FRAME Cube Compact Hybrid 540
Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best. The Compact Hybrid's cross-braced down tube is elegant, stiff and strong, but it also makes this an easy bike to step in and out of, as well as providing a convenient carrying handle. There's a long 1.5in head tube for accurate, safe steering and an integrated rear carrier for all your essentials. Up front, the HIC interface allows the addition of a compatible ACID front carrier and accessories. The powerful Bosch Performance drive unit is powered by a 540Wh battery, which is tucked out of the way of both luggage and rider. Bosch's Smart System also gives you complete control, accessed via the eBike Flow app. Quick and easy saddle and handlebar adjustments allow one bike to fit the widest possible range of riders. It's a bike for commuting, for popping to the shops, for camping, for exploring. For you.
Flexible ONE SIZE CONCEPT
Thanks to the flexible ONE SIZE CONCEPT, several people can use the same bike. An upright riding position and a low step-through frame ensure a comfortable ride for everyone – regardless of their height. The saddle and stem can be adjusted in height in just a few simple steps. This means the bike can be used by people of different heights, from 1.60 m to 1.90 m. Thanks to the ONE SIZE CONCEPT, the bike is suitable for the whole family, partners, friends, neighbours, colleagues or even ‘just’ for you. A bike that’s flexible enough for everyone and (almost) everything!

Seatstay Integrated Carrier
The luggage rack, elegantly integrated into the seat stays, impresses with its high stability and great versatility. Whether commuting to work or doing the shopping – it adapts flexibly to your everyday life.
Front luggage rack compatible
The Compact Hybrid is the epitome of versatility and handles city traffic with more confidence and practicality than almost any other bike of this size. But if you need a bit more load capacity – and therefore flexibility – that’s where the special front luggage rack comes in. Stylish in appearance, sturdy and secure – it’s the perfect way to carry a bag or two on your way to the office or out shopping.
Aluminium Superlite
CUBE’s Aluminium Superlite is a heat-treated 6061 aluminium alloy and offers precisely the properties that are essential for bicycle frames: fatigue resistance, high stiffness, low weight and exceptional stability. The double-butted tube sets save even more weight without compromising on stability and stiffness. The result: extremely lightweight, durable and robust frames.
Comfort Ride Geometry
As the name suggests, our Comfort Ride Geometry stands for the very highest level of comfort on two wheels – a benefit that virtually all cyclists appreciate! Cube has carefully fine-tuned every detail, such as frame angles and dimensions, to ensure you sit on the bike as naturally and intuitively as possible. And to achieve the perfect blend of stability and responsiveness. The result: riding comfort and safety in one!
One Size Concept
The flexible One Size Concept makes a bike so versatile that anyone can ride it, regardless of their height! The saddle and stem can be easily adjusted up or down, making them suitable for riders from 1.60 m to 1.90 m tall. Top comfort and a relaxed riding experience included. The result is the ideal bike for everyone – the family, your partner, friends, neighbours and colleagues. Or the perfect companion for you and whatever you have planned with it.
X-Connect
X-Connect is a simple yet effective way to attach a compatible ACID light to a CUBE bike. A connector has been integrated into the headset and the cables routed inside the frame. For maximum safety and visibility, simply plug in the light, switch it on and set off!

