Why this one

This is the bike for the rider who wants a proper Bosch-powered machine without paying for headroom they will not use. The Performance Line motor delivers up to 75Nm (ample to make hills feel optional) fed by a 600Wh PowerTube neatly hidden in the frame. Shimano hydraulic brakes, a 120mm fork and a nine-speed Cues drivetrain complete a bike that simply works, every ride.

Customer reviews

In their own words

Trustpilot

Absolutely chuffed with my new e-bike! It arrived sooner than I expected and it’s a brilliant ride. The service was top-notch from start to finish.

David Evans

Needed a proper waterproof jacket for my walks, and this one is spot on. Fits a treat and keeps the weather out. The staff were so helpful when I rang up about sizes.

Emily Watson

I’ve used this shop a few times now, and they never disappoint. Just got a new mountain bike for my lad, and he’s made up with it. Arrived in no time, all good.

John Smith

Ordered some cycling bits and bobs for the family. One item was out of stock, but they posted it on for free a week later. You can’t argue with that kind of service!

Margaret Jones

Been after a decent sleeping bag for ages and finally found it here. They’ve got a cracking selection of outdoor gear. Came quicker than I thought, too.

Robert Williams

This e-bike has transformed my commute! It’s a dream to ride and feels really well-made. The chap on the phone gave me some sound advice before I bought it.

Sarah Taylor

My old helmet was knackered, so I grabbed a new one and some gloves from here. Decent price and turned up when they said it would. All good.

Mark Brown

Did my homework on a new road bike, and this place had the best deal by a mile. Arrived safe and sound. Proper pleased.

James Davies

It’s a good jacket for the money, no doubt about that. Only thing is, it took the best part of two weeks to arrive, which was a bit annoying. Still, happy with the product itself.

George Walker

The e-bike is grand, runs like a charm. Service was fine, but I did have to wait a while for delivery. In the end, though, it was worth it.

Questions? We can help.

Common questions, clear answers.

Do I need a licence, insurance or registration?

No. Assistance is capped at 15.5mph and 250W continuous, which makes this an EAPC — legally a bicycle in the UK. No licence, no registration, no insurance, no road tax, no helmet requirement. Riders must be 14 or over.

How far will it actually go on a charge?

Further on the flat, in a low assistance mode, with a lighter rider than any published figure assumes. We do not quote a range number because the honest answer depends on gradient, weight, temperature and which mode you ride in, and a single figure would be misleading in most of those cases.

How assembled does it arrive?

Around 90% built, on a specialist bike courier. Front wheel, bars, pedals and seatpost to fit. The battery ships part-charged, as regulations require — charge it fully before the first ride.

Can I ride it in the rain?

Yes. Motors and batteries on modern e-bikes are sealed against rain and road spray — check the IP rating on the manufacturer’s spec sheet for the exact figure on this model. What matters more in practice: never jet-wash an e-bike. The seals are made to keep rain out, not a pressure washer, and water forced into a motor is not a warranty claim.

Can I pay by finance or Cycle to Work?

No. Neither is available here, so the price you see is the price. Most UK e-bike purchases at this level go through one or the other. If that is how you were planning to pay, it is worth knowing before you get to the checkout.

Can I test ride one first?

Not with us — we are online only and hold no demo fleet. At this price it is worth sitting on one first: Specialized and Cube dealers run demo days, and the frame size you settle on there is the one we will supply. Send us the size and we will confirm it against the geometry chart before you order.

Who fixes it if the motor or battery fails?

The manufacturer’s warranty is handled through their dealer network, and a dealer is not obliged to prioritise a bike bought elsewhere. Tell us and we will open the claim and deal with the manufacturer ourselves rather than send you round the houses. Worth knowing before you buy from any online-only shop, including this one.

What happens when the battery wears out?

Batteries are a consumable. Expect meaningful capacity loss after several hundred full cycles, which for most riders is years rather than months. Both manufacturers sell replacements; that is a real future cost and worth knowing before you buy.

CUBE warranty for this product

CUBE separates the complete-bike warranty from its extended frame guarantee and Bosch component cover.

Complete bike
2 years against manufacturing defects from the date of sale.
Frame
6-year guarantee for aluminium frames, subject to the manufacturer exclusions.
Bosch system
24 months from sale to the end customer. Commercial use is limited to 12 months.
Bosch battery
Up to 24 months or 500 full charge cycles, whichever comes first. No capacity percentage is shown because CUBE's published table does not list the current 600Wh and 800Wh batteries sold here.
Making a claim

The extended CUBE guarantee applies to the original buyer and is not transferable. Normal wear and improper use are excluded. Keep your original proof of purchase.
