Overview
The Cube Fold Hybrid Comfort 545 is a practical folding e-bike designed for urban commuting and easy storage, with a lightweight aluminium frame and efficient battery use that delivers a solid range for daily trips. Its smooth motor support, thanks to torque and cadence sensing, makes for a natural riding feel, while the removable battery adds flexibility for charging and storage. Hydraulic disc brakes provide confident stopping power, and built-in lights enhance usability in low-light conditions. However, the bike's heavier weight and lower motor punch may make it less lively for quick acceleration or steep climbs, so it's best suited for flat to gently undulating routes.

Where to buy
The £2,699 price feels demanding for a folding e-bike, though the strong torque and large battery capacity offer good performance for daily use. Its weight and lack of suspension may limit comfort on rougher terrain.
Compared with similar folding bike e-bikes on Bikkerr, this model sits £461.75 above average
The Cube Fold Hybrid Comfort 545 is listed at £2,699, which feels higher than many similar folding e-bikes from 2025, though it’s positioned as a premium option in this category. It compares well against rivals with a strong battery capacity and torque support that should make for confident, responsive assistance, especially for urban riding. However, some similar e-bikes may feel more lively for their weight, and the 25.5kg weight could make lifting and storage slightly more challenging. For a folding e-bike, the balance of battery range, braking confidence and torque-sensing assistance makes it a solid option for daily commuting, but buyers should weigh whether the weight and price are acceptable trade-offs for the features on offer. Riders prioritising portability and everyday usability may find the value more compelling, while those seeking a lighter, more agile folding e-bike might find alternatives more appealing.

eBike FAQs
Is this bike suitable for daily commuting and folding into small spaces?
The Cube Fold Hybrid Comfort 545 is well-suited for daily commuting, thanks to its efficient battery use and practical design. Its folding frame makes it easy to store in small spaces, such as apartments or offices, and the removable battery adds convenience for charging. However, the bike's higher weight might make it slightly less easy to lift and carry, so consider this if you need to move it frequently.
How does the motor perform when climbing hills or accelerating from a stop?
The motor provides smooth and controlled assistance, which is great for everyday riding, but it may feel less punchy when accelerating from a stop or climbing steeper hills. With 250 watts of motor power and 65 Newton meters of torque, it should handle gentle inclines and city traffic well, but you might notice a slight delay or need for extra effort on more challenging climbs. This makes it a good fit for flat to mildly hilly routes rather than steep terrain.
Does the battery provide enough range for regular city trips or longer commutes?
The Cube Fold Hybrid Comfort 545 offers a range of around 55 miles on a single charge, which should be sufficient for regular city trips and even some longer commutes, depending on your riding style and terrain. The high battery capacity and efficient use of power help extend this range, making it practical for daily use. However, if you frequently take very long rides or ride in hilly areas, you may need to plan for additional charging stops.
How easy is it to lift and carry this bike, considering its weight?
The Cube Fold Hybrid Comfort 545 weighs 25.5 kg, which is on the heavier side for a folding e-bike, so it may feel a bit cumbersome to lift, especially if you need to carry it up stairs or into tight spaces. However, the removable battery adds some flexibility, as you can take it out for charging without having to lift the whole bike each time. If you're looking for a bike that's easy to carry, you might want to consider lighter models, but this one still offers good practicality for folding and storage overall.
Is this bike good value for money compared to other folding e-bikes in its class?
The Cube Fold Hybrid Comfort 545 offers a solid balance of features for a folding e-bike in its class, with a high-capacity battery that provides a decent range for daily use and a removable battery that adds convenience for charging. While its motor power is on the lower end for this type of bike, the high torque and smooth assistance make it suitable for city riding and gentle inclines. At its price point, it's a practical choice for commuters who prioritize folding convenience, battery life, and everyday usability over aggressive performance.
How practical is the removable battery for charging and storage?
The removable battery on the Cube Fold Hybrid Comfort 545 is very practical for charging and storage. You can easily take the battery out to charge it separately, which is useful if you don’t have a dedicated charging spot for the bike. This also makes it easier to store the battery when not in use, such as during travel or when keeping the bike in a small space. The high battery capacity ensures you get a good range for daily use, and the removable design adds flexibility for managing power needs.
What are the main compromises or limitations of this bike compared to similar models?
Compared to similar folding e-bikes, the Cube Fold Hybrid Comfort 545 has a heavier weight, which may make it slightly less convenient to lift and carry, especially for frequent folding. Its motor power is below average for this type of bike, which could result in a less lively feel when accelerating or climbing steeper hills. However, the high torque and efficient battery help maintain a smooth and controlled ride for most urban conditions.
How comfortable is this bike for longer rides or daily use?
The Cube Fold Hybrid Comfort 545 offers a reasonably comfortable ride for daily use, with a well-designed frame that should handle city commutes and shorter trips without discomfort. The smooth motor assistance and efficient power delivery help reduce rider fatigue, especially on flat or gently undulating terrain. However, the bike's heavier weight may affect comfort during long rides, so it's best suited for shorter, everyday journeys rather than extended touring.
