Replacement parts and accessories can only be ordered and collected via your CUBE dealer.

Cube Bikes offer three main frame styles to suit different riding preferences and needs:

Easy Entry/Step Thru – Featuring a low, open-frame design, Easy Entry bikes allow riders to easily mount and dismount, making them ideal for commuting, leisure rides, or for riders seeking maximum comfort and convenience.

Trapeze frames – A versatile mid-step frame combining practicality and sportiness. Trapeze frames offer improved stability and a slightly more dynamic riding position, suitable for everyday cycling, commuting, and longer recreational rides.

Crossbar Frames – Featuring the classic diamond-shaped frame with a horizontal top tube, Crossbar frames offer the most stiffness and stability. Ideal for more demanding or performance-oriented riding, including touring, longer rides, and higher-speed cycling.

Each Cube frame style is thoughtfully engineered in Germany to ensure optimal comfort, performance, and reliability for riders across New Zealand.

Electric Bikes

Range is influenced by the rider and the chosen support mode, as well as the drive unit or battery installed in the eBike. Environmental factors such as temperature, wind conditions and riding surface also play a key role in how far you can get on a battery charge. Bosch's range assistant tool makes it possible to estimate a typical range under various parameters.

Charging time depends on the battery capacity and the charger type. The
following diagrams show how quickly the various batteries can be charged
using each specific charger.

CLAIMS & WARRANTY

Your first port of call should always be the CUBE shop where you bought the bike. Only the CUBE dealer with which you have the original sale contract is obliged to process complaints and warranty claims. Other CUBE dealers can handle complaints on a voluntary basis, but are not obliged to do so.It is not possible for us to make any assessments, or process or handle any claims directly. Your CUBE dealer can assess the bike in-shop and make an informed statement. If required, your CUBE dealer can also offer a solution or register a damage claim with us along with the necessary documentation.

For all warranty claims, please contact the CUBE dealer where you purchased the product.Your CUBE bike is warranted to be free from manufacturing defects for 2 years with effect from the date of sale.
