Hi folks!
I'm new nearby, so don't know if this is right section for opening a new thread. If I'm wrong please forgive me (or change thread location plz!)
Anyway, I'm Claudio, from Italy, those days the covid is hitting hard in my region, so I just wanted to pass my mind away, a bit, and talking about more joyful stuff!
Just the day before the lockdown, I tried and decided to buy a CUBE Acid Hybrid Pro (2019, second hand, it was a rent/bike), with an Active Line Plus motor and 500Watt battery, and 1200Km in total made by the bike. But, obviously, the bike is still at the shop, anyway, I couldn't use it anymore, so just dreaming a bit !
I had time those days for reading about this motor, and as many, I wanted to be sure that a CX wouldn't have been better. I had the opportunity of trying a MTB Cannondale with bosch CX for a week, and the motor really pushes a lot (my first time ever on an ebike). What pleased me of the ALP (just a short try indeed), is that it's smoother, and I feel like I can still put a lot of effort if I want to. And then it's not noisy at all, so hopefully will do the job.
The bike (when life will be back to normal) should be used for a 25Km communting, one way, with a D+ 400m way back. Mixed terrain, with I'd say 1/3 in the woods (white roads and few muddy sections, but only if I want to) and 2/3 italian countryside roads, so not always perfect!
I know this post is not a lot of questions, but still I've doubts (as usual) if it's the right choice. This was just for showing me and having maybe a few tips back!
Thanks for the community anyway, very helpful!
PS sorry for European units, if I should have used miles and feet, please report
