Think it's very much dependent on how much of a 'power' rider you are. In other words, whether you have very strong legs and/or you use the bike more on maximum assist rather than, as I do, err for the lower power modes for increased range. Either way, it's not a must have - chains & cassettes...

Absolutely nothing 'wrong' with it. Cube just happen to be tremendous value. One could (rightly) argue that the welds are fugly but I can live with that for the value. Are you going to be riding on smooth trails at a moderate pace, or hammering it along on some rough trails? The Suntour fork is...

And to add to my post, you may need to ignore my ramblings about the dual drive as a quick Google suggests not all models in all counties came with the dual drive. That advert doesn't specify which model is up for sale (though the colours suggest it's the RX, which may or may not be 27spd )...

It's all a bit of a personal choice with ebikes, so you have to decide what's best for you. Agree with JoePah's comments above about Bosch mid drive though and, if that offer of the Haibike Xduro Trekking is genuinely half-price, I'd snap their hand off it's the right size. Would have been my...

EddieJ is right. You aleady have a protective case that could be replaced if damaged - the CX motor in its 'natural' state shows off its metal case & has no plastic outer casing - Cube chose to fit an outer plastic casing. No idea how much stronger (if any) the KTM one is but it definitely...

Thanks for the reply but I think you missed the point of my question. If you pressed & held the equivalent button on a Panasonic battery it would perform a self-diagnostic & show you the capacity (which is different to the level of charge). Anyhoos, answered my own question now. Tried it when...

I tend to take all high-value accessories (including the Intuvia unit, the removal of which acts as an immobiliser to the electric power) with me. My rack pack contains the lock & cable, which goes on the bike, my tools etc. in bags within a small drawstring bag, neoprene case for the Intuvia...

Strange you should ask. I'll be keen to see what ideas you come up with re vibration alarms. As one of my other passions is motorcycles, I'm are of a few disc locks with loud vibration alarms - of course, they don't HAVE to be mounted to a disc, so I'm scratching my head at the moment re...

Anyone know for sure if the Bosch power packs show capacity when you press & hold the charge indicator button? That's the way the Panasonic batteries used to work &, when I try holding the button on my Bosch 500 pack for a few seconds, the lights go out & then back on. I'm trying this with a...

EasyMotion Rider - Yes, limited to 25kmh (approx 15.5 mph). It's pretty much all you can buy in the U.K. unless you know someone who knows someone (I've heard rumors that KTM will sell you a speed pedelec if you can prove ownership of a large plot of private land). Other than that, you have to...

Hi all. Just joined forum & thought I'd introduce myself. I'm based in U.K. (West Mids) and, after searching for a new hybrid/trekking style ebike, ended up being the very happy owner of a new Cube Reaction Race Hybrid. Odd really as Cube uses the term 'hybrid' to describe all of their ebikes...

Oops, nothing to see here - wrong section - should be in Cube, my bad

P.S: I only know about the cheats because I'm a bit of a keyboard warrior & read about them on the internet. I wouldn't personally recommend any of them as the Bosch software is very clever & may detect something is wrong. For example, the magnet on the crank trick is described on a Youtube...

Love your post, especially this bit: "I don't think you are ever too old, too big or too out of shape to get big benefits from cycling. It will add to your father's quality of life" However, as much as that Whoosh appears absolutely superb value for money, I think it best to point out that...

Don't know where you're based but France is a better place to buy secondhand rather than, say, the U.K. as there are simply more ebikes about. Be careful with buying 2nd hand though. My old Emotion City Deluxe with a Panasonic motor & battery had lost hardly any range after six years but I must...

Which motor do you have? Where are you from? Important as your location may dictate which software your system runs & whether or not the full power of your motor is being unleashed. My bike has a Performance Line CX motor & a 500Wh battery & range at eco mode is 134 miles. This is, however, a...

Changing the front cog will help with the top speed you can comfortably pedal up to without a ridiculously high cadence (at the expense of hill-climbing) but will not help with the motor cutting out at 25 km/hr on a Euro-spec bike, as the speed sensor is on the back wheel. There are ways to...
