https://electricbikereview.com/cube/cargo-sport-hybrid/ The CUBE Cargo Sport Hybrid is a sporty box bike with a suspension fork that can handle up to two children in the front, and maneuver like a traditional bicycle on two wheels vs. three. Bike weight and cargo weight is low and center for stability. larger 27.5" x 2.4" rear wheel adds comfort. All hardware is aluminum alloy vs. steel, so it won’t rust and weighs less. Thoughtfully designed passenger seats, rain cover, and double battery options expand the possibilities. Available with a 10-speed Shimano Deore drivetrain (this is the Sport model) or Enviolo CVT for the standard model. Both versions can be outfitted with one or two battery packs for increased range, and there’s an extra mount for adding a bottle cage or other accessory that is’t compromised. Long 430mm seat post and telescoping height stem provide a wide range of fit options. The mid-step frame is approachable but still very stiff. The bike doesn’t flex as much as many two wheel long tail cargo bikes I’ve reviewed but it is heavier overall. Sturdy double-leg kickstand makes loading stable but springs up easily as you take off. Long mountain bike style handlebar and Viscoset headset smooths out turns. Integrated lights, reflective puncture-resistant tires, and wide plastic fenders help keep you clean and safe. Strong Bosch Cargo Line motor is perfect for hauling cargo, but also provides shift detection to reduce drivetrain wear. The bike is long and low for stability, but this means it can be difficult to transport and more prone to undercarriage strikes when riding over tall obstacles. Upgraded ebike specific hydraulic disc brakes are perfect for a bike this size. Fewer accessories and lower weight capacity than some competing products.
