There are much better deals out there than this ....

I just picked the same up, off ebay, from a bike shop (probably has more) .... for £36.00 including packaging !!

Theres £5 postage and packing on top of the £40 above ...

i use the oximiser - simple really - just keeps the battery tip top - have it hung on the garage wall and then have screwed the cables into the battery so i remove my cowl and just plug it in - when the light is green it means its trickle charging - well worth it, but don't bend the plug connectors.

i got mine off ebay, for about £40 all in, but the controller did not work, so i had to send it back

[Dave20046]

Controllers never work!

Got to admit I trust m&p no more than I do ebay, had some nightmares with them.


The charger unit's ok though had one for a couple of years.

[Dave20046]

Decent price on the charger to btw

[mike_avfc]

same price for the charger in George White outlet - just come back from there

The Oxford oximiser is the biggest pile of poo you can buy. I was stupid enough to hae bought two. Both have failed and gone in the bin.

replaced by a proper charger an Optimate. I would advise everyone not to touch this product. You only find out it isn't working when you actually need it

Mines lasted a few years?

Both myself and a mate have an Oxford Oximiser. We got them at the NEC show in 2005 and mine has been used constantly through out each winter. Have not felt the need to upgrade it as it has been flawless in operation.

So these hotgrips not recommended then? If so, is there a comparable set of heated grips that are any good? (i.e. controller doesnt die)

[LK-SV]

OK - only a few days in ....... but I'm loving my heated grips ...

2 Year warranty ..... so I'm ok for that .... whilst I save up for full heated clothing ..... loving the warmth ....... takes me back to comfortable winter days in the heated seats in my TT ...

[Dave20046]

Don't know of any other heated grips providing the controller unit is ok they are fine. Although you do get the worrying sensation that your bikes on fire

My experience with heated clothing (inner gloves) wasn't great tbh. I have klan brand stuff.

[philbut]

I have Gerbing heated gloves. Bloody expensive new but worth every penny. If anything, my hands get TOO hot now, but much better than being cold. Far easier to switch them to a different bike too, which is vital if you own more than one winter bike.

[Dave20046]

Couldn't even feel mine were on also got weird cuts in my hands after wearing. material bobbled after 1st wear.
And I paid £15ish more for the 'higher quality' lycra version.
