Also the bit that clamps onto the seatstay rack mounts would need to be somewhat flexible (ie bendable) bit like the silver bits on the topeak above as they are not actually flat in line with the bike but have a slight angle. The tobus is super rigid and would not be bendable to fit.

Hmmm ... I have the Race Allroad pro (with mudguards) just tried to fit the super stable Tobus Logo from my Dawes Super Galaxy. Width is fine, but the plastic clips that hold on the mudguards wont really fit and the rack fouls the mudguard stays it would need to run through it (sorta) not...

Thanks - hopefully there is a rack thats recommended ... or I wonder do Cube make a specific product that fits? Or are racks pretty standard for bikes with nothing being special about e-bike and a standard disc brake rack would fit? Many thanks,

Hi, Bit of a thread bump... How are you all getting on with the bike a few months in? Any recommendations on what rack might fit? Thanks,

Hello, I'm buying a new e-bike in the next few weeks. What is a reasonable discount/extra to ask for that wont insult the bike shop (who have been great). It's not an Internet only place so I appreciate they have overheads. Happy to hear from those who have got a little something on their...

Hello, Thank you all for the replies ... very interesting. The questions comes from my own situation. I am looking at an e-bike for commuting and general recreation usage. Due to the distance I am think an e-bike would be great - waft in without sweating plus not need to feast on bananas and...

Hello, For those who are on their second ebike or have purchased with an eye on the financial costs. How long do you expect your ebike to last before needing to be replaced (other than an upgrade)? For example bike worn out, tech so outdated, battery not holding charge, motor worn out etc...

Thank you - but a bit harder for 3 gen currently as many MTB types are either Performance Line or CX with the 3rd gen more for commuters it seems.

Hello, Thank you for reply. All makes complete sense ... but assuming choice is between Performance Line and Performance CX why would I choose one over the other? Is it simply additional torque? Do they both have same mechanism or is CX model more robust (more metal parts). Appologies in...

Hello, Under what circumstances would you suggest that the Performance CX is worth it over the Performance Line model? They are quite a bit more expensive and wonder if they are worth it on a MTB that's 80% used for commuting (with rack). Are the CX harder to peddle when off than the...

Hello, Which model from the Bosch recently refreshed electric bike motor range (2017 update) is suitable for general commuting? Not mounain biking or extreme activity stuff. Commute is approx 8 miles both ways with medium hills on the way back. I had planned to get the Performance Line CX...

Hi, Anybody managed to get a Scott E-Sub 2017 model? If so which one and where did you source from as they all appear to be out of stock on the XL size - even Scott UK no real help. Those who managed to get one (if any) - what is your opinion? Thanks,

But then again, we are probably into availablity issues again as mentioned above.

Hi, Seems the issue is with the frame size :-( must not be enough in that size or they are awaiting production run or something. Now looking at Cube as alternative: https://www.cube.eu/uk/2017/e-bike-trekking/cross-hybrid/cube-cross-hybrid-sl-allroad-500-blacknflashred-2017/ Any thoughts on...

Funilly enough it's just the XL size that's delayed so hopeing it not a part shortage or from Bosche or Shimanno. Many thanks,

Hello, Many thanks. Spoke to a few dealers and they all see the same delivery dates of March. A few are going to contact Scott and see if this can be hurried (I'm guessing some dealers have more pull on certain manufacturers if they sell a lot of their brand). Only if they can source one in...

A bump for me as big delays on the Scott E-sub for size I require mean I've still not solved the dilema of wether the £600 difference is worth it! I'm thinking it probably is as the bike will be used for a good few years so would not want to penny pinche and regret it. Any thought? Many thanks,

Hello, Looking to get a Scott E-Sub Tour Men or Scott E-Sub Sport 20 Men in Extra Large size but struggling to find a supplier that does not have an anticipated delivery date of March 2017. Is this model in short suply or can anybody suggest a dealer who could source? This is a particular...

Hi, Is it possible to get a bike with a Bosch Active 250w system and later on upgrade to a Bosch Performance CX 250w system or is that basically a whole new bike? In other words, are they interchangable units? Many thanks,

Hi, So there is a bit of a delay in getting stock from Scott for the size I need. Unfortunately this gives me even more time to mull over the decision... What would the general advice here be - is the Scott e-sub sport 20 2017 worth the extra £600 price over the Scott e-sub tour 2017 for a...
