Cube uses genuine high-tech solutions in its e-bikes that you will notice immediately in everyday use. Here you will learn what makes the technology so special and why you are always one step ahead with it.

Drive System

The motor is the heart of your Cube e-bike. Cube equips many models with the Bosch Performance Line CX (Gen5). This drive provides powerful support, whether you are climbing steep hills or just cruising comfortably to work. The sensors measure more than 1000 times per second how hard you are pedaling. This way, you always get exactly the power you need—smoothly and naturally without any jerking.

Tip: With the new update, you even get up to 100 Nm of torque and 750 watts of peak power. This provides even more thrust, especially on demanding trails.

  • The batteries are built to be long-lasting and robust.

  • You can easily remove them for flexible charging.
