Lovely video. I bought the Cube stereo Race with the 750 wh battery in liquid red 3 months ago and love it.
Nice overview of the bike and the features. Hope you are still having fun with it.
Still am yeah, less time at the moment to ride sadly!
Excellent.. doing my research on Cube bikes .. thank you.. John .. Monterey, CA
John thanks, hope it helped!
It sounds like a loose headset to me. Try tightening up the bearings a bit. I've also found it helps to put the front brake on and press down on the bars when you re-tighten the stem after adjusting the bearings. This avoids any play between the stem and head spacers - I've had this trouble in the past.
Hi mate. Red o ring is to set your sag. Psi in the shock etc. May have a base setting for your weight.
Bloody great review of the bike mate thank you! Considering this bike big time after a colleague just got one via Cycle 2 Work scheme
Thanks dude, you know what, I forgot about that scheme...suppose I could have got it cheaper or something?
@@RealLifeGadgetReviews They've upped the limit to 3.4k, so might put down a big payment and get the rest over the months, but looks like this bike is out of stock in most places, well the ones in nice colours so gives me some time to make a decision!
Thats awesome. I think you will LOVE this bike. Did 42miles on it yesterday, its not caught fire yet 😅🤣
@@RealLifeGadgetReviews Brilliant haha! Keep up the good stuff mate!
I love it. I’m waiting for mine
Congrats! Got anywhere to ride?
Real Life Gadget Reviews yes, when they let us leave home!!! In MADRID, SPAIN . while I will enjoy your videos
I've read or seen elsewhere about the knocking coming from the headset on these models but apparently was no issue. Also read the Bosch plate on the LHS of the motor comes off easily and can often end up lost.
Cheers, nothing feels loose put it that way, very odd sound (and feeling as it travels up and through the handle bars). Will keep an eye on the bosh plate situation thanks.
@@RealLifeGadgetReviews it is the freewheel system in the Bosch Gen 4 motor. If you rock the rear cassette back and fore 1/4 inch you will hear the noise. It sounds just like a worn shock eyelet.
the red ring on the shock is to set the sag on the rear suspension correctly .
The marks on the shock are for setting your sag. mine is set at 30% , it depends on your weight, too alter it you will need a shock pump.
Ok cheers, push to top, sit on it and see where its at? Aim to make it not sag at all?
@@RealLifeGadgetReviews 30 will make it a plush ride, 25 will keep the shock slightly higher in its travel. got a bigger volume spacer in mine then set pressure too get it at 30. do it on level ground sit on bike in your riding gear, push ring too top then check. more than 30 let air out less add air.
Great reviews mate cant wait to get my action team model canni ask which drone that is ?it follows you? Thanks
Its this one here: czcams.com/video/0Li5I7-JJSg/video.html
Great review. A Cube is on my long list. It was very helpful to hear your experiences. I’m in the ForestOfDean too. What dealer did you use?
www.ecycleuk.com (Stroud)
So the big question, Cube ebike or Montesa trials what do you prefer? Do you still have the Mont.
Practice ground is shut at the moment, not allowed to ride sadly! Love motorcycle trials, once able to ride again I will for sure. I think though this emtb is a good middle ground in these times, its full suspension, fairly heavy, and being lighter than a motorcycle will help my elbow heal up whilst still going through some of the motions. Also good for general fitness to compliment motorcycle trials 😀
So the the rings on the suspension is your sag. You need to sit on it and set your sag to 25% of travel. To make it stiffer add more air with a suspension fork. Do not use a normal pump it will blow the seals.
Cheers dude, when it was dropped back with me after being repaired he pumped it up a bit as well so think its ok now.
Real Life Gadget Reviews okay mate just maybe check sit on and slide rings down and see if it’s about 25% of the travel
Hi, wonderful and funny review. Fantastic footage as well. I am considering to buy the 2021 Cube Stereo Hybrid Race 625 Allroad to commute to work and have fun like you in the weekend by driving it off-road. Would you buy the same bike again or would you go for something for something else? Did you had any issues so far? Is the battery well protected against dirt and water? Thanks in advance for your feedback. Cheers, Filip.
I have had a few issues, now resolved. Certainly like the bike and would happily buy the same bike again.
Hi, very good reviews. I am thinking to buy same stereo 140 hybrid but i couldn't find nothing precise about max weight allowance for this ebike. Is 92 kg too much for this carbin frame? Thanks
Cant see why not, its not like thats mega heavy, just make sure to adjust the suspension to suit.
