I have a Cube with the 400wh battery. I'm not very fit, but I'm getting better. I live in Sheffield which is built on 7 hills like Rome. I havnt had a single problem with my Cube and the more I ride it the less battery assist I use. I would definitly get the 500wh battery for the distances you...

Hi Phil, I have a similar bike and done a little bit less mileage in the same time. My initial problems were punctures which I've sorted with puncture resitant tires and slime. I've also lost two stones in weight and gone down 2 trouser sizes around my waist. I have noticed I use far less...

Hi Jim, I live in Sheffield and we have wonderful access to the Trans Pennine Trail. The TPT is just 30 seconds from my house. I have a Cube Cross Pro Hybrid ebike and have to say it's very good. I have changed the original tyres as I needed something more puncture resistant. The Bosch CX motor...

Hi, Guys and Gals, I've had an annoying ticking sound from the front wheel of my bike which has hydraulic disc brakes, for ages. I'm not that experienced in cycling but dont want to go back to the dealer. So my first thought was the pads were worn, and I fitted new ones, same problem. Then I...

I'm going to throw in a curved ball here. I maybe or may not be correct and this is made on my experience with working with battery technology. If a manufacturer wanted to give a battery maximum life then the obvious way would be to let the BMS charge the battery to 80% only. What I'm saying...

I had my bike of the floor in my maintenance stand this week nd to change the rear tyre for something more grippy off road. I ended up removing the chain which is fairly new and gave it a good clean and lube. With the chain off there is zero resistance when pedaling with the motor off or on. I...

Hi Mike, I had 3 punctures in a week on my way to work, which was making me dread using my bike. I changed the standard Scwalbe Smart Sam's to these: Schwalbe Marathon GT 365 DualGuard E-50 FourSeason Performance Wired Hybrid and filled the tubes with Slime. I haven't had a puncture since. I did...

I've done it tonight and cut exactly 40mm off each bar end. I might not get a chance to ride it until Saturday now, but it seems to be the right way to go for me.

Thanks, noted, my mountain bikes are 760 mm and they seem way too wide also. I’ll do my ebike first and see how I get on.

I'm going to have to live with the frame size I think. I went in to my garage tonight and found my pipe cutting tool which does 15 to 30 mm copper. My bars are 680 mm wide so I'm going to take 40 mm of each end, assuming I can get all the levers on before the bar tube diameter gets thicker...

Thank you Neal, thats a lot of info to digest. I'll start by downloading the manuals and having a good read. Cheers

Hi Nealh, Trails and tracks in the woods, I was definitely going for crank drive like my Cube. Nothing extreme like crazy downhill, jut fun in the mud off road. Thanks for the reply.

Can’t you drop the back seats and remove the front wheel? Then just pop it in laid flat

Hi Soundwave, Cutting down the bars is on my todo list. I'm not too high on the bike, its when I get off the seat my massive balls are nearly touching the crossbar. :p:p:p. If I have to manouvre it can get a bit tricky off the saddle. It's not a big deal, but wished I'd not listened to the...

Thanks both of you, much as I suspected. I think I will have to live with it then. It's not that big an issue, just tricky negotiating the anti motorcycle gates on the TPT. The gates I mean come up at 1 min 20 in the video

Hi Gringo, I have a Saris Bones 2 for my Ebike that weighs 22Kg. The Bones can take the weight but I always put a microfibre cloth under the pad that sits on the boot lid as any movement could scratch the paint work. I also clean the boot and bumper before fitting it on. I havnt been pulled yet...

Hi, I bought a mountain bike a few months ago and have been thinking about converting it to an Ebike. I've never done this before, but I'm a qualified Professional Electrical Engineer, I also know my way around electronics and battery technology. I also have a reasonable tool kit, but not...

Hi Guys and Gals, My Cube Hybrid Pro is a little but big for me in the frame. It's a 29er. Am I correct in thinking changing the wheel size might just give me the inch less I need? Is this viable and or expensive?

Must be my age :(

I went to use my track pump today and I'm sure you all know what the parts are now. Doesnt taske long to realise theyre missing as it bloody kills your hands.
