clicking buttons The battery pack mount works with the older Bosch Powerpack 400 and the design of the cases for both this and the new Powerpack 500 are just so well done, you have an integrated loop handle at the top for secure carrying and there’s an LED charge level indicator built into the left side so you can know how full it is even off the bike It sounds like most CUBE electric bicycles that run with Bosch motors can have walk mode enabled, and this can be useful if you go off-road and decide to walk and push your bike through a particularly rough section, some other brands have disabled this I noticed a mounting point towards the end of the left chain stay and Joe explained that there’s a CUBE kickstand that could be added to this bike, that’s awesome for those who do plan to spend most of their time in an urban environment and don’t want to lean their bike against a wall constantly, most mountain bikers take them off to reduce rattling and snags Cons: The Bosch Performance Line CX motor is responsive and powerful, but it’s also the loudest motor in their lineup, you may notice a high pitched whine when operating the highest levels of assist or spinning faster, but this is usually mostly obscured by the sound of the knobby tires on off-road terrain Notice the smaller chainring, it rotates at 2.5x for every crank arm revolution which means there is increased pedal friction, it doesn’t create drag when coasting, but you will work slightly harder when pedaling on a Bosch motor like this than with some of the competition that uses standard sized chainrings Even though I feel that the battery and motor integration are very well done here, this is still less stealthy than fully integrated batteries and some of the newest super-compact motors, for those who don’t want to be noticed at all, it could be a drawback… but it’s about as good as you can get with the Bosch Powerpacks, keep an eye out for the Powertube integrated battery in 2018 Bosch makes several displays and the Purion is their most compact, but it lacks a few readouts and doesn’t have a dedicated i button to cycle through menus, you have to hold the minus key instead, which is slower The Micro-USB port on the display does not allow for charging, just software updates, and this display is also not removable like it’s bigger brothers, the Intuvia and Nyon (which is only available in Europe right now) To me, CUBE is a high-quality but value-driven brand and I was surprised to learn that the Reaction Hybrid HPA SL 500 is priced at roughly $3,800 because that’s the upper end for an alloy hardtail, but the styling is there and you get an air fork and the larger battery… so I guess it makes sense ;) Resources: Official Site: More Pictures:
