1st ebike Cube Hybrid or Haibike Sduro?

[Ed.]

I’m 31 years old, 1.86m (92kg) fairly fit guy, researching to get my first ebike and seem to be drawn to the following 2 options:

Cube Reaction Hybrid EXC 500
Haibike Sduro HardNine 5.0

I plan to use the bike for leisure, riding the local trails nearby 2-3 times per week.

One of my concerns is I read a lot or users complain about some noise issue of Bosh CX Gen 4 engine (Cube). Would this engine outperform the Yamaha PW (Haibike). What would your preference be?

Im not limited to these 2 bikes, so other options are welcome in the price range of £2000-2800

Thanks.

Store bought ebikes are under powered and over priced for what you get in my opinion when you can convert in a few hours.

The difference is most use legal motor power and don't need registering a moped to use on the road also they can be ridden on bike trails etc,etc.

Your illegal one is ok until you hurt someone or have a accident.

It doesn't bother me you choose to go illegal but slagging off legit powered ebikes to say they have no powers is b*ll***s.

Store BOUGHT Are UNDERPOWERED AND OVERPRICED.

What a pathetic statement , your bike is totally illegal and it is no use bleating store bikes are underpowered and overpriced in a childish attempt to justify your actions, you could have chose to buy a legal kit to build your own ebike .
