Overview
The Cube Kathmandu Hybrid ONE11 HPC SLT 800 Easy Entry is a well-rounded commuter bike designed for comfort and practicality on daily rides. Its 800Wh battery and removable design make charging and storage more flexible, while the front and rear suspension smooth out rough roads for a more comfortable ride. The motor provides smooth and controlled assistance, though it lacks the punch for quick acceleration or steep climbs. With a relatively heavy frame, it’s not the easiest to lift, and the 6.5-hour charge time is notably slow compared to similar models.
Best For
✓
This commuter e-bike should suit riders who prioritize comfort and practicality for daily travel, especially on rougher or uneven surfaces. Its above-average range and strong battery setup make it a good choice for longer commutes, while the front and rear suspension, along with smooth power delivery, help maintain control and comfort over varied terrain. The removable battery and hydraulic disc brakes also add convenience and confidence for urban riders who need flexibility and reliable stopping power.
Who Should Avoid It
×
Riders who prioritize fast charging or need to recharge frequently may want to compare alternatives, as the charge time is higher than on similar commuter e-bikes. Riders seeking the most aggressive hill-climbing assistance may also find this bike less compelling, as its torque is above average for this category but may not feel as powerful on very steep inclines. However, the bike still offers strong range and comfort for daily commuting, making it a solid choice for riders who value practicality and smooth power delivery over rapid charging or extreme climbing performance.

This commuter e-bike offers a smooth and predictable assistance feel, with strong torque support that should help with hills and stop-start city riding. Next to similar models, it provides a balanced and natural response thanks to its torque and cadence sensor, though some e-bikes in the same category may feel more lively or punchier under effort. The motor should assist well on moderate climbs and handle loaded riding reasonably, though it may not deliver the same level of acceleration or outright power as some competitors. The sensor setup should allow for responsive and controlled assistance, with ride modes that let riders adjust the support as needed. Riders looking for a reliable, comfortable motor that feels natural in daily use and can handle longer commutes should find this setup suitable.
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 daily commutes in the city?
This bike is well-suited for long daily commutes in the city, thanks to its 800Wh battery, which should provide a range of around 75 miles on a single charge. The front and rear suspension help absorb shocks from rough roads and potholes, making the ride more comfortable. However, the motor’s 250W power and relatively slow charging time may be a consideration for riders who need quick acceleration or frequent recharging.
How does the motor perform when climbing hills in the city?
The motor provides smooth and controlled assistance when climbing hills in the city, but it lacks the punch for quick acceleration or steep inclines. With a 250W motor and high torque of 85Nm, it should handle moderate hills with ease, though you may need to pedal more actively on steeper grades. The motor’s performance is best suited for typical city climbs rather than very steep or prolonged ascents.
Does the bike handle rough roads and potholes comfortably?
Yes, the Cube Kathmandu Hybrid ONE11 HPC SLT 800 Easy Entry handles rough roads and potholes comfortably, thanks to its front and rear suspension that smooths out uneven surfaces. This makes it a solid choice for city or suburban rides where road conditions can be unpredictable. While the motor provides controlled assistance, the suspension is the main factor in ensuring a comfortable ride over rough terrain.
Is the battery capacity large enough for a full day of riding?
The 800Wh battery should provide enough range for a full day of riding, especially for city or suburban commutes. With a range of up to 75 miles, it should handle multiple trips or longer rides, depending on your speed and terrain. The removable battery also makes it easier to charge at home or work, adding to its practicality for daily use.
How practical is the removable battery for charging and storage?
The removable battery is quite 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 can be a big plus for daily commuters who need to manage their charging routine efficiently. However, the bike's overall weight and lack of folding capability may still make it less convenient to store or transport compared to lighter or foldable models.
Is this bike good value for money compared to similar e-bikes?
This bike offers a solid mix of features that make it a reasonable value for city and suburban commuters. The high battery capacity and removable design are strong points, providing flexibility for charging and storage, while the hydraulic disc brakes and suspension help with comfort and control on rough roads. However, the slower charging time and lower motor power may be drawbacks for some riders, so it depends on what features are most important to you in a commuter e-bike.
How does the weight of the bike affect its ease of use and portability?
The bike's weight of 27.8 kg makes it somewhat heavier than average for a commuter e-bike, which can make lifting it for storage or carrying it up stairs a bit more challenging. However, the weight is balanced by the sturdy frame and suspension, which contribute to stability and comfort during rides. While it's not the lightest option, the weight doesn't significantly impact the bike's performance on city roads or its overall ease of use for daily commuting.
What are the main compromises or trade-offs of this bike?
This bike offers a comfortable and practical ride for daily commutes, but there are a few trade-offs to consider. The motor has lower power compared to similar models, which may make quick acceleration or steep climbs feel less responsive. Additionally, the bike is heavier than average, making it slightly harder to lift or carry, and the charging time is notably slower than many competitors. However, the large battery capacity and removable design help compensate for these limitations in terms of range and convenience.
