Hi all...I'm buying a new bike, I'm not fully committed yet so appreciate any comments. It is a Cube town hybrid one 400 (2019) step through version, Price I'm paying is £1439. I'm buying it from J E James at Rotherham, so no test ride. Anyone got this bike or any opinions on it, any comments much appreciated. thanks…..Mike

I've said it earlier, "wish you were nearer", It's a 450 mile round trip for me. I no longer have a car, a guy near me wants £200 to bring me to collect bike. "Should I take it out the box?" If I was coming to collect I'd want to see it out of the box, as I imagine would anyone, so nothing lost by doing it now.That's another point in favour....only 25 miles away from me.Thanks Steve...I think you're right....'ll try to make arrangements for a test ride..see if the step through suits me. cheers ….Mike"How far's your commute?" I don't have a commute, I've been retired now for some 15 years. and just cycle as an alternative to doing nothing and hopefully extending my life slightly. I'm mostly cycling on my own now, back in the day when I rode a standard mountain bike I occasionally rode with the Wakefield cycle club but sadly the Wakefield club have no time for e riders. and part of me has considered the lightest of a standard bike but I'd hate to spend £1000 plus and find that I couldn't ride it. The only bike shop in my area is Halfords and they have nothing lightweight. I'm thinking my best bet would be the step through version of the Oxygen. I'm pretty sure I could get on with that having the cross bar version but I'd like to be sure I couldn't ride a standard bike first. cheers....MikeHi ….I'm considering buying a GTECH ebike, available at the moment with an extra battery for £995. I'm currently using an Oxygen and in the last 12 months I've notched up 4000 miles, over 20,000 miles in the last 10 years over 9 ebikes…… but at 79 years old I'm not as agile as I once was and it is too heavy for me, I was considering buying the Oxygen step through but that's £1450 and weighs considerably more than the GTECH (16kg)...why does my Oxygen weigh 10 kg more ?. Who's got a GTECH ?..you happy with it ? ...any comments appreciated any advice appreciated.....MikeHi Ryan...I'm in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. ....cheers....MikeI was thinking £700 but it's not looking good.Hi...I'm looking to sell my Oxygen bike, I bought it in August 2016 so it's still under warranty. I am pretty sure John would honour the warranty as I intend buying the step through version of the same bike. (I'm 78 and feel I would be safer on a step through) It is in excellent condition...a few surface marks from when it's locked up on my daily newspaper collection. It's done 3670 miles and runs great, I'd gladly swap it for the ST version of the same bike ...Anyone like to make me an offer ? I live in Wakefield .....Perhaps Flecc would be kind enough to value it for me. ...cheers....MikeThanks flecc...much appreciated. I'll tell him and he'll make of it what he will. cheers....MikeHi....merry Christmas everyone. My Son in law has bought an electric scooter for my 11 year old grandson. I was of the impression that these were illegal but my wife says not, "Argos" and "Toys are Us" "wouldn't sell them if they were illegal" I started saying that "Its not illegal to sell them, just to use them on public roads" but I sensed an argument coming so I shut up. I don't want to see my son in law walk into trouble so I thought I'd get my facts right. What does the law say ? thanks and all the best for Christmas. ...Mike
