Really enjoying the bike - really good integration of the motor even if the front fork is a bit low rent for a £2500 bike. On the flat though my cadence is too high and I generally live on the tiny rear cog. For me it's all too low geared - I did the steepest slope around (Castell Coch) and I'm...

I have one of these and had to set the gears all up from scratch despite it being built by the bike shop - it was quite a sh** first ride! There are some good videos on you tube on how to do this - its slow and fiddly first time so take your time and see how all the controls interact. Make...

Actually - just found these at half the cost and OE made so bound to fit. https://www.wheelbase.co.uk/product/accessories/mudguards/cube-acid-mudguard-set-mtb-75-with-stays/

Did you need an extra part to connect the stays to the front shock? These: https://www.rutlandcycling.com/accessories/mudguards/sks-direct-straight-fork-mount_374546

They are good for 29" x 2.6" tyres and seem to do a good job of protecting the battery upfront and the crank mech at rear from splashes - ugly as they are! I might buy a set (so very expensive in UK...) but do I need the little adapters that screw into the lugs on the front shock mounting I...

Wow that is still a lot higher than I imagined so thanks for the research. Causation is easy to speculate on, but as you say it's all bad news all round at the end of the day. And my bell was in overdrive yesterday on shared paths...

That wasn't OP? I'm in Cardiff and there is a plethora of new roadsigns stating 20mph in urban areas. Many of them are perfectly valid on residential roads and busy shopping areas and are a good thing. I believe it is a nationwide Welsh policy. As usual traffic adheres to them where they are...

Not sure recommending people buy ICE motorbikes is the best solution to allowing ebikes to do an easily safe and doable 20mph in 20 zones? Just keeping up in traffic as the playing field has been levelled down would be a safety plus. 15mph isn't really the average speed on a flat in my...

Sanctimonious supercilious pompousness isn't very Christmassy towards victims of crime! I have an Abus Granit D lock for casual 'pop into 1 shop' quick use and if i'm doing a job on site for a while and it has onsite out of sight bike parking i take my HUGE heavy motorbike chain and lock with...

Just got my first e-bike and it is blindingly clear that a 20mph limit is required. Most residential areas in Wales are now 20mph so to be able to do that allows you to match traffic. Also most peoples cruising speed is a little higher on the flat. I find my 25kg e-bike is happy at 18mph and...

Thanks VFR - much appreciated. A minefield so I bought a Cube e-MTB :)

Bump... Maybe I'm asking too much - if so apologies...

Been looking at converting one of my bikes for months now but never feel confident to order any kit - so many gotchas between brake levers to disk clearance and I don’t know if I have a freewheel 9 speed cassette or not or if the bottom crank measurements spec are width or diameter or if the...

How did you get on - its these absolute 'gotchas' that are preventing me from pushing the button :-(
