COMPLETE THE CUBE LONGTAIL HYBRID
Want to get the most out of your CUBE Longtail Hybrid ? In this blog post, you'll learn which accessories you need for taking your kids, grocery shopping, or simply commuting. The CUBE Longtail Hybrid is a true all-rounder. In this blog post, we'll show you how to fully customize this electric longtail with smart accessories for everyday use.
Why choose a longtail?
A longtail sits perfectly between a regular e-bike and a cargo bike . Thanks to the extended rear rack, you can carry a surprising amount without the bike becoming wide or unwieldy. This makes a longtail maneuverable in the city and easy on narrow bike paths. The powerful Bosch electric motor ensures that any extra weight is barely noticeable, making it easy to get going.
Children on the bike
If you're using the Longtail Hybrid to transport children, comfort and safety are paramount. For young children, choose sturdy rear seats specifically designed for the Longtail design. The CUBE Longtail Hybrid can accommodate two child seats. If your child is a little older and can sit independently, seat cushions on the rear carrier offer a convenient solution.
To complete the look, footrests are essential. They ensure children have a stable footrest and can sit comfortably on the back. Combined with side protection, they prevent feet from getting caught in the spokes, and the rails provide a secure grip for your passengers. This creates a safe and uncluttered space on the back, without the bike losing its balance.
Take groceries and work supplies with you
Even without children, the Longtail Hybrid is a real boon. The extended rear rack offers space for several large panniers, easily carrying groceries or sports gear. If you want to carry even more, a front rack combined with a bag is a great addition. This keeps essential items within easy reach, such as a backpack, handbag, or crate.
Extra safe and comfortable on the road
Because the CUBE Longtail Hybrid is often used daily, accessories for safety and comfort are essential. A good ART-certified lock is essential, especially if you regularly park your bike in the city or at the station. Many cyclists opt for a combination of a fixed frame lock and an additional chain or folding lock .
A phone holder also makes cycling much more relaxing. You can navigate, track routes, or quickly check a notification without having to take your phone out of your pocket.