Carbon frame, only 2 year warranty?!
which drone did you use to make the videos ? Thx.
See: czcams.com/video/0Li5I7-JJSg/video.html
Hi, thinking of buying a cube E bike , for travel to work etc, I’m not the fittest guy, get bored of pedalling in the wind ! Do the E bikes really makes that much difference?
Mega difference!
my headset needed tightening. its semi integrated so it shouldnt damage the frame
Cool, its all ok at the mo!
Picking mine up this week, cant wait! Just need a Skydio2 to go with it... Not selling yours are you? haha
Lol, NO chance. Had x2 Skydio R1's (sold 1 still have the other) and the Skydio 2 now (early offer from Skydio due to having 2 R1's), its a brilliant drone has to be said. Only issue is dense woodland really, not much cop in that, but open ground it will keep up with the wheel and eMTB.
Which version of bike did you go for?
Real Life Gadget Reviews STEREO HYBRID 140 HPC
SL 625 29
Awesome! Congrats dude, going to be ace!
you still happy with your bike then? - as I'm thinking of buying the new 2021 model.. :)
Yes happy with it.
think you definitely need at least a rear mudguard.
Got to get one really....getting a muddy bottom...back....and head lol
very nice bike. where is your trial montesa.
Where did you get the key for removing the battery - just got mine today and don't seem to have a key! Thanks.
Darn that sucks! It comes in the box with the manual, mine were clipped together (should come with 2 keys). Recheck you packaging just in case fell out / off and is hidden somewhere. Dont throw away the packaging
@@RealLifeGadgetReviews Thanks - I'll contact dealer tomorrow as I think it got lost there. Good review BTW. Cool drone work.
@@RealLifeGadgetReviews They also gave me a European charging adaptor!!!
Doh! Not the best start. From the UK?
@@RealLifeGadgetReviews Yep. Evans Cycles. Not too far from me so shouldn't be a problem. Hopefully...........
How long will the battery last you on low setting?
Lowest is eco, that would last hours - probably 60-70 miles….but it hardly assists
You need to look up about sag I think the noise your encountering is you front forks taking a beating. More air is needed
Thanks for watching, they are set up correctly to my weight
@@RealLifeGadgetReviews not set correctly if shocks are bottoming out. I.e if o ring is at max travel this would indicate more air is required. I set mine up according to weight and it was off quite a bit
Hi is your bike tuned?
No, stock bike
Hi, what kind of drone do you use?
Dirk, take a look here for my review: czcams.com/video/0Li5I7-JJSg/video.html
Real Life Gadget Reviews , thanks👍. I‘ve got the same bike 😉. I‘m really satisfied. The red O-ring is to adjust your Suspension on your bike.
Glad its working out for you!
What happened to trials riding on you montesa?
Practice ground is shut at the moment, not allowed to ride sadly! Its sat in my office currently so I can stare at it an cry ;)
What a bummer. The snow is gone here and I'm able to ride on my own property. I have trials sections made of tractor tires, rail road tires and a log. Just wanting to rub it in a little.😁
Ha ha, thanks for that! Actually this new bike is a half way house, its heavier than a conventional bike (only just mind) and full suspension gives it the feel, as well as being much lighter than the trials bike it might help strengthen my elbow back up...hopefully! Blessing in disguise?
Can you or somebody else drive with the bike in bikepark
I could ride to one as its only 5 or 6 miles away, but they have closed the trails at the moment I think.
Real Life Gadget Reviews ok 👍🏼
Just let your wife know my other half does have a wicker basket on her electric cube lol
LOL, brilliant, have just seen this and laughed
140 race wird kiosx Display?
It has the Kiosx display yeah. Not sure if that answer the question or not!
@@RealLifeGadgetReviews thx
No problem!
nice bike and review. I‘ve checked the cube homepage and it says 140 race with Purion display. 🤔 Did you install it or was it factory installed?
u using the wrong type of pants, u need skinny pants, so they don't get caught up in the chain (OR BLACK STAINS OF GREASE )
You can see my pants?!
Lush bike!
Thanks!
You need some real speedy feet to pedal this bike.
You sure do 😉
1:26... sexy Rig
bought this bike today.
Congrats!
@@RealLifeGadgetReviews 3weeks to wait... damn Virus
