Wireless e-bike conversion kit? Rubbee X Overview - Unboxing, installation and test ride ! 

Thanks Pablo !

One huge weakness (apart from the lack of working ios app), is that if the button battery dies in the crank sensor, no power. It's pretty hard to change out on the road

Sounds normal to me. Change battery and go on. Botton battery is no rocket science.

Thanks Ben ! :)

Congrats, we hope You'll love it !

@@RubbeeDrive I'm thrilled with my purchase! It's so well made and works beautifully!! 😍 Highly recommend!

Thanks Matyas !

Rubbee X is pedal assist, so pedaling is required for the motor to activate :)

@@RubbeeDrive How does it know when you are pedaling?

@@patrickrenschler sensors, u didn't watch the video?

@@aljondevera4147 i skimmed through it, didn't have time for a 7 min advertisement ;) but I am interested in the product. I see it's based on a cadence sensor, nice solution.

You can lock Rubbee X together with the bike using a chain/cable lock if You want to leave it outside. But yes if You store the bike outside for long periods of time (next to the workplace for example) it's best to unclip it and take it with You for a recharge :)

Yes

Yes Bruce, You can install additional batteries whenever You want :)

From general experience, we see tires lasting ~2000-3000km with Rubbee X being used constantly. It greatly depends on the quality of the tire.

Glad to hear that Jones, looking forward to making Your bike electric !

Thanks, ačiū !

Hi Paul, the lock mechanism that mounts on the seat post takes about 5cm of vertical space on the seat post.

@@RubbeeDrive You should include this on the Specs. I was looking for this in the specs but find it here in the comments.

Yes

Hi ! Please visit www.rubbee.co.uk !

There is a charger plug on the rear light of the device and Rubbee X comes with a charger. Plug the charger to an AC outlet, connect it to Rubbee X and it will charge in 1-3 hours :) You can unclip it and take it with You for longer storage, but it can also be locked through the handle together with the bike.

Hi ! Sometimes we do, just drop us an email with delivery address and we will check for a custom quotation :)

Hi Josiah, Rubbee X stops providing assistance and starts freerolling once the bike reaches 16 or 20 mph depending on the battery setup :)

Hi Daniel ! Rubbee works only in pedal assist mode. You pedal - it pushes You forward. You stop pedaling - Rubbee freerolls. :)

@@saint105x3 do you have all reserve parts, e.g. batteries, 14 led red back light etc.?

The new X is lighter, more powerful and completely wireless :)

Just order via www.rubbee.co.uk :)

Hi Ahmad, Rubbee can work with tires up to 2.5in wide so most tires fit just fine :)

@@RubbeeDrive I’m so glad you replied.

Would be interesting to test it out ! But usually it goes on a bike.

Glad You like it ! Rubbee works just like a regular e-bike so budget-wise it is a smart move :) regarding the rack - yep, it will have to be removed.

@@RubbeeDrive Thank you for responding!

Hi ! We have customers who travel even over 60km on a single charge with 3 packs in Eco mode. It does take some planning to reach such distance though. Usually it varies between 45-50km in such combination. And yes, the more power You put on the pedals Yourself, the more distance the assistance will help You. And yes, Your 200W + 250W from Rubbee X will essentially double Your total power output.

Hi Jose, great idea !

Yep ! www.rubbee.com :)

Hi Patrick ! Rubbee is really silent with regular city/road/hybrid tires. You can start hearing it only with off-road tires but even then it's not that loud.

@@RubbeeDrive Thanks! Sounds like a solid solution. Would love to hear a video of the noise (most of the reviews have background music playing so you can't tell). It's too bad you can't fly with ebike batteries, would be a great kit for us because my wife typically rents an ebike when we travel.

@@patrickrenschler Good idea, we'll work on a video to show how silent the Rubbee X really is :) and our batteries are bellow the 100Wh capacity limit so You can actually bring Rubbee X on a flight just like a laptop or any other battery-powered device.

@@RubbeeDrive brilliant thanks!

@heeeeeresrossy Would love to hear more feedback. Thinking of getting one. Got any review of typical distance range you go before batteries need charging?

