    Cube 2022

    EMTB mode is amazing. Once you get used to the sensitivity and learn to choose appropriate gears and cadence, it allows for a spectacular ride. I only put it into eco on a long descent when my battery was getting low. Eco is very sluggish for me unless going down, Tour mode is very linear. Like...

    We all know the importance of wearing a helmet

    Do most of you ride with open face or full-face helmets? I'm thinking of switching to full-face. My local trails here in Spain are nothing but rocks, rocks and bigger rocks. Also, sometimes my ear gets blocked up from the wind on long rides (old injury) so the side protection has other benefits...

    Cube 2022

    Well, after just getting back from a 46 km ride with 1800 m of climb I was on 27% battery. I can see why having a 750 instead of my 630 could be an advantage for long days. Mind you, I'm toasted and wasn't up for more trails after that.. I'm thinking of just buying a 6 amp fast charger for...

    Newbie with way too much bike.

    Neuron, any advice for improving my downhill runs? I'm an intermediate rider and find myself managing technical uphills with confidence. Once I got used to the sensitivity of emtb mode, it's a real pleasure to use after previously only using trail mode on a Canyon with a shimano motor. I can't...

    Newbie with way too much bike.

    Well, I'm having a blast. Emtbs are heavy going down, there's no denying, all the more reason to have a good amount of travel. They require quite a bit more of umph to track you're line. I'm tackling trails both up and down I wouldn't have managed before. And techie uphills have become a joy!

    How frequently are you charging your bike?

    I've got a new 630 with the Bosch gen 4. So far, even on decent rides over 30 km with 1000 m climb in emtb mode I'm only getting it down to 45-50%. I charge it to full the night before I ride. (every other day).

    Cube 2022

    Managed to get the 160 race last week. I wanted to go for the action team but the wait was absurd and I've been biting at the bit for weeks. My LBS sold the 2022 model for 3999 euro, with an upgrade to the Kiox display for 4200 euro. Honestly, I'm incredibly happy after tuning the suspension and...

    Glasses lens colours?

    Absolutely. It's the price we all have to pay for inclusion... and of course I change my lenses to match the gender I'm feeling on any given day. Get with it bro.

    E-bikes could be banned in New Forest?

    The UK is a great example of the cause and effect from over-regulating and meddling into every facet of peoples lives by useless bureaucrats. Some teenagers will be always be hell demons regardless of new laws passed. Knife crimes will still happen even if you have to go on a registry when you...

    Newbie with way too much bike.

    Welcome from a fellow newbie! I second The Hodge, you can never have too much bike. The better the equipment the more confidence it will lend you in the learning process. I'm a former Appalachian boy (Charlottesville, VA) I'm sure they're plenty of great trails to ride in the area. I love NC...

    Greetings from Valencia, Spain

    The whyte E-180 is pretty mouth watering. I was also on the waiting list for the Canyon Torque-On 9. The rocks and drops are pretty intense here so mid-top spec enduros are my dream within my budget.

    Greetings from Valencia, Spain

    Hey, happy to join this awesome forum. It's been a massive help over the last couple of months as I've gone through the process of buying my first emtb. I'm now the happy owner of a Cube hybrid 160. I needed the big travel for the punishing single trails around where I live north of Valencia in...
