    E-Bike storage?

    This may (Or may not, who knows) be a 'stupid' or 'noob ' question but..... I have recently built a shed in which I hope to store my bike along with usual Shed stuff, gardening tools, powerwash, etc, etc. A guy at work said he had to move his back into his garage as, in his words, 'Started to...

    Woo-Hoo!!

    Will indeed Stradaman just waiting for my new shed and I'll be using it a lot more, stored at my old man's at the moment so not quite as convenient to use.

    Woo-Hoo!!

    Well after getting my brand new Cube Acid One approximately 2-3 weeks ago I FINALLY managed to get out on it today, albeit only for about an hour WOW I must've been grinning all the way round brilliant I kept it in 'Tour' trying Turbo and Sport only briefly, and it was just SO much fun...

    SO....this arrived tonight

    Hi Philip, to be totally honest with you...I've yet to actually ride it! had it nearly two weeks and just due to work commitments, weather, family, generally life I simply haven't had a chance to get out on it It's the 2019 500 Model and looks really nice, seems to have good reviews and as...

    SO....this arrived tonight

    Not looking at being super fit but if I can get about mostly on eco mode I'll be happy, I haven't had a chance to get out on the bike yet but, just wheeling it about the garage tells me it'll be pretty heavy to push without some kind of assistance

    Noob question

    As I've never had any kind of suspension on a bike before (Yes I'm that old) wondering if there's any tips for setting my front fork suspension up on my new bike? Just a starter for ten would do, it's a Cube Hybrid Acid One with SR Suntour forks (I know they're not the best but perfectly...

    SO....this arrived tonight

    I understand the comments about not standing, "cheaty" etc, but I hope to use the e-bike power levels as a tool to get me fitter, so what I'm hoping to do is on varying gradients use maybe not as much assistance (Not totally off probably as it's a fairly heavy bike anyway) to push myself harder...

    SO....this arrived tonight

    Cheers I'll have a look tomorrow, not particularly bothered but never ridden with suspension and I used to be out of the saddle when hill climbing it would be nice to lock out, to be honest the review i saw for this had it triggered by a switch on the handlebars, but this was a Canadian model so...

    SO....this arrived tonight

    My brand new, and first Pedelec arrived tonight. (Cube Acid One) Haven’t tried it yet and the battery is on charge as I text. First impressions, I love the whole package, pretty sleek, nice understated colour scheme and graphics (Not one for ‘standing out from the crowd’) heavy although probably...

    Sit or stand?

    So despite the motor assist it won't make any difference that's what I was hoping as I couldn't see standing up and extra effort making that much of a difference in performance, it was just something I'd read on other reviews/sites that suggested it made a difference.

    Sit or stand?

    Once again apologies if this is in the wrong category As I'm still waiting for delivery of my bike, and being new to Pedelecs, I'm doing a lot of reading on the subjects of best ways to ride them? Gears in favour of motor and vice versa, and the one I'm interested in is when climbing hills. As a...

    The roads made me do it!

    Ditto, I'm awaiting one of these myself and tbh am surprised at the lack of general reviews out there yet they seem quite popular or are at least favourably mentioned in the forums.

    ‘Dongle’

    I’ve come across the word ‘Dongle’ on here a few times, exactly what is it, what does it do or used for?

    Cheers for the reply and comments, I'd forgotten mudguards although I prefer without if I'm commuting (particularly winter) it makes sense to have some, maybe an unobtrusive easily removable pair.
