Good looks are the tip of the iceberg for Cube's Ella Ride Hybrid 500 Green. It's mid-drive Bosch motor supplied a very smooth and comfortable ride in our tests, with exceptional power provided when riding up hills. A step-through frame makes it a good all-rounder for a family, and rack on the rear provides some carrying space for shopping. There are plenty of gears (10) to cycle through on this bike, which contributes to a fun and active ride overall.
