My 1st ebike.

[Cushdy]

Hey all.
Got my 1st ebike about 2 weeks ago. Decided on the cube stereo 160 race as i enjoy riding a lot of enduro/downhill. Wasnt sure about ebikes at first, but did the usual and slated people who had them but never tried one myself. Started cycling with @Knobby by who has the 160 team bike. Done a few rides with me on my orbea rallon and @Knobby blasting up hills and decided to try the ebike. I couldnt believe how much fun they are. Im not a hill climber anyway and really struggle to get out to full fitness with 3 kids under 3. The ebike has allowed me to get out and have a really good blast with a workout and still have some legs left after the ride. The 2 rides we have done have been pretty muddy so still not fully setup on the bike. Hopefully get some better weather over crimbo.

Nice bike! Saw the team version first at a bike rental place in Austria - they had about 50 of them

How do you find your Race version compares to the Team? Interested because I’m thinking of getting one.

@custdy is much quicker than me already.. My Team Action is running 152mm crank arms and you can really notice the difference.

Whats the difference 2k? Think'd i'd probably save the money and go for the race! Recon 90% of the time you wouldn't notice the difference.

Thanks for that ?

@Cris the race rides really well for an ebike. Not really had the weather to give it a full test on some dry trails yet. Its great for getting through all the slop though. You can get good mileage in without your legs going after 10mins. Im going for some 160mm crank arms when they become available as ive had a couple of pedal strikes.

Thanks for that, think I’ll go for the race and save the 2 grand ?

I tried both and found a huge difference in the suspension, but I am no expert. It was most likely a matter of adjustment more than anything else. I loved the team, but it is $$$.

I borrowed the 160 Action Team for two weekends and have converted a lot of emtb haters... I agree, the virus is spreading!
