    Cube Cross Hybrid Pro 625 AllRoad

    I try not to exert as much force through the crank when changing gear, similar to a non assisted bike, I personally stop pedalling for a split second, the chainring will continue to rotate with the motor (for a fraction of a second) this will allow a smooth change with no undue strain on the...

    Cube Cross Hybrid Pro 625 AllRoad

    It seems that you may be missing the point that this is "peddle assist" I have exactly the same bike, in the largest size, so heaviest option, I've also fitted a seatpost mount rack and bag which adds another 2-3kgs, I am 6' 5" and 260lbs, I very rarely come out of eco mode only occasionally...

    Speedbox 3.0

    Further to my original review, today the Speedbox 3.0 failed I have only covered just over 300 miles with it fitted, it's only been switched on for a small percentage of that time, maybe 20 miles... I was riding down a country lane at approx 16-18mph when the motor cut out and the display was...

    The Negative (IMHO) Trend Towards Built-in Pannier Racks

    That's one of the main reasons I chose the Cube Cross hybrid Pro over the Kathmandu

    Will do... It's no surprise that 50% of the bikes for sale at the retailer he purchased from, are Carrera Crossfire/Crossfire II

    Carrera Crossfire help

    The charger was lit red when plugged in and switched on, lit green after a couple of hours, I left it a couple more to be on the safe side although the screen only achieved 99% charge.

    Carrera Crossfire help

    It has a 14 day money back guarantee, I'll suggest he sends it back, it's not worth the hassle trying to put it right.

    Carrera Crossfire help

    It does run (I think) at least it charges ok with no apparent fault warnings, I've ran up the motor in walk mode but that's it! my friend hasn't seen it yet, he purchased it and has been away on holiday whilst it was delivered to work, he will see it when he returns on Thursday, if this free...

    A friend of mine has just purchased a used (2018? 1100miles) Carrera Crossfire ebike from an online retailer of used ebikes... Now this is a bit of a dog, if he'd paid £150-200 privately for it, I'd admit it is what it is and tell him to make the best of it, but he paid over £600! for what looks...

    My Cross hybrid also came without bottle cage bolts, M5x14mm stainless button heads are what you need.

    Cube Cross Hybrid Pro 625 AllRoad

    I too purchased the same bike a couple of weeks ago albeit in 62cm, I've already changed the tyres to Schwalbe big apples as they roll better on my 12 mile road commute, the seatpost to a Suntour ncx suspension post, a necessity on such a heavy hard tail bike, the seat to an SMP TRK (personal...
