I went on a boys off road motorcycle weekend to the Wye valley earlier in the year and stayed in a Premier Inn and noticed three lads with expensive mountain bikes carefully wheeling them through the lobby to the lifts and onward to their rooms.

I am over the weight limits myself and carry two full ortleib panniers on a rear rack on my Haibike sDuro 2015 Yamaha, and my 12/14 mile off road route to work has some challenging proper mountain bike sections for both me and the bike. I like the simplicity of a hard tail and thought that I...

The first motor on my rear hub motor wheel 2011 Oxygen emate city failed inside the warranty period and Oxygen sent me a new rear motor wheel to replace it. I had no spoke issues with the first wheel but the second replacement one began to break spokes. As I had a lot of spokes from the first...

I have a 2011 old Oxygen rear hub drive bike that is still going strong and a real workhorse. The drive train on this bike lasts for what seems like forever, so long in fact that I cannot remember when I last changed it, and the bike itself has proved to be extremely robust. It is a simple...

I know it does not get to the bottom of why your display does not show an accurate speed reading, but you could just buy a cheap wireless cycle computer and use that to show you speed and probably quite a few other parameters for under a tenner.

If you test road them both and preferred the Oxygen then why would you buy the other one. I bought a 2011 Oxygen Emate and test road it against Panasonic crank drive Kalkhoff's but preferred the feel of the Oxygen and am still happy with it and still riding it. Cadence rear hub drive bikes are...

A bit late in the year to be beginning to use my Summer loop but for various reasons I have ridden to work and back much less at the start of this Summer. I completed three return trips over Tuesday to Friday with no trip on Thursday completing 72 miles in total. The summer route is a generally...

Although a much cheaper and lower specification Haibike I have the same battery and probably very similar motor. I bought my bike in March 2015 and use it to commute to work and back so the mileage may be higher than some others. My battery is the original 400Wh one that came with the bike so...

Hi anotherkiwi, off topic but I spotted you in the channel 4 Tour de France highlights program yesterday during the closing credits at the end with ZZ top being played, ie a red bent on a cycle/footpath shown briefly cruising along beside the peloton. I don't know if you can get a chance to see...

Never had one but pedelec member Kangooroo rates it. https://www.piratescave.co.uk/seago-folding-electric-bike.html https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/folding-e-bikes-in-hilly-cities-edinburgh-in-particular-re-post.27257/#post-366041

Way back in 2011 I bought an Oxygen from 50 cycles and got no help at all when I needed it looked at after I bought it.https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/e-bikeshop-co-uk.24565/page-7#post-315436

As I only use the Haibike to ride to work and back and have not been required to start work regularly where I normally do my mileage for the year is already way behind where it more typically would be. I have only ridden 180 miles since the beginning of May. However I am about to resume my...

Looks like your bike is still just about holding together soundwave!

Crank drives often make you work harder for the assistance, not bad in itself but different from a hub drive. You should test ride the ones you short list before you buy. Crank drives wear the transmission out a lot quicker than a hub drive. I have both and love both but for relaxed riding on...

I am also still riding an Oxygen Emate City like yours and it is my go to bike to wizz into town to do shopping and then haul it back up the hill home. Mine is 2011 and looks very well used but still works very well. Gently de restricted, ie the loop of wire has been attended to allowing around...

Let the panic begin!

I may be wrong but in this particular case I think because both parties got injured and both parties were at fault he would have greatly improved his financial out come by counter claiming through a personal injury lawyer. He did not need cycle insurance to do that. That does not mean that...

With not enough places to park and lock my bike I cram it in and lock it up wherever a bit of space allows and very often on the opposite side of a bike already parked. I must admit I have never considered the handlebar situation as whenever I have had a handlebar locking situation when removing...

Witness H has done him no favours and in my opinion is less convincing than the other witnesses and the cyclist himself. The truth is out there somewhere. The judge does however appear to be trying to be fair. If he had counter claimed it would appear to have reduced his liability although there...
