Comments
By far the largest electric bike we've ever tested, the Cube Cargo Sport Dual Hybrid 1000 is designed to carry large loads in its front-mounted box. The box can accommodates a versatile load up to 60kg, for a total ride weight of 220kg. That makes it a hefty beast to control, and it's the type of bike that can take some getting used to. Due to its size, it's not a bike that can be taken anywhere, and some planning might need to be undertaken to figure out the best route to your destination, and how you will park it once you get there. Once you get used to riding it, it is exceptionally comfortable over humps and uneven terrain, and it has plenty of power. Its Bosch mid-drive motor went up hills easily, but we did have to use the higher pedal assist levels when carrying a load. This model comes with two batteries for longer ride times.
