    Is there a smart charger for Bosch Batteries?

    Hi All, I was reading an article on charging e-bike batteries and extending the life of batteries and it got me thinking if there is a charger out there that I can set to only charge to 80% (or any set %) and then stop automatically? I rarely use more than 80%. Also wondering if there is an app...

    Stereo Hybrid 140 thoughts on stem length

    Over the summer I have been thinking how I can improve the handling of my Stereo Hybrid 140 SL (not that there is anything really wrong with it already). One thing I had noticed is the steering was a little “slow” or not as direct as I have been used to on previous bikes. At the weekend I...

    Maximum Insertion Length Stereo Hybrid 140

    Does anyone know the maximum insertion length of a Cube Stereo Hybrid 140? I also took a look at the outer cable installed and it’s horribly twisted and without end caps so it looks damaged. Anyone replaced this cable (inner/outer)? I will search Youtube for a video as well.

    Dropper Post Failure

    Hey all, anyone else have issue with the Cube Branded dropper post. After 400km mine has stopped working. I took it apart and the cartridge is dead and this is a sealed unit so can do no more with it. Bike 24 are accepting to take it back under warranty to be tested (by Cube) but minimum time is...

    Hi All, anyone have a recommendation for a floor stand to use while cleaning your bike? One that will fit EMTB tire widths. I am sick of scratching my grips leaning the bike against the wall. I have a Park Tool stand for maintenance but want a "quick" option for after a ride that could also...

    I really hate battery lock and keys

    This is really just a rant about stupid lock and key for the battery on my Cube. Drove 35 mins to trails only to remember I left the key for the battery at home (taken battery out for putting on the rack). I wonder if a can cut the key and make a way to turn it with a multitool so I can just...

    Invisiframe = Need Patience

    I started to install an Invisiframe kit onto my new eMTB (Cube) and oh my god is it a pain in the ass, lol. 100% I should have paid for installation, it's not worth pulling my hair out and the time it takes, especially with my 15 month year old running around. The first piece is said to install...

    Hi all, I am stocking up on cleaning and maintenance supplies and came across this Gear Floss™ Microfiber Rope. Has anyone used it?

    Stereo Hybrid 140 vs 160

    This probably going to get some stick, but I am looking at Cube now as Specialized are messing me about and now longer replying to my emails. Any thoughts on the 140 vs 160 for Trail use - No big jumps, No Downhill. I heard some anecdotal evidence of the Cube Stereo Hybrid being a little bit...

    Hi All, newbie from Ireland

    Been mulling over buying an Emtb since a friend of mine in Italy bought a Kenevo in 2016. After a number of serious injuries (not been on my bike since Dec2016) I am taking the plunge into eMTB. Ordered a Turbo Levo last year and now waiting (and waiting.lol) for its delivery. Been glued to...
