    Bosch CX Motor Initial Service Indicator

    Thank you - much apprecaited. Is it just a flag (ie on or off) or does it store the number of miles it came on for? If there is nothing that's serviced on the motor then I might just ask them to set it not to come on at all when I eventually get it put out. I guess a status report of the...

    Bosch CX Motor Initial Service Indicator

    Hello, Bosch CX motor running fine but the spanner icon just came up without any error codes which I believe means it's recommended to have a maintanence check. I understand to reset this it needs to be connected to the Bosch diagnostics software - not a problem but just not passing near...

    Giant Quick-e 2018

    I also thought the powertube was a bit of added weight for no real benefit other than cosmetics.

    Giant Quick-e 2018

    I also really liked the look of the Scott e-sub sport 20. In the end availability (delayed UK dates in the XL size) meant I eventualy got a Cube Reaction Hybrid Pro 500 All Road (with mudguards). Add in a rack and lock out the front suspension and it makes a really good commuter. What also put...

    Hello, Any particular grease needed for a Bosch CX motor? Is it special Bosch stuff or just regular grease be okay? Just looking to better lubricate (preventative measure) to eliminate any future creaks etc. Many thanks in advance,

    battery musings?

    Slightly on topic... What is the recommended method to care for modern batteries? I have a 2018 Bosch Powerpack 500 and not sure if it's better to charge it fully, then run it to 20% charge (to condition and excercise the battery) or if better to charge each day? A single commute (both ways)...

    Changing the front chainring on Bosch CX drive

    Thank you - parts ordered. Just waiting for them to arrive - seen this wonder if anybody has had any issues here with a larger chainring? https://electricbikereview.com/forum/threads/changed-sprocket-15t-to-18t-performance-cx-power-cutting-speedo-up-and-down.16164/ I've ordered both an 18 and...

    Purchased a 2018 Cube Reaction Race 500

    Hi, The official cube rack arrived - fitted yesterday fine. It's a bit tight with the All Road original mudguards (they seem particulary wide) but with a bit of final work tinkering the fitting it should be okay. No rubbing at the moment (clearance at the top of the tyre is quite tight due to...

    Changing the front chainring on Bosch CX drive

    Hello, Many thanks for the info - is that the same part used for a 2018 model? I'm guessing same motor so same part? Also, do you know if thats the right Bosch spider tool (is a CX the same as as an classic plus? Make sense to order all the parts from the same place i guess. Thanks again for...

    Changing the front chainring on Bosch CX drive

    Hello, Thanks for all the advice. Ordered the increased front chainring - seems like worth doing and might help with the road perfomance at speeds over 15mph. However, my Cube has a plasticy guard thing that sits just outside of the frontchainring. When I fit a larger chainring it would be...

    Changing the front chainring on Bosch CX drive

    Hello, Thank you both - sorry for the confusion, meant harder to pedel but with less RPM as I am spending the most amount of time in the smallest rear cogs. Thanks for the suggestion of 20T - seems like a resonable value to try and had not thought about the clipping of the plastic surround on...

    Changing the front chainring on Bosch CX drive

    Hello, Cube Bosch CX drive bikes appear to have a 15T front chainring. I can see that there are alternative third party versions available in quite a few sizes 16,17,18,19,20,22. I am interested not to increase the motor asistance level or speed, but to make pedeling beyond cutoff a bit easier...

    Purchased a 2018 Cube Reaction Race 500

    Hello, This is really useful. If you have fitted a rack can you take some pictures to show the fitting arrangement? I have the mudguard version so it's a bit more complicated how they fit so they don't foul the mudguard supports. Might it be worth asking Cube if they do a specific rack?
