The Cube Kathmandu Hybrid Comfort PRO 800 is listed at £3,499, which sits broadly in line with similar commuter e-bikes from 2025. It offers a strong range of 75 miles and a robust 800Wh battery, both of which compare well with many rivals in the category, while the 85Nm torque and torque-sensing assistance should provide confident, natural support for daily commutes. However, some similar e-bikes may feel more responsive for their weight, and the 6.5-hour charge time is slightly slower than what some competitors offer. For a commuter bike, the balance of range, battery capacity and braking confidence makes this a solid option, particularly for riders who prioritise reliability and comfort over speed. Buyers who value a dependable, well-equipped e-bike for regular use in urban or mixed conditions are likely to see the value here, though those seeking a lighter, faster ride may find alternatives more appealing.

This commuter e-bike offers a smooth and predictable assistance feel, with strong torque support that should help with hills and stop-start urban riding. Next to similar e-bikes, it provides a balanced and natural response thanks to its torque and cadence sensor, though some models may feel more lively for their weight. The motor should provide solid climbing support and handle loaded riding reasonably well, though it may lack the outright punch of more powerful competitors. The sensor setup should allow for smooth and controlled assistance, with predictable support across different ride conditions. Riders looking for a reliable and comfortable motor setup for daily commutes and moderate hills should find this motor setup well-suited to their needs.

eBike FAQs
Is this bike suitable for daily commuting in the city?
This bike is well-suited for daily city commuting, offering a comfortable ride with front suspension to handle rough roads and built-in lights for safety. The high-capacity battery provides a good range, and the removable design makes charging convenient. However, the lower motor power may result in slower acceleration, and the heavier weight could make it slightly harder to lift or carry when needed.
How does the motor perform when climbing hills?
The motor provides smooth and controlled assistance when climbing hills, thanks to its high torque. However, with a 250W motor power, it may feel less punchy on very steep inclines, especially if you're carrying extra weight or riding at higher speeds. The high torque helps maintain momentum, but riders looking for more aggressive hill-climbing performance might find this bike slightly limited in that regard.
What is the real-world range on a single charge?
The Cube Kathmandu Hybrid Comfort PRO 800 offers a real-world range of around 75 miles on a single charge, which should be sufficient for most daily commutes or weekend rides. This range is above average for similar commuter bikes, and the high-capacity 800Wh battery helps ensure you can cover longer distances without needing to recharge. However, the charging time is slower than some competitors, so you may want to plan your charging schedule accordingly.
How practical is the removable battery for charging and storage?
The removable battery is very practical for charging and storage, as it allows you to take the battery indoors to charge it safely, which is especially useful if you're charging at home or in an office. This flexibility also makes it easier to store the battery separately when not in use, though the bike's overall weight may still make it a bit heavier to handle when lifting or moving the bike itself.
Is this bike good value for the price compared to similar e-bikes?
The Cube Kathmandu Hybrid Comfort PRO 800 offers a solid mix of features that justify its price, especially if you prioritize comfort, battery life, and practicality for daily city use. The high-capacity battery and removable design are strong points, and the bike is well-equipped with lights and hydraulic brakes for everyday reliability. However, the slower charging time and lower motor power may be drawbacks for some, so it depends on how important these factors are to you compared to similar models.
How comfortable is the ride on rough or uneven roads?
The Cube Kathmandu Hybrid Comfort PRO 800 should handle rough or uneven roads reasonably well, thanks to its front suspension, which helps absorb bumps from potholes or uneven surfaces. While it’s not designed for off-road trails, the suspension and smooth motor assistance make it a comfortable choice for city streets or suburban paths with some imperfections. However, the lack of rear suspension may mean you’ll feel more of the rougher terrain, especially over long distances.
How long does it take to charge the battery fully?
The Cube Kathmandu Hybrid Comfort PRO 800 takes longer than average to charge fully, which may be a consideration if you need to recharge quickly. With a high-capacity battery, it offers a good range for daily use, but the charging time is slower compared to some similar e-bikes. If you're often on the go and need to recharge frequently, this could be a minor inconvenience.
What are the main compromises or trade-offs of this bike?
The main compromises of this bike include its lower motor power, which may feel less punchy for quick acceleration, and its heavier weight, which could make it slightly harder to lift or carry. The charging time is also slower than some competitors, which might be a drawback if you need to recharge quickly. However, the high battery capacity and removable design offer flexibility for longer rides and convenient charging.
