    Help between Wisper 905 Torque Mk II and Oxygen S-Cross MTB ...

    Sadly not within about 40 miles. A friend has a 905se so I’ll try that though I understand they ride differently.

    One last query of you. I see there is only one size frame. I'm 5ft 11in. Would that fit me do you think?

    I know it varies but what sort of mileage would you say you got on a very hilly ride. Would you have a rough idea based on your experience?

    I'm still considering your Rio MTB or Rio FB as options but I was hoping for a slightly more commuter looking bike (if that makes sense) at least in terms of wheels. I like the way your bikes come with all the mud guards, pannier rack, lights etc included it has to be said.

    No, wouldn't even know where to start. Struggling enough just looking through the options of e-bikes! I had a brief moment yesterday when I thought to myself whether it would be a lot cheaper for a better outcome but didn't really know where to begin.

    Thanks for the suggestion though. There is a shop in Halifax I’ve been a recommended so will try there as a bit closer to home.

    Hi David. Thanks for the offer. It’s a demo bike so sadly not a brand new battery. So how would you convince me to go for the Wisper Torque over the Oxygen S-Cross MTB? I know it’s hard to say but what range would you say approximately possible on reasonably hilly terrain with highest support...

    It's quite a way to check things out. I can't see either of these on their website either and not sure if they are connected to the Cycle to Work scheme (that £300 saving is pretty crucial).

    ... I have another thread going where I asked about bike recommendations. I'm looking for a bike that will easily do a 12 mile (in total) commute in pretty hilly terrain and will cover the odd bit of off roading (likely along canal tow paths rather than MTB per say) with as little effort as...

    I know Cooper Lane in Holmfirth. Not sure I'd walk up it let alone ride up it! :) Having said that I've walked many a hill and dale round here so just I'm just probably exaggerating. I take it you are local to the area (I'm over in Meltham). Would you have a suggestion for a bike around the...

    That hill is pretty much out my back door! But thankfully I wouldn't have to go up it on my commute. Interesting that it averages 7% with most being 14.5%. That gives me a better feel for what my commute would be like (i.e. not that bad). And I have no intention of going up that hill (unless of...

    Hi Andy. I put the route into a Bike Ride predictor on the Woosh pages and it said the steepest gradient was 25% but looking at the steepest parts they look to be 6-12% approx.
