Cube Cargo Sport Hybrid 500 blue´n´lime

The "Cargo Sport Hybrid 500 blue’n’lime" model from Cube, released in 2022, is a high-quality e-bike that stands out for its robust construction and versatile features. Priced at EUR 4,899, it falls into the upper mid-range category and offers numerous technical features suitable for both everyday use and longer rides.

At the heart of the bike is the Bosch Drive Unit Cargo Line Generation 4 motor, delivering 250 watts of power and 85 Nm of torque. The motor is powered by a Bosch PowerPack 500 battery, which ensures a reliable power supply. The Bosch Intuvia display allows for simple and intuitive control of all functions, whilst the included Bosch 2A charger ensures efficient recharging.

Excellent braking performance is provided by the Magura CMe hydraulic disc brakes, with a diameter of 180 mm at the front and 203 mm at the rear. The Shimano Deore 10-speed derailleur (RD-M5120-SGS) and Shimano Deore shifter (SL-M4100) ensure precise and smooth gear changes. The drivetrain is supported by the KMC X10 chain, whilst the Shimano Deore sprocket (CS-M4100) with an 11–46T gear ratio provides the necessary flexibility.

The SR Suntour MOBIE CARGO fork with 80 mm of travel provides additional comfort and stability, particularly on uneven terrain. The CUBE EX30 rims are tubeless-ready and, in combination with the Schwalbe Pick-Up tyres (FR: 60-406, R: 65-584), offer high puncture resistance and traction.

For lighting, the bike is fitted with an ACID Front Light PRO-E 110 (5–16V, DC) and an ACID Mudguard Rear Light PRO-E (12V, DC). These ensure optimum visibility and safety when riding in the dark. The ACID 75 mudguards provide additional protection against dirt and water.

The handlebars (CUBE Comfort Trail Bar, 680mm) and grips (Natural Fit Comfort) are ergonomically designed to maximise riding comfort. The BySchulz Speedlifter Classic stem allows for easy adjustment of the handlebar height. The Natural Fit Sequence+ Comfort saddle, combined with the Newmen Evolution seatpost (30.9mm), ensures a comfortable riding position.

Other features include the CUBE PP MTB pedals, the ACID E-Crank crankset (170mm, 38T), the semi-integrated Cube H835D3 headset with Cane Creek Viscoset, and the Shimano hubs (FR: HB-MT400, RR: Deore FH-M6000). The saddle is secured using the CUBE Varioclose (34.9 mm), and a Cargo kickstand ensures the bike stands securely.
