Bugger, only just seen this. I have a mint Suntour in my shed which I had totally forgotton about until this thread, used for one ride on the Mrs bike but as stated above it added a bit too much height for her. Could maybe have done a deal on it.

Cheers for the link SW but I think the stock bash guard is enough for my use. Its pretty substantial and I never ride rock trails so I think I will be OK.

:D You could say the same thing about the Model A Ford but I wouldnt want to drive around in one of those either. I think I probably dislike art deco even more than your bike tbh. Look, we get it. You dont like Haibikes. You really dont need to keep banging on about it or trying to justify...

No point backpeddling on your initial comment on the basis that you never saw the vids as its totally irrelevant. You dont like the bike, thats cool. I think yours looks like a bag of toss that my gran wouldnt even ride so we're all good. And its Haibike btw :D

I did say that Haibikes were a bit Marmite in the vid but to be honest I dont think I've seen a worse looking bike than the one in your avatar so you are indeed correct on that front :D

My review (although its not really a review, just my own thoughts about the bike!) is in 2 parts. Part 1: And Part 2:

Alright chaps Been a while since I was last here after my and my sons Trances got nicked some year and a half ago. After some insurance and an ongoing bike to work scheme I managed to get him a nice used non E Trance to replace his old one (a much later model so he's well chuffed) and I picked...

Ah, interesting thanks for that. I didnt think the 2 companies were the same because I have never seen an Oxygen bike with the Oxydrive battery/battery mounting. I did have a quick look on the website just now - an Oxygen 13Ah battery is £440 new o_O Shame I cant just buy a battery mount etc...

I think you are confusing Oxydrive with Oxygen?

As it seems like I am unfortunately not going to recover my stolen Giant Trance with Oxydrive kit, I think its probably best if I bury the sorry event and see if anyone needs a spare batt for their bike. This has only done a few hundred miles, the bike had about 650miles on it when stolen but my...

Ooh..came across this thread following a search on google for thru-axle motors. I just bought a 2019 Giant Trance and wanted to get another rear kit to replace my (now stolen) Trance/Oxydrive combo. Its uplifting to see that the motors are actually made (albeit it seems for OE at tje moment)...

Hmm thats actually smaller than mine which is 90x50x28. Cheers for measuring that, I will be in touch.

So my el cheapo Chinese kit must be sine then? As it has 5 hall wires?

OK well that's another one of my bright ideas out the window then! Cheers

Very interesting! I just read your thread. It does indeed sound like a really nice system but we just dont have £80 sitting around at the mo, we are trying to work out how to replace 2 stolen bikes, one of which was my boys so we need to sort him out first as well. Out of interest, would you...

Ok it might be something or it might be nothing...I just probed all the 5v feeds I could find on the board and they all read 4.33v. Oddly, there is also one marked up 4.3v, which when probed gave 4.43v... I am just wondering if my 5v feeds have somehow dropped, which is why my pas level sender...

Is that because KT are sine as opposed to square? I don't think the Mrs will be bothered either way tbh. Just another question - many of the controllers show as 24v/36v or 36v/48v. This bike is a 36v, which one should I go for??!

Well I have at least managed to identify what each wire does that goes to the controller I have at the moment. Theres actually 5 hall sensor wires, 3 of which match the colours of the 3 motor wires plus a red and a black so it doesn't look too difficult. Changing connectors and or soldering...

Ah OK, I did think a FET would be a shot in the dark. Thanks for the FEt explanation, but I am not sure it would help me with wiring up a new controller. It seems that you cant just connect all the wires randomly to the controller and hope for the best, they do need to be in a specific order...

Yeah I have seen a few different ones. The one I currently have has a light button which as I say has 2 wires and isn't connected to anything at the moment. Yes when switched on, it lights everything up (self check I guess) then after a second or so it always starts in level 1 with the LED lit...
