Cargo bikes have long been a popular choice for families, small business owners, and urban commuters. Especially in bustling cities, a cargo bike offers a sustainable, agile, and practical solution for transporting children, groceries, or goods. But what if you're looking for something different from a traditional cargo bike? Fortunately, CUBE, known for its innovative and reliable e-bikes, offers excellent alternatives.
Why consider an alternative?
A standard cargo bike like the CUBE Cargo Hybrid offers many advantages: stability, ample cargo space, and a solid construction. However, there are situations where a different type of transport bike may better suit your needs. Consider:
- Limited storage space: A cargo bike is relatively large.
- Maneuverability in narrow streets.
- Specific cargo needs (e.g., longer items or multiple passengers).
- Balance or stability with heavy loads.
In these cases, the CUBE Longtail and the CUBE Trike are excellent alternatives.
CUBE Longtail Hybrid: slim, powerful, and versatile
The CUBE Longtail Hybrid is designed with versatility and daily usability in mind. Instead of a front cargo box, this electric bike features an extended rear frame, allowing you to transport children, luggage, or even small loads.
Key benefits:
- Compact design: Despite its cargo capacity, the Longtail Hybrid is slimmer and lighter than a cargo bike.
- Versatile cargo options: Thanks to an extended luggage rack and optional accessories like child seats and side bags, this bike is ideal for families and commuters.
- Powerful Bosch drive system: The reliable mid-motor ensures a smooth ride, even when fully loaded.
- Durability and comfort: CUBE is known for its high-quality finish, translating into a stable, comfortable ride.
The Longtail Hybrid is an excellent choice for those who want to combine maneuverability, speed, and functionality. Ideal in urban environments where space is limited.

CUBE Trike Hybrid: stability and safety combined
The CUBE Trike Hybrid is perfect for those who want the stability of a tricycle combined with the comfort of electric assistance. This three-wheeled e-bike was developed in collaboration with BMW, resulting in an advanced design and superior riding experience.
Key features:
- Three wheels for extra stability: Ideal for people who feel uncertain on a traditional two-wheeler, especially with heavy loads.
- Spacious, lockable cargo area: At the rear is a large transport box, suitable for groceries or children.
- Safe and intuitive: Thanks to the tilting mechanism, the Trike feels surprisingly natural in corners.
- Bosch Cargo Line motor: Specifically designed for heavy loads and hilly terrain.
The Trike Hybrid offers a safe and stable alternative to traditional cargo bikes, without compromising on comfort or cargo capacity.