Yes You actually would increase the overall power output and the range of the e-bike. Rubbee X could be Your e-bike range extender !

Hi ! It could be used on an MTB bike, but Rubbee X is more optimized for urban riding conditions, not off-roading.

Keep it standard, fully inflated according to the labels on the tire :)

€499 during Black Friday sale !

Hi CEO, are you sending canada?and how much if ever?thanks...

@@lakeeconcepcion4260 HI ! :D yes we do, please check the e-store for the latest pricing.

Yes, it works with 29" tires :)

@@RubbeeDrive FANTASTIC !!!!!👌👌👌👌

@@RubbeeDrive how much ?

@@LORENZOCOLALONGO Starts at €579 :)

Yep !

I have a Rubbee on a folding bike made by Tern. The main thing is to not have the Rubbee too steep or shallow relative to the wheel and the deat post has to be really really tight.

@@davidniven9996 How has your experience been with yours? Any tips? I actually received mine a few days ago, it seems mostly fine thus far.

I’m pretty sure lithium battery charging circuits won’t allow it.

@@bikeham i was thinking you can buy two sets One for the front tier and one for the back So one is charging while the other one is being used 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️👀

@@Vega23 I don't think physics works that way!

@@Vega23 weird 🤨 and no

@@Vega23 It requires taking screws out of the main assembly to remove the batteries. Probably not worth it. Also, the button battery for the cadence sensor goes flat after a few months. (without warning!) 😞Not easy to change on the roadside!

You do have to pedal, it is a pedal assist system.

yes

No worries, the integrated suppression system pushes the roller into the tire with quite some force to avoid slipping.

@@RubbeeDrive and what about dirt in the rain? is it water and dirt resistance?

@@케라케라 Hi ! Yes Rubbee X is IP55, water and water splashes resistant.

Nope, check our website www.rubbee.com !

What price

Hi ! Hm.. It's up and running on the App Store and we're working on an update too :)

@@RubbeeDrive I’m looking forward to the update. The iOS app only allows power level changes and more useful things like speed, battery capacity and firmware updates don’t work.

The android app doesn't connect to machine 😔

@@RubbeeDrive progress on ios?

Are they out of business? My unit came apart but my batteries are still good. I have three of them if you're interested

@@brettmuennich5162 I am!

Hi ! Yes, on most models. You can send us a picture of the bike You have in mind and we can check it out for You :)

@@RubbeeDrive Cube Aim medium size 29 wheel, does it work on my bike? Thank you

Hi Paul, the charger uses a 2 prong connector. There is no maximum weight limit. Rubbee X is a pedal assist so as long as the rider is pedaling it will provide assistance.

Thanks for the fast response ... Two-prong plug which through an adapter, can be charged by a 240v supply? If so, how does the charger change or cope with the 50/50hz frequencies?

@@paultaylor7691 Hi again :) the charger has variable input voltages, meaning the transformer inside of it on the AC side can accept a range of voltages(and frequencies) and convert it into DC output required for the device to charge. The 2-3 prongs variation usually means the plug has or does not have a grounding pin.

@@RubbeeDrive So this means it can be charged via a portable power-station like a Bluetti or Ecoflow? I have a particular reason for asking, rather than trying to be difficult-

@@paultaylor7691 Hi Paul, yes, if the power station has a regular AC 110 or 220 V output - it can be used to charge the Rubbee X :)

Starts at $579!

@@RubbeeDrive well, the extra batteries and stuff make it like 900$ and I can’t even afford 500 to begin with

You can attach a mudguard to your saddle 🤨 (which is what I'll be doing).

@@HShango those are pretty crap, not to mention that they're not full. Also no carrying rack and the price is very steep for those shortcomings.

and how many days?

Hi Arnold, yes we do. Usually shipping time is ~5-8 days with UPS.

If You want, You can use GPS speed correction on the app, but in general GPS is not required :)

​@@RubbeeDrive Must I have a mobile phone to use your product?

@@RubbeeDrive what are the shipping and handling costs to Croatia (Zagreb)?
