Cube’s new Sport Cargo bike is a perfect option for the entire family – whether you’re looking to carry a load of groceries or your children, this bike has the power to get you to your destination. We’ll take a look to see how it stacks up against the competition and particularly against other cargo models designed for families.
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.
“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.''
“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.”
