I set up my van with the Ecoflow Delta 2 max and 2 200W Renogy Solar panels.
I did a roadtrip around Italy Spain and Portugal in February till April this year and the setup worked brilliantly. I also set up the system so I could charge the Ecoflow whilst driving. Never had a problem.
Just saw this post.
Cube does not pre-wire bikes for lights so you have to buy the special cabled for front and back separately.
Treck does / or did a few years ago when I added lights to my bike (cube) and my wife's Treck.
As with the light activation, sorry I can't answer that, I have a 2020...
I agree with what has been said about the SealSkinz. I also have problems with Reynaud's syndrome and that's the reason I bought them. Mine are too tight, I bought my size, but they are hard to get on or off.
If the weather is not too cold you sweat in the things and then I can't get them off...
I live in Bavaria Germany, and the cops here are mostly not pleasant to deal with from my experience. They don't give warnings! So, I normally try to do things by the books. That said, my son used a self-made numberplate on his carrier recently and wasn't stopped. But maybe he wasn't seen.
Looks cool. Unfortunately, not allowed in Europe as the bikes are obscuring your lights and number plate. Tht's why all the tow ball carriers over here have lights and a number plate on them.
I have a city bike I built with Gates drivetrain. I need to replace my Hub and switch from Sram to Shimano. Unfortunately I have to replace all components as I had an old system which is no longer supported.
That sh.t is expensive!
Well I was surprised anyway.
A CDX belt costs about €100
Totally enjoying mine also.
The only negative thing I can say against them, is that as they are metal, when you lean your bike against something hard like a stone wall, house wall or a car, then you have to be more careful. Plastic or rubber ends for that purpose might be good. Just an idea.
Make sure the bike is from a local dealer, as if anything goes wrong with the motor, you need to be able to go to your dealer.
Bosch, Shimano, Brose are all good. Try to avoid cheap no name stuff.
For my wife a dropper post gave her heaps more confidence as going downhill, she can drop the seat...
I'm a bit late to the party here. One thing I consider to be essential is a dropper post. My wife had an accident on her first emtb without a dropper as she messed up her braking and couldn't properly reach the ground with her feet. I got a new Cube for her with good components and a dropper...
As already mentioned, up to 2000m climb is no problem on an e-bike as long as you limit yourself to eco or tour (Bosch Motor). It is tempting to up the power and up the speed, but then you can't do the climbs.
Just remember the slower you go, the further you can go, as you have more time to add...
