New Cube electric bikes from ChainReactionCycles

[piotrmacheta]

Came across these new babies. Stealth battery? Don't know if they're any good but it's a big looking hub and lovely styled bike. What a choice we have now compared to a few years ago.
Apologies if someones already spotted this.

Nice bike.

Not that stealthy though, it's easy to wonder why the tube below the seat is so big. And that's also where the battery is usually placed.

I like the look of these and weight of ladies 18.7kg which is nice...I just wonder how much adjustment there is on the seat. Motor looks similar to the Stork......

I'm impressed by the thought of saving weight by applying the transfers to wet paint ... or is it just that my brain doesn't work too well on Mondays?

Same thought crossed my mind as well.

No mention of battery size and I think the motor is the same as the Stork. Would like to see the handlebar layout as well.

The only thing that would put me off this bike apart from the price is some reliance on bespoke parts like the front derailleur hanger and rear rack mounting options including seat post.....also I would sacrifice a bit of weight for some decent front suspension.

Yes, it is the same Swiss motor that's n the Storck.

As an aside, Chain Reaction Cycles have now become the biggest online bike components supplier in the world, not bad for a Northern Ireland based business.

Hi fellow e-bike enthusiasts.

Just to clarify, the motor in the Cube bike is manufactured under a Storck license, is less powerful and heavier than that used on Storck Multitask and Multiroad bikes. The EU speed limiter is also mapped slightly differently too and comes in with a more noticable thump. So, whilst it looks very similar (in terms of motor casing) to that used by Storck Bicycles, it is a different motor.

I hope this helps.

The guys at Storck are working on a revised battery pack that would fit on a comfort and ladies step through frame. I cannot confirm production / delivery dates at this stage, but as soon as I know, I will post here.

We translated the video a few months ago and it basically says the Storck Multiitask Raddar bike delivers a very smooth power delivery, exceptionally quite via the Swiss built motor and rides very well even with the system switched off.
