Sweet! The Cube's may be lagging behind a bit with their geometry but their stylists are definitely on point! They are probably the best packaged Bosch bikes at the moment, only the top of the range Trek Powerfly gets close.
My wife fancies a Cube 140 are they good bikes?

Wow I am not that far away from there I rode that trail once but crikey it was a hilly finish but would be fab on a Cube
I put a deposit down on a Trance E + 2 on Saturday BUT I am not sure now and I think I would like to see a Cube bike instead do they have some there to look at? I will cancel the Giant tomorrow I hope they will give me my deposit back am i right in thinking I have a cooling off period?

They have a few not sure what models as I am new to all this so I have just gone for the cube reaction hybrid 500 hard tail to see if I can still ride a bike, they are very helpful and also Own shops in other places in nyorksWow I am not that far away from there I rode that trail once but crikey it was a hilly finish but would be fab on a Cube

Does the 2019 tm cube come with the new kiox display or is it the purion?

Sorry I forgot to respond she isn't that keen on the looks she thinks the down tube is a bit too chunky, she is a fussy so and so
she does like the Cube though and I will cancel my Giant bike tomorrow and I will get to a Cube dealer as I really love the look of these and want to see one close up as I really fancy one now.This one has the purion, but the kiox display is an option. The TM zit the kiox display was not available yet when we bought it (10/2018).

Yeah, I'm thinking of cancelling my Neuron On and going for the Cube TM 120, looks a sweet bike and also available at local bike shop. Was wondering though if anyone got a cube bike with the new kiox display yet?

Would be nice to have a colour display on the Bosch, maybe it's an easy upgrade when it comes out.

This is the one I really fancy "Cube stereo hybrid 140TM 500 Kiox" that is from J E James Rotherham site and it looks like it's top of the range in the 140 travel, i love the matt grey/orange combo and they are offering 10% off 2019 bikes so it's £4500 so it will come down to around £4000 I just have to see one now

I really like the Norco but the lack of a local dealer puts me off and I don't buy bikes from Evans I prefer an independant shop and we keep the bikes in the garage and not being able to remove the battery is a no no as our garage gets really cold.

Same colour combo as the one i have on the way, obviously not in the same league as a cube stereo
This one

10% off because they're all out of stock. Probably have to wait months to get one.This is the one I really fancy "Cube stereo hybrid 140TM 500 Kiox" that is from J E James Rotherham site and it looks like it's top of the range in the 140 travel, i love the matt grey/orange combo and they are offering 10% off 2019 bikes so it's £4500 so it will come down to around £4000 I just have to see one now

Regarding the geometry, I actually think Cube is purposely keeping the bike more balanced (longer chainstays for climbs, stability, more comfortable seating position etc.) because it is what many non-pro riders want and you can stay for hours in the saddle without any pain. Personally, I love them I think for riders who are not super agile, this is a great balance. I do not mean any offense, I just feel many reviews are made by pro riders, but people who buy the bikes and are not doing constant carving, jumping and 100m manuals, may find a more balanced set up more rewarding on a daily basis. Just an opinion, surely many will disagree...
@More-read-than-ride I totally agree with you, its very easy to get distracted into buying the best bike, which actually may not be the best bike for you.
I said it before and I will say it again: Unless you aboslutely do not have the money for more, buy FS on an emtb!

Well after Mark saying J E James in Rotherham was a great shop I took a detour today and went in there, WOW that pace is huge and I can't believe how many makes of ebike he stocks I spoke to Jeff who was very helpful and he said he could get me the 140 TM in the grey/orange and if I paid in full he would do a 10% discount! but I wouldn't get it until April.
That isn't a problem and I liked the 140 that he showed me but obviously you don't really know what it's like until you hit the trails, I tried for a straight £4000 but he wouldn't budge and as I have got a deposit on a Giant Trance 2 which is £3500 I think I will stick with the Giant as I am trying to sell my own bike and have two people interested so the Giant situation makes more sense to me but I really liked the Cube but at £650 more and having the hassle of selling mine again I wasn't sure.
Also I didn't fancy paying in full in case anything happened, and I didn't feel great around there as that really is a grim area I would be scared my bike would be nicked before I left

I'm sticking with the Neuron as received an email today saying my bike will be ready early February for delivery. Not a lot in it though for the Canyon and Cube for me as both great bikes but seeing as my local dealer is Evans and they don't seem to have a clue when asking anything I've decided to opt for the Canyon.
