  • Here’s the video of the first proper ride on my new 2023 Cube Stereo Hybrid HPC 160 Action team EMTB. We took the bike onto the familiar red trail there and did our favourite loop edit which is about 13 miles / 1.5 hrs. It would give me a good indication of the handling, grip, and all round general performance of the Cube.
    You will hopefully see from the video how it rides and pick up on my comments and whoops along the way, but there are a few minutes at the end where I try to summarise on my experience.
    If you want to see more, please like and subscribe and tell ya mates! 🙂

    Greetings,.Great bikes, I bought the same one three months ago in Croatia for €6,000, there was some kind of sale on that model for €1,000, only I got mine with a black fork, not orange, really interesting, the only thing that doesn't suit me is the seat, these days I ordered a new one, wider for longer drives, because the original one is horrible, after 40 km on it, I can no longer sit on my bum because of the pain,(normally I drive about 70 km per day with only 50% battery in the mountains, I only use trail mode over 90% 🤪) and another thing that annoys me is that it is limited to 25 km max, because after that the engine provides resistance that is not very pleasant ,Since I have a lot of fitness, I want to ride that bike faster than 30 km without engine resistance, and as far as I can see, I will have to put some chip in it that is not legal 😮

      I highly recommend the Nukeproof seat on mine, very comfortable and not a massive ugly thing! Only cost about £35 too.

    Great vid. Thanks for uploading.
    How you doing with distance/hours/elevation on a full battery?
    I`m surrounded by hills of up to 1000m and don't want to get caught out.
    Thanks in advance.

      Difficult to say really. I typically do local bike park trails and off piste, so a fair bit of climbing but not exactly mountainous! I probably average about 20 miles for 40-50% battery consumption? That’s a mixture of mainly Tour+ and EMTB modes. Hope that helps

      I prefer it in most ways apart from I wish I had a 29” wheel up front but it’s not a regret, more an opportunity to make it a smidge better. The cube is a lot cheaper to buy too 🙂

    Either you have some killer audio settings or the motor is very quiet!

    I was pretty much set on going to get one them saw that dredded word i totally avoid like the plague "Carbon frame" no thanks not for me after seeing the shortcuts made to make them lighter no wonder they snap so easy now

      I have two carbon frame bikes, one a Santa Cruz Nomad and a Cube Ebike. Both of which I’ve never had an issue with. I suppose if you were a rider who sends it large, big jumps, fast enduro DH etc, then maybe that’s a concern, especially if you were to crash it, but for my style and intermediate level of riding, that’s probably not going to be something I need to worry about. These bikes are pretty robust, it would likely be me who breaks first! 😉
