Yep, well that settles it, the Rohloff will be staying on my Ti Hybrid pedal only bike, I do love that bike, and it has taken me from Manchester to Scotland and back a few times, it's got skinny 1.3" Tyres but goes like stink, until I come to a steep hill! So now the "Cube SUV Hybrid Pro 27.5"...

Thanks for the feedback folks, the more I think about it, the more I am leaning to going for a stock Ebike of the shelf, say a Hybrid type that is running the Alfine IGH. My only concern is that my main reason for getting an Ebike, is to make going up some of the steep roads around here a lot...

Thanks for that show report greyfox69, did you notice any Hybrid type ebikes running the Bosch CX Motor with Rohloff Speedhub gearing. As the market does not seem to offer such a machine, I am currently contemplating buying a Cube bike with the Bosch CX Motor, and doing a retro Rohloff Speedhub...

Well I am new to all this Ebike stuff, and currently doing my research before buying my first Ebike. It would be good to always have a full battery, good to go, so to speak, but this does seem an expensive addition to the cost of a new Ebike. £700 does seem a bit steep for a battery, but to be...

As much as I like the Belt concept, it is quite limiting, firstly the Rear Chain Stay, has to be able to Split, also if you want to have a play at changing the Rear Sprocket for a different size, you could have a challenge on your hands, finding a different size Belt if needed. But if your not...

Yep, that new Bosch Performance CX 250watt 75nm Motor does seem the business, if that's the one the OP mentions. As for IGH, that could be an issue with such a high Torque Motor, the IGH of choice for most of the Crank Drive Ebike makers seems to be the Shimano Alfine 11, which the CX Motor...

Well there is nothing to say that I won't change my mind, also my Brother lives in Germany, which is another factor. As for the £ to € yes we spent 3 weeks in France during July, and was getting 1.41€ to the £, which was the best it has been for a good number of years, and has only fell back...

Yep, not a problem for me either, it's just a case of reading between the lines.

Well the answer to that has to be no, but I am trying my best to make an informed purchase, for when I get my first Ebike. Having only been on this forum for a short time, I can only say a big thanks to members on here guiding me in the right direction, although some members do have a...

Hi Shrubser, like you I am new to this forum, and looking for my first Ebike, for fast commute to work and back, I decided that the "S" Pedelec with assist 45kmph was the solution, but although legal in Germany and Netherlands, there is no class for them in the UK as yet, which is mental to say...

No problem, my order will be going in January 2016, there's a clue, not sure you're friends website is correct regards my choice of Ebike. Although it is amazing that I can have a 250 watt CX 75nm Bosch equipped bike, shipped in from Germany, for less wonga than what UK dealers are asking. But...

Yep, thanks for the info, I now know were I am heading, of the shelf Ebike with Bosch 250watt CX 75nm Motor, Deraillure Geared, rip out the Derraillure and add the Rohloff with Chain Tensioner, job done simples. Looks like I will buying the "Cube Cross Hybrid Race Allroad 500" it seems the best...

That's odd, according to the Bosch website there are 5 variants of the 250watt Motor. All with various Torque outputs, why don't they just simply do the one motor with the max 75nm Torque spec, it seems plain daft to me to have so many variants. The Bosch Motor that R&M use for there Rohloff...

Thanks KTM, the bike in the image from Artstu, does feature a KTM with Yamaha Motor and it was that that I was referring to. Good to know that KTM are using the Bosch Motor. Is there any reason why that Nuvinci 360 KTM is not paired with the Bosch 75nm CX Motor, the Nuvinci like the Rohloff...

Had a look at the R&M website, and they are now using the Bosch 75nm CX Motor, which I thought would now be the case, as the Rohloff is good for 100nm Torque. I like the look of the KTM, very clean lines, but can't bring myself to buy a bike that still uses Square Taper for the Cranks, what...

Croxden, just out of interest which Motor does your R&M Rohloff have, is it the it the 50nm or 60nm model, I guess the 75nm version was not around when you got the bike. Also what size Rear Sprocket is being used, and is the Motor Sprocket std size, not found out what Bosch use yet, but I guess...

Apologies for my sledge hammer humour, of course being a rider who only has bicycles that use IGH systems, I am slightly biased and maybe twisted even. Nice looking bike the R&M Rohloff, but even they look like they don't know what they are doing, as there is no need to use a Chain Tensioner...

Oh dear, I have ventured into the world of the ill informed, my Rohloff bike has Disc Brakes, and uses Sliding Drop-Out's for Chain Tension, which is Rohloff's preferred solution compared to using an Eccentric Bottom Bracket, which of course could not be possible with a Crank Drive Ebike. The...

Well I am new to all this Ebike stuff, just had a look at the Kudos Eiger Nuvinci, but again it's using a Chain Tentioner, how hard is it to come up with a Hub Specific Frame, all that is required is Sliding Drop-Out's I really do despair. I guess it will be the case for me building my own...

Might just go to the show, as I am looking for my first Ebike, although I am starting to get a little disaloutioned, I feel in this modern age that the Derailure drive train should be left to the history books. For Crank Drive Bikes, I am thinking Bosch and Yamaha, Hub Gear should be the way...
