The Cubes come with the new gen 4, smooth as silk. I see yours has the purion display, Cube have the Kiox, very funky indeed with loads of screens.

Yes mine has the bottom range display but it does everything I need, plus it's less expensive to replace should it get smashed ?
Only negative is you can't change the levels on the assist modes like you can on other motors, saying that though I just leave it in Emtb mode most of the time anyway as it's like a catch all setting.

Absolutely. Where does getting dressed in Lycra and cycling 20 miles fit into the message of stay home protect the NHS? Anyone that leaves the house needs a very good reason, I would be happy to horse whip and castrate cyclists if they come past my house. I just need Boris to give me the nod,I will get those rusty garden shears out the shed.

It says it here. https://www.gov.uk/government/publi...avirus-outbreak-faqs-what-you-can-and-cant-do

20 miles I can do in an hour no problem, so what seems to be your issue? is it that you cant go and do what you want, so you have to hate on everyone else?

Get a life.

Ye emtb mode seems to be like auto. Gonna have one once I get back to work, my days of long brutal climbs are over and these open up stuff I now no longer look at, not bloody cheap though.

I had a very quick ride on an electric bike a couple of years ago, it just felt like cheating. He was an old guy who used it for transport, are there different levels of assistance because the one I tried was totally effortless.
 
I have foolishly entered another Zwift TT race in the morning, it's organised by a club in my town, they have been getting the maximum of 1000 people twice a week!

Last time I did a zwift TT, I came dead last! By a long way!

You need to wear the right gear. Area helmet and tight socks. Did you shave your legs? ;-)

I would imagine a road going e bike on relatively flat land isn't giving you much of a workout, take an emtb off road on trials etc and it'll get the heart pumping if you want it to.

Its 10 and a little bit miles, not done this route before (Tempus Fugit), but expect to do it in around 28-30 mins? I'm not very fast. will probably average 180-200w.

180-200W isnt too bad at all (y)

What is your weight? I used to do 10 miles in about 27 minutes, usually last between the old guys or just behind, and I was doing 210 - 220 watts for that. Got overtaken by an gold guy on a trike once going uphill, and I was pushing it. Flew past him downhill on the TT bike where he couldn't get aero at all.

73kg, so around 3w/kg. its funny on zwift, even in the lowest cat, you still get smashed by all and sundry! its fun for me, not bothered where I come really! I will wear my HR strap to prove I am legit.
 
Just adding something I've seen on Twitter just now that you bikers might want to be aware of.
In Thames Valley area (Bucks/Berks/Oxon) there have 80 arrests of drink drivers in the last week.........yep..the last week.
And I suspect those numbers will be mirrored across the country
Keep 'em peeled Guys(y)
 
Rooter said:
around 3w/kg which is average at best. Some of the quick lads will be pushing over well over 400w for the ten miles!! but are they happy?! lol

Oh yes I have seen some real power from some on zwift, I can push 600 in a sprint and I am done, I cant maintain anything over 250w-275w for long.
