I own one. Definitely a big waste of money. Breaks on every ride and then overheats and shuts down. The wheel on it already warped after 4 rides. It's a great concept but needs a lot of changes to the design and way more testing. After my first ride I wondered if anyone actually tested this thing?! For the $800 I paid I could just buy a full eBike that works much better.
Are you sure it's a good design. Reminds me of something Mr Bean would come up with on his day out. Think about what this is it's using a pulley to try and move the top of the tyre.
I had a massively bad experience with Rubbee X. Took me months to get a refund for a non-working product, and after a dispute with my payment company, they refunded me my purchase price minus 23-percent! "Wear and tear" on a product that only lasted for 75 miles.... shady. Buyer beware!!!
Interesting but couldn't possibly be as efficient as a hub or mid-drive motor. I'd worry about how fast the Rubbee wears out the rear tire and how much less efficient it would be when the tire is wet (& slippery).
Increased friction, wears tires, debris or water can damage it.....so many reasons why it's a gimmick rather than a useful product.
Its a nice idea and hopefully cheap, ebikes are so expensive so I wouldn't say its a gimmick as its still in its infant stage of production.
Friction drives don't wear tires out if you know what you're doing.
Rubbee is the currency they use in India.............LOLLLL..........can't believe you got an Indian guy to try it out. Anyway, love the design, it's very cool, specially it's made from free Lithuania not commie China!
what about test on slippery surface and wet wheels and even in rainy conditions?
Double "b"s suggest the name is pronounced "RUB-ee"
So the crank shaft has a Bluetooth sensor sending technology?
Is the battery in it like AAA NiCAd?
How fast does tread wear down back tire, or front tire?
Is there like an alternator/generator built inside the rubbee x unit-so it powers the recharge thru pedal assist? (So you dont have to charge the unit so many times-infrequently?)
je possède un rubbee x , premièrement j'ai testé une dizaine de vélo et il ne va sur aucun !!! il faut un petit vélo et un pied de selle haut ....alors que les vélo d aujourd'hui on un grand cadre et pied de selle mini.donc attention .ensuite avec1 batterie tres très décevant limite inexistant il faut prendre 2 min . ensuite il m a fallu souder une demi journée pour adapter un bras sur le pied de selle afin de le fixer quand même ! les 16km annoncé....haha 1er jour 1er teste batterie chargée : 5km et vide avant que j arrive chez moi !!! puis défaut de conception : la trappe a ec les 6 vis pour la batterie a tendeance a se declipser du coup : le moteur de coupe car la batterie n'est plus en contact .bien réfléchir avant l achat
how does it ride when it's raining? seeing that you cannot have a mud guard at the back?
the divice is water resistent and is a mud guard itself
@@CyPk2077 According to the OP, it is waterproof, not resistant. There is a major difference between the two. Resistant means that eventually, who knows how long, water will get in and damage it. Waterproof means that water cannot get in and damage it.
I guess you could cut a whole in your mudflap enough for it to touch the tire.
No way this works and and it will cost you a fortune in tyres
Less than underwhelming! My rubbee motor started running uncontrolled on my 3rd time out. No way to stop it with the power button! Before you buy (or rather not), watch: @ . Also, the range is way shorter than they claim.
Hi Jean. Any more news on your experience with the Rubbee? I'm considering getting one, but would like to hear more about your experience with it. Thanks for any more information you could provide.
Yes I've also considered it as an easy option. But tempted to get a middrive unit instead
Cool for commute bike, but not for mtb :))
The review part could include more about the technical engineering on how the friction is increased to make sure the little wheel does not slip.
Also, there could be a part where you describe more about pros/cons. I like in this gadget, that you could detach it, so when battery is empty, you could ride without any extra breaking from the motor (which is the disappointing part of my Bosch Performance CX e-bike).
Overall, it appears to be a great addition for a fixed tail bikes. I doubt it would work on my full-suspension MTB bike, but if it would work on it, I would definitely would love to try it.
Great job, Rubbee!
There is Dr. CP a German guy who have made some videos with a MTB bike and Rubbee
@@sim_scape do you have url?

