    Oxygen S-Cross CB -broken battery mount.

    Reention make the battery, I think its this one: http://reention.com/product/detail/47 I could contact them and see if they would send a replacement. Or I could contact Oxygen, but I'm just a bit fed up of arguing every point with them. I don't want the bike taken away (again), I just want to...

    Oxygen S-Cross CB -broken battery mount.

    Thinking about it, and having closer look at the pictures, could be the mount was not screwed down properly when transferred to the new frame. No screw popped out on removal, could just have been binding from movement of the battery mount. -That seems more straightforward, and as there is a...

    Oxygen S-Cross CB -broken battery mount.

    Opinions please, araldite?! Back story: I got home last night, used the key to unlock the battery, tugged on battery, it wouldn't budge. Looked closes at the battery & mount as I turned the key, I could see the locking pin disengage from the receiver on the battery -i.e. the lock could be fully...

    Oxygen S-Cross CB seat tube failure.

    @Mal69 I bought this 3 years ago: http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Avenir-Waterproof-Rear-Pannier-Bag_32894.htm Its been fantastic for my needs, but you cant lock it to the frame and I don't think they make them anymore -sorry I also get the impression that my frame was an earlier design so you should...

    Oxygen S-Cross CB seat tube failure.

    @d8veh -Ouch! Hope that didn't occur when you were on it. I've added some more photos to give a better view, -you can see the colour change where the upper part of the pin NCX was outside the frame. Your thoughts that it could be related to the fore and aft motion seem sensible. The new one...

    Oxygen S-Cross CB seat tube failure.

    I'm 5ft 11", I've taken out the seat post they've supplied and photographed it next to the NCX and ruler for scale. The one they have supplied is shorter than the NCX. I agree it is excellent service. I just wish they didn't make me feel like I was bothering them! Just for clarity, my work...

    Oxygen S-Cross CB seat tube failure.

    Got into work a couple of days ago, was chatting to a work colleague when I noticed a major crack in the seat tube of my S-Cross CB. -Please see first two attached images. I contacted Oxygen bicycles to alert them and ask if it was under warranty. The next day the came out and picked the bike...

    Cannot make my New Oxygen S-Cross MTB do more than 20mph.

    I would be interested to know if the passwords change from the 1st to 2nd times the menu is accessed. I swear mine did. From a manufactures perspective I'm unsure how you could effectively prevent people from modifying their settings/components. I wonder if it is better to let it be easily...

    Cannot make my New Oxygen S-Cross MTB do more than 20mph.

    *cough* Hold set and + for a few seconds, screen flashes 5 - use -/+ and SET keys to set 2-digit code (trial and error, mine was 12, though I could swear it was in the 90's fist time I did it -possible way for Oxygen to check if this menu accessed or my paranoia?) Access magic menu, use -/+ &...

    Spare Charger Oxygen S-Cross CB

    Just to follow this up, purchased the charger linked above, arrived very quickly ~1 week, parcel was marked with UK address which was interesting. The charger is smaller than the genuine Oxygen - better for lobbing in the pannier. Seems to charge the battery fine - no problems.

    Gravel Bikes

    I'd be interested to try a gravel bike. I used to ride a cyclocross to work prior to the Oxygen. My route was a mix of on road and off road and I found it to be quick on both. I've read that the position is a little more upright on gravel bikes, is that true?

    saw my first oxygen ebike in the flesh today

    You could buy the S-Cross CB from halfords: http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bikes/electric-bikes/oxygen-s-cross-cb-hybrid-electric-bike-19in I'm not sure if you can still apply for a discount, but worth a try. *and after sorting out a few initial gremlins it is a very nice commuter.

    Spare Charger Oxygen S-Cross CB

    Thanks for your replies. I had thought it should be straightforward (any 42V, 2A charger with correct connector). The £50 price tag filled me with doubt that I'd must have missed something and it couldn't be so straightforward, and that little LED that turns from Green to Red most have some real...

    Spare Charger Oxygen S-Cross CB

    Anyone have any recommendations for sourcing a spare charger for my S-Cross? The one that came with it is a SANS SSLC084V42, rated output 42.0V - 2A, centre positive. Oxygen will sell me one, but for £50. :( Would there be any issues (aside from my warranty) if I used a third party one, such...

    Oxygen S-Cross CB -hunt for the shunt

    From theory to practice: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/oxygen-s-cross-cb-shunt-mod.27282/ Thought I'd best make a new thread in the S-Pedelecs section to keep the Mod Gods happy!

    Oxygen S-Cross CB shunt mod

    Following on from this thread: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/oxygen-s-cross-cb-hunt-for-the-shunt.27196/ I've done the deed. Bought 3x R006 resistors rated to 2W and 2512 in size and piggy backed these onto the three R002's on the board. It isn't my finest soldering job, but seems to...
