Which eBike?

[VanDamMan]

Although 2K for anything is an expensive purchase, apparently for an ebike it's at the cheaper end of whats available, but with a Bosch motor, its good enough for me to recommend

With owning a T6 and purchasing our little "mods" all the time, our pockets are always empty!!
When will buying "stuff" ever end?

When we're dead or we've run out of money... which hopefully coincide...!!

Hurrah!!
About bloody time...
You won't regret it.

When will the mods start?
You need to buy a pink water bottle from @Sackmycook
You need to buy tools
You need to buy spare tubes or modify rims to tubeless
You need a bell
You need, you need, you need...
It's almost as bad as modifying the T6!!

Remember they don't come with pedals, so make sure you get some fitted.
...and get them to double-check the wheel diameter is correctly set and software updated on the controller.

He’s right you know!

I’ve got a top peak super tourer panier rack on my hybrid. Solid as F, I don’t take it off ever now as handy to whack a bag on for family rides and acts as a mud guard all the rest of the time.

 

[czmate1999]

Just spoke to the bike shop and they advised against cube front mud guard and said something like a crud guard would be better and not limit movement of the front suspension...

looking in to all the other stuff

I've just gone for the Cube 160 2021. Waiting to collect.

Been looking at getting a 160 myself, although seems to be no stock anywhere at the minute! \
Where are you buying yours from?

Primera in Bournemouth. It's in shop but i still haven't collected

As @moomin-j said it is endless, although T6 needs are worse. I would honestly recommend converting to tubeless it’s the best thing we did. I can cope with a flat but having the wife’s tyre go down, don’t think my ears could take it. Enjoy

Mudhugger are really good for ....... mudguards. Lots of options and they are made I the UK. Pleeeease don’t get a kickstand . Nothing wrong with just laying it down on grass or whatever

This what I am lusting after but could t afford it even if you could get hold of one. Perhaps 2022. Santa Cruz Heckler
