    I had no idea! I don't think I want to, but thanks for pointing it out. Also, I found SYEBC/Oxygen really friendly and helpful when I visited, I think it was Chris who served me but I might be wrong on that. I haven't been to any other electric bike shops but I have been to some bike shops over...

    Help! Oxygen S-Cross Countless Puncture Help

    I've just bought an Oxygen bike and one of the things I asked about was how much hassle rear tyre punctures were going to be.

    Ah, thanks for all the replies. :) I'm just wading through all the extra info you've given me :D The Camino seems to only come in crossbar configuration so that's out, I like the look of the Santana but I think that's unavailable at present. The Volt Pulse does have a stepthrough version but...

    What I want: an electric bike for leisure riding in a hilly bit of Yorkshire. After 20 years of enthusiastic bursts of cycling (& walking up hills) when at home, and much enjoyable riding in flatter places on holiday, I'm finally taking the plunge and deciding I need a bit of assistance to enjoy...
