Hi RLGR, loving the vlogs, keep em coming, after trawling thru the Emtb minefield, and changing my mind about a thousand times, I’ve finally decided to get a Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 HPC Race625, I’m thinking of a Medium frame as I’m 5’10” with a 29” inside leg, what size frame is yours etc 😀👍🏼

That's the exact bike I'm currently debating about, well the blue or the black one. I see you're fairly handy on the old Monty, loved my trials, can't be bothered with the clean up afterwards now though.

You will not be disappointed as hopefully you can tell in the vids. Its a gem...well guess it should be as its not exactly budget! Love trials, and the 4rt is bliss, love the 4stroke sounds and handling, stupid virus has put that on hold (and have a niggling elbow injury as well which doesnt help!).

I;ve just bought the 2021 version of this so obviously I've been watching loads of reviews. I have to say, yours is probably the best for me as you're experience is closer to mine than these MTB dudes who are going down extreme slopes. I'm pretty chuffed now that I've invested in what is , let's face it, quite a lot of money. Thanks for the video 🙂

@@neilacford1028 Thanks. I'll obviously wait to see what it's like. One of my favourite things is fast flowing single track and I think the limit will feel restrictive there. I'm not worried about the warranty, as if anything goes wrong I'll just take it out, but will be exciting to test. Hurry up March 2022!

I'm concerned that the 15.5mph limit will feel incredibly slow. Thinking of getting a chip for mine to max the assistance at 20mph. That's the US limit so the bikes will be designed for it. I think that extra 4.5mph will be a huge difference. what do you think?

@@RealLifeGadgetReviews Fitted different tyres , more trail type, less drain on battery, also fitted a de-restriction kit, makes it easier too cruise along at 20mph. Don't use it often though, keep speed around 14mph, and cadence about 70/80, better range out of a charge.

In my experience I have seen no degradation issues (experience is running www.SpeedyFeet.co.uk since 2016 selling electric unicycles - awesome by the way! 🤪) and also owning 3 electric cars, 4amp isnt stressing out the cells nor is 6amp. BUT you are right need to be careful, so at least 1 in 5 charges I use the slowest method possible.

Real Life Gadget Reviews I read on some forum somewhere that charging with the 2amp allows for 1000 charges of the battery before it dies for good, where as the 4amp reduces it to around 700. I wasn’t really talking about the mileage per charge if you know what I mean. Wow,just watched you on the mono cycle. Looks good fun! My mate bought the Cube 140 today. How is now you have had some time getting the feel for it?

I love it, its a little more ‘precious’ than what I am used to (motorcycle trials) so it doesnt seem to like being thrown around in that style, but hitting the trails and jumps its been lush. Massively more fun and never regret heading out into the forest as the motor will help you get back home no probs...really nice especially if your knackered!

Real Life Gadget Reviews It’s been a three month marathon search for my school teacher friend to get to this point today when he finally pulled the trigger after much cajoling from me to buy the Cube 140 Stereo. For value for money it takes some beating considering the high spec of the components. I’ve been riding EMTB’s for a couple of years now. My steed is a Haibike XDuro so I felt I could offer him some valuable insights in to this exciting world of fun and exhilaration. Have fun mate👍

Real Life Gadget Reviews After watching all your videos on this bike now I would be pretty miffed I had gone through what you have, no wonder you said it was precious. I’m almost regretting recommending this bike to my pal. That motor bash guard is flimsy to say the least, the one on my Haibike is bomb proof, and the cassette hanger is understandable if you are some crazy young downhill racer which clearly you aren’t so it begs a question as to the build quality of this bike. I also noted the ingress of water and dirt inside your battery compartment and wondered if this had some baring on your battery wiring fault. Check the seal on the battery cover mate, I’m seriously unimpressed with under slung battery design now after seeing other videos with same problem . My first EMTB was a brand new Cube Stereo 2018 hardtail with external frame battery and I had zero problems with it in the rain and mud. This tubular sleek design looks good but does it come at a cost? Please keep the videos coming ,they are very informative mate.
