Looking for similar myself, but really a tarmac / light trail tyre to commute with. Schwalbe Marathons and Schwalbe Energizer plus get good reviews and aren't too expensive. This site is interesting in case you haven't already seen it; https://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/tour-reviews

That sounds cheap for the pro race version with the 500wh battery. The 2019 version (that is virtually the same spec) is over £2500. I paid just under that for mine with trade in discount. I ended up cleaning the bike up myself (as I didn't trust Evans to do a decent job) and logging the...

Thanks for your reply. Should I just wipe it off with a rag or can I use a degreaser (I think I've read about keeping degreaser away from the motor?) Do you know what grease I should use to put around the crank area? thanks

I've just picked up my new bike this week from Evans Cycles, its an ex demo 2018 Cube Reaction Hybrid Pro Race. It has only done 50 miles and in very good condition with just a couple of little marks here and there. There was a problem with the purion display (failed pixels and illegible) so...

I would get a large if I were you. I'm 5ft 10 and went for the 19 inch frame cube.

I don't know what frame size you need or how much the larger battery matters, but there is a 2018 Cube Reaction Hybrid Pro 400 ex display for just £1385 here https://www.evanscycles.com/cube-reaction-hybrid-pro-400-2018-electric-mountain-bike-17-inch-ex-demo-EV364373 It should have full Bosch...

Thanks for your reply. It has a Purion display. From what I've managed to find online (https://newwheel.net/questions/display/PKB/Find+the+total+mileage+of+your+electric+bike#expand-Bosch) you can get the trip and total odometer reading on them as well.

Well after months of deliberating I have just finally purchased an ex-demo 2018 Cube Reaction Hybrid Race 500. I'm collecting it from the local Evans Cycles next week. It was a great price and has only been "very lightly used for a short distance". I'm slightly anxious with it being an ex-demo...

I thought it was! I'm only a couple of miles away. May well see you up there when I get my bike shortly.

Looks nice.....is that the puffing billy track?

What did you go for in the end and how are you getting on with it (I'm having the same dillema myself re Active Line Plus or CX motor)?

The Trek Dual Sport + does look nice, but I agree it seems a little overpriced. The Cube Cross and Cube Touring are also worth a look if you are considering hybrids. Both have the Active Line Plus motor and seem to be good value (if that can be said about a £2000 bike!) I'm finding it a...

I'm going through a similar dilema. I test rode the 2017 Strada Elite a while ago and liked it. Di2 shifitng and Alfine hub was very nice. I found it quite a sporty riding position. I'm looking for a bike for a 15 mile each way commute and some of it is on fairly rough county lanes (lots of...

I bought a nearly new one second-hand and have to say I was quite impressed with it.......up to a point. Good fun, simple clean design and easy to use, but it was no good with the Devon hills around me. If you live in a fairly flat area, don't need to travel great distances, but want a simple...

Thanks for all of the replies. Wheeliepete I've sent you a PM.
