    Purchased a 2018 Cube Reaction Race 500

    Update. Had my Cube reaction hybrid pro 500 5 weeks. No problems at all once I had ironed out the pre delivery woes from the apathetic store I got it from. 260 miles and I love the thing. Mostly doing cycle routes,old railways etc but some roads so have front and rear lights,bright ones so I'm...

    Purchased a 2018 Cube Reaction Race 500

    I’ve had mine a week and never been off it. It’s got me back pedalling for the first time in years and I’m loving it more than I even thought. Bought the 19 frame but thought it felt cramped so swooped for 21 which is bigger but feels better. Going to invest in a litelok belt lock coz I’m...

    Range on a New 500mAh Bosch

    Crikey I go out on a ride and come back to this Thanks for the great replies Ok so just done 33 miles on the Derwent walk 16.5 up and when I say up it’s a very gentle incline tea and sausage sarnie then turn round and come back flat or slightly down hill. Used mostly tour occasionally emtb and...

    Range on a New 500mAh Bosch

    Just found this thread after a week with my Cube with Cx performance 500 and two runs of around 30 miles and I’m really disappointed with the range. Mostly old railway paths so no big climbs and not on turbo at all pedalling with purpose must of the time. Just charged it Turbo 24 emtb 27 tour...

    I didn't get the race just the hybrid pro 500. In black/grey. It's so pretty it's staying in my office not the garage

    Yes...wildo...three knee ops for me and not really ridden for 3/4 years so this is a gamble. My wife will kick me out when she finds out I've spent 2k

    Purchased a 2018 Cube Reaction Race 500

    Ordered a Reaction 500 today from Evans. Bought an old bike off gumtree for £10 and so got £200 off rest on 24 months 0%. Upgraded the pedals and it's coming next week. Love the look of it and hope my dodgy knees and iffy hip will not complain too much as chant wait to get back to what I did a...

    Trek powerfly 4 or Cube Reaction hybrid 500?

    Hi... Story so far. Bought a Mate bike that had a thumb throttle and 350w motor..it was nice but was worried about the legality..like lack of it...and sold it. Also in the 10 miles I rode it I thought an e mountain bike would be more up my street for what I want to be doing. 2k is way expensive...

    Looking for a lightweight folding e-bike?

    I have a Mate. folding bike but it's so heavy it really cannot be considered portable. Walking around with it really isn't possible,unlike the ads they promote and I can't even stick it in my fiesta boot without both the back seats going down but foldabilty was low on my list so not too bothered.

    My name is Mark and I am an idiot!

    Thanks a lot for the replies. I am unsure where to go here as plan 1 is take the thumb throttle off take stickers off and enjoy and hope I don't get stopped or 2 flog it and get something else that's 250. I just want to kick around,get a bit fitter and enjoy the feeling of being on a bike again...

    My name is Mark and I am an idiot!

    Thanks for the replies. 350 is stamped on the hub of the motor and there is a big sticker on the frame saying 350. Think it will assist to 30kph as it is the top s version intended for the US. I’ll put a couple of pics up tonight when I get home. It’s a new brand bike from 2017 so cant imagine...

    My name is Mark and I am an idiot!

    I made the mistake of telling my wife I wanted an electric bike and she went off and bought me a bike from a private seller that has a 350w motor and a throttle. It looks amazing and I had it put together by a local bike shop but now I realise I'm not supposed to ride it. It's from a company...
