Have fun test riding & let us know how you get on. My folder is an A2B Kuo, which has since been discontinued/upgraded to the Kuo+ (and has subsequently gone up in price). It's a great little bike with a handy throttle but the 24v battery definitely doesn't get you as far as the 36v. I have a...

Yes, you'll probably need to decide between weight, power & wheel size. I spent ages looking for a light folder so I know how confusing it can be! My bike handles the small hills round here ok - low gear, high assist & then gentle pedalling is all that's needed but it's not like a moped, you do...

Hi Sarah, The 10kg weight is very impressive but according to the spec it has a 24v battery & 160w motor (rather than the more commonplace 36v battery & 250w motor) so you'd want to check it could manage a 10 mile hilly commute and give you all the power you require. I don't know that particular...

Had a look at the wheel and it seems to be spinning freely. Maybe slightly off. The mech hanger is definitely bent. Thanks for that pointer Rob. The only other thing my OH forgot to mention is that the rear mudguard practically bent over double when this happened and the stay cord is bent. He...

Hmmm, it's unlikely to be wear and tear as the bike is still in pristine condition and only gets used occasionally on short gentle rides. Will take a look at the wheel spin tomorrow in the light and see if there's any wobble...

Thank you Rob. You are a star. That info is so helpful, including the approximate cost of a bike shop repair (if we can find one that will touch an ebike!). It confirms what my husband thought had happened. He just isn't sure how the cage attaches to the rest of the derailer. The cage has a...

Think maybe I should have posted this in technical or FAQ's...sorry, not sure how to move it there!

Hi guys, Excuse the non technical description. I'll try to add a photo to show what's happened... My OH was just out on the Diva taking it for a spin when he heard a clattering noise. Seems like part of the rear derailleur (think it's a shimano acera) came loose and is just hanging down...

Cheers. I'll add them to a growing list and try to find some reviews...Jumpin Jack, Knobby, Holy Rollers, Little Joe. So many to get confused over!

Thanks for the feedback Jonah. I was all set to order some but will hold off for now. I can't stand the feeling of poor grip on a loose surface...impossible to relax and enjoy the ride. I've got 20"x1.75" Kenda Khan on the bike atm. They're ok but a little narrow I think, especially on a small...

Always :D

Now, what about Schwalbe Big Apples - anyone tried them on an electric or non electric bike & recommend them?

Well, thank you very much for that! After some tape measure action & a closer inspection I see there are some markings on the bottom of the post and it says 31.8mm. I assumed it would be 27mm for some reason. If I can't get a bouncy seat post in that size I'll look into the shim link...

LeighPing, when you say a regular seat post do you mean the pogo stick type ones? I've just looked on Ebay and seen one for £12.95. Cheap as chips. There are different sizes with only a mm or two between them - call me daft but do you just measure the diameter of the tube as accurately as...

Hi Guys, A couple of months ago I treated myself to a second electric bike as I needed one that was portable. Got a pretty good deal on an A2B Kuo and it's thus far proved to be a great little bike. I've mainly used it on grass, tarmac & fairly smooth paths but it has no suspension at all and...

Glad you're enjoying the new bike SteveMcG. She is indeed a beauty. Agree with you 100% about the excellent service from John at Oxygen. My Oxygen Diva was purchased 3 years ago so is well out of warranty. It's a fantastic bike but recently the power had started cutting out and John was more...

Thanks John. We did keep on the case of the dealer (bet they love us!) to nudge things along but regardless it all went well in the end. Oxygen couriered the replacement out sharpish and Rami at E Bikes worked late to get it assembled and ready. So thumbs up on all counts.

Hi guys, my replacement Diva was collected today. Looking good leaning jauntily against the bookcase in the lounge. It arrived at E Bikes yesterday and was assembled as asked. Everything seems fine. OH just took it for a spin in the rain and came back with a very muddy bike and a very large...

Thanks John, good to know. I've no real complaint yet - Oxygen are sending a replacement bike which is the best one can ask for. I didn't see it as a warranty issue as such as the bike was obviously broken from the get go which is why I wasn't happy to wait for parts to ship from abroad to fix...

They didn't check anything but I admit we were silly not to insist on that. They said they would originally but maybe they were busy or thought we weren't bothered and as my OH didn't push the issue it didn't get done (he's only used to standard bikes so probably thought it wasn't a big deal)...
