Thanks everyone, I don't use the bike in bad weather, just prep it for 'winter' and leave in the shed till Spring, battery in the house. I'll give the chain/RD & sprockets a good clean and wax this weekend.

Thanks for the replies guys, I've got some sticky motorcycle chain wax lube I might try if no further ideas.

Before the really bad weather arrives I’m considering what to do with the bike over winter particularly with regard to the chain. In the past I’ve done a complete clean/maintenance job on the bike but on the odd occasion come Spring I noticed the chain had some tight links, usually from around the derailleur jockey wheels. After freeing them off and on a ride out, on one occasion, the chain snapped. Could this be a coincidence? Would you recommend removing the chain and soaking it in a container of chain oil through winter, for the cost a new quick-link?

Solved Following on from the above posts I have finally managed to install the half-twist throttle to the Oxygen MTB. As per saneagle's suggestion I cut-off the 3 pin female connector from the half-twist and tested for 5v, ground and signal wires with a 3 AA battery box power supply. Not wanting to damage the plug on the original throttle cable I disconnected it and left it on the handlebars as a ‘back-up’! Then checked the pins on the Julet connector on the bike. Ordered a new Julet female connector/cable from Amazon, shortened it, bared the wires, connected them with some clips to those on the half twist, plugged it in the bike (on bike stand) and tested many times, Sorted. Disconnected the clips, slid on some shrink-wrap tubes, soldered the cables and shrunk the wrap. For anyone else who might consider fitting one, these are the wire to wire colours:- HALF TWIST THROTTLE to JULET CABLE Purple connects to White Grey connects to Black Black connects to Red

Many thanks - again.

Without cutting the wires, does anyone know which of the pin holes in the throttle female connector is the +5 volts and the negative relative to the notch in the yellow plug? How do I use a multi-meter to check this please.

Thanks for that saneagle. That could be my mistake, I thought it meant the location of the pins relative to the notch in the yellow plastic not the +, -, signal wires, bad assumption by me that all Julet connectors are wired the same. Looks like a cut and solder job then, thanks.

To help my aging thumb I decided to swap the existing thumb throttle on my Oxygen MTB to a Half Twist version. Installtiion was easy, simply removed hand grip and fitted the new throttle, disconnected the original throttle connector (a Julet version) and connected the new one, also a Julet fitting. Switched the controller on , rotated the Half Twist - nothing... double checked all the connectors and that the new one wasn't being nipped against gear lever clamp etc. This is version I bought... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/354733826595 Any sugestions as to what could be wrong would be gratefully received. TIA

Hi All Has anyone got/had or tested one of the above bikes? I'm looking for opinions, reviews do's and don't's before I contact them. I understand the above model comes with the motor set at 250W, I'm not looking for any more to keep within the UK regs. I've read so many conflicting reviews on some of their other models which tells me I should give them a wide berth, but I feel I need a smaller framed Full Suspension bike with a throttle. My Oxygen MTB is beginning to feel too big for me despite changing the handlebars, stem and fitting an NCX seatpost and because of my health issues - COPD. TIA

I think it would help (others in particular) if you were to name the bikes you mentioned in your original post. Otherwise it's reads like a rant without substance, despite all the highly respected responses from some other ebike owners. Name and shame, or praise with pride.

I had a similar problem some time ago. ended up buying the longer ones and cutting them in the middle, shortening to required length and re-soldered each wire with shrink wrap over each, then a larger shrink wrap over the whole cable. Other, cheaper option is to loop the excess cable and tie-wrap it to the bars or another part of the frame.

Is this what you're after... BATTERY They're Oxygen stockists
