Electric Bike Review
CUBE Town Sport Hybrid One 400 Review

Apr 2020

Price: $2599.00 | Model Year: 2020 | A high quality electric bicycle that's well-suited to neighborhood, city, and commuting applications. Available in five sizes, the easy-entry frame is very approachable, offering low standover height and excellent bottle cage mount positioning. Hydroformed tubing is beautiful but stiff with reinforcements and internal walls that reduce frame flex without adding too much weight

Observations
  • A high quality electric bicycle that's well-suited to neighborhood, city, and commuting applications. Available in five sizes, the easy-entry frame is very approachable, offering low standover height and excellent bottle cage mount positioning. Hydroformed tubing is beautiful but stiff with reinforcements and internal walls that reduce frame flex without adding too much weight

  • Proven Bosch PowerPack 400 battery is known for being durable and reliable. The mounting interface is forward compatible to work with the higher capacity PowerPack 500 if you already have one or buy two Bosch-powered ebikes

  • Comfortable saddle, locking ergonomic grips, swept-back handlebar, and coil suspension fork. Excellent rear rack should work with trunk bags, panniers, and bungee setups... looks great connecting to the seat stays with a hidden metal piece that reinforces the rear fender. The bike is very quiet and efficient because hardware is securely attached and the Bosch Active Line motor is so smooth

  • Comes with the slower Bosch compact 2 amp battery charger vs. 4 amp. You can charge the battery on or off the frame, but the charging port is low near the left crank arm which requires bending over and is inline with the left crank arm. ABUS keys on this bike don't offer the keyed-alike lock matching option. Fairly basic suspension fork with no lockout and minimal adjustability. Bosch Active Line Plus motor offers lower 105 RPM support vs. 120 RPM on Performance Line
