Hi, I'm considering buying an extra battery for my ebike to extend my range. Current battery is 500w. Is there anywhere reputable that sells used Bosch batteries or is my only option to buy a new one? There are loads on Ebay but you never know what you're getting. Thanks

Thanks for the response.

Hi, I have no experience with electrics so wondered if anybody on here could advise. Would this be any use for topping up a bike battery? Thanks...

Found this whilst researching the issue. Might be useful for anybody heading to Cumbria with their ebike. https://www.visitlakedistrict.com/explore/travel/electric-bike-charging-points-in-the-lake-district-cumbria

I have a 4 Amp charger so an hour's charge would give me a good few miles. Yesterday's worry was partly down to poor route planning. I hadn't really factored in how much assistance I'd need for some of the hills. Live and learn.

Hi. I came very close to draining my battery today - 56 miles on some fairly steep Cumbrian roads. I was cursing myself for not bringing my charger but then I wondered if I'd have been able to find a cafe/pub willing to charge my battery for an hour while I ate and drank. What are other...

This might be a daft question but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere...if I put a single bike on a two bike tow bar mounted bike carrier do I have to put it on the rails nearest the car/van or can I put it one the outer ones? The handlebars on my bike are quite wide and I don't want to...

I bought a turbo trainer for my non electric bike at the start of lockdown. I now only ride it indoors.

Following.

Hope you enjoy the bike. I love mine!

I've got the same bike and the rack you've posted a link to looks like the right one. I bought the rack at the same time as the bike and had it fitted in the shop. The guy fitting it said it's really tricky but he did a good job and it's rock solid. There are no obvious fitting points on the...

Aagh - too much to think about. I'll take it back to the shop!

Thanks. I'll have a closer look at them.

I took my Cube Cross hybrid for a ride yesterday and it seems to have developed a clunky rattle which I think is coming from the front wheel. I can only hear it at speed, it continues when I freewheel and I can't seem to recreate it by just spinning the wheel. I thought the mudguard was...

Added my ebike to our Legal and General house insurance for about £30 per year. Covered at home and when locked with a gold standard lock away from home.

I took my ebike into town for the first time last week. Plenty of potential places to lock it so I chose one right next to a café's outdoor seating where plenty of people could see it. I have a gold rated d lock - insurance company insists on it - didn't remove battery. I must admit I was a...

I recently bought my first ebike - a Cube with a 500w battery. I've used it a few times for small commutes but my main usage is for long rides of 30+ miles. If I know I'm going out for less than about 20 miles I don't bother to top up the battery (unless it's really low) but, if I might be...

I don't know where in West Cumbria you are but Cyclewise were very helpful when I was deciding which bike to buy. They're in Cockermouth and at Whinlatter.

Just been out for my first ride on my new bike. I picked it up last week but have had to wait to try it out. It's a Cube Cross Hybrid Exc 500 Allroad and it's great! Did 20 miles over varied terrain - a couple of steepish, short hills included - and really enjoyed it. Can't wait for my next...

Thanks for the info. I wanted the Touring Hybrid One in a 46T frame and it's not available until June. I upped my budget and put a deposit on a Cross Hybrid Exc Allroad 500 at my LBS. No discount but £200 worth of accessories and 3 years free servicing.
