Where to buy
Priced at £3,299, the Cube Kathmandu Hybrid PRO 800 Easy Entry is broadly in line with similar 2025 commuter e-bikes, offering a solid balance of battery range and torque-sensing assistance. While its 6.5-hour charge time is slower than some rivals, the focus on daily usability and reliability makes it a practical choice for commuters.
Compared with similar commuter bike e-bikes on Bikkerr, this model sits £5.86 below average
Priced at £3,299, the Cube Kathmandu Hybrid PRO 800 Easy Entry sits comfortably with similar commuter e-bikes from 2025, offering a balance that feels reasonable for the features included. Its battery capacity and range are strong points, performing well against similar models, and the torque-sensing assistance with 85 Nm of support should make for a smooth and responsive ride in urban environments. However, some competitors may offer a slightly more lively feel for their weight, and the 6.5-hour charge time is a bit slower than what some rivals provide. For a commuter e-bike, these trade-offs are relevant, as the focus is more on daily usability, comfort, and reliability rather than outright speed or rapid charging. Riders prioritising consistent power, good braking, and a reliable daily ride are likely to see the value in this model, especially with its strong battery and supportive motor assistance. The price is easier to understand when considering the practical features and the intended use of the bike.

This commuter e-bike offers a smooth and predictable assistance feel, with strong torque support that should help with hills and stop-start urban riding. Next to similar models, it provides a balanced and natural response, though some e-bikes in the category may feel more lively or punchier under effort. The torque and cadence sensor setup should make the assistance feel more intuitive, especially when accelerating or climbing, though it may not be the most aggressive option for steep inclines. Riders looking for a reliable, comfortable motor setup that prioritizes everyday usability and range over raw power should find this motor setup well-suited to their needs.

eBike FAQs
Is this bike suitable for daily commuting in the city?
Yes, this bike is well-suited for daily city commuting. It offers a comfortable ride with front suspension to handle rough roads, and hydraulic disc brakes provide reliable stopping power even in wet conditions. The 800Wh battery should cover most commutes, and the removable battery makes charging and storage more convenient. However, the motor is on the weaker side for quick acceleration, so it may feel a bit sluggish when merging into traffic or climbing steeper hills.
How does the motor perform when climbing hills?
The motor provides smooth and controlled assistance when climbing hills, but it lacks the punch for quick acceleration or steep inclines. With 85Nm of torque, it should handle moderate hills reasonably well, though you may need to pedal more actively on steeper grades. The 250W motor power means it's better suited for flat to gently sloping terrain rather than aggressive climbs.
Does the battery last long enough for a full day of commuting?
The 800Wh battery should provide a range of around 75 miles on a single charge, which is more than enough for most daily commutes, even with some extra stops or detours. The removable battery adds convenience for charging at home or work, though the charging time is slower than some competitors. If you have a longer commute or plan to use the bike for multiple trips in a day, you may need to plan for additional charging stops.
How practical is the bike for storage and charging at home?
The Cube Kathmandu Hybrid PRO 800 Easy Entry has a removable battery, which makes it easier to charge at home without needing to carry the whole bike. However, the bike itself doesn’t fold, so storage will depend on the available space in your home. Its weight of 26.8kg means it may be a bit heavy to move around, but the removable battery adds flexibility for charging and storage needs.
Is the bike comfortable for long rides on rough city roads?
The Cube Kathmandu Hybrid PRO 800 Easy Entry is designed with comfort in mind for daily urban rides, featuring front suspension that helps smooth out rough roads and potholes. While the bike is heavier than average, the suspension and ergonomic design should make long rides on uneven city streets more comfortable. However, the motor's lower power and the bike's weight may make it slightly less responsive on very rough or uneven surfaces.
How does the bike handle in terms of acceleration and power delivery?
The bike provides smooth and controlled power delivery, making it easy to manage in city traffic and on varied terrain. While the motor lacks the punch for quick acceleration or steep climbs, the high torque helps maintain steady momentum on inclines. The assistance feels natural and responsive, especially when paired with the bike's front suspension and hydraulic disc brakes, which help keep things stable and predictable during everyday rides.
Is this bike good value for the price compared to similar e-bikes?
The Cube Kathmandu Hybrid PRO 800 Easy Entry offers a solid mix of features that justify its price, especially if you prioritize comfort, battery life, and practicality for daily city use. The 800Wh battery provides a long range, and the removable battery adds convenience for charging. However, the motor power is on the lower side, which may affect acceleration and hill climbing. While it’s well-equipped for everyday riding, the slower charging time and heavier frame could be drawbacks for some buyers. Overall, it’s a good option if you value reliability and comfort over speed and portability.
What are the main compromises or trade-offs of this bike?
The main trade-offs of this bike include its lower motor power, which means it lacks the punch for quick acceleration or steep climbs, and its slower charging time compared to similar models. While the 800Wh battery offers a solid range for most commutes, the heavier weight makes it slightly harder to lift, and the frame doesn't fold, limiting storage options. However, the bike compensates with smooth power delivery, good comfort on rough roads, and reliable braking for everyday use.
