Who it is for
The Cube Cargo Hybrid 500 is for families who want a branded front-loader with a strong motor at a moderate price. The 200-litre EPP foam box is designed for children from nine months to seven years, or for luggage up to 60 kg. An optional rear rack adds 20 kg, and the whole bike is rated for 220 kg.
Riding and everyday use
The Bosch Cargo Line motor with 85 Nm makes starting with a loaded box easy, and the Enviolo stepless hub lets you shift at a standstill. Magura CMe hydraulic disc brakes and an 80 mm suspension fork keep the ride controlled and comfortable. With the 500 Wh battery, plan on around 35 to 40 km with a load; for more range, Cube offers a Dual Hybrid version with 1000 Wh.
Before you buy
The rider may weigh up to 115 kg, and bike, rider and load must stay below 220 kg, which the 48 kg bike weight already eats into. Plan a ground-level parking spot. For older or heavier children, look at front-loaders with a higher box rating.
