I have been delighted with the haibike and the Yamaha motor.
I have found over recent years MX Bikes even on legitimate green lanes in the UK are unwelcome where as on a e mtb most people smile and say hi.
I have a holiday home for some 25yrs near Gathouse so know the area pretty well.
The old military road is almost as good as kiroughtree. Not sure with the gates now installed you could get an MX through them.
Lots of fast fire trail roads about your area though there not very challenging.
Ps I did find on my test rides the Yamaha defiantly out performed the Bosch but both have top reputations

How do you find the battery lasts Martin? i was also looking at the cube with the impulse crank drive but with a bigger Battery ive settled for either focus cube Haibike maybe Ktm as they are closest but only two i can try the Ktm and Haibike

You can do 30 miles off road and off road eats the battery you need to switch between medium using hi only occasionally when needed which is rare as it spins the rear wheel.
On road in medium it's about 40 miles plus.
Leisurely ride in low, I have done 50 miles and still about a 1/4 battery left.
In all the above I have never fully ran out of battery power

I don't know much about the cube but if it's of good components like the haibike and Ktm,having either the Yamaha or Bosch motor it will ride the same.
The Haibike at the time just stood out as the best value and I have been delighted with the haibike
