I've already got a proper holder for the phone which I will use on my next long ride. It should be a lot better and I can quickly remove the phone when it's in the sun. When it overheats the screen goes dark and I can't see anything at all.
@@KarlVaughanI’ve heard they are a very powerful motor, I’m waiting on a delivery for a orange phase s 2024 with a shimano ep8 250w motor 85nm, I don’t think they are as powerful as bosch and what sort of speeds was you getting in this video, I thought it was derestrict tbh.
I imagine your new bike will be much the same, as the torque is also 85nm on mine. My bike doesn't need to be derestricted as it's powerful enough as it is. I've tried it on a number of hills in my area and have been very happy with its performance. I hope you'll be happy with your new bike.
@@KarlVaughan yes I would of thought so and derestricting them can also void you’re warranty and increased loads for motors and batteries, so really not necessary and thank you, I’m sure I will as it will be my first e-bike.
Hi there Karl question did you de-restrict that bike it seems to be going awfully fast for a standard out of the box bike. Very smooth without any degrading of speed as do the out of the box cubes do. I think someone at cube forgot to reduce the speed settings on yours because there is no way you were travelling at 15mph. The motor is restricted at factory to meet UK laws. You should be feeling a cut off when you reach maximum speed. Which is 15mph I could not see any evidence of that just smooth stable speed. That is normally only achieved on a de-restricted bike with a bosch engine.
The bike is as it came from the shop brand new. I've done nothing to it. Actually these bikes can go faster than 15.5mph, just like any normal bike if you pedal harder or go downhill.
The question he's asking is, are you still getting assistance from the motor above 15mph? Or is it purely you're own pedal power after 15mph@KarlVaughan
Karl, you should get a quad lock handlebar mount for your phone. It would make it easier to see.

Great to join you from the comfort of my chair!
Thanks for watching :)
Great video and can I ask what watt motor you are running please seems very quick?
Thanks. It's just a standard 250W motor. The Bosch system is very good apparently.

Hi Karl, what mode did you ride the bike? Thanks
I use Tour+ mostly when on the roads.
@@KarlVaughan Hi Karl I'm looking in to getting a this bike what is tour mode please low, medium, high ?

@@KarlVaughan do you get much drag from the motor when pedalling unassisted over 15.5 mph?
Cheers 👍

I'm asking because I've just purchased the new 2025 model
