    Help please -Upgrading Altus (MT200) disc brakes

    Hi all. I've had my first ebike (a Cube Touring Hybrid ONE) for a year now, and have really enjoyed using it. However, a lot of my riding (in Devon, UK) includes some very steep roads and tracks, so I would like to get some better brakes. I wondered if I could 'simply' swap the calipers for...

    Hi from Torquay, Devon

    Hi all. I recently bought my first ebike (Cube Touring Hybrid ONE) and I'm loving it. The motor certainly helps on the hills around here (South Devon and Dartmoor), and the rack means I've been able to be 'self sufficient' during lockdown. I still ride my road bike 50% of the time - it's nice to...

    Cube Touring One Hybrid 400

    I've had a Cube Touring Hybrid One 500 for 3 months (my first ebike) and I love it. Great range, quiet motor, comfy and stable ride, can carry plenty of gear on rack, good brakes, gears ok, good on and off road (light stuff). Very heavy but that's to be expected. I can highly recommend but it's...

    First e-bike, largely commuting but want reasonable all rounder

    I've recently bought my first ebike, a Cube Touring Hybrid One 500. I've only ridden it twice and have nothing to compare it with but my initial thoughts are that it is brilliant (stable, comfortable, quiet, good range, decent brakes). My second ride was a 40 mile 4000ft ride on Dartmoor and it...

    Battery charger with EU plu

    Thanks both for the replies. I'm relieved to hear that I shouldn't have compatibility/safety issues with different voltages etc etc. I didn't want to hack the plug off and put a UK one on in case I had to return it (or sold it) further down the line. I went into good old Wilko's and bought an...

    Battery charger with EU plu

    Thanks for the reply Nealh. I'll pop down to the DIY store and take the battery (Yamaha powerpack 400) with me, so's I can get the right adapter. All I've got at home is a shaver plug.

    Battery charger with EU plu

    Hi there, I've just bought a Lapierre ebike (for my missus) from a large UK online company. The bike came with the UK brake setup (left lever = rear wheel), but the charger has an EU plug and there is no adapter included. There is no mention of it having an EU plug on the website. I've emailed...
