A tilting three-wheel electric transport with an open cargo platform and pedal assist.
Cube has added a new flatbed configuration to its Trike Hybrid series, following earlier versions that were arranged for family seating or enclosed cargo. The Flatbed Hybrid 750 adapts the same link-and-tilt mechanism used on previous models but substitutes the box structure with a low, open deck intended for general load handling.
Motor and Drivetrain
The power system consists of a Bosch mid-mounted unit rated at 85 Nm of torque. Pedal assist is provided up to 25 km/h (15.5 mph), and the battery has a capacity of 750 Wh, which explains the model designation. The drive arrangement prioritizes steady assistance rather than high peak output, particularly when moving weight on the rear platform.
A key point of the Trike Hybrid platform is that the front section, including the rider, handlebar, and steering geometry, can lean into turns. The rear axle and cargo surface, however, remain level due to a pivoting connection between the front and rear assemblies. This approach keeps cargo from tilting during cornering while allowing the rider to negotiate turns in a familiar bicycle-like posture.
Battery and Range
The removable 750 Wh battery supports varied travel distances depending on terrain, load, and assist level. Light duty use with moderate assist can extend operational time, while continuous heavy loading or higher assist settings will shorten range. Charging can be done off-bike if needed, which suits users who store the vehicle outdoors or in shared spaces.
Payload Capacity
The rear structure is a flatbed platform with an anti-slip finish, listed for loads up to 60 kg (132 lb). Tie-down rings at each corner allow cargo to be secured, and the open deck can accommodate containers, tools, packages, or custom fixtures. The format differs from earlier enclosed units by leaving the space adaptable to whatever is mounted or carried.
Because the platform does not lean, cargo remains level while the rider shifts body weight through a turn. The arrangement places the Flatbed Hybrid 750 closer to the role of a cargo-transport bike than to a rigid, stability-focused mobility trike. It preserves the riding dynamics of a bicycle, which may feel natural to experienced cyclists but still requires the rider to coordinate lean and steering input.
Safety and Convenience Features
Hydraulic disc brakes provide stopping control under load, and lighting is supplied front and rear for visibility in traffic or low-light conditions. Full fenders are fitted over all wheels. A small compartment is integrated behind the seatpost for storage, and a front basket can be added if additional space is needed.
Comfort and Ride Quality
A low-step aluminum frame supports mounting and movement around the platform. Suspension is handled by a Suntour fork with 100 mm of travel, which helps reduce vibration on uneven surfaces. Wheel sizes are 24 inches at the front and 20 inches at the rear, paired with Schwalbe tires suited for urban and mixed-surface usage.
The trike’s tilt mechanism separates rider lean from cargo angle, so the load remains level even when the rider banks into a turn. This arrangement seeks to retain the natural cornering feel of a two-wheeler while maintaining stable cargo geometry.
Controls and Usability
Core functions, including assist level and lighting, are operated from the handlebars. Enviolo manual gearing is available for variable riding conditions, and the compact overall footprint allows movement in tight urban areas, loading zones, and side streets where larger cargo vehicles may be restricted.
Pricing and Availability
The Trike Flatbed Hybrid 750 is listed at €5,799 in European markets. At the time of writing, no information has been provided regarding availability in other regions.
Editor’s Take
The Flatbed Hybrid 750 continues the same pivot-and-tilt principle Cube first showed during its concept phase. By keeping the platform level through the lean angle, the trike holds cargo steady even when cornering. The 85 Nm motor and 750 Wh battery point to an assist system arranged for steady propulsion under load rather than high-speed travel.
Its open platform format leaves the specifics of carrying arrangements up to the user, with a moderate capacity rating but flexibility in how that space is used. Because the tilt system requires coordinated rider movement, the trike remains closer in character to a cargo bike than to a dedicated stability-assist vehicle. Suspension, hydraulic braking, integrated lighting, and the wheel configuration support practical transport in urban settings, with a riding feel that remains anchored in bicycle posture.
