I've had a crossfire-e since last August, used daily for the commute to work (12 mile round trip, one big hill), on full assist (no sweat !), and recharge every night, using a timer plug set to 4 hours (...

So hows the £10 Schwalbes on the Cube any different to the £10 Schwalbe Rapid Robs they put on the Haibike Sduro SL29 ?

You're comparing a Delite which retail at £4k+ with a bike that's half that price ? Quality bikes as you put it do cost much more because they use more expensive components, you don't get that for free you pay for it in the cost of the bike. I wouldn't expect to change the tyres on a £4k+ bike...

Seriously, your judging the other components by something that everyone changes on every bike after buying ? The bike must be crap, it's got a £2 bell on it lol

It's great what you see out and about, I stumbled across a vintage tractor ploughing competition the other day, sat on my bike peering over the hedge of a country lane in the middle of nowhere for a good half hour, surprisingly captivating

I think the cube is well specced for the money If it was my £2k I'd get the slightly 'touring' version of your choice, this one http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Cube-Cross-Hybrid-Pro-Allroad-500-2017-Electric-Bike_97468.htm It's a shame you couldn't of used one of their £300 off easter vouchers (£2k+)...

Welcome jonjoe to the forum and crossfire-e owners club ;) Glad you're loving the bike, looks like you've got some great countryside to explore on it. I've had mine since August last year, and have just clocked up 2k miles. Use it commute to work daily, never let me down, plus 45-50 mile day...

Looking good, seems to hold up well. Perhaps Halfords should replace their lame video on their site with this one lol Yours for £1k minus discounts/flash sales (British Cycling 10% off etc), ideal for the cycle2work scheme...

Look no further than these Schwalbe Energisers, not a single puncture in over 2000 miles, and only 10.99 each at SJS (much more expensive everywhere else). I run the 700 x 35 and they are great, good grip, even in winter, and really low rolling resistance for a puncture proof tyre...

Nice one oggie, hope you enjoy the bike. Good choice on the tyres. My crossfire-e is stock, apart from me changing the tyres (Schwalbe Energisers) adding a mirror and pannier rack. I also run one of these, which ensures I can leave it charging in the garage, for the right time and knowing it...

and if you can get that on the cycle2work scheme even better. Despite it's niggles, I still think it's a cracking bike. Yes I've had the cutouts, and lost a few spokes, no biggy, still a great ride for not much cash. Mines just clocked over 3K km since Aug last year

Probably getting confused with the new Carrera Vulcan which does have 27.5" wheels http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bikes/electric-bikes/carrera-vulcan-electric-mountain-bike

the crossfire-e has 700c (29") wheels, not 27.5

You won't regret it, £ for £ it's a great bike. Use mine daily to commute, all throughout the winter, rain, ice, gales, it's been great. Do 50 mile touring rides at the weekend too, can't keep off it !

Hope they keep the crossfire-e bike, it's quite different, more hybrid than this one, plus there's no step through frame style (ladies) in this new bike. However, this is a great looking bike, and if Halfords do the 20% off all bike promo they did last summer, plus the BC discount, it's a lotta...

Ready to buy now http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bikes/electric-bikes/carrera-vulcan-electric-mountain-bike?cm_re=ebikes-_-mountain-_-vulcan

6km, hence the '6'..have tried it, and it is about that...good luck with the mod attempt, but I would love to find a way to increase the cut out speed to about 20mph

It would appear some crossfire-e users get occasional cut-out of the power, normally resolved by removing the battery for a few seconds, I've had it about a dozen times in 1600 miles, hasn't put me off the bike one bit, great bit of kit for the money

Reckon it'll sell, especially when they do their 10% off everything flash sales, add british cycling membership discount on top, so looking at £800 ish. I have the crossfire-e and would happily buy a MTB version. Can put up with the odd cut-out issue, no biggy
