    Cube Deristricted

    Still going great. No error codes. Last ride I thought I had an issue with it but it turned out the magnet on the wheel had moved, slid it back into place and tightened it up and all good again.

    Motor mounting bolts

    I didn't have a torque wrench but I have a wera set of allen keys which have a long handles so could give them some welly as it were lol. Mine were definitely loose as they turned without much pressure to start with then I gave them a bit extra to make sure.

    Motor mounting bolts

    Well then I'm sorry I was wrong. I would have put money on it to be fair as its the same bike as mine. I don't have a clue then sorry but will carry on watching this thread in case I get the same.

    Motor mounting bolts

    Well that is strange. Did you check the torque head nuts too Think they are T30 ?

    Motor mounting bolts

    That sounds like pretty good explanation. Especially when all you have to tighten them is such a small amount. I didn't find that explanation when I was researching it so thank you. I just thought they had come loose somehow.

    Motor mounting bolts

    Tightening the nuts will solve it. I couldn't believe it either, just by tightening them a tiny bit would stop that god awful noise. The sound was like a penny been rubbed down a comb but louder lol At the start of every ride I still listen for it to start but still silent a month on (y)

    Motor mounting bolts

    No I haven't changed the front sprocket. The only reason the speedbox is on there is so when I'm going down hill as speeds greater than 15mph I can pedal without it feeling like I have the brakes on lol. I don't really want the bike to go any faster and I like the gear ratios as they are so I...

    Motor mounting bolts

    I got my crank puller from Halfords for a tenner. It's not the best but it does the job. The first time you take it off you have to apply a lot of pressure, I had to hit it with my hand and it came loose. That was to fit the speedbox. I put grease on the crank and it came off easier next time...

    Motor mounting bolts

    They are on the non drive side. You only need to take off the one side. See pictures...

    Motor mounting bolts

    Yes that's what mine was doing (same bike, same year) When I put pressure on with my left foot it sounded awful. They were not even that loose, quarter of a turn, if that. But it was enough to stop the creaking and have a nice quiet ride. My cassette came loose the very next day after fixing the...

    Motor mounting bolts

    Easy mate. The bash guard is in 2 halfs and held with 2 metal clips in the middle that keep them aligned. That's the hardest bit, getting those to line back up when putting it together. 1. Pull the crank with crank puller tool. 2. Undo the small allen bolts on the bashgaurd on the same side, the...

    How to make it faster?

    That is my reason for putting the speedbox on my bike, it turned my frown upside down :) I need to have a go on a Gen 4 after all this crap is out the way.

    How to make it faster?

    How to make it faster?

    Like this. But your speedo will be out which I did not like so bought a speedbox 2. Your speedo will be how fast you are pedaling rather than how fast the wheel is turning. Move the speed sensor and attach with cable ties. Add a strong magnet on your pedal allen bolt head. I used a strontium...

    Trail Watts starts testing Range Extender for Bosch.

    @MB1 Sounds like a viable solution and one I thought of too. Can you feel the battery against your back through the backpack ? Also, does it move about in the bag. Cheers. Which bag did you get ?

    Noise issue

    Motor bolts, my reaction 500 pro made the same noise. I regreased my seat and stripped it 3 times before I read somewhere about motor bolts. Mine were not even that loose, less than quarter of a turn but that's enough to make that awful noise. Mine was on the downstroke with the left pedal. If...

    New pet

    Very nice. I want to upgrade my cube(gen 3) to another cube but Gen 4. Would be good to hear how is the drag on the Gen 4 motor. Have fun and enjoy it.
