In a world full of electric bikes chasing power or battery size, the Cube Nulane C:62 400 stands out by getting a lot of things “just right.” It blends agility, power, versatility, and thoughtful design in a way that few e-bikes manage. Here’s a breakdown of what makes it special — and also some caveats to keep in mind.
Lightweight Carbon Frame with Thoughtful Construction
The Nulane uses Cube’s C:62® Advanced Twin Mold carbon frame. That gives high modulus strength, reinforced with nano-particles in the resin, resulting in a frame that is strong, stiff where it needs to be, but still relatively light.
The frame geometry is “endurance”: it’s set up to be comfortable on long rides, stable on rough surfaces, but still responsive enough for spirited riding.
Excellent Drive System
It’s equipped with the Bosch Performance SX motor — in some model descriptions cited as 55Nm, in more recent/updated specs up to 60Nm torque.
The battery is a 400Wh Bosch CompactTube, fully integrated into the down tube for clean looks and good weight distribution.
There’s also provision for adding a PowerMore booster battery (≈250Wh) if you need more range. 
Versatility & Practical Features
Tyre clearance up to 50mm, even with mudguards fitted. That means the bike can handle pavement, gravel, rough roads, maybe even light trails with confidence.
Mounting points for racks, mudguards, and a kickstand are built in. For many e-bike users, the ability to mount panniers or luggage, or commute in all weather, is critical. Cube has clearly thought about that.
The bike includes features like internal cable routing, hidden seat clamp, Boost 148 rear hub spacing, and UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) compatibility. These are more than just nice-to-haves — they improve durability, maintainability, and future-proofing.
Weight & Handling
One of the things that makes the Nulane special is how light it is for an e-bike with these capabilities. Depending on the version, you’re looking at 14.5kg or even lighter in some SLX spec machines.
Light weight + well-designed geometry = better agility, more enjoyable climbing, less fatigue over long rides. It makes it less of a burden when the motor is off or when you're pushing it.
Future-Proofing
UDH compatibility (which allows for different derailleur types and future upgrades) and good standard spacing (Boost 148) means you’re less likely to be stuck with obsolete standards.
Internal routing, clean battery integration, and modularity (add booster battery, optional mounts) make upgrades easier.
Putting the Nulane C:62 400 up against rivals, here are a few areas where it often has an edge:
-
Many e-bikes of similar power are heavier because they use more robust motors/battery setups, or heavier frames. The Nulane’s use of carbon and efficient motor give a better power-to-weight ratio.
-
Gravel / mixed-terrain capable e-bikes often sacrifice comfort or practical commuting convenience (rack mounts, mudguards, lighting). The Nulane integrates many of these without making compromises.
-
For riders who want both performance and utility (weekend off-road, weekday commuting), the all-round specs (wide tires, good brakes, reliable gears, lightweight motor) make it less of a “jack of all trades, master of none” scenario.
If I were to summarise: the Cube Nulane C:62 400 (in its Race / FE / Hybrid trim) is one of the strongest all-rounders in the e-bike market. It optimises many pieces: lightweight design, capable motor, practical utility, and road/gravel versatility. For someone who wants to ride in the city, explore gravel backroads, commute, and enjoy longer rides — this is a machine that can do all those well.
