I am thinking through converting a bike to an ebike and wondering about the pros and cons of suspension versus rigid fork. I know that the likes of the Giant Roam have a basic front suspension but is even a basic front suspension better than a rigid fork for an ebike? I notice that most of the...

It is gorgeous isn't it? I am surprised that you think it is heavy. It is just under 12 kilos which seems light for a hybrid. There is a video on youtube of a woman unboxing one - looks fabulous. But there is only the one etailer who will send it to the UK and they do not get good trustpilot...

Hi folks, I am a 6 foot tall, 12.5 stone bloke who has been riding a 2007 Specialised Globe ladies step-through bike, with a rear rack for my pannier bags, as a shopping biker for several years. It is 49cm / 19 inches but I really could do with it being a good inch or two bigger in the seat...

No, not yet. I am laid up with bronchitis at the moment so everything has gone on hold. I had a look at some in my local Tredz a few weeks back that were on sale but they had the CX motor as opposed to the ALP one. Plus, when asking about a test ride, they told me to contact them to arrange...

How much did you pay in the end Stu?

Please let us know how the Ortliebs work out. I am torn between this wider built-in rack on the Cube and the more standard rack that the Cube also comes with. Alas, the latter appears to be only supported by the bottom of the chainstay and not with additional fixings near the top of the...

I noticed that the US guy who does those electricbikereivews on youtube raves about the Intuvia display over the Purion - he says that the buttons clicks easier or better on the Intuvia. Whilst the Intuvia looks nice I do wonder about it's ruggeness re the accidental dropping of the bike...

Cannondale have a road e-bike out now. The below video shows it being ridden up the Italian Alps. I was interested to see that it has an Active Line Plus motor.

Your bike has a better rack IIRC - sturdier, built into the frame and probably capable of heavier load. Just another point for folks to consider I guess.

Andy, are you definitely sure that yours is the 2019 model and not 2018? I can't see any difference between the year models except price. If yours is 2019 you got a great deal. I would be inclined to hold out for a similar price. A friend bought an Orbea non ebike mtb recently for half price...

So being 6 foot 1 and a 35 inch inside leg the 54cm is big enough for you. Thanks. Yep, I would have my doubt about a 58cm frame with my 6 foot height and 33ish inside leg. I find lots of people in my LBS's to be roadies and they seem to be forever using road bike sizing as a general rule. I...

Out of interest, what inside leg measurement do you have? Is it the cross bar or the trapeze frame that you have? I am surprised that the bike shop is recommending 58cm for @ammonite. That sounds big for a 33 inch leg. I would not fancy lifting my 34 inch leg over the 58cm frame, especially if...

That rack uses a seatpost attachment doesn't it? How much weight do you carry on that rack? Lovely photo.

Thanks - just what I was looking for. Alas, it suggests that the biggest sized Trapeze - the 54cm - is considered to be a size below what I need. Drat. 58cm seems too big though I suspect.

I am in a similar position to ammonite - looking for an e-bike that can cope with the numerous hills of Swansea plus able to help ride into the often frequent headwinds on the Swansea foreshore cycle path. I also want a rack of some sort so that I am able to carry my pannier bags / shopping. I...

Hi folks, First time poster, just joined the forum, was about to post the same question(s) as Shropshire Fred so hope you don't mind me joining in on here. I watched Andy's review on youtube a few days ago. Really enjoyed it. It was nice to get a Brit's review of the Cube e-bike. There is an...
