Hey - a short action clip from my local rooty trails.

I have a cube 160. In under a year 1xframe warranty and 1xmotor warranty. But at least it was "only 4200€". If i had the money for spesh then I would still buy 2 Cubes so I will have something other to ride when it breaks.

I did my first ride with Amplifi E-Track 23 and 625 battery inside today. Weight was much lighter than I expected and I absolutely loved the bag. It did not change the riding experience at all. Whatever bag you get - proper big waist straps are the key - these take the weight off your...

Amplifi E-Track 23 with 625 battery inside. Bag+battery together weighs 5.4 kg. I added the white velcro to keep the top of battery secured. Have not ridden yet.

Adding gearbox would make the motor even bigger. Who would want that?

A pipe clamp around the handlebar and some zip ties. Ghetto style but very solid.

Bought a frame that's too small for you?

I finally got my replacement frame for Cube 160. Took 2 months and constant mail bombing the reseller. Let's see if that frame lasts any longer...

Photo of rear engine mount that snapped off. This thing would not be strong enough even for a city bike. Let alone a 160mm "enduro" weapon. I also discovered that my frame appears to be about 1mm wider (than engine brackets) at rear mounts, so when the mounts are tightened, it squeezes the...

I had the exact same motor mount break off after about 700 km. There is no carbon around that bolt hole. It looks like it entirely consists of that epoxy resin or whatever they use in making frames. I was super surprised to discover that the rear motor mounts are so tiny and slim. Currently...
