    Clicky, grindy noise in low gears

    Thanks again, I will check these gaps today. I got a reply from Cube: It is normal that the bike makes a little more noise when using the big cogs on the rear because of the chain tension. If the noise is coming from the motor then we will need to contact Bosch and the bike will most likely...

    Clicky, grindy noise in low gears

    Always happy to get a lesson. The noise only happens when I'm sat on the bike, and most noticeably when going uphill, in low gears. It sounds super smooth in the high gears. To my ear it's like the chain is rubbing on something as d8veh suggests. I know it's not the mudguard, have checked...

    Clicky, grindy noise in low gears

    Hi all, I just got my first eBike, a Cube Hybrid Race 500 Allroad. It's a 2017 model and I really love it. I have noticed that in the low gears, particularly on an incline there is a kind of clicky sound coming from around the pedal area. I am new to cycling and don't know for sure if there's...

    Just in from Bath...

    Hey, am a new eBike owner (Cube Hybrid Race 500) and after years without doing any cycling whatsoever I'm really loving it. I do a short but very hilly commute through some fairly lumpy country lanes and the electric bike has made the journey an utter pleasure. I also have a technical question...
