Hi all,
I'm looking to pick up a 2nd-hand factory refurbished from www.rebike.ch and have, for the moment, narrowed it down to the following:
2023 Ghost E-Riot AM AL: https://rebike.com/ch/ghost-e-riot-am-al-essential-fully-e-bike-2023-270831?number=270831&height=190
2023 Focus Sam2 6.8: https://rebike.com/ch/focus-sam-68-fully-e-bike-2023-270688?number=270688&height=190
2023 Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 HPC: https://rebike.com/ch/cube-stereo-h...chrome-750-wh-274572?number=274572&height=190
For info, I'm not into super-technical trails, bump-tracks and the like, I ride mostly fire roads and single trails with the odd root and rocky patches thrown in. Berms, big jumps, and drop-offs are definitely not on the agenda for this ageing coward.
Of the 3, what would you choose?
 
I believe that you could find a new 2025 bike in a similar price range (end of the season20% discounts I am seeing on Cube one77 / 44 / 22 that has newer and more dependable drivetrain / battery and a warranty which would be worth its weight in gold when you recognize that you most probably will need a motor replacement at some point based on the track record of the reliability of that older generation of emtb's . If you spend too little you risk everything if you spend a bit more you have less risk and better resale / overall value. Have you seen the cost of a motor or battery, it will be a huge cost to be out of warranty unfortunately.

Hi, I'm aware of that, but the bikes all come with a 2 year warranty on motor and battery. I haven't seen great offers just yet, but will look around. Thanks for the feedback.
