Just had my bike delivered with a few faults. Some paint flaws, couple of deep marks Seat broken. The metal tube under the seat has become dislodged. I can’t put it back in. The left pedal crank arm has no thread for the pedal. The left brake lever was wrapped around the frame and then the...

Thanks guys. Bike ordered, will be here in a few days. Will report back when I’ve had some time with it. Cube Nuride

Thanks again Stefan! Those of you that already have the bikes you want are so lucky. It’s nearly impossible to buy anything now - one dealer told me yesterday that everything was back ordered and delivery would be in May / June next year. I’ll keep looking.

So what sort of gearing should I look for ideally?

Thanks, what about the gen3 motors with 65nm? Would they cope? Bikes like the Reaction Hybrid Performance 500 for example.

Looking at a Nuride Hybrid Pro 500 or Reaction Hybrid pro 500 as the most expensive choices. There are others that are similar with the older gen 3 motors that are a few hundred less.. Hello again Stefan!

After a lot of consideration I’ve decided that I’ll get a Cube but the lack of test drives available in the UK because of the virus, it means that I’ll effectively be buying blind without even riding or trying the bike. I don’t ride a lot, maybe a couple of times a week and usually no more than...

But if I mess with it, won’t I lose the warranty? would anyone know if I put it all back the way it was?

Thanks man, getting clearer now..

Thanks, that does make sense. I’m just wondering if I may be better off just getting her a decent hub drive bike instead. Just need to find one with 20” wheels and a torque sensor..

We may be talking at cross purposes here. I was talking about the assistance levels that the motor offered to riders. The Bosch motor offer anywhere from 35% to 300% of what the user inputs but from the page in the link, it looks like the Bafang only goes from 32% to 100% of what the rider puts...

Thanks, it does have a combination of sensors and I assumed that the motor would be ready-programmed to emulate the market leaders! I’m not too happy trying to hack the thing, especially after I paid £1700 for it a few days ago. I just don’t understand why they thought 100% max assistance was...

No worries Stefan!

Thanks Stefan but I was trying to compare the Bafang MID drive with the Yamaha and Bosch mid drive motors. I found a page (see link below) that says that the Bafang is only capable of 100% assistance at level 5, the max level. So it simply matches the user input so doubles his power. Both the...

Just had this bike delivered for my wife and the Bafang mid drive motor seems to be giving a max of 100% assist. This is pretty poor when compared to the Yamaha and Bosch motors which both give 250 to 320% assist. Does anyone have any experience of this model?

Hi all, After some considerable searching, we finally settled on a bike for my wife. She wanted a stepthrough, foldable with 20” wheels with a Bosch motor. I couldn’t find anything with the Bosch but I did find a NCM Paris Max with a Bafang Max so I ordered it. The bike arrived today and it...

Thanks, lot to take in here. I hope to try a few of these bike soon but no one has them around here at the moment. Guess I’ll have to wait for a bit!

Thanks, I’ve seen the review on YT - I think it’s for an older model but still good!

Ok, some update here. Ive narrowed it down to the Trekking 4 or the Cube reaction hybrid pro 500. I know that the Haibike has all the mudguards, lights and rack installed and I’m going to have to install some of that separately but how do the bikes stack up against each other? Some on also said...

Yes, I found all of those and Bikester are the only ones to have the 48cm but I’m not sure if they have a UK warranty as they’re in Germany.
