Overview
The Cube Nuride Hybrid SLT 800 is a versatile all-terrain e-bike that balances everyday practicality with light off-road capability. Its high-capacity battery and removable design make it convenient for charging and storage, while the hydraulic disc brakes offer confident stopping power on mixed surfaces. The 250W motor provides smooth support for casual riding, though it lacks the punch for steep climbs or rapid acceleration. At 26.5kg, it feels heavier than average, which may make lifting it more effortful, and the 6.5-hour charge time is notably slow compared to similar models.

This all-terrain e-bike offers a balanced motor assistance that should feel natural and predictable on mixed surfaces, with strong torque support to help with climbs and low-speed rough terrain. Next to similar models, it provides a solid level of assistance but may feel less punchy or lively compared to some heavier or more powerful e-bikes in the same category. The torque should help with hill climbing and technical trails, though riders looking for more aggressive acceleration may find the motor slightly modest. The torque and cadence sensor setup should make the assistance feel more responsive and controllable, especially when adjusting effort or navigating uneven ground. Riders who prioritize smooth, predictable assistance for everyday mixed-terrain use should 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?
The Cube Nuride Hybrid SLT 800 is well-suited for long rides on mixed terrain, thanks to its hydraulic disc brakes, which provide confident stopping power on both paved and rough surfaces. With a range of 75 miles, it should handle most daily commutes or extended rides without needing frequent recharging. However, the 250W motor may feel less powerful when tackling steep inclines or accelerating quickly, so riders should manage expectations for more demanding climbs.
How does the motor perform when climbing hills?
The motor provides smooth support for moderate hills but may struggle with very steep inclines. While the 85 Nm torque is strong for its class, the 250W motor power is on the lower end, which means you'll need to pedal more actively on challenging climbs. This bike is better suited for gentle to moderate gradients rather than extremely steep terrain.
Does the battery provide enough range for daily commuting?
The 800Wh battery should give you a range of around 75 miles on a single charge, which is more than enough for most daily commutes. This range is above average for similar e-bikes, so you can expect to ride comfortably between charges without needing to stop for a recharge. The removable battery also makes it easy to charge at home or work, adding to its practicality for everyday use.
How practical is the removable battery for charging and storage?
The removable battery on the Cube Nuride Hybrid SLT 800 is quite practical for charging and storage. You can easily take the battery out to charge it separately, which is convenient 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, though the bike’s weight and size may still make it a bit cumbersome to move around.
Is this bike good value for money compared to similar e-bikes?
The Cube Nuride Hybrid SLT 800 offers good value for money when considering its high-capacity battery, removable design, and hydraulic disc brakes, which provide confident stopping power on mixed surfaces. While the 250W motor may not be the most powerful in its class, it still delivers smooth support for casual riding and everyday use. The bike's weight and slower charging time are trade-offs, but overall, it's a well-equipped option for mixed-surface riding within its price range.
How does the bike handle on uneven trails or off-road surfaces?
The Cube Nuride Hybrid SLT 800 handles uneven trails and off-road surfaces reasonably well for an all-terrain e-bike, thanks to its hydraulic disc brakes, which provide confident stopping power on mixed surfaces. While the 250W motor offers smooth support for casual off-road riding, it may struggle with steep or technical terrain. The bike’s higher weight could also make it feel less agile on rougher trails, but its high-capacity battery ensures you can cover more ground before needing to recharge.
What are the main compromises of this bike compared to others in its category?
Compared to similar all-terrain e-bikes, the Cube Nuride Hybrid SLT 800 has a lower motor power and a slower charging time, which may affect performance on steep hills and convenience for frequent charging. It also feels heavier than average, making it slightly more effortful to lift or carry. However, it compensates with a high-capacity battery, removable design, and confident braking, making it a solid choice for mixed-surface riding and daily use.
How comfortable is this bike for everyday use and longer rides?
The Cube Nuride Hybrid SLT 800 offers a reasonably comfortable ride for everyday use and longer rides, thanks to its well-balanced frame and ergonomic design. The 250W motor provides smooth support for casual riding, and the hydraulic disc brakes give confident stopping power on mixed surfaces. However, the bike's weight of 26.5kg may make it feel less nimble, and the 6.5-hour charge time could be a drawback for frequent riders. Overall, it's a solid choice for daily commutes and light off-road adventures.