Do you find it to be loud?
🤣🤣🤣
I'm on the reflexion to buy one ! Thank you for the review (!
Good to know Sim! let me know if you decide to go with it - I will hook you up! Cheers
I'm already desgining mud-guards for it in my head 🤔 I hate getting a wet bum.
Rubbee acts like a mud guard itself, it doesn't splash mud at your bum. Gonna be drier then you think :D
Shape looks almost awkward, would look better if device sit vertically. Price wise,OK for base model, but won't be splashing for extra
I agree on the shape - if it horizontal all the time it would look so much better (like when its loaded on the bike but not lowered to the wheel). The extras give you some extra speed (32 instead of 25kmh) and its a better range, if I'd buy it - I'd get myself the extra battery though! Thanks for sharing your opinion!
sounds smooth as butter
Feels like it too!
I don’t think rubbee is pronounced like ruby.
Tf Would It Sound Like ??
Rub - E ?
@@PANTHERA369 Yes, because it rubs on the wheel.
@@critterIMHO Yeah But I Don't Like The Sound Of It Lol 😅
I like the idea
770 euros.. Mejor me compro una eléctrica de fábrica.
I can see this as a help for elderly people in hilly environment, but as long as I´m young and healthy I see no reason to have this attached.
Why even comment? Do you go to videos of items not needed just to claim it’s not for you?
@@Rhaman68 It was recommended to me to check it out. So I´m here, and I see a young guy on a road bike using an electric support and I don´t get it, that´s all.
Do ship to asia like Malaysia and Singapore?
Are these available in the US?
hello, they will give me 2 batteries when I order from that link you posted?
Hey Ceb! yes, it goes with 2 batteries. But we recommend buying the third one to make it go faster (32kmh with three batteries instead of 25kmh with two!)
This is way more than it is worth. You can get an entire wheel hub motor setup for a lot less and you don't even have to pedal it. I just converted a $98.00 Walmart, single speed coaster brake bicycle for $211.35, using all new parts except for the battery. I got an untested battery from Jehu Garcia for $35.00 plus $16.00 and some change for shipping.The hub motor is also a lot faster. Even though there may be instances where this would be a "Quick" fix, the price is just way too high. Not cost effective at all.
Update On Your Bike ?
Speed ?
Range ?
Battery Capacity ? Etc

Why no helmet
no throttle?
The seat seems way too high for me
Is rubbee waterproof
Rubbee is made to be waterproof, the electronics are fully potted, but just to be safe don't use it on completely submerged roads. The sensor uses a simple CR2032 cell, it's easily replaceable.
Hope this helps.
Absolutely not recommended product, I bought it to have an electric bike when I come back from abroad, every time I find the battery of the pedal sensor that runs out, I change it and it doesn't recognise the sensor, and then the app to update, and then it works for 5 minutes and then it goes in a loop, and then I change the android smartphone and try ios and there are other problems. In short, I've wasted about 900 euros on the kit and extra batteries.
The button to hook the motor to the wheel is hard and the plastic around it cuts the thumb, a plastic riser would be enough to solve the problem.
The screws underneath are at a 45 degree angle and difficult to unscrew, the extra batteries difficult to release.
So many things that put together make this kit bad.
I have learnt that these Bluetooth kits are a real mousetrap, the promises are many the facts very few.
The next ebike a wired model and without a capestro app!!!! In general, I am sick of buying all these connected and overconnected products that do nothing but complicate life.
Same here. Don't recommend anyone buy this
اختراع جميل جدا
I have one question , Is It waterproof?
Yes!!
Brilliant video 😎
This is amazing idea can water go inside it from the tyre 🤔
The sensor that you cable tie to the pedal arm is that rechargeable, and the pickup sensor
I'm thinking of buying one for my mountain bike
I like the fact you can switch it between bikes by buying another seatpost fixing 😀
Hi ! Rubbee X is made to be waterproof, the electronics are fully potted, but just to be safe don't use it on completely submerged roads. The sensor uses a simple CR2032 cell, it's easily replaceable.
Let me know if you think you'd buy one for yourself or not in the comments below!
