2021 cube stereo battery cover

[billwarwick]

Just been to get the bike ready to go out. No battery cover! Must have fallen off last time out and that was on nothing too rugged, mainly tarmac. Anybody else lost one and know where to get a replacement. Have bodged a cover out of an old mudguard for today but need to replace it ASAP.

Same happened to me and I called the store I purchased from and they ordered me one .
About £40 and the model/part number on the invoice is 18-05597.
hope this helps ?

Thanks.. Ive ordered one too but its taking ages. What model is yours? 120, 140,or160? I think the frames are slightly different. was the release push button fixed to the cover when it arrived? Ive been told its a separate item and that is what is causing the delay.
im going to cable tie it in place when it arrives so that I don't lose it again!

Mine came with out the lock which is thought was a bit silly to be honest but I ordered that retrospectively at a cost of an extra £20.

Ive also ordered some long Velcro re useable zip ties that I will tie around the cover and down tube for when I’m out in case it works loose again .

Hi there new to the emtb scene and I got a my cube 160 2021 had the same issue.
ive now lost the battery cover. The shop I bought it from has zero aftercare which is annoying.Would you mind sharing where you got the cover and latch mechanism from?

Hi and welcome. Its annoying, isn't it? I got mine from where I bought the bike. Leisure Wheels, Hemel Hempstead. I think that you will have to go through an authorised Cube dealer as they have to order parts from Germany, which takes ages.
You need to get the right part number to start with. My bike is the 120 which is a different cover to the 140 and 160. If the 140 and 160 are the same , the part number is 18-05597, as mentioned above.
The latch mechanism is a separate part, which you will also have to order.
Try google as well. I found some third party parts in Romania, Slovakia, etc but nobody replied to emails.
You will have a wait of several weeks, so you will need to protect the battery in the meantime, as all the crap from the front wheel goes straight onto the battery area. I used a front mudguard [ the type that fits onto the downtube], cable ties, and some gorilla tape. it doesn't look great , but keeps the crap out.
I think the first step is making sure that you are ordering the correct part number. Maybe someone on here has the 160 and could have a look for you.
Also of course, once you get the new cover, secure it with something so it doesn't come off again. The problem must be with the latch not clicking in properly I think.
Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

 

[billwarwick]

This is the type of mudguard that I used

Thanks I found one seller who was just selling the cover without the latch and they have it in stock. I suppose I could use that and just use tape to hold in in place for the meantime.
Shame as it’s a great bike but a bit surprised that the cover came off so easily.

Try emailing these guys. They were helpful in sourcing one for me. [email protected]

They are authorised cube sellers

Thanks everyone. In the end I was able to speak to someone from cycle solutions who was an absolute legend and sourced me one from a demo bike!
really nice guy who informed me that the latch mechanism is comprised of 7 parts which cube sell individually from the cover itself which makes ordering not quite so straightforward.
Anyway I’m now sorted so should be back riding soon.

That’ll be German over-engineering then!
Glad I wasn’t the only one, it’s obviously a thing though.

Anyone have the part number or site to grab the latch mechanism for us blokes in Australia that are kept in the dark due to crap LBS support. As none of the bikes shops here can find a part listed under that part number above.

My mate has a Cube Acid (?) Hardtail. The cover used to rattle driving him (and I) mad. I cut an inner tube and put it between battery and cover. Fits very snuggly and doesn’t rattle and I guess less likely to fall off. Looks slightly better than a strap.

Have a look on this:

Hope can help you

Try an email to one of the companies mentioned earlier in the thread. They might be able to supply part numbers. Sounds like the latch comprises of seven different components which is nuts.

Sorry, replied without reading the post with the diagram. So it would be no13 on the list.

 

[ruppia]

And of course no15

15 is the plastic cover. Think he was only after the latch. But thanks, the diagram will be really helpful for folks??Think the latch will be for all models (120, 140, 160) but the 120 has a different part no for the cover.
