Where to buy
Priced at £5,999, this e-bike is on the higher end for mountain e-bikes from 2025, with its strong torque support and efficient battery use being key value points. However, some competitors in the same category may offer a more responsive ride or better handling with heavier loads.
Compared with similar mountain bike e-bikes on Bikkerr, this model sits £550.93 above average
At £5,999, this e-bike sits at a price point that feels higher than many similar mountain e-bikes from the same year, and buyers should consider whether the features justify the cost. The torque support and efficient battery use stand out, offering strong hill-climbing assistance and reasonable range for off-road riding, while the hydraulic brakes and dual suspension add confidence and comfort on rough terrain. However, some alternatives in the same category may offer a more responsive ride for their weight or better handling with heavier loads. For a mountain e-bike, the balance of power, comfort and control is solid, but the price is likely to be a key consideration for buyers looking for value. Riders who prioritise torque support, suspension comfort and reliable braking may find the price more justifiable, especially if they're focused on trail performance over outright speed or load capacity.

This mountain e-bike offers legal-style pedal assist with strong torque support that should feel effective on climbs and low-speed rough terrain. Next to similar models, it provides a balanced and predictable assistance feel, though some e-bikes may offer more outright punch or liveliness for their weight. The torque sensing should help maintain control on technical trails, and the motor's efficiency should support a reasonable range for its category. Riders looking for a smooth, responsive ride with good trail control may find this motor setup well-suited to their needs, though those prioritizing maximum acceleration or steep hill climbing might consider models with higher power output.

eBike FAQs
Is this bike suitable for challenging off-road trails?
This mountain bike is well-suited for challenging off-road trails, thanks to its hydraulic disc brakes, which provide confident stopping power, and its mountain bike design, which is built for trail riding. The bike's above-average torque helps with climbing, and the removable battery adds convenience for charging. However, the motor's lower power and the bike's weight may make steep climbs feel more effortful, so riders should expect to put in some physical effort on very steep or technical terrain.
How does the motor perform when climbing steep hills?
The motor provides controlled assistance that should help with moderate climbs, but the 250W power and 85Nm torque may feel less impactful on very steep hills. While the torque is above average for this type of e-bike, the overall power-to-weight ratio is low, which could make steep ascents feel more effortful. You may find it helpful to use lower assistance levels or plan for more frequent stops to manage energy efficiently on challenging terrain.
Does the bike offer enough range for long off-road rides?
The bike offers a range of 60 miles, which should be sufficient for most long off-road rides, especially considering its efficient battery use. However, if you're planning extremely long or demanding rides, you may need to plan for mid-ride charging or carry a spare battery. The removable battery adds convenience for charging and storage, making it easier to manage longer trips.
How comfortable is the bike on rough terrain?
The CUBE AMS HYBRID 177 C:62 SUPER TM 600X should handle rough terrain reasonably well, thanks to its mountain bike design and suspension system, which help absorb shocks and keep the ride more comfortable. However, the bike's lower motor power and heavier weight may make it feel less responsive on very technical or steep trails. The hydraulic disc brakes should provide reliable stopping power, which is important for maintaining control on rough or uneven surfaces.
Is the battery efficient enough for regular use?
The battery should provide a reliable range for regular off-road use, especially considering its efficiency and the 60-mile range it offers. With a removable battery, you can easily charge it at home or on the go, which is convenient for frequent riders. However, if you're planning long rides or have heavy usage, you may need to plan for additional charging stops.
How practical is this bike for daily ownership and maintenance?
This bike is reasonably practical for daily ownership, with a removable battery that makes charging and storage more convenient. However, the charging time is on the slower side for a bike in this category, which could be a consideration for frequent riders. The bike’s weight and motor power may also mean that steep climbs feel more effortful, so riders should be prepared for that if they're tackling challenging terrain regularly.
Is this bike good value for its price compared to similar models?
This bike is reasonably priced for a mountain e-bike with its features, but it may not offer the best value compared to similar models. While it has a good range and efficient battery, the motor power is on the lower side for its category, which could affect performance on steeper trails. The price point might be higher than some alternatives that offer more powerful motors or faster charging times, so buyers should consider their priorities between range, weight, and motor strength when evaluating value.
What are the main limitations or trade-offs of this bike?
This bike is well-suited for trail riding, but it has a few trade-offs to consider. The motor power is on the lower side for a mountain e-bike, which may make steep climbs feel more effortful, especially when carrying extra weight. Additionally, the bike's weight is below average, but combined with the lower motor power, it could affect acceleration and hill-climbing performance. The charging time is average for this category, so you may need to plan around longer charging sessions if you're riding frequently.
