I totally understand your concerns about risking the freedoms we currently enjoy with e-bikes. But here's the thing, why do we automatically assume that refining laws and adjusting speed limits would pose a risk? It's not about creating restrictions but rather adapting to how the e-bike scene...

Hey fellow riders and e-bike enthusiasts! 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️ As we all cruise through the ever-evolving landscape of e-biking, there's one topic that keeps popping up in our chats: the motor assistance speed limit. It's a hot topic, with opinions as varied as our bike trails. So, I thought, why not put...

There is huge difference between average and cruising speeds on flat terrains. On My derestricted bikes on 20 miles loops - my typical average speed was just 12 mph based on my Strava history stats. And also that's the freedom of ebikes. You can increase or decrease assisted power, speed, you...

Quick check-in before we dive deeper into this debate: Are you currently an e-bike rider, or do you stick to traditional bikes? I'm asking because it often feels like there's a bit of a disconnect in these discussions between those who've felt the e-bike vibe and those who might not have had...

Oh, I wasn't aware of the previous petition. Thanks for bringing that up! But hey, think about how much has changed in just four years. The e-bike market has exploded, with more folks hopping on e-bikes than ever before. And with that growth comes a deeper understanding of what works and what...

Haha, that's a fun way to put it! 🚗💨 You're spot on. Imagine if cars were restricted like that—Ferraris and Puntos could go 60 mph, but Tesla is capped at 45 mph just because they're electric, while their petrol pals zoom by at 60 mph. Talk about a double standard, right? Everyone in their...

Man, you're speaking my language! I totally get where you're coming from, especially about the whole eMTB scene and how it fits (or doesn't fit) into this speed limit convo. And yep, I've got a game plan that's pretty much in line with what you're suggesting. First off, I'm aiming to rally the...

You've hit the nail on the head! It's wild how some folks can see everything in just black and white, especially when it comes to e-bikes and speed limits. It's like, life's way more colorful than that, right? 😄 It's easy to shout "20mph or bust!" from the rooftops or dig your heels in on the...

PS. I love my black motorbike too, so I've got some methods of reaching speeds above 20mph :)

6120 - and yes I can clearly feel the difference. I don't know if it's caliper itself, or brake pads, or worse disks... Overall breaking power is much worse and much more squishy feeling in comparison. Full spec: Spec of old one: CUBE PRODUCT ARCHIVE | Stereo Hybrid 140 SL 500 27.5...

Nice one! I will think how to write a nice section about it on initiative website and try to publish something tomorrow!

Hey, I totally get where you're coming from, and just to set the record straight—I'm not saying the current 25kph limit is a danger zone, nor am I dissing manual bikes for being speed demons in their own right. What's really bugging me is how this one-size-fits-all speed cap on e-bikes is kinda...

I've got initially: Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 SL 500 2019 Sold after few thousands miles and replace with: Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC 750 SLX 27.5 2023 - Carbon/Reflex I like the frame and bigger suspension travel and the most importantly: Bosh Gen4 engine. I'm only disappointed for brakes old...

That's the main reason why people in Europe trying to go around by: chip bikes (illegally unlock) build own using Chinese, cheap kits choosing non-branded bikes without any limits, certificates or safety It's hard to blame others, as current limit is set too low. You can speed easily up to...

Hi everyone, I'm Paulina, a 30+ enthusiast of all things adrenaline, with a particular fondness for eMTB and motorcycles. For me, these aren't just hobbies; they're my go-to antidepressants and exercise motivators. There's nothing quite like the thrill of speeding down trails, the wind in my...

Love Cube Stereo for years! Current Upgraded from:
