Buying advice : E-MTB Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPA Race 500 27,5 (2016!)

[PeterP]

Dear all,

I am new to the forums and I've just introduced myself here:

Hi from the Netherlands

Hi all! Today I've created an account on the forums. While on holiday last year my partner and I started to explore mountainbiking. As we normally live on flatland (Welcome to the Netherlands), we are not used to peddel into mountain areas and therefor got 2 E-MTB rentals. We were in love...

I am looking for an E-MTB Fully, currently for a second handed on the market because budget is limited and we have/had to buy 2 bikes (me and my girlfriend).

Some general info
We are both beginners, both about the length of 1.83, myself weighing around 83 kilo and girlfriend is around 60 (but don't tell her I told you...). We are looking for fully's because of let's say comfort..
I don't expect us soon going for really difficult trails, but let's see where we end up.

Advice needed:
I've found a bike near my location, which is a 2016 E-MTB Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPA Race 500 27,5

• It is bought in March 2021
• Still has factory Warranty (2 years in the netherlands)
• 1 free service available
• Receipt everything is available
• 540km in total
• 20" Frame
• Dropper post
• Price is €2500,- (was €4200,-)

Question:
Is the price okay/reasonable for this bike?
Does it matter that it is a 160mm? (didnt have the chance to drive it yet, going for it tomorrow).
Is there a difference between a 2019 Bosch motor ? (We have one now)

Is there a reason I would not go for it?

Really hoping for some good advice, let me know if you need to know anything else.

Best regards,
Peter

Have you considered having a look through the ’bikes & parts for sale’ section on this forum for similar bikes / specs? It may give you some insight to how fair the price is.
Looks like it has an early motor, so may be worth checking repair / replacement options with LBS.
I’m certain Cube warranty isn’t transferable in the UK, probably worth checking if this is / isn’t the case in the Netherlands.
Good luck!

Not worth it in my opinion, old motor is inferior like really inferior to gen4 which is a gem . Find a bike with gen 4 ..
