Cube Acid Hybrid One 500 Ladies Electric Bike 2019 – 9 Speed, Alloy Frame – Grey/White
The Cube Acid One 500 29 Hybrid is a sleek, affordable, easy to ride and even easier to slot into your daily life, it's a Bosch e-bike for all reasons – and there's even a trapeze frame version, so everyone can find the perfect fit. The powerful and reliable Bosch Active Line Plus drive unit and battery slot elegantly into the custom aluminium frame, providing smooth, silent assistance for your pedalling. Slick-shifting Shimano 9 speed gears and powerful Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes mean you'll always be able to find the right gear and control your speed safely, while a plush Suntour suspension fork and big, grippy Schwalbe tyres give a comfortable, sure-footed ride. From city streets and the daily commute to weekend off-road exploring, the Acid Hybrid ONE has got it covered.
Our engineering team puts the same effort into every frame design, whether it's a range-topping race machine or an entry-level commuter. That's why we gave the Acid Hybrid ONE an aluminium superlite chassis with double butted tubes, w
hich shave weight where it isn't needed and add extra thickness where strength is important. Advanced hydroforming is what gives it its sleek looks and the elegant, oversized down tube housing both the Bosch drive unit and the battery. Our acclaimed Agile Ride Geometry gives the Acid Hybrid ONE easy, intuitive handling to keep you safe, whether you're exploring a trail or riding to the office. Internally routed cables – including for a future dropper post upgrade – keep everything tidy, reduce maintenance and ensure your gear shifts stay precise. And integrated mudguard mounts mean it's a cinch to fit full length fenders to help keep you dry on the road, all year round.
Advanced Hydroforming
The new STEREO , FRITZZ and HANZZ models are built using Advanced Hydroforming. Conventional hydroforming processes cannot achieve these custom shapes and technical advantages. As this manufacturing method reduces the number of welds, the weight is reduced while durability is increased.
High Performance Aluminium
For our high end bikes we use High Performance 7005 Aluminium alloy which has a very low density combined with high strength due to the alloy elements and the hardening heat treatment. By triple butting or even quadruple butting (as in the REACTION , HANZZ and AERIUM models) to give different wall thicknesses in one tube, aluminium tubes are reinforced where required and made lighter where possible. In this way, we succeed in getting material where its needed most. In addition we use special tube shapes, manufactured with hydroforming technology to better cope with directional forces. The low density and high strength as well as the butting and the hydroforming technology enable us to make high performance frames with an ultimate level of stiffness.
Integrated Cable Routing
Internally routed cables offer many advantages. Cables are protected from dirt for longer life, weight is saved thanks to the absence of external housing and the bike has a clean, sleek appearance.
Frame Safe System
To protect our high-end aluminium frames from damage, they are built with the CUBE Frame Save System replaceable derailleur hanger. The mounting thread is in the hanger and not in the frame as usual. In case of a crash, this hanger can be easily and quickly replaced by a new one.
Tapered Steerer
This steerer tube design is stiffer than a conventional straight steerer and yields a more secure ride feel even in difficult terrain. Minimal flex at the front of the frame means the greatest possible steering precision. With the larger steerer, the forks become more rigid. At the same time weight is saved due to the absence of bearing shells as the lower bearing is fully integrated into the head tube. On all of our CUBE carbon models the upper bearing shells are also directly in the frame, so that once more a few grams are saved and the energy transfer is very direct.
Easy Mount Kickstand
The Easy Mount Kick Stand is a new system developed and designed by CUBE. The base of the stand is mounted from below to a fitting plate integrated to the frame and fixed with a through bolt. This kick stand is extremely stiff and solid through the enlarged contact areas between base and frame which gives a stable stand even with loaded panniers.
Optimal Drive Position
The “engine” is the critical part of an Ebike because of its weight and its junction to the regular drivetrain. These factors present a real challenge for the frame design. This is why CUBE developed an innovative new frame construction for the new Ebike generation: simultaneously being the cradle for the electric motor, the pivot for the rear link and the seat of the shock eyelet, the very complex area of the bottom bracket is made of two forged halves. The groove in the front section together with the specially formed down tube is home for the power pack which in this way has a very low position in the frame triangle. The positive outcome is an extremely low center of gravity supporting an agile riding characteristic while achieving a super rigid bottom bracket area.
Stealth Ready
Dropper seat posts are getting more and more widespread, but to integrate them optimally in the frame, they have to be factory fitted. With the Stealth Ready frames, it is possible to build in a dropper seat post with internally routed cables, which besides the clean look, helps prevent any cables getting jammed. The exit of the cable on the frame – if not required – will be sealed with a cover for protection.
Smooth Welded
This elaborate procedure with doubled weld seams has two advantages: On the one hand, it improves the firmness of the weld seams and minimizes the load peaks on the tube welds through energy flow and on the other hand, it helps the frame to a better and more organic look due to the smooth and hardly noticeable welds.
