TBH Nealh after buying a second Yose battery in March 2022 to take advantage of a price drop on ebay to £165 including a spar charger and delivery for a new 15Ah silver fish , the original battery from the £100 Oxygen Emate is now more of a back up, however it does still work, though as we know...

Sounds harsh but I would want the price to reflect a new battery for each bike. Maybe not from Oxygen but the price of two batteries from a generic supplier like Yose.

A longer route combining a section by train. I think bikes often combine well with trains despite many operators making it harder for cyclists. So my target was The Shed in Lindford Hampshire where I could get a bite to eat before riding back home. As insurance I took a basic sandwich with me...

Gentle use over the last year...... Just for the record as of today Sunday March the 26th, the recorded mileage stands at 3,291, and the mileage last year on March the 24th was 2,925. So over the last year I have ridden a modest 366 miles, and 2,791 miles since I bought the bike second hand...

To help keep a bike going, Peter at Performance Line Bearings has proved to be a great asset.

17,344 mile, 8 Year Update Another great year riding my 2015 Haibike suro Hardseven SL Yamaha. The 21st of March marked the end of my eighth year of ownership. I recorded 2,046 miles for the year, and ended with a total recorded mileage for the bike of 17,344. It is no longer my ride to work...

Could not see a Yamaha Battery.

A bit of TLC makes my £100 second hand electric bike ready to ride again. A few months back, after what seemed like a gap of well over a year, David, my £100 second hand bike broke a spoke in the rear wheel. I had been sharing the shopping and errand jobs between David and my other Oxygen Emate...

My council have put in a shared path pedestrian/bikes alongside a busy road leading up to a set of traffic lights that also includes a pedestrian crossing. It keeps me off the busy road and using my bell works well. The thing is there is a small access road that I have to cross just before...

Snow ride in March Quite a lot of exercise as I rode 15 miles to my friends house mostly off road cross country in the snow, and then home again on the road, with a 8 ish mile walk in between with my friends. Though a nice pub lunch in the middle of the walk as well. Lovely ride in the...

Some pictures showing the electrical connections when my motor was taken out to send to Performance Line bearings. The non drive side crank arm would not come off, but performance line bearings said this was common and they have all the tools to do that job. I found performance line bearings to...

Finding a bike shop that will work on electric bikes can be difficult. Ideally you might go to a bike shop with a service department that sells geared rear hub motored electric bikes. If this is not possible look for a good independent bike shop and have a chat with them. However, putting a...

ricoghardforth, I am sure there is no reason why a 2015 Oxygen Emate MTB might not have survived, like yours, however I fear some discard them rather than fix them, which is a shame, as they are more easily fixed than the purpose built ones with defeat software. I still have my Emate city road...

I don't have a Brose motor but those seals for keeping water out should really be on a new motor to start with, for as we know. almost whatever crank drive motor you have, keeping water out as much as possible is essential for longevity.

All mechanical things at some point wear out or need to be repaired. The purpose built bike industry has a real issue over the support it provides for the motor and battery, sometimes inside the warranty, and more often after the two year warranty has expired. That said the dealer I bought my...

My drive train gets more neglected than others in this thread perhaps with the exception of guerney. I use Muc Off wet lube. My Haibike Hard tail is off road every ride, so doused in all sorts every ride. The Muc off wet lube stays on longer than others in the conditions I ride in. There is a...

Ride, Dinner at Friends, Music Concert, Wild Return Ride Home...30 miles in total 17.0000 miles now under the wheels..... An epic evening started with a ride on my Haibike to my friends house, with the first half off road, and then with time running out to get to my friends house at the agreed...

There is a huge thread about Yosepower hub kits that look good for what you have in mind to convert a bike. Otherwise a geared rear hub electric bike like the Woosh Gran-Camino. You don't mention gradients. Downhill most electric bikes will exceed 25 mph easily. As the gradient increases even...

I was chatting to a local independent bike mechanic today who thought now was a very good time to buy a bike. He talks to local bike dealers and according to him they are holding a lot of stock on the basis that the boom in cycling during lock down would continue. He also said that a lot of...

Probably a bit cynical, but the plethora of new wheel size, latest greatest thing etc, particularly in Mountain Bikes is predominantly a way to sell a lot of very similar bikes all over again!
