Finally, I bought one and now don't want to stop riding. It feels very balanced and ride a lot of areas without power as well and used the electric motor for hills and gnarly coolie type areas.
I bought this bike back in January this year and absolutely love it you can send it confidently down any steep rough terrain and I've not found a steep off road hill going up that it can't handle it honestly allows you to tackle terrain you wouldn't normally be able too I love it !!
Helps. But e-bikes are over-rated. Require lots of money. Costly repairs. And ya just don't get a fulfilling workout on any e-bike. Though I had to purchase the least pricey Cube 140(for the lady of the house). One hot day, this year, the motor died. Never to be revived. And the warranty, was not covering-it(so much for spending all-that-money). I purchased a Oli motor. And she loves-it. More power. Longer battery life and riding time. And it's quieter than the Bosch CX. The Oli motor also has better climbing assistance and is more friendly to slow cadence. Why more brands are not equipped with Oli, is a mystery. And the Oli motor(Edge version), has noticeably better heat dissipation than Bosch. Time to change...Cube.
