    Oxygen S Cross E-Bike!

    that's true only for the direct drive motors like the one on the Stealth 1000w bike. The geared hub motors have internal clutch and gearbox, there is no resistance when the bike moves forward. the motor is normally disengaged until it provides assistance. When riding without power, you do feel...

    do you mean we pay an extortionate price for the hardware we can't use unless they tell us to press the button?

    cant decide what kit to buy

    johny's bike has an octalink bottom bracket. Those bottom brackets usually leave not enough gap between the smallest ring and the BB cup for a normal magnet disc. The solution I come up with is like this: 1. cut out the plastic fins to allow a nromal split magnet disc to be fitted around the...

    agreed. I use quill stems for traditional diamond frame bikes. They have a large range of vertical adjustment to give you a more upright riding position.

    johny's bike has an octalink bottom bracket. It's easy enough to fit a split magnet disc to it, you only have to remove the fins on the split disc to make it to the same diameter as the BB spindle.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think there is very little difference in deterrent value between owning say 100 W88 warheads (8 of them fitted in each Trident) and 10,000 warheads. I honestly can't see anyone of us, regardless of political leaning, willing to approve first use. So, if Trident is there as a deterrent, we...

    Recommendations for cheap low risk Car replacement

    a lightweight motor weighs about 2.5-3kgs, medium weight like the SWX02 on the Rio about 3.6kgs and big motor like the Bafang BPM on the Woosh Big Bear weighs about 4.5kgs. The extra weight is the result of having larger gearbox, magnets and copper wires. They translate to more torque at the...

    Hi frodo, You are not heavy enough for a front wheel drive, you will lose a fair bit of traction.

    I would recommend the Woosh Rio. It has a larger motor than the Karoo, better acceleration and hill climbing ability. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?rio-mtb

    Hi Ben, it's not a false economy if you already know and like the donor bike well.

    I am very sorry about this, the USB port on the battery is not connected. The online manual has been updated accordingly.
