This is it: the CUBE hybrid bike that could, perhaps, replaces a car.
The Trike Family Hybrid 750 combines safety, ease of use and practicality in one easy-to-handle package, thanks to innovative design in collaboration with BMW and the power of Bosch's fourth-generation CX Line drive system with a 750Wh battery. 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, and there's an easy-to-use stepless hub gear to make light work of any route.
A telescopic seatpost and stem, with adjustable angle for the handlebar, make it simple to set up for any rider. At the rear, the versatile cargo box with built-in (but removeable) seats, safety harnesses and rain cover makes it a cinch to take along your kids, the shopping, the recycling... whatever you need. And the unique tilt mechanism, combined with the stability of three wheels, means it's as easy to manoeuvre as any normal hybrid bike. We think it all adds up to one less car. How about you?
The Trike Family Hybrid is so full of ingenious design detail, it's hard to know where to begin. 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 load-carrying machine 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 box is designed with a high back and sides to help protect your children.
A built-in rain cover lifts on its own gas strut, and the versatile seating and safety harnesses can be quickly and easily stowed away if you want to carry a cargo load instead. There's even a storage compartment in the main frame, and the option to fit a front rack. Now... do you really need to take the car?
On a changing planet where sustainability is becoming a necessity rather than just a buzzword, we think the Trike Family Hybrid 750 is part of the solution. Safe, practical, comfortable and easy to live with, its unique tilting mechanism and practical child (and cargo) carrier with full rain cover is a hint of the future...
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).
You can 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?
