Try Rutland Cycling, Grand Arcade Cambridge. They supplied my daughter with a Gazelle recently (not the one you are after).

A publicity stunt, unfortunately one that will resonate with a certain type. The irony of somebody who makes his living getting speeding Premier League footballers piloting two and a half ton Range Rovers off on technicalities being righteous about naughty cyclists is not lost on me.

You might be conflating scooters and e-scooters - not to say that isn't convenient for Halfords! This is the e-scooter landing page which does carry a warning, as if anybody would spend £400 - £500 on a scooter to go up and down their drive... https://www.halfords.com/scooters/electric-scooters/

The bar on the Cube was a straight 700mm riser on a 110mm stem. Quite high too, and I felt a little bit as if I was riding a Highland cow. I get a bit of wrist pain and I also need to keep my cervical spine reasonably straight, and I find my daughters Gazelle (very Dutch style) really...

I suspect there aren't that many people who have proper experience of both mid-drive and hub drive, and purchase decisions are made on other criteria - price being a major one, A mainly cost-driven decision will tend to result in a hub-drive purchase. I have never ridden a hub-drive - although...

I'm 178cm tall and my Cube is size M/54cm. According the the sizing tool I am in the top half of the range for that size BUT is about as big as I can manage. I can get a comfortable riding position, but I suspect I might have been better with size S/50cm. The actual standover height on mine...

There are people here better equipped to advise, but it will probably help if you can say what use you have in mind - e.g. commuting, touring, trekking or whatever and what style of bike you had in mind. And yourself - young and athletic, or past it and slightly overweight like me?

I spotted that. Fitted a RAW wide mudflap, does a good job of keeping spray off the motor and downtube, neither has collected any noticeable muck. Needed a bit of modification as the mudguard stay fixing is in the way, but nothing difficult. If that's all that's stopping you, get it bought. I...

I'm not sure how current this is, the article is recent, but it suggests if you are thinking of starting a mass market bike brand you should look to Taiwan for quality frames. Cube is a big brand with a good reputation and I expect they will try not to lose it. That, basically, is where the...

They certainly make the most of the German brand. I assumed my Cube e-bike frame, and most of the parts, were made in China. The clues were (1) pretty much all everyday manufacturing takes place in China anyway, and (2) Cube say "Designed and Engineered in Germany". Mine came from Bikester...

As I have also found with the Gen.3 ALP on my 2021 Cube - I've only heard the motor faintly at low speed, in low gears, up hills. A 10-12mph slipstream, anything other than a completely smooth road or the least amount of traffic noise makes it inaudible. I am also astonished at how natural it...

No trouble. Cardiac rehab for me was very worthwhile, and gave me some confidence when I was seriously worried about exercising. You are clearly a much more experienced cyclist than I am, although in fairness to myself I have probably never been up to touring since I was a youngster - I've...

Trying to tease out this torque to power relationship... when e.g. Bosch says its ALP motor provides 50Nm torque, where is that? At the motor shaft, the crank shaft, or the axle of the driven wheel? It has to be the crankshaft to make any sense at all doesn't it? Gearing between motor shaft...

I have never ridden a hub drive so I can't give a comparsion. I have a Bosch mid-drive with the Active Line Plus engine, nominally 50Nm. The (presumably maximum if the engine is trque-limited) torque addition levels are +40%, +100%, +180%, +270% for Eco, Tour, Sport and Turbo modes...

I don't know how pertinent it is, but Dag1 says he has an H9.

I was about to post to say I would rather just let it lie, but then I wouldn't be letting it lie. Damn. The day I start trading put-downs on the internet I'll give up altogether, but some people think that is what 'social media' are for. And I rather admire Greta Thunberg. "Extinction...

What's good for 5 million Scots should go for 5 million in Yorkshire who have even less representation at Westminster. There are actually slightly more people in Yorkshire than in Scotland, and they have 54 MPs at Westminster vs. Scotland's 59. Of course you could say much the same for any...

What an ass, beeping at a cyclist trying to get moving. Needs a punch in the cake hole. And I'm a pacifist. I have been caught out of course, finding myself in top gear, but if I'm likely to need a quick get away I pick a middling one beforehand and press the + button a couple of times in...

What's done can be undone, but it could take a long time and we'll almost certainly have lost NI & Scotland by then. Not in my lifetime I guess. Meanwhile, sounds a sensible move from Wisper if the EU is a bigger market for them which seems likely. Much better for selling into the EU customs...

What happened to this, did it ever appear? Isn't the BMS in the battery pack? So still in the equation? Is the main issue about if and how often it is necessary to charge the battery fully to trigger the balancing? I still wouldn't connect it to a £700+ Bosch battery without a full and...
