Look forward to hearing how you get on. Based purely on prejudice over nothing else, I would take a Cube over a Crossfuse. Particularly when the Cube is such good value at this time.

My wife has a Cube Elly Ride (which I believe is a very similar spec) that she got about a month ago. So far, so very good. I don't think you will go wrong with the Hybrid and the 2019 models are very good value at this time.

Being a very happy ebiker over the last couple of years I can reassure you that you won't be wasting your money IF you get the right bike with the right back up and heritage. It will change your life...

What about a Whoosh Big Bear Plus? A little more expensive but you would have support after your purchase. It is a well proven bike and I guess would be perfect for your needs

I too have a Raleigh Motus Grand Tour. With a 400w battery I have never fallen below 40 miles range in Tour mode, whatever the season. I don't think I have ever dropped be low 50 miles in fairness. I love my Raleigh so have no hesitation in recommending the Centros. I have no experience of the...

I replaced the seized (and always crap) Zoom suspension post a couple of days ago on my Motus for a XRC Pro. I just couldn't quite justify the cost of the Suntour post, particularly as I do not ride off road. I just wanted to get the worst of the road bumps gone. Went down the 27.2mm route with...

I never got on with, or fully trusted my supermarket stand for my e bike. It was fine for lighter bikes, but my step through e bike made things more problematic. I couldn't trust the clamp on the saddle post. I took a deep breath and got the basic Park Tools job. The PCS 9. Whilst not perfect...

Just got a Cube Elly Ride 400 for my wife. She is absolutely in love with it and pushes to ride it everyday (we are observing strict lockdown conditions, but take the children on a daily 8 to 10 mile ride). The bike seems beautifully built. I hope you have a lot of fun with your new Cube when...

I got my wife one of these a year or so ago for her old bike. Comes in various colours but the turquoise matches her new Cube very well, so I transferred it across. This is a big bell with a sound reminiscent of a bell from an old sailing ship... Nothing will penetrate the self obsessed...

I have a very happy wife! Her new bike arrived today and we have just come back from our first ride. She loves it! We had to carry out a minor modification to the seat post (as even with the saddle completely lowered it was a touch too high for her 5'6"), but other than that the bike arrived in...

Hello! Funnily enough, I was just looking at the Whoosh folder whilst queuing outside my local Boots just now. It looked a very smart little bike, that was full of shopping with basket style panniers on either side. Obviously used for utility... I don't understand (and forgive me for being...

I would say you are over thinking things. Never had a problem with chain breaks or any of the other things you fear. The biggest problem is the rate of chain wear (no difference I believe, whether you have hub or derailleur gears). I go through chains at the rate of about every 1500 miles. This...

Thank you for that and yes, will do! I have ordered it from Wiggle and it is due to arrive in mid April. Shame on me for ordering on line, but our local Cube dealer does not give a stuff about customer service, so I had no hesitation from ordering online in this case. I will let you know how it...

I read this forum religously. Many people buy Bosch powered bikes on here and are very happy with them. Me being one. I would have considered a Woosh bike, but I have to buy to the wants of the customer, in this case my wife. She wants style as well as an easy ride and with all due respect to...

With due respect, I started this thread just to have a little fun, to say how much my wife enjoyed riding an ebike for the first time and that I have chosen to surprise her with an ebike of her own. If Bosch is the source of true evil in the cycling universe, perhaps it might be worth setting...

I love my current bike with a Bosch ALP, so far over 3000 miles with no motor problems. So based on my own experience, I was happy to take the plunge again. Time will tell if I have chosen poorly.

With two young children, I feel it is important to get them outside for the allowed exercise. Cycling is perfect, as it naturally keeps them apart from people. So we went for a family cycle ride and I am choosing hilly routes to get the kid's hearts pumping. They are loving it, but my wife not...

I hope you have as much fun and use with yours as I do with mine!

Good morning all. This thread has certainly derailed itself from the original topic. Would it not be worth setting up a separate thread regarding suspension? It is interesting hearing the views of you learned folk, but by having the discussion under a relevant thread title, it will make it...
