E-bike systems are not alike.
Simply put, "pedal-assist" e-bikes, or Pedalecs, must be pedaled to activate the motor. When you stop pedaling, the motor stops working.
CUBE-E bikes do not have hand throttles like you might find on a scooter or other e-bikes.

CUBE-E bikes feature the extremely intuitive BOSCH power system.
Depending on which of the four assist modes you select (Eco, Tour, Sport, or Turbo) the motor adds in as much as 50 to 250 percent of the power you apply to the pedals. Even on Turbo, when you soft pedal, the assist is gentle. When you hammer, the extra force responds smoothly and predictably. Switch off the pedal-assist entirely and your CUBE-E morphs back into a regular CUBE bike. Of course, even a regular CUBE is something extraordinary. |
The motor is rated at 250W continuous power. The battery is rated 400W with 36V and 11 amps.

In accordance with Canadian regulations, the pedal-assist function tops out at a respectable 32kph (20mph). A this speed, climbs become less of a drill and more of a thrill. On the flats or when descending, you're free to go as fast as your legs, or gravity, will carry you.
