10 Reasons to Purchase the Cube Sport Cargo Hybrid

  • The two wheel set-up is quite stable and provides easier utility for the bike to fit through doorways and be stored more easily. 
  • With the box element up front, the rider can easily see cargo or their kids while riding. 
  • As an aluminum alloy based frame, the bike is very light for its style, despite being sturdy. The aluminum alloy also protects against rust damage when scratched. 
  • Given the lower payload and center of gravity, the weight of the bike is evenly distributed and handles with a great level of stability on turns. 
  • The Bosch 4 AMP E-bike charger that comes with the Sport Cargo is fast, and charges fully within 3-4 hours. 
  • Reliable, durable, and proven 10-speed Shimano Deore derailleur has great trigger shifters and Bosch motor controller for shift detection, reducing strain. 
  • 4th Gen Bosch Cargo Line motor is extremely powerful, with 85Nm of torque offered. 
  • The bike is exceptionally safe, given that everything from wheel speed to pedal cadence is measured upwards of 1,000 times per second by the system. 
  • The box area is very comfortable, and offers 3-point safety belts.
  • The touch points feel sporty but aren’t as aggressive as mountain bike pedals or locking grips. 

4 Reasons to Not Purchase the Cube Sport Cargo Hybrid

  • Different size rear and front tires means more of a hassle when purchasing replacement parts. 
  • The Sport Hybrid is quite expensive, even if you opt for the Cargo Sport model: it’s around $6,000-$7,000 without accounting for any accessories like the child seat. 
  • Despite being a full-fledged cargo bike, it’s still heavy, at 100 lbs.
  • Shimano Deore 10-speed cassette can’t be shifted at a standstill and is more prone to damage.

Bottom Line

The Cube Sport Cargo Hybrid is a cargo e-bike geared towards everyday use – groceries, taking children to and from school, or handling workloads and commutes with cargo. With a maximum output of 85Nm torque (continuous rated power of 250 watts) from their Gen 4 motor, the Cube offers enough power for the largest day-to-day commuting tasks.
This is all structured with a low payload to maintain a lower center of gravity and ~60kg of capacity inside the box. With a speedy battery charging time (under 4 hours), all-around great utility, power components, and thoughtful design, the Cube Cargo Hybrid is an excellent option for families.

E Bikes International

“The Cube Sport Cargo Hybrid’s motor performs flawlessly with a very satisfying hum. There are four levels of assist – Eco, Tour, Sport, and Turbo – and the assist level can be easily toggled while on the move with your left hand. [The] gearing was more than capable of carrying a 55kg load when the assist was off, thus nullifying any range anxiety I had.”

“Driving the E-cargo bike is Bosch’s powerful Cargo line motor, offering up to 85Nm of support. The Suntour MOBIEA32 fork in the front should smooth the ride for cargo and passengers. To ensure you have enough braking power whenever you need it, Cube have equipped the Cargo Hybrid with a pair of four-piston Magura CMe brakes. However, the heart of the bike is the large 200 L EPP foam cargo box.''

Electric Bike Review

“Fewer accessories and lower weight capacity than some competing products. This bike is long and low for stability, but this means it can be difficult to transport and more prone to undercarriage strikes. An [overall] sporty bike with a suspension fork that can handle up to two children in the front, and maneuver like a traditional bicycle on two wheels vs. three.”
