Although I have not test ridden the bike when I took the battery clamp/locking mechanism apart a retaining screw had started to work loose and I re adjusted the clamp and tightened everything up and the battery is now held nice and securely so I am hoping this particular rattle is now history...

I had my first ride to work after my main family summer holiday and 17 days since my last ride.Although the weather forecast was a bit off putting I was determined to ride my bike. In the end I was really lucky with no rain in both directions. On my way home on the road I could tell that there...

Blimey Nealh those panniers are a good find at that price! I do use Ortleibs and have found them really tough and long lasting and also easy to take off and put back on as well as capable to overfill without issue. As well as shopping etc I use mine to carry stuff to work on my commute...

The Dutch reach method of opening a car door is to use the arm furthest from the car door you are opening forcing you to turn your body towards the car door you are opening and allowing you the opportunity to look over your shoulder to see whether a cyclist or motorcyclist is coming.

I was quite taken aback when I first noticed this bike tethered at one of my local stations in Surrey. Since I first noticed it the bike has been regularly left there by a commuter for about a year so far without mishap although I would not do it myself. Though you have half a chance in Surrey...

If you have the money and want one I would be inclined to get the R&M Delite, looks just the ticket and one would hope it is screwed together well.

I have a 2011 emate city and your bike could provide many spar parts. I am close enough to reading to drive over and get it. I have sent you a message with my mobile number. Let me know if you are interested.

I do a regular commute on a 2015 hard tail Haibike with Yamaha PU motor rear rack and panniers and am over 9,500 miles still using the original battery which is holding up very well with remarkably little if any noticeable degradation so far. My first motor was working exactly as it should...

Although I run a single chain ring set up on my Yamaha PU Haibike and have found by a little experimentation the perfect gearing for my own journeys that include off road and road riding and therefore need a pretty wide spread, I can see your double chain set up as also very good for road riding...

It might sound a bit extravagant but I would seriously consider getting the Oxygen as well as the cx powered bike you already have. Almost by accident (quite literally) I have a Yamaha PU crank drive hardtail mountain bike and an old Oxygen hub powered Emate city. To explain I was knocked off...

I have both an old Oxygen Emate City hub powered bike and a Haibike Yamaha PU motored torque sensor crank drive Haibike and if you want exercise and assistance as well as the ability to tackle serious terrain off road the crank drive wins all up. However I have not ridden the highly acclaimed...

I might be wrong but I thought Oxygen was based in Yorkshire. Their rear hub mountain bike is very well thought of by owners with a long thread in the reviews section.

Sounds like you are having fun. Those custom settings sound a good way to fine tune the way the bike supports your efforts to take into account your weight, fitness terrain etc and you can obviously change them as your fitness improves, weight reduces or how the mood takes you. I also went...

Hi Kangooroo, Oxygen turned up trumps and after getting me to send them the above pictures had a rummage and found the last one they had in a box that I have duly bought and should be on its way to me. By the way how are you getting on with the replacement battery you bought for your Emate of...

Unfortunately my magnetic disc that activates my pedalec assist has taken a knock and broken into a number of pieces. Could anyone recommend a good contact / somewhere to get a quick replacement. It appears to have 5 magnets and looks to have the letters SM and A on the disc. This is a 2011...

I commute to work and back on a 2015 Yamaha PW powered de restricted Haibike sDuro Hard seven mountain bike with rear rack panniers mudguards and puncture resistant tyres. I have just completed four days with a total of 94 miles covered, averaging around 24 miles a day. My total milage since...

Valid point about drive train maintenance on a hub drive. I have an old 2011 Oxygen Emate City hub drive that I still use to get me to work on occassions (10 miles) and a hub drive is very relaxing to ride. At the cost of an Oxygen you could even budget to replace it every three to four years so...

I guess another issue trying to go quicker using more power on the road with higher gearing is that wind resistance would be a much greater factor and you would be hammering your battery a lot more.

I run a de restrricted 9 speed/single chainring set up with Yamaha PW and have managed to get it to perform the dual role of predominantly off route to work using some demanding single track sections and a return journey on the road where I try to average around 20mph for my 10 mile journey. I...

More beautiful weather for my cross country ride to work. Ride on Tuesday before disaster struck! Tuesday should have been a sublime ride to work (see pictures above) but a hidden branch sheared the bolt that attaches my right hand side pannier support rod and the impact pitched me off the...
