Just a quick note - after the first "glitch" on short test run, it didn't re-occur and bike was fine (and much faster) for 14 miles. It looks as though a clean and re-grease of planet gears has paid dividends. Has to be electrical problem now I feel sure, but gone for now, Thanks for posting...

This is the only sort of thing that makes any sense now, i noticed one of the longer of the 9 connector pins to the motor was dark and dull rather than bright brass yellow like the others but it's clean now. No, I haven't changed anything from std. As said, it is intermittent, i think i will...

After 4000 miles covered i had hoped you might credit me with the ability to recognise a serious motor noise by now Sturmey ;) This is nothing easy or obvious hence me posting - I was hoping someone might have had an identical experience and be able to shed some light but I realised that it...

This thread is of great interest to me as just developed an intermittent vibration/whine that is not easy to find. If the wheel is allowed to spin with no load then it disappears. I have two Oxygen bikes with Bafang bfswx02 rear hub drives (250W/36V) and they have been faultless for 3K plus...

don't be put off hellsfire, there is a wealth of knowledge and help on here and other Forums, have done the same so far with two Oxygen bikes and i'm no electrical expert.

As the whole exercise could have just been an expensive time-consuming mistake, I plumped for a cheap unit with the best reviews. Only fitted around a week ago with the most intricate and intensive soldering i've done since my slot racing days, and then totally surprised myself to find that the...

In the absence of any replies i've swotted up myself and decided to adapt a popular alternative. For anyone else doing this, an older battery pack might have the same set-up as mine in that it includes a stout red wire soldered to B+ on the BMS board. It turns out this is just a convenient...

I'm hoping someone can help, i've been trying for 2 weeks now to locate the above without success and am starting to look for ways to adapt a more common board. The battery is a Reention Dorado 36v 11.5 Ampere hour. My BMS has 4 "larger" wire connections rather than 3 - i.e. C-, P-, B-and B+. It...

Sorry, I somehow missed this reply but soldiered on rigging up a test to see which pins would make the rear wheel turn.

I realise i'm being lazy here, but partly because I can't dismantle the above unit with ease:- Basically I purchased a thumb-throttle unit which was listed as being for a mid-drive Bafang despite mine being a rear-hub Bafang and it doesn't work. I can see that this is basically a rheostat...

Oxygen Bike Company do have batteries in stock again now or alternatively have a swot up on "Dorado" type batteries, yes, they are interchangeable.

I know it's a few years since anyone's posted on this thread, but certainly found it helpful. I've ordered a new connector male/female but meanwhile waiting for it to arrive, i've have reduced the plastic flange width on the male body by around a millimetre to increase surface area of plug when...

apart from the chain tensioner, i'm leaning toward the "Pro" version myself from that video anyway. Much to explore.

I agree bobbyrobson . here in the UK the distribution appears to be sparse but am pursuing a purchase as finally realising that mid-motor even at DIY level, is preferable overall to wheelhub drive. I think the over-complex servicing of some of the popular mid-drives has put me off because it...

Just a short note to say how useful this thread has been to me as yet to buy first "kit" but it will be similar to yours hurtlocker66.
