I have the same bike but in the carbon C-62 version.If you want to go fast you will need a dongle made by badass in the x3 version. Then you will need to change the gearing and tyres.I have a 19 tooth sprocket on the motor and a 12-25 close ratio cassette on the rear wheel.The 29r wheels are a...

Has anyone had the latest October 2016 software update loaded into the Bosch CX motor that has recently been released.The result is a claimed increase in torque.The dealer i bought the bike from isn`t up to speed about it.

I have a 19 tooth sprocket on the bosch cx and there are no signs of wear after a thousand miles but i only ride on the road.At the rear i have a 12-25 cassette because a 11-23 one wears out the 11 too much.The bike runs realy well in sport mode and has a nice cruise at about 25 mph with a 35...

Make sure you buy the bike that is right for you,everyone has different needs so test ride as much as possible. Carting a e-bike around in a car is hard work and that is why local dealers are best.I used to buy at distance but after a few breakdowns i learned the hard way after a 250 mile round...

Bosch are the best in class as far as mid drive motors are concerned.The CX motor has proven outstanding in reliability and performance. Now i have heard that dealing with magura who are the distributors can be a little tricky but they probably have so few problems with the latest motors that it...

Read the thread concerning the Kalkhoff impulse motor because all the details are in there.I have owned two Kalkhoffs and had three motors replaced. Never again as i have now sold them.

Buy in haste,repent at leisure.

Yes i agree but the manufacturers i stated are right at the cutting edge of design and build technology with carbon frames and the latest full suspension systems plus they are very fashionable and attractive to the younger buyers,some of the 2017 models are stunning.

The 2017 Haibikes look realy good but too expensive so i`ll stay with Cube.

Mine is the hybrid race 500 carbon model,looking at the geometry for the step through it looks like the 54 would suit,the 50 could be a little cramped. Cube make great bikes and if you can buy local do so because it cuts down on the hassle if anything goes wrong.

I have a Cube hybrid e-bike in 19 inch or 48.3 cm,i am 5`11``,you could do a Cube frame geometry search for the model you like. If you are thinking about kalkhoff do some research on the motor because caution is advised.The problems are well documented on this forum.

The main players are the bike manufacturers with the most money behind them for design, research and development,the ones who sell the most non powered bikes and powered ones. Giant,Scott,Haibike,Cube and Ktm all use the best motor and battery technology available and use top frame materials and...

I have had a new motor fitted with the latest software and it was awful compared to the original.Slow start off and unresponsive with a muted feeling also it was cutting out on realy sharp bumps probably to stop the motor surging because of the shock through the crank arms. I sold it on at a...

Nothing wrong with the Giant as they make fantastic bikes and at that price it is a good saving.The Yamaha motor is one of the best in performance and reliability.

I know what you are saying about the hills it feels like your legs are not working on a normal bike. TREK have brought out the Emonda road bike that weighs 10.25 lb...that would help if i had a spare 10k in cash.

Is it derestricted because if it isn`t that is good going and you would be better off on a realy lightweight road racer with no motor.

The noises in the videos are the exact ones mine made when they failed.I have had three failures on two different models kalkhoff and focus.Don`t know the exact mileage on each one but it was low.

When are you going to realise that they are cheap secondhand for a reason.....NOBODY WANTS ONE !

Nobody will believe you without video evidence,lets see it with the bike onboard.

Whatever you decide keep the forum informed and good luck.
