Thank you all for your answers. It seems that fazua is more suitable if you want to go ballistic with saving weight on very high end machines and short rides. Or like cazrack said, on pure road / gravel rides.
Wondering why there are is no much interest about emtb's using the fazua motor. They seem to be the ideal middle ground between the too much and the too little. Plus you can take the motor out!
The faster you go off road, the more suspension travel you will appreciate having. The 120 bikes apart from lower suspension, they have longer chainstays (which makes them more stable) and a lower seat height (which makes them more suitable for everyday riding).
So the question to ask yourself...
I agree with the op. We are now living an intermediate era of ebikes. They are heavy without enough power or enough speed or enough range range. Some of that is due to technology and some due to regulations. The current 20+kg breed of ebikes makes sense only if you have motor support up to about...
I ride a 750w bafang converted mtb with no speed restriction that puts out about 120nm of torque on a 1x8sp drivetrain. A few thousands of miles later the drivetrain is like new. It does not see any mud though since I hate the stuff. I have a few theories about the unsuitability of 10+ speed...
I detest all ready made ebikes. I am all in for analogue bike conversions even if they have no torque sensors. Long live bafang.
Opppps I am in the wrong thread!
Cubes have their own patern design stand that bolts onto the left chainstay. It is very sturdy and has adjustable length. I have one for my "hyde". You should be able to find it in their website.
It seems that most problems are with motor sealing and bearings. Industry knows very well how to address these issues. But when most consumers think the way you do, there is clearly no rush for better quality. We drive changes and we clearly do not give a rats ass.
