What's all this 'when we were young' stuff.... We're still young?! 😭
A mountain bike when I was a kid was a rigid with knobbly tyres, rim brakes and a steel frame that felt like it weighed as much as my e-bike 😂
Yep, the first proper ride on a decent e-bike is amazing! Feels like you can go absolutely anywhere on it.
Still loving mine and look forward to getting out on it.
Yep, £20 from Halfords.
Much better than clamping on the seat post.
I'll let you know tonight, just threw the bike in to quickly test it. Can feel how much more solid it is though.
I'd say with spring starting and hopefully better weather this surplus stock is going to be snapped up and you'll be waiting until Jan next year hoping for bargains.
Decent discounts right now, take advantage of it and enjoy the next few months riding!
😂 no definitely don't work for them.
I think unless you remove the paint you won't know for sure. I don't know if there's such a thing as a carbon fibre frame expert but for piece of mind I'd get the opinion of someone more knowledgeable.
For selling I'd probably look at getting it a respray if...
Shop around and you can get a new 2022 model cube SL for less than £4500.
I've got the action team version and absolutely love it, the bosch motor is great and that 750w battery is ideal.
Curious, what is this history of frame failures? I'm in roughly 6 cube ebike related FB groups, thousands of members in total and I'm not sure if I've even seen one post about someone having a failure, let alone many.
Guy in the shop is full of sh!t. It's the gen 4 motor with 750 battery. You only get those with the smart system.
Now, if he's talking about a different thumb controller then he might be correct there, as the 2022 models have a different thumb controller but it's the same smart system, just...
Personally I'd only buy second hand if it had a Bosch motor as replacements can be bought plus there are independent service places that can overhaul the motor.

Just an example, that's a great bike for the price.
The race has lower spec components, check the spec list against each other.
Both bikes will be using the Bosch smart system which connects to your phone via Bluetooth through the app.
It's worth seeing if there are any discounts on 2022 models as although it's the better bike I did see price...
