Hi Guys new Cube owner. Stereo 160 SLT.
have noticed the battery seems to rattle round or at least i think it is.
is there adjustment on the lock? or a bit of bodge it foam tape needed?
Also blowing thru all the rear travel. ordered a set of volume spacers. rider weight about 80kg. is this a common problem having read some reviews?

any help appreciated.

Are you aware of the Bosch motor rattle that is a known problem/characteristic?
I wasn’t and this forum made me aware of it, and stopped me hunting for my rattle/knock/loose thing.

I was becoming aware but im pretty sure this is battery rattel as i wedged a bit of cardboard as a packer behind the battery and in front of it and it did reduce the noise.

The battery is adjustable take it out and there are various screws etc, you can make it firm in place but then it’s difficult to remove.