Bosch Performance Line (BDU34) – An all-rounder for everyday use and day trips

- 75 Nm max. torque
- 600 W maximum motor power
- 340% maximum assistance
- 2.8 kg motor weight
Comfortable and reliable
The Performance Line is your perfect all-rounder – for everyday use and for trips into the countryside. With up to 75 Nm of torque and 600 W of power, it provides reliable assistance, whether you’re commuting or cycling around the lake.
Intense assistance
With a maximum of 340% assistance, 75 Nm of torque and 600 W of power, the Performance Line is ideal for everyday use and for trips out into the countryside.
Natural riding experience
Responsive and almost silent, the Performance Line adapts to your riding style. When setting off, it provides you with powerful and consistent thrust – making it easier, for example, to get moving from a set of traffic lights.
Lighter and slimmer
Weighing just 2.8 kg, the Performance Line is 400 g lighter than its predecessor and therefore fits into slimmer frames – whilst maintaining the same level of assistance.
A reliable companion
The Performance Line is robustly designed and requires no additional maintenance, even under intensive use – ideal for everyday use, whatever the weather. As well as reliability, we have also placed great emphasis on the responsible use of materials during the development of the drive. For example, we use around 40 per cent recycled aluminium in the drive housing. This has enabled us to reduce the housing’s CO₂ emissions by almost half. We also use recycled plastic for some components in the drive unit – thereby supporting the circular economy.
The right level of assistance
Automatic, optimum assistance regardless of the rider’s own effort: automatic and optimum adjustment of the assistance to the riding situation, with up to 340 per cent.
No need to switch riding modes manually on climbs or in sudden headwinds; ideal for eCity, eTrekking and eUrban bikes as well as S-Pedelecs,
customisable via the eBike Flow app

eBike Flow app

The eBike Flow app is the centrepiece of our smart system and enables you to enjoy a better, connected riding experience: safer, more personalised and more comfortable.
eBike Lock – Free additional protection against theft
The perfect complement – park your eBike. Enjoy some downtime.
eBike Lock is free for all eBikes with the smart system. When you switch on your eBike, it automatically checks whether your smartphone is nearby to act as a digital key. Only then is motor assistance activated and your eBike unlocked.
Display as a key – use your Kiox 300 or Kiox 500 as a key
It’s as intuitive as it sounds: simply remove the display from its mount and stow it away. This gives your eBike an extra layer of protection in no time. Reattach the display to activate the motor assistance and set off.
Unlock via smartphone – manually unlock your e-bike using your smartphone
Instead of automatic unlocking, you can also unlock your e-bike manually via your smartphone using a button on the home screen.
Battery Lock – Digitally lock the battery
Additional protection – protect a valuable component of your e-bike
With Battery Lock, you can provide additional digital protection for your e-bike battery: this feature ensures that your battery can no longer be used if it is stolen.
Digital keys – Flexibility with a digital key
You can use several digital keys at the same time for Battery Lock: your smartphone with the eBike Flow app, as well as your Kiox 300 or Kiox 500.
Flow+ – Premium service with Flow+
Battery Lock is available as a premium service from Flow+. You can try Flow+ for free – for 12 months with the ConnectModule. Without the ConnectModule, you get one month free.
Protect your eBike – eBike Alarm
Park with peace of mind – valuable location and status information
Whether you’re just parking your eBike for a short while or will be away for longer, you stay connected and relaxed via your smartphone.
Two-stage alarm – Audible and visual alarm
Your eBike will alert you with audible signals and flashing LEDs if it detects movement or is being moved. You’ll also receive a notification on your smartphone.
Tracking functions – Helpful location tracking
If your e-bike is moved significantly, you can track its location using the tracking function.
eBike Pass – All your data always to hand
With the eBike Pass, you can keep track of important information about your eBike. Data relating to your eBike is stored here. You can add details manually – even independently of eBike Alarm.
Theft Report – Quick help in the event of theft
If your eBike is stolen, you can create a document containing all the key information about the incident for the police, based on the data from the eBike Pass – and add a live tracking link.
Navigation – Exploring means experiencing
Route planning – Plan according to your needs
Choose the route profile and map details that suit your ride. Plan your own routes with waypoints or import existing ones from komoot.
On-screen navigation – Navigate precisely using your display
The navigation function for the Kiox 300, Kiox 400C and Kiox 500 guides you precisely to your destination – with turn-by-turn directions and clear route guidance. If you’ve subscribed to Flow+, you’ll get even more map detail on your display.
Ride Screen – Turn your smartphone into an e-bike display
With the SmartphoneGrip, you can use the Ride Screen. It not only shows you all the key ride data, but also offers a fully-fledged navigation system with 3D map display – even in portrait mode.
Activity Tracking – Automatically record and analyse your ride data
The eBike Flow app records your ride data as soon as you set off. In the statistics, you’ll find valuable insights into your ride and fitness data – to analyse and share. If you wish, all data can also be automatically synchronised with Apple Health.
koomot and Strava – Connect the eBike Flow app to your favourite apps
Transfer your routes from komoot to the eBike Flow app, synchronise your activities with Strava and share your achievements with your friends or your community.
Personalise your eBike – as unique as you are
Display configuration

