I have two of them.......what do you need to know???

Build Quality, Speed, Range etc.
Presumably, if you have two then you would recommend them?
I'm 6'4" and 18st so I need a good, solid Bike.
I have a Cube 29'er at the minute and love it so a Cube Electric seems the logical way to go, although I also like the looks and reviews of the HaiBike Trekking....

I think both Cube and HaiBike would be fine. I've done 380 miles on my Acid one allroad since I bought it last November. I've been smiling all the way (except when I had a puncture). My experience of ebikes is limited but the Bosch Active Line Plus crank drive feels really good. It provides great assistance and is powerful enough for all the hills I have hit while being silent most of the time. There also isn't noticeable resistance when pedalling without motor assistance. I now romp up a couple of hills using turbo that I used to walk up.

The surprise to me is that 29er wheels feel good and really do seem to roll better than 26". Going back to the puncture I found my nylon tyre levers weren't up to the job, they both snapped trying to remove the tyre, so I have had to buy some metal ones.

They are German so build quality is excellents
Speed - however fast you can pedal it after the 15.5mph cut off limit....although it does fade out slowly at around 16mph rather than just stop
Range - I have 50mm Schwalbe thunderburts tubeless on mine, I have got 47miles and 3000ft of climbing from it and still had 2 bars of battery left
I’m 43, 18st 9lbs and 5ft 10”......so I’m not a little fledgling

Yes I would recommend the bike for your use without hesitation

Sounds promising then.
Torn now between the Cube and the HaiBike.....
