Woosh don't do the 85SX any more, so looking at the XF08 now. A kilo heavier but a bit more powerful

Fair point, I do the same. I can’t say it’s something I’ve noticed on my Mahle bike, which has a basic speed sensor in the cassette, but good programming. My guess is it’s because the cassette is spinning slower than the wheel so it knows you don’t need assist.

They look ideal thanks. I like the idea that I can go just pedal assist, and save money on the throttle which I don’t need and hence also the hydraulic brake sensors.

Thanks @Peter.Bridge I'll have a look

It does to me.

Pretty steep on the way home, 1 mile averaging 5% and going up to 10%. Really don't want a front hub

Bike has Shimano Altus 3x8 gears and Tektro M275 hydraulic disc brakes

Hi, I've got a couple of ebikes and started to think that neither of them are ideal for my commute. The e-road bike doesn't have lugs for mudguards or rack so I've got clip on Raceblades and a seatpost rack (though I use a backpack). The Bosch engined eMTB is overkill and the tarmac will wear...

I use the Raceblade Pro XLs on my e-road bike, as it doesn't have lugs. They are really good but a little bit short. The front one only covers behind the front fork so at speed you get the spray back mentioned above. The rear one only covers behind the rear fork so the bottom bracket area and...

If it's completely flat the weight of the bike is more or less irrelevant to how fast it can go, that's just physics. But very few places are completely flat so add in a slight uphill and the weight starts to have an effect. For resistance I assume you mean motor drag? When the bike's on a...

I bought the Gain to gain fitness with a view to ultimately getting a non electric road bike. The Cube is more of a fun toy as the Gain has limitations off road. It's not terrible if I fit the 35mm gravel tyres, but it's no MTB.

Absolutely. On the flat unless there's a strong headwind I'll be spending most of the time over the cutoff speed. I did a 60 mile flattish ride and only used 22% as I realised I was doing this and turned the assist off for most of the ride. Conversely a couple of hilly 30-35 mile rides used 75%

Hi all, I joined this forum a few months ago but not posted until today. Just turned 54 and now have 2 (very different) ebikes, an Orbea Gain D40 and a Cube Reaction Race 625. They're both fantastic in different ways. Up until November I just had a normal hybrid bike for commuting and although...
