Overview
The Cube Nuride Hybrid SLT 800 Trapeze is a versatile all-terrain e-bike designed for mixed-surface riding, blending everyday practicality with light off-road capability. Its 800Wh battery provides a solid range for most daily commutes, while the removable battery adds convenience for charging and storage. The motor offers smooth and controlled assistance, making it easy to manage on varied terrain, though it lacks the punch for rapid acceleration or steep climbs. Weighing 27kg, it feels sturdy but may be harder to lift, and the 6.5-hour charge time is notably slow compared to similar models. Overall, it's a well-equipped, value-focused option for riders prioritizing range and versatility over speed and quick charging.

This all-terrain e-bike offers a smooth and predictable assistance feel with strong torque support for mixed surfaces and moderate climbs. Next to similar models, it should feel more balanced and controlled rather than outright powerful, with the torque and cadence sensor helping to keep the assistance natural and responsive. The motor should provide enough support for climbing and low-speed rough terrain, though some similar e-bikes may offer more immediate acceleration or a livelier feel for their weight. The sensor setup and ride modes should allow for good control over assistance levels, making it suitable for varied trails and everyday use. Riders looking for a reliable and comfortable all-terrain e-bike with strong torque and predictable support may find this motor setup well-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 rides on mixed terrain?
This bike is well-suited for long rides on mixed terrain, thanks to its 800Wh battery, which provides a solid range of 75 miles on a single charge. The all-terrain design and smooth power delivery make it comfortable and reliable for varied surfaces, though it may struggle with steep climbs or rapid acceleration. The removable battery adds convenience for charging, but the 6.5-hour charge time could be a consideration for frequent riders.
How does the motor perform when climbing hills?
The motor provides smooth and controlled assistance when climbing hills, but it may struggle with very steep inclines due to its 250W power rating and relatively low power-to-weight ratio. While the high torque of 85Nm helps with maintaining momentum, riders should expect a more gradual climb rather than rapid acceleration up steep hills. This makes it suitable for moderate inclines but less ideal for very challenging terrain.
Is the battery capacity large enough for daily commuting or weekend rides?
The 800Wh battery should provide enough range for most daily commutes and weekend rides, especially with the controlled assistance from the motor. However, if you plan longer rides or frequently ride in hilly areas, you may need to plan for additional charging stops. The removable battery adds convenience for charging and storage, making it easier to manage your rides throughout the day.
How practical is this bike for everyday use, especially with built-in lights and removable battery?
This bike is quite practical for everyday use, especially with its built-in lights that make it easy to ride safely during early mornings or late evenings. The removable battery is a big plus, as it allows you to charge it separately from the bike, which is convenient for storage and travel. While the bike is well-equipped for daily commutes, its weight and slower charging time may be considerations for frequent users.
Does the bike feel heavy to lift or handle, given its weight?
At 27kg, the Cube Nuride Hybrid SLT 800 Trapeze is on the heavier side for an all-terrain e-bike, which may make it feel more challenging to lift, especially if you're used to lighter models. However, its weight is balanced by a sturdy frame and practical design, making it manageable for most everyday situations. The added heft is offset by its robust build and the convenience of a removable battery, which helps with charging and storage needs.
How does the charging time compare to similar e-bikes, and is it a concern for regular use?
The Cube Nuride Hybrid SLT 800 Trapeze takes around 6.5 hours to fully charge, which is slower than many similar e-bikes. This could be a concern for regular use, especially if you need to recharge frequently. However, the removable battery makes it easier to charge at home or work, which helps manage the longer charging time more conveniently.
Is this bike a good value option compared to other all-terrain e-bikes?
The Cube Nuride Hybrid SLT 800 Trapeze offers solid value for an all-terrain e-bike, especially if you prioritize range and versatility over speed or quick charging. Its 800Wh battery provides a strong range for daily use, and the removable battery adds convenience for charging and storage. However, the motor’s lower power and slower charging time may be a drawback for riders who need rapid acceleration or frequent top-ups. It’s a good choice for serious commuters and light off-road riders who value practicality and endurance over performance-driven features.
What are the main compromises or trade-offs of this bike compared to others in its category?
This bike offers a good balance of range and versatility for all-terrain use, but it does have some trade-offs. The motor power is on the lower side compared to similar models, which means it may feel less responsive when accelerating or climbing steeper hills. Additionally, the 27kg weight makes it slightly heavier than average, which could make lifting or carrying the bike more challenging. While the 800Wh battery provides a long range, the charging time is notably slower, which might be a drawback for riders who need to recharge frequently.
