God dam it.. now more choices to look into, why cant there be just 5 e-mtb bikes made lol!!! arrrr... The cube hybrid is not even on there in the top 10.
What are your thoughts on this list?


Seems the COMMENCAL META POWER 29 might be replacing my Cube Hybrid bike of choice!

If you search on the same site there should be the comparison between bikes under a certain pricetag and there the Cube 140 is considered best buy ;)

EDIT: here is the link

BMC. I’ve ridden many Emtb’s including those in the test. BMC performed the best for me. 130 or 150 travel. 29 or 27.5. I went with 130/29. Couldn’t be happier.

Could always check out the Whyte for that budget also. Or the trance e+0 pro, getting fox factory full sus for 5.5k not a bad deal. Sorry for throwing more bikes at you lol

Ride as many as you can, buy the one you like with no regrets.
Don't then wonder if you bought the right bike, you did... Just get out and ride it and enjoy it.
Now then? Should I have bought the Turbo Levo ?
^ Let me paraphrase that for you, if I may...

The Oracle (aka Kilham5): Ride as many as you can, buy the one you like with no regrets.
Don't then wonder if you bought the right bike, you did... Just get out and ride it and enjoy it.
And don't worry about the Turbo Levo.

Neo: What Turbo Levo? (turns around and knocks it over and breaks it). I'm sorry... how did you know?

The Oracle: I said don't worry about it. What's really going to bake your noodle later on is, would you still have bought the Turbo Levo if I hadn't said anything?

I have the Cube 160 TM, am thrilled with it.
However, I don't think anyone mentioned here... Buy the bike you can try out, and you can get from your Local Bike Shop.
I enjoy tinkering with bikes, however the motor and electrics you can't do yourself. So if anything goes wrong, you need a local place to takeit to.
My first emtb simply didn't work!! and I had it in for repairs 8 times before demanding my money back. Imagine that with an online purchase.

At the end of the day whatever you buy you will always see something else you like or want. I am crap and making decisions if there is more than one option. For the last two months I have been looking at Cube, Cannondale, and Whyte over and over again, reviews pictures, comments on this forum which I only joined last week just to make it more confusing. Got up two mornings ago picked up phone and put a deposit on a Whyte. Sat down started looking at others again. I am sticking with the Whyte though...........I think. :unsure:

The fact I have decided to go with the cube and pay that day was really frustrating as they are out of stock everywhere I don't want to have to go down the route of looking at more and more bikes so I'm a bit fed up at the minute ;( and sold my marir mount vision for 350 ;( I'm bikless.

Yes, you should have hung on to your acoustic - a backup is always needed in the world of emtb. And you could always use it for the burbs.

They still have some sizes in 2019 stock at good discounts... So 2019 or 2020 - more choice! :)
