    PAS Wiring Question

    My Pando Pro kit's PAS Sensor has a very short cable. Too short for the proposed place the controller is going to sit. I have an all-in-one Kunteng BB-fitting PAS - the type that slides into the BB splines. It has a much longer cable that would fit my plans and is a far better solution IMO. A...

    What cable to extend my battery leads?

    Being something of an electrical dullard, I was hoping some kind soul could point me in the right direction of a link to some cable that would be suitable to extend the leads of my BGA 36V/17.5Ah battery. Jimmy made the leads short, as the Panda kit expects you to use a rather flimsy...

    Waterproof connector

    I am connecting the battery on my Oxygen eMate MTB to the controller via cables that will have to be exposed to the elements. I will need some way of separating the battery cables from the connector to remove the battery. Is there a small, waterproof connector that will do the trick?

    Oxygen eMate - Replacing battery & controller

    My EMate's power supply issue has reared its ugly head again. It's been back to Oxygen twice & they have replaced the contacts on the battery, but I am fed up of it going wrong. When it works it's a fantastic bike, but it is very unreliable because of this problem. So, I have a very good...

    Where can I buy a yellow-connector twist throttle?

    I've fitted some bent bars to my Oxygen which have made the riding position much more comfortable. However, I've lost some room to fit bits as a result, the main casualty being the thumb-grip throttle. I don't use it often, but I would like to have the option. Panda have one that would fit...

    Tortec Transalp Disc Pannier Rack

    (Mods, maybe we could have a parts & accessories review board?) This is an excellent bit of kit; light, sturdy, easy to level and simple to fit. I have two; one in silver, the other black. The latter has had loads of use and has proved itself to be a very durable bit of kit. I really like the...

    Panda Pro/Orbit Orion Conversion

    This will probably be an episodic thread, as it has already proved complicated! Tempted by their offer, I bought a 700c FWD Pro kit from Panda. It arrived sooner than promised, although I later found out the PAS was missing. Oliver at Panda sent one out the next day. The bike it's going to be...

    Can I buy a Das-Kit Battery case?

    My Oxygen has one of these batteries. Although my battery isn't as good as it used to be, it easily handles my needs at the moment, although I am thinking of touring on the bike in the summer & need more range. I have enquired of Jimmy at BGA how much a recell would be and the price is OK, but...

    Oxygen S-Cross Step-Through on eBay

    Nowt to do with me, but seems a good deal on the face of it. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Oxygen-S-Cross-ST-Step-Through-Electric-Bike-NEW-rrp-1399-/322514242432?hash=item4b1758cb80:g:doUAAOSwUKxYf0Y7

    Long-Term, Reliable FW Kit - does it exist?

    Every ebike I have had so far, whether it be off the shelf or conversion, has had electrical issues. I am getting a little tired of things going wrong on my main form of commuting transport. So, is there a kit that offers VERY good waterproofing and long-term reliability? I don't want one that...

    Thule High-Level Twin Bike Rack

    This is a high quality Thule rack - only it doesn't fit my current car! Designed to lift bikes high up over the rear of the car, it negates the need for a lightboard as the bikes are lifted high enough to clear the lights on most cars. It's quite a large beast suited to cars Golf size and...

    Oxygen eMate MTB Motor Noise & Vibration

    I'm used to the rather loud whine of the motor on my Oxygen. It's a RWD machine, so the worst of the noise is behind me, so no big deal. However, since I got the machine very wet a couple of weeks ago, I've noticed that there is often a short, rasping noise when I lift off the power by stopping...

    Oxygen eMate MTB Power Problem After Riding in Rain

    I have started a new thread, as I suspect this issue may be different from the other similar issue I had recently. (But it may not...) Anyway, last Tuesday I rode my bike home in a downpour. A real humdinger of a rain storm. The bike switched itself off. I decided to ride the last 5 miles home...

    Trade Members Being Too Overtly Salesy in 'What Bike?' Threads?

    I have noticed that at least one trade member takes every single opportunity on many 'what bike should I buy?' threads to very overtly - and rather unsubtlely - push their wares onto the thread. Now, sometimes the suggestion is valid and the bike might suit the task in question, other times the...

    Oxygen eMate Speed sensdor switch

    My Oxygen has an intermittent power fault that I'm hoping I've cured. When cleaning the bike I noticed that the current sensor fitted is the usual disc with magnets and a sensor stuck on the drive side of the bottom bracket. The disc is slightly out of true and the magnets aren't all the same...

    Oxygen eMate Power Issue

    So, I'm riding along and the power cuts in and out gradually. On most of the time, it then slowly subsides and returns, so it's not a quick on/off thing. The bike is very grubby, so I'm going to give the PAS sensor magnets and pick up a good clean, but is there anything else that could be...

    Battery/Charger Compatibility

    My Oxygen battery came with a dedicated charger and both work just fine. I do, however, have a charger left over from when I disposed of my Woosh Sirocco and its battery. Would I be able to use the Woosh charger to charge the Oxygen battery, or are there risks involved?

    Spare Oxygen eMate Rear Wheel

    I love my Oxygen. I'm commuting on it through the winter & it's quicker than the car. I have spiked tyres on it at the moment, and the weather is rather changeable. On my other non-powered MTB I have a spare set of wheels with knobblies & city tyres on them and I can swap over quite easily to...

    Suntour NCX Suspension Seatpost, 31.6mm

    I recently bought this on ebay assuming it would fit my Oxygen ebike. It doesn't! I'm going to get a 27.2 one and a shim to fit it to my bike, so this one is surplus to requirements. I'm after what I paid for it; £35 posted.
