I probably send it a bit more than the average rider and I destroyed my lower headset bearing quickly. Replaced it with a cane creek bearing and it’s been great since.
I installed the light after running the wire, wasn’t too difficult to run the wire using some old plastic tubing as a pull once getting it through. Took the bike to a Bosch dealer and that’s where things didn’t go so great. They activated the port like I had asked and also set the wattage to 18w...
I just recently ordered a magic shine handlebar light to hardwire to the Bosch CX motor. I’ve heard some companies prewire the light cable and hide in the frame. Does anyone know if cube does this? I have no issues doing wiring being a mechanic but just curious how far I’d be tearing into this...
I just noticed that the stop block inside was not a very snug fit and could easily be turned once you’re up against it. I have since replaced my lower headset bearing and crown race eliminating the knock block my lower headset bearing had come apart internally because they’re cheap junk...
It is honestly working great. I mostly take the bike to a local “DH” park but also ride all my local trails with some steep climbs just fine. I think going to a 160mm would make it climb a tad better but it really descends well and doesn’t feel any longer in the front end than my YT Capra 29 is...
It rides well in the DH and fast trails but you can tell it’s not as good at climbing the steep stuff but it still gets the job done and after all it’s an e bike so it’s still light years better than climbing my analog bike. I really want an angle set for up front to drop the front of the bike...
Enjoyed a nice 12 mile ride this morning with a few slick spots along the way to keep me on my toes. Slipped off a short skinny bridge and bent my rear rotor real bad. Luckily I had my multi tool and stuck the rotor between a couple allens to grab the rotor and straighten it enough to finish the...
I had a loose battery cover and adjusted the top screw to make it a little bit of a tighter fit, also had the battery tray coke loose in the frame, very common. Rebid the battery lock and tightened the bolt up. I do have some kind of cream when seated and pedaling but have not figured out where...

Happy I finally cleared this jump line clean. It’s short but the jumps are big and the Cube handles it nicely.
I had my battery charging while the bike was in the stand today, went to unplug the chord and the socket pulled out of the flange. Pooped it back in, no problem. Found that if there was any kind of weight or side load on the socket when unplugging, the socket would pop out with the chord. I...
I know how to do it all I just was not prepared. It’s always the close to home rides where I pack light and think all will be fine. I’ve been a Moto, Diesel, equipment technician for most of my life. I did buy a nifty combo tool with chain breaker but quickly learned it was a fake knockoff and...
How my ride went yesterday around 8 miles in with 3-4 miles left. Snapped the video after pushing on the road for a bit when I was almost back to the car.

I haven’t got much time on my Emtb yet but I’m hoping it will help with some health goals. I have a knee that’s botched since I was 19 years old and it likes to flair up after only a couple miles of riding. Hoping the e bike will let me work on cadence with less stress on my knee and put in some...
