Originally designed for apartment dwellers, it took up less footprint in a foyer or hallway. But the real advantage is that there is no better bike for the city than a smaller wheeled bike. But why?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePhysics is the answer! Unlike country riding - which is pretty much what every bike sold in North America is designed for - city riding involves two constants. The first is endless stops and interruptions. Stop signs. Red lights. Pedestrians not looking both ways before they cross the street. Riding in the city means you stop-and-go a lot and a small wheel has one major thing going for it: massive acceleration! A small wheel simply moves more revolutions per pedal stroke than a larger wheel. That means it reaches top speed quickly, and that makes you surprisingly fast. The second truth about riding in the city is that you rarely ride in a straight line. Cities are made up of constant 90 degree corners which require a bike with sharp and quick handling. And, the smaller the wheel, the better the cornering! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cube Fold Sport Hybrid takes this long history and adds a powerful Bosch motor, a very clever handlebar that twists so it takes up less space in your hallway, and even further, folds to a transportable size! The Bosch motor reads your pedalling torque, pedalling revolutions, and wheel revolutions and constantly adjusts the power output to your needs. If you go up a hill, it knows and cranks up the power. When you get to the top of hill it powers back and continues to hum in the background. If you want more of this mind-reading power, you can crank the system up for more assistance too. It's quite sensational!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest of the bike is a story of smart engineering. An easy step-through frame that is unisex and designed for all riders. Hydraulic disc brakes to ensure intuitive yet powerful speed control.

And, that means a lot. Germany is home to largest e-bike market in the world and also the highest regulations. This regulatory environment produces some of the best products out there since each brand competes with other brands for the highest level of safety. These regulations, known as the \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStraßenverkehrszulassungsordnung\u003c\/em\u003e (try saying that three times fast!) cover everything from the nature of dynamo or electric lighting beams (and how they are not permitted to blind oncoming traffic) to the quality of everything from the kickstand to the rear racks. Built in Germany, Cube thus has access to tons of German parts that are made-in-Germany and are not easily available in China - where most e-bikes are made. Finally, there's just something ephemeral about the deep experience and maturity that is built into a Cube bike. Where so many North American brands are still figuring out how to build e-bikes, Cube has that all figured out and leads from the front. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhy Bosch as the motor\/battery system?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBosch has been supplying the automotive industry for over 100 years and when they entered the e-bike market in the early 2000s they did so with a commitment to carrying over their extensive experience and focus on high standards of quality and reliability. As evidence of this Bosch was the first e-bike brand to ensure all of its motors, batteries and chargers meet UL 2849, an international \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ee-bike safety standard. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBosch also draws on its automotive experience to create and maintain a massive network of highly trained dealers and service centres. This means you won’t struggle to find service for your bike whether that's with us or in another city around the world. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDue to the high quality of the motor\/battery systems and the massive network of service centres, investing in a Bosch system will save you time and money on maintenance and repairs over the life of the bike. Bosch also offers a spare parts guarantee, meaning they are committed to producing replacement parts, even for their discontinued systems, which means a longer life for your bike! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eDoes the battery lock to the bike? \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYep. That’s one expensive chunk of Lithium Ion. Frame-mounted batteries lock on to the down-tube and only you can remove them with the key provided. Internal frame batteries are built into the bike, so no need to worry!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow long does it take to charge the battery?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt takes about five hours to charge a single battery from flat to full. The batteries don't have memory so there is no problem if you only charge the battery a little bit, halfway, or whatever. You’ll get over 1000 complete charges, which is typically 5+ years of use before a replacement is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eIs the unit serviceable?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou bet it is. For years the e-assist market was dominated by small fly-by-night companies with good ideas and no balance sheet. The consumer took all the risk and were often left with technical assistance phone numbers that no longer worked. Cube partner with Bosch, a huge player in the e-bike market – and they are sophisticated, which means they are updatable, diagnosable, and if something does break, fundamentally repairable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat's the lifetime on the battery?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eOn average you will get about 18,000-20,000 miles from the battery before it needs to be replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis is expensive! Will it get stolen?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEstimates are that over 90% of bicycle theft is tied to cash-for-drugs (unfortunately) and most bike losses are due to inferior or cheap locks. Make sure you buy a good \u003cspan\u003eABUS \u003c\/span\u003eU-lock or a chain and your bike will be safe. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat’s the warranty?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the original owner, Cube offers a two-year warranty for manufacturer defects on frame and fork, five years for frame \/ swingarm breakage, and two years on the battery.
