E-bikes continue to gain momentum in New Zealand, and it’s no surprise that electric mountain bikes are leading the charge for riders who want more range, more power, and more adventure. This year, MoneyHub released its Best Electric Bikes in New Zealand 2025 guide and two Cube eMTB models made the list.
Designed and engineered in Germany, Cube’s e-MTB range is trusted worldwide. With Bosch-powered motors, high-capacity batteries, and carefully selected components, Cube delivers bikes that are as reliable on the trails as they are fun to ride. Here’s a closer look at the two Cube models MoneyHub rated among the best.
Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 HPC Pro – Value That Performs
MoneyHub’s value pick in the electric mountain bike category, the Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 HPC Pro proves that high performance doesn’t have to mean high price. This full-suspension trail bike combines a RockShox Recon Silver RL fork with 140mm of travel, a Deluxe Select shock, and Schwalbe Nobby Nic tyres for grip and control in Kiwi conditions.
The Bosch Smart System CX motor (85Nm) paired with a PowerTube battery delivers seamless assistance on steep climbs and long rides, while SRAM Eagle 12-speed gearing ensures smooth shifting across all terrain. Add in Magura 4-piston brakes for confident stopping power, and you’ve got a bike that’s ready for everything from local singletrack to backcountry adventures.
Cube Stereo Hybrid One44 HPC AT 800 ActionTeam – Built for the Best
At the other end of the scale, MoneyHub’s high-performance recommendation went to the Stereo Hybrid One44 HPC AT 800 ActionTeam. This model is all about no-compromise riding. With Fox Factory suspension (150mm front / 140mm rear), a lightweight carbon frame, and SRAM XO Eagle 12-speed gearing, it’s engineered for precision and control on the most demanding trails.
The Bosch Smart System with top-tube display keeps your data visible while you ride, and Shimano XT 4-piston brakes offer reliable stopping power when it matters most. Schwalbe Magic Mary and Big Betty tyres round out a build designed to push boundaries — perfect for riders chasing the toughest lines and biggest descents.
Why Cube Stands Out
MoneyHub’s guide reminds riders that “an excellent electric bike starts by being a good bike.” Cube’s German-engineered frames, Bosch drive systems, and premium components prove that from the ground up.
Their advice is also clear: “invest a bit more upfront so that it lasts longer and rides better.” With Cube, that investment translates to long-term reliability, local dealer support, and better value over the life of the bike.
Whether you’re chasing value or chasing performance, Cube has an e-MTB to suit your style. MoneyHub’s recognition reinforces Cube’s reputation for quality, durability, and design.
