I am reluctantly having to sell my Oxygen S Cross electric bike. It has done no more than 5 miles in total. It is the 13 a battery model. 26” tyres. It cost £1400 but am asking for £975 It would have to be picked up from Sheffield S8

That’s good to know

Thanks Fishy , certainly wil

I certainly won’t, although it seems like the bad weather has arrived - Cue victor Meldrew - I don’t bloody believe it!

I had been procrastinating about buying a pedelec for some time, with the usual excuses like.. am I too old @68? Or can I justify spending the money etc. I visited several dealers around Sheffield and everyone had decent offerings. I then thought about visiting Oxygen seeing as they are located...

Yes ,the idea is that because I live 30 mins by car to the Peak District- Tissington trail etc. I want something that I can fold down and put in the back . I don't mind doing it myself although I'm probably being a bit nieve at the enormity of the task. So I will look for something like a Dahon...

Oops! Don't know what happened there. Thanks for your reply - great advice d8veh. There are some folders out there with larger chain rings so will investigate that first

So I'm still wondering what to do and like some others on here I've ended up tying myself in knots with all the options up for grabs. I'm looking for a not too expensive folder for canal trips etc . Somewhere on here someone suggested converting a Claude Butler Cirrus with a Bafang mid drive...

I've also looked at the Freego Folder and am still trying to understand what you get extra for paying 200 and odd quid more than you would for the Gale

One also has to consider aftercare when purchasing...someone offering an all singing/dancing bike for little money isn't going to provide much of it. That's what the better known manufacturers Woosh, Wisper, Kudos etc are known for...then again a supplier has to start somewhere I suppose.

Hi poptop, I'm also in the market for a new bike (folder). We are both the same height / weight. The biggest problem is getting to try all these bikes out which is nigh on impossible and at 65 not enough time! So, we have to rely on what others have to say though I must say it doesn't help much...

I thought The Edinburgh cycle Centre on Broadfield road were official Wisper Centre for Sheffield Phil
