Here she is.

 

I've just bought one of these, hopefully it'll arrive before the weekend.

 

I already ride a Kalkhoff Endeavour, but I'm starting to ride some routes which are not road bike friendly. Very much looking forward to riding the Oxygen.

You may want to keep a track of your miles covered manually as the odometer on mine has zeroed twice now.

Can you guys with the oxygen MTB confirm that the left hard rear break lever does have a working micro switch which turns off assist. My right hand front break does this and you can actually hear the click. Swapping the wires over left to right on cut offs same fault front still cuts off assist rear does not so wires to controller ok.

Can you write the last sentence again with proper grammar? It doesn't make any sense, so I can't help you.

Sorry last sentence was rushed as had the other half nagging at me to take my daughter to brownies.

Swapping the cables over from left hand lever to right hand lever didn't move fault. The right front break level still cut off power the left rear break lever still did nothing. Not sure if the bike has been like this since I got it or if micro switch has failed.

I think if you look carefully, only one brake lever has a sensor in it. That's how it's designed. You only need one brake switch.

So why does controlled have two inputs and wires going to both levers.

Is it so if it went to Europe where the break levels are reversed the micro switch can be fitted to the left so it's still only on front break.

On mine both brakes cut the throttle.

Collected my Oxygen MTB on Monday night from Absolute Bikes and had a cracking first ride on it last night (was tipping it down Monday night..)

 

I'll have to check my brake levers later and report back. I think both levers cut the power..but there's definitely a cut-out wire coming from both.

 

Can I ask what kickstands people have fitted to these bikes..? Ricoghardforth's stand in his photo looks pretty sturdy. I like the look of the Pletchsher double stand where both legs park to the side under the chainstay..neat solution. Anybody use one of these and is it likely to fit the Oxy MTB..?

Looking at racks, I notice Pete666 has fitted a 'normal' rack but as there's no threaded lugs on the rear frame drop-outs how did you fit that Pete ? Can you post some close-up photos of your fixing points please. Also which make of rack is that and is it a disc brake specific model..?

I'll post some of my own photos once I've made some changes and observations on the bike after a few more rides.

That's the stand that comes with the bike

Interesting...did you ask for the stand to be fitted or is it standard kit on all Oxygen MTB's..?

If so I need to ask Absolute bikes where mine is..

I assume it comes as standard mate, mine was all attached

Cheers Ronny. Just got off the phone to Oxygen to check and spoke to the owner John, who said some bikes arrived without the stands so he's going to courier me one out today. Top bloke !

Ric, Where did you get the rack and bag? How much?

Thxs.

Phil, Mine came from the dealer (Oxygen) complete with stand - and it is very necessary. Closeups of my rack set up attached, let me know if you need more - note the rack was also fitted by the dealer for free!. The bags are from Lidl - not great but cheap. I only have front brake cut out - no wires from back brake lever.

I love the look of these..on a shortlist for next bike. can anyone advise how the 19" frame would be for fairly tall person..6'1" and 33" instep. Also are the forks and the rear hub motor suitable for light to moderate off roading. I can do trails on my cyclotricity revolver but possibly fancy something that will handle slightly harder going.One more question can the speed level be altered both up and down ?

Elec: I'm 6', 33 inside leg, I think all E-Mates are 27.5 wheels. The bike does feel big to me but probably because my previous was too small. Plenty of adjustment on the saddle post. The forks seem fine for off-roading and they have a lockout facility. In fact it just glides over medium rough stuff. The C of G is slightly high but you soon get used to a slightly different style of riding. The hub motor combined with the 27 gears and thumb throttle offer an infinite number of power variations and with the power off, on the flat or shallow gradients, it's a regular MTB. With a good bit of power on (say setting 4 out of the 6 settings) and rough going you have to concentrate and ride it or it will get ahead of you but the brakes are excellent and it makes for some exhilarating riding. Yes max speed is adjustable + and -.

The motor maxes out at about 26 mph. 24 mph is a realistic on the road speed. You can set it to any speed up to and beyond that, but, obviously, if you set it beyond that, you won't get the set speed.

Thanks for the info guys...it does sound the business. Not looking for high speed particularly but I like to cruise my revolver at 18 mph when conditions suit.My local dealer (Linlithgow) doesn't have one in stock but offered me a short test on the full suspension batribike storm. Was really comfy to ride with 21" frame and full suspension. A slightly larger battery would maybe have sucked me in.

Ric, Where did you get the rack and bag? How much?

Thxs.

Topeak mtx beam rack with mtx DPM truck bag with additional side frame and mudgaurd £53 for the bag Amazon. £31 rack +£17 for side frames chain. Reaction cycles. £4 mudgard evans. Not cheap I know but I got the bag and a cheaper compatible rack for £19 but it wouldn't fit so had to go with the beam rack. It does make it really easy to drop off the rack at weekends when I don't want it though.

Hi Pete.

 

Thanks for your reply and photos. I've only just seen them and not sure why I didn't get an email alert as I am watching this thread...

Anyway John from Oxygen sent me a stand as mine should have come with one too, and it is an essential bit of kit as you say.

Good of Oxygen to throw in the rack for you, and good to see a normal one should fit. On closer inspection of the rear dropouts, the holes are indeed threaded to mount a rack so I've ordered a Topeak Tourist DX rack that should fit ok hopefully. I like that Ric's solution is easy to remove from the bike but prefer the security of a traditional rack and the extra weight it allows. Hopefully it'll fit over the Beavertail xl rear guard..

That's a nice MTX trunk bag Ric..have you used it fully loaded, panniers and all...and how does the bike ride with it on..?

I ordered the Topeak Tourist DX but the F/Disc version and couldn't get the bottom larger square stand off connection points to locate on any of the threaded mounting holes so sent it back and got the seat post mounted beam rack instead.

Hopefully your getting the standard one and will have more luck.

I've only had it filled up once with both side panniers dropped down with the side frames fitted but it really wasn't a heavy load just bulky so it didn't effect handling that much.

Usually I just use it as a trunk bag and manage to squeeze every thing for my commute with the side panniers folded up. I actually removed the side frames and keep them at work just in case I need to drop the panniers down and take some larger items home.

Thanks Ric but I've ordered the standard version (with the spring) as I've already got the disc version of the rack on my Ezee conversion and having measured the width between the Oxygen's mounting points I realised I didn't need the extra clearance of those wide stand-offs, They also make the rack look too wide from behind as well imo...

Hmm...I'm tempted by the bag but will sleep on it..

Slept on it...bought it..and the rain cover..
