Introducing my self OliverP.

Hello I am interested in getting some cycling miles done over the next few years PG and a little help from an electric motor will be just the thing to help me discover all the greenways that have sprung up all over this country in the last few years at 66 theres no time to lose. I have a question and it may be a tough one to get answered, I have a pedelec in mind and would like to have the answer B4 going to the shop, Here are my figures,
My Enquiry Is To get the specific measurements required to get a good fit for Male Person which will be riding the bike in an upright a position as possible.

Height 6'1" = 73" = 185cm. or Inside leg 34" = 86cm using whichever measurement, Height or Inside Leg to achieve the best fit to The Cube Kathmandu Hybrid SL 625. If anyone can help. Thanking you in advance OliverP.

I'd say you need a 58cm cube trekking bike.

Hi welcome

I would say you need to try some out

there's a lot of different variables that can make a bike a good or bad fit

Agreed, a new bar or stem saddle can change a bike. Best to try

Thank you KirstinS, I have tried a cube not the one i am intending to get, it was a 54 and the dealer was saying that a 54 was large enough ( The 54 was the largest he had ) but i would have liked a bit more room however I am unsure, Thanks again.

Ignore any size recommendations from the manufacturer, from the dealers and from inputs on here, it's vital that you try out the exact same bike before you buy it.

What might be an ideal size from one manufacturer could be totally wrong from another because their relative geometries differ.

I would say find the frame configuration that suits you, try a number of them. Then convert yourself. A rear hub is simple enough when bought as a complete kit and 6-700 pounds should see you done. You end up with a bike that you know well and can self service/repair (should any be needed) instead of being at the mercy of overinflated proprietry brands. All parts would be generic and replaceable - not so with Bosch etc.
With over 7000 miles of leisure riding I've not found reliability to be any issue at all.
Highly recommended and satisfying route.
