Glad I found this review, thanks Geoff. I am in the process of finding my first Ebike, and this Cube seems to tick all my box's, I notice that the 2016 model has the 500watt Battery, is the Bosch motor the 60nm model?. My pedal bike is fitted with a Rohloff SpeedHub, and my plan is to either...

Have been considering the "Cube Cross Hybrid Race Allroad 500" can be bought in the UK for around £2k and features the Bosch CX 250watt 75nm motor, and has the 500watt battery. We have a few steep roads around here, which I can just about climb with my Rohloff Bike, but hoping an Ebike will...

Yep, need to do some home work on the gearing when using the Rohloff. Back looking at bikes again, the Ghost Andasol 6 Man, seems to have a decent motor at 60nm, and with 28" wheel seems a good compromise, all for £1,680 from MHWBike. Nearly all the contenders that I have looked at from MHWBike...

Yep something else to look out for, not sure that I would want a 29er friend has a MTB that has them, and it does look a bit ungainly to me. Also just noticed on all the Ebikes that I have been looking at none are 26" Tyre size (Rim 559) all are bigger 27.7" and 28" etc, is this the norm, not...

Hi RobF, this has all been a bit of a steep learning curve, but I am making progress now, the "Cube Cross Hybrid Race All Road 500" is looking like the main contender at the moment, shame that I would have to put the Rohloff on it, but I just can't be doing with Derailure gearing. Again a lot...

Hi RobF, am right in thinking that the Bosch 250watt Performance CX 75nm is not available until 2016, and could explain why the Ghost Teru 4 is stated as 60nm and advertised as not available. I am guessing that the Ghost Teru 4 comes with the Bosch Performance Cruise in it's advertised state so...

Thanks again RobF, all is clear now and I have printed of the Bosch motor page, which gives all the outputs, I see what you mean about them aiming certain motors at Hubs and others at Deraileure's. It all kinda make sense, especially when you look at the spec for the Speed motor, which has less...

Thanks RobF, I take your comments on board as I am new to all this Ebike stuff, I have been looking at the Ghost Andasol 5 which ticks most of my box's especially at £1500 from MHWBike inc delivery to UK from Germany! But, and it could be a big but, the Bosch 250watt motor is 48nm, whilst on...

I have not yet got around to buying an Ebike, but have self built two Rohloff pedal bikes OEM type, first one back in 2004 when the Rohloff SpeedHub was only £450. Although the Rohloff SpeedHub is a superb piece of kit, I would argue that the Nuvinci 360 Hub is better suited to an Ebike as a...

Hi RobF. Just had another look at MHWBIKE from your link, what a range, of Ebikes they have, I have seen a nice 250watt (25kmph) Pedelec on there, BOSCH Crank Drive using the Nuvinci Hub. Amazing that MHWBIKE can offer free shipping to the UK from Germany on bikes, will be looking...

Yep, I guessed that it was just the Spline that was isis, on both my pedal bikes I have isis BB, bought when the bearing maker SKF was doing them, at the time they were the best on the market, with radical bearing design an 10 year warranty! Needles to say in over 15 years never had an issue...

Thank's for the link RobF nice bike that and I definitely want to go for the Bosch Crank Drive, I the the fact that it uses isis fitting. Would not get a bike with Derailure, a bit to last century for me, got the Rohloff Hub new back in 2004 £450 then, and it runs sweeter now than it has ever...

Yep, I will be wanting to keep legal, so if in 2017 "S" Pedelec does not become legal in UK like they are in Germany, I will either stick with my Rohloff equipped bike, or add a UK legal Pedelec to the stable. My intention is to buy a Kalkhoff Integrale S11 ("S" Pedelec) if they become legal or...

Thanks for the info, I guessed the UK might be able to veto any decision on "S" Pedelecs, come 2017. I do hope commense prevails, as making "S" Pedelecs legal in the UK will give a major boost to cycle shops, and get folk like me commuting to work on a "S" Pedelec instead of using the car, as...

Hi I am new to this forum, so have not read that much, but I am thinking of getting a Pedelec to do the 16 mile commute to work in Manchester. I would rather go for an "S" Pedelec, as it is road all the way into town and back. Having read that "S" Pedelecs could become legal to use in the UK...