Custom riding modes – fine-tune and adapt
Assist, Dynamic, maximum torque and maximum speed – you decide what you need. You can also put together your favourite riding modes. Choose from all the riding modes available for your e-bike.
Performance Upgrade 2.0 – Performance redefined
Unleash more power for your e-bike. The Performance Upgrade 2.0 delivers not only better acceleration but also stronger assistance. Thanks to software optimisations, you’ll enjoy more powerful propulsion and maintain speed for longer – whilst retaining even more precise control. Maximum torque of up to 120 Nm via update. Variations may apply depending on the type of gear system. Higher performance settings may lead to increased wear and reduced range. The e-bike manufacturer may limit the maximum torque at the factory. In the eBike Flow app, therefore, only the maximum value authorised by the manufacturer can be set.

CO₂ savings

Trick Check – More skills. More fun.
Improve your skills and analyse your performance: Trick Check automatically recognises and records the type of trick you’ve performed, whether it’s jumps, stoppies, manuals or wheelies. To help you improve your riding technique, you’ll receive immediate feedback on the display and via an audible signal. Whilst riding, you’ll see the distance, duration, height or angle on your display for eight seconds. After your ride, you’ll find your best results in the eBike Flow app. This feature is enabled by default on your Kiox 400C and Purion 400. For all other displays, you can activate it at any time in the display settings, as well as switch the audible alert on and off. The sensors are calibrated to respond only to distinct tricks.
Trick Check works with the Performance Line CX (BDU384Y), Performance Line CX-R (BDU384Y), Performance Line CX Race (BDU374Y), Performance Line CX (BDU374Y) and Performance Line SX (BDU314Y), as well as on the following displays: Kiox 300, Kiox 400C, Kiox 500, Purion 200, Purion 400.
Bosch Purion 200 Remote with integrated 1.6" color display

Developed in collaboration with ergonomics experts
The Purion 200 is mounted on the left-hand side of the handlebars, within easy reach of your thumb. Thanks to its curved shape, the combination of control unit and display fits elegantly onto the handlebars. When the plus and minus buttons are correctly aligned – that is, almost vertically – this means greater ease of use for you and quicker reading of your ride data. With just a flick of your thumb, you can control your e-bike and, for example, change the riding mode or the display on your screen. We developed the Purion 200 in collaboration with the ergonomics experts at SQlab to achieve the perfect combination of functionality, comfort and design.
Optimal readability
High resolution, greater color depth, a clear layout and easy-to-understand symbols ensure that you can quickly read and understand the information on the Purion 200. The integrated ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the display’s brightness according to the ambient light. This ensures excellent readability even in sunlight and in the dark.
Powerful display combinations
If you want more information or a larger display for even better readability, you can use an additional display alongside the Purion 200: have a Kiox 300 or Kiox 625 fitted by a specialist retailer, or use your smartphone as a second display with the SmartphoneGrip and the eBike Flow app. The additional new main display is controlled via the buttons on the Purion 200. The Purion 200 continues to show you the information that was last selected: for example, you can view your current speed on the Purion 200 whilst your main display guides you.
Wide range of functions
The Purion 200 offers numerous features designed to help you ride better and reach your destination more easily. As well as basic functions such as switching your e-bike and lights on and off, you can, for example, activate the smart push assist using the Purion 200 buttons to make it easier to push your e-bike whilst walking. At the touch of a button, you can switch the display in a matter of seconds and easily select the information that matters to you at that moment: for example, keep an eye on your remaining range, see how far you’ve already travelled, or check your cadence.
Intelligently connected
Five buttons, one display and a whole host of possibilities: the Purion 200 is part of the smart system and connects the e-bike to the eBike Flow app. This gives you access to digital features that you can easily activate and use via the app – for example, for enhanced anti-theft protection, recording your activities or the option to customise riding modes to suit your needs. What’s more, the Purion 200 acts as the interface for transferring updates to your e-bike, ensuring it’s always up to date.
