Our verdict
The Cube Longtail Hybrid Comfort 800 is the low-maintenance version of Cube's longtail: belt drive and a stepless hub instead of chain and derailleur, with the same large battery and strong brakes. The rear rack is still rated for 60 kg and there is no suspension.
Pros
- Belt drive and stepless hub, very low maintenance
- Large 800 Wh battery with the Cargo Line motor
- Very strong Magura Gustav PRO brakes
- Strong 85 Nm motor pulls full loads up steep hills
- Large 800 Wh battery for long days
- Low-maintenance belt drive — no chain oil on clothes
Cons
- Rear rack rated for 60 kg only
- No suspension
- Costs more than the derailleur version
Ideal for…
- Families with one or two small children
- Longer commutes with shopping or luggage
- Hilly cities
- Long daily commutes
Not recommended if…
- Two older, heavier children
- Riders who want suspension comfort
- You regularly haul heavy commercial loads

Who it is for
The Cube Longtail Hybrid Comfort 800 is for families and commuters who want a longtail with a large battery at a moderate price. At 1.97 m it is not much longer than a trekking bike. The integrated rear rack carries 60 kg in total, 40 kg on top and 10 kg on each side, which is enough for two children with seats or a bench, and the bike is rated for 200 kg.
Riding and everyday use
The Bosch Cargo Line motor with 85 Nm and the 800 Wh battery are the highlights: around 60 km with a load is realistic. Magura Gustav PRO four-piston brakes are among the strongest on any e-bike and inspire confidence with a heavy rear. The stepless hub with belt drive shifts at a standstill and needs almost no maintenance, while the rigid fork and 26-inch tyres transmit more bumps than a suspended bike.
Before you buy
If you need to carry more than 60 kg on the back, for example two older children, look at longtails with a higher rack rating. Child seats, rails and footrests are sold separately; the Family version comes with them.

Two children with suitable seats or a bench on the rear rack. The rack is rated for 60 kg in total, so two older children may exceed it.
