Overview
The Cube Cargo Hybrid Comfort SLX 800 is a practical, well-equipped cargo bike designed for carrying loads and handling everyday commutes with ease. Its 800Wh battery provides a solid range for longer rides, and the removable battery adds convenience for charging and storage. The hydraulic disc brakes offer confident stopping power, while the belt drive and aluminium frame contribute to a smooth and durable ride. However, the motor’s lower power and slower charging time may affect performance on steep hills and during long trips, so it’s best suited for moderate terrain and regular use rather than intense climbing or rapid charging needs.
Best For
✓
This cargo e-bike should suit riders who need a reliable and practical bike for family use, errands, or utility trips that involve carrying heavier loads. Its above-average range and battery capacity, combined with confident braking and a removable battery, make it a strong choice for those prioritising everyday practicality and ease of use.

This cargo e-bike offers a legal-style pedal assist with strong torque support that should feel well-suited for carrying heavier loads and climbing hills, next to similar models in its category. The motor’s torque and cadence sensing should provide a balanced, predictable assistance that feels natural during loaded riding, though some similar e-bikes may offer more outright punch or liveliness for their weight. The motor’s torque should help with hill starts and maintaining momentum when carrying cargo, but the power-to-weight ratio may feel more modest, especially when the bike is fully loaded. The sensor setup should allow for smooth and responsive assistance, and the motor’s efficiency should support the bike’s strong range, making it a practical choice for longer rides or daily utility use. Riders looking for reliable, stable assistance with a focus on carrying capacity and everyday usability should find this motor setup to be a solid fit.

eBike FAQs
Is this bike suitable for carrying heavy loads on daily commutes or errands?
Yes, the Cube Cargo Hybrid Comfort SLX 800 is well-suited for carrying heavy loads on daily commutes or errands. Its design and above-average battery capacity provide a good range for regular use, and the removable battery adds convenience for charging. However, the motor’s lower power may mean you’ll need to exert a bit more effort on steep hills, so it’s best for moderate terrain and everyday practicality rather than intense climbing.
How does the motor perform when climbing hills with a heavy load?
The motor provides adequate support for climbing hills with a heavy load, but its 250W power and above-average torque of 85Nm may struggle on very steep inclines. While it should handle moderate hills with a load, you may find it less effective on consistently steep terrain. The bike is better suited for regular, everyday use with moderate elevation changes rather than intense climbing.
Is the battery efficient enough for longer rides without frequent recharging?
The Cube Cargo Hybrid Comfort SLX 800 offers a range of around 80 miles on a single charge, which should be sufficient for most longer rides, especially when carrying moderate loads. The 800Wh battery is above average for this type of bike and is paired with good efficiency, so you won’t need to recharge too often. However, if you're planning very long trips or carrying heavy loads regularly, you may want to plan for additional charging stops or consider a larger battery option if available.
How practical is this bike for everyday use, especially with built-in features like lights?
This bike is quite practical for everyday use, especially with built-in lights that make it easy to ride safely during early mornings or evenings. The included lights add real convenience for daily commutes or errands, and the removable battery makes charging straightforward. While the motor isn’t the most powerful, it should handle regular use and moderate loads without issue, making it a solid choice for practical, everyday riding.
Does the bike’s weight affect its handling or ease of use for regular riders?
The bike’s weight of 50 kg is on the higher side for a cargo e-bike, which may make it feel slightly heavier when maneuvering, especially in tight spaces or when lifting it for storage. However, this weight is typical for a cargo bike designed to carry heavy loads, and the sturdy frame and components help maintain stability and control during regular use. Most riders should find it manageable for everyday commutes and errands, though it may require a bit more effort when pushing or lifting compared to lighter models.
How does the charging time compare to similar cargo bikes, and is it a drawback?
The Cube Cargo Hybrid Comfort SLX 800 takes longer than average to charge compared to similar cargo bikes, which may be a drawback if you need to recharge quickly. However, the removable battery offers flexibility, allowing you to charge it separately from the bike, which can be convenient for some users. While the charging time is slower, the bike’s overall efficiency and range make it a practical choice for regular use, especially if you don’t need to recharge frequently.
Is this bike a good value for the price, considering its features and performance?
The Cube Cargo Hybrid Comfort SLX 800 offers a solid set of features for a cargo bike, especially with its 800Wh battery and removable design, which makes it convenient for daily use and charging. However, the motor power is on the lower side for this category, which may affect performance on steep hills or when carrying heavy loads. At GBP 5,499, it's a strong option for those prioritizing range, practicality, and ease of use, but buyers should consider whether the motor's limitations align with their specific needs.
What are the main compromises or limitations of this bike compared to others in its category?
This bike is well-suited for carrying loads and daily use, but it has some limitations compared to others in its category. The motor power is on the lower side, which may make climbing steep hills with heavy loads feel less effortless. Additionally, the charging time is slower than average, which could be inconvenient if you need to recharge quickly. However, the bike compensates with a high-capacity battery, good range, and practical features for everyday utility and family use.
