EVERYTHING ABOUT THE CUBE LONGTAIL HYBRID
What is a longtail bike?
You see them more and more often on the streets: e-bikes with a noticeably long luggage rack. These are longtail bikes. A smart all-rounder that forms a middle ground between a regular e-bike and a cargo bike.
A longtail bike has an extended frame with an integrated rear rack. This makes it easy to transport heavy cargo, multiple panniers, or even children. The difference with a cargo bike? The load sits behind you instead of in front. This provides a natural steering feel and much greater maneuverability, especially in busy city traffic.
Why choose a longtail e-bike?
A longtail e-bike is ideal for anyone who wants to carry a lot but also wants to travel comfortably. It's just as relaxed to ride as a regular e-bike, while offering a surprisingly large capacity. Perfect for trips to school, grocery shopping, commuting, or a busy day in the city. Thanks to the electric assist, cycling remains light and comfortable, even with extra weight on the back.
Benefits of the CUBE Longtail Hybrid
- More agile than a cargo bike
Because the load is mounted on the rear of the luggage carrier, a longtail bike steers stably and predictably. - Suitable for children and luggage
The extra-long rack offers space for multiple panniers or child seats. It can easily accommodate four panniers or two children. - Space saving
A longtail bike is just as wide as a regular electric bike with panniers. This means it fits easily not only on bike paths but also in a shed.
