With its compact wheelbase, unique tilting mechanism, Bosch drive system and up to 220kg total load capacity, the Trike Cargo Hybrid is the quick, simple, emission-free to get goods from A to B across town. The cargo box is capable of handling a load up to 50kg, whilst the optional front carrier can hold a standard Eurobox and up to an additional 20kg. Now, who needs a van?
The Cube Trike Hybrid is available in two fully equipped versions. The Trike Family Hybrid, designed specifically to cater to families, offers a flexible and safe way to carry one or two children as well as shopping or other items. The Trike Cargo Hybrid, with 50kg (around 111 lbs) of load-carrying capacity and a height-adjustable cover, is the ideal solution for carrying dogs or other loads.
Developed in a unique collaboration between Cube and BMW, the Trike Hybrid's sophisticated tilt mechanism is the key to keeping your cargo secure whilst maintaining the natural feel of a conventional bike. Bosch electric assist helps make light work of any route, whilst the short wheelbase and easy handling means this is a cargo bike that can be easily used by almost anyone.
Both versions are based on the same technological concept with the innovative tilting mechanism and resulting intuitive handling. Feels like riding, but more – more opportunities for transportation, riders and use.
This is it: the Cube hybrid bike that could, perhaps, replace a car.
The Trike Cargo Hybrid is part of Cube's vision for the future of cleaner urban transport. A brand-new concept in its own right and a co-development with input from BMW, it combines the easy handling of a 'normal' hybrid bike with the versatility of a cargo bike and the safety and stability of three wheels. The unique tilting mechanism de-couples the load at the rear from the bike at the front, giving a natural feel to cornering. At the rear, the lightweight and tough cargo box is waterproof and lockable – the ideal way to transport just about anything across town, up to a load of 50kg. There's even a storage compartment in the main frame, and the option to fit a front rack. With a short wheelbase, easy handling and tight turning circle all designed to beat the urban traffic and make parking easy, the future's looking brighter already.
Moving things around congested cities isn't easy at the best of times, but the Trike Cargo Hybrid 750 gives you an immediate advantage. Combining safety, ease of use and practicality in one easy-to-handle package, its innovative design was developed in collaboration with BMW. Bosch's fourth-generation Cargo Line drive system and an easy-to-use, stepless hub gear work together to make light work of any route. Up front, a Suntour Mobie34 Cargo suspension fork provides a comfortable ride on potholed city streets.
Powerful disc brakes – and an additional parking brake – keep your speed in check. A telescopic seatpost and stem, with adjustable reach for the handlebar, make it quick and easy to set up for any rider. At the rear, the versatile cargo box is waterproof, features a lockable lid and is capable of carrying loads of up to 60kg. If you are taking a dog or other pet for a ride the cover is adjustable, when extended it features a PVC window and fresh air vent.
And the unique tilt mechanism, combined with the stability of three wheels, means it's as easy to manoeuvre as any normal hybrid bike. Beating the traffic never looked more attractive...
The flexible One Size concept makes one bike so versatile that it can be used by any number of people – irrespective of their height. Everyone can enjoy a comfortable ride courtesy of the upright riding position and step-through frame. The saddle and stem easily adjust up or down to suit any rider from around 5ft 2in to 6ft 2in (1.60m to 1.90m).
The One Size concept is a universal platform that's ideal to share between the whole family, partners, friends, neighbours and colleagues alike. Or keep it for yourself as the perfect companion for wherever life takes you. One bike, flexible for all!
Now... do you really need to take the car?
