Overview
The CUBE AMS HYBRID ONE44 C:62 RACE 400X is a mountain bike designed for trail riding, offering smooth motor support and strong battery efficiency for a reasonable range. Its hydraulic disc brakes provide confident stopping power, while front and rear suspension make it comfortable on rough terrain. However, its lower motor power and torque may feel less punchy when accelerating or climbing steep hills, and the battery capacity, while efficient, limits longer rides. The non-removable battery also means charging is a bit slower and less convenient for some users.

Where to buy
Priced at £4,299, this 2025 Cube e-mountain bike offers a favourable position against similar models from the same year, with its efficient 400Wh battery and responsive trail performance. The trade-off lies in its more modest battery capacity and slightly slower charge time compared to some alternatives.
Compared with similar mountain bike e-bikes on Bikkerr, this model sits £1,063.99 below average
Best price ever seen:
£4,299.00Prices update every ~24 hours
At £4,299, this e-bike sits comfortably within the price range of similar mountain e-bikes from 2025, and the value case is supported by its efficient use of the 400Wh battery, along with features like hydraulic disc brakes, torque-sensing assistance and front and rear suspension that help it perform well on rougher terrain. However, some similar e-bikes may offer a larger battery or stronger climbing support, and the 6.5-hour charge time is a bit slower than some alternatives. For a mountain e-bike, the balance between its lightweight design and the more modest battery capacity seems to be a deliberate trade-off, which may appeal to riders who prioritise agility and control over extended range. Buyers looking for a well-rounded trail e-bike that feels responsive and comfortable on varied terrain are likely to see the value here, though those needing more range or stronger hill support might find other options more suitable.

This mountain e-bike offers a legal-style pedal assist that feels smooth and predictable, with a focus on natural response thanks to its torque and cadence sensor. Next to similar trail-focused models, it provides a more modest level of climbing support and low-speed punch, which may mean steeper ascents require more rider effort. The motor’s efficiency helps extend the bike’s range, though it may feel less lively compared to some heavier trail e-bikes with more powerful systems. The assistance should feel balanced and controllable, especially on technical trails, though riders looking for stronger motor punch or easier hill climbing may find some similar models more suited to their needs.
This explanation is based on the bike’s motor power, torque, battery capacity, claimed range, charging
time, sensor type and how those figures compare with similar e-bikes in our database.
eBike FAQs
Is this bike suitable for long off-road rides?
This mountain bike is well-suited for off-road trails, thanks to its hydraulic disc brakes and front and rear suspension, which provide good control and comfort on rough terrain. However, its lower motor power and torque may make it less effective for steep climbs or long rides, and the battery capacity limits range, which could be a consideration for extended off-road sessions.
How does the motor perform when climbing steep trails?
The motor provides smooth support for climbing trails, but its 250W power and 60Nm torque may feel less punchy on very steep inclines. While it should handle moderate climbs with ease, riders tackling consistently steep or technical trails might find the assistance less aggressive compared to bikes with higher motor power and torque. The bike's efficiency helps extend range, but the lower motor output could require more effort on the most challenging ascents.
Does the bike offer enough range for extended mountain biking sessions?
The bike offers a range of 45 miles, which should be sufficient for most mountain biking sessions, but may be limiting for extended or multi-day rides. While the battery is efficient, its lower capacity compared to similar e-bikes means you may need to plan for more frequent charging, especially on longer trails. This range is adequate for most trail riding, but if you're planning very long sessions, you might want to consider a bike with a larger battery capacity.
How comfortable is the bike on rough or uneven terrain?
The bike should feel reasonably comfortable on rough or uneven terrain thanks to its front and rear suspension, which should help absorb shocks and improve ride quality. However, the lower motor power and torque may make it feel less responsive when navigating particularly challenging trails, and the non-removable battery could be a minor inconvenience if you need to charge it frequently during longer rides.
Is the braking system reliable for high-speed off-road use?
The hydraulic disc brakes on this mountain bike should provide confident stopping power even at higher speeds on rough terrain. They are designed for off-road use and should handle most trail conditions effectively. However, braking performance can also depend on factors like tire grip and trail surface, so it's always a good idea to ride within your limits and maintain proper brake pad condition.
How does the battery efficiency compare to similar e-bikes?
The battery efficiency of this e-bike is strong for its size, delivering a reasonable range of 45 miles on a single charge. However, compared to similar e-bikes, its battery capacity is on the lower end, which may limit longer rides. The non-removable battery also means charging is less convenient and takes longer than some competitors, which could be a consideration for frequent riders.
Is this bike a good value option compared to other mountain e-bikes?
This bike offers solid features for trail riding, including good braking, suspension comfort, and efficient battery use, but its lower motor power and battery capacity may limit performance on demanding trails. At its listed price, it may not be the most competitive option compared to other mountain e-bikes with stronger motors and larger batteries, which could offer better acceleration and longer range for the same cost.
What are the main limitations of this bike for serious off-road riders?
This bike may feel less powerful when accelerating or climbing steep trails due to its lower motor power and torque. The battery capacity is also on the smaller side, which could limit ride time on longer off-road adventures. Additionally, the non-removable battery means charging is less convenient if you need to recharge quickly during multi-day trips.
