E-Bike Recall 2025: Cube Warns of Dangerous Component

A component on the crank arm can come loose during the ride – with potentially serious consequences.
The bicycle manufacturer Cube has initiated a comprehensive recall for numerous e-bikes from the 2025 model year. Affected are models with the crank arm "ACID MTB Hybrid Pro." Internal tests and market feedback have shown that the crank screws can unexpectedly come loose. In the worst case, the crank arm can completely detach during the ride – which can lead to serious falls.
Which Models Are Affected
The recall includes a variety of models from the Cube Hybrid series. These include, among others, the Stereo Hybrid, Reaction Hybrid, Nuride Hybrid, Kathmandu Hybrid, and Editor Hybrid series. The complete list includes over 20 model variants. Buyers are urgently advised to compare the exact model designation and year of their e-bike with the official recall list.
Recommendations for Affected Users
Anyone who owns an affected e-bike should take it out of service immediately. Cube explicitly advises against continuing to use the bicycle. The recall is handled through specialist retailers, where the replacement of the affected crank arms is carried out free of charge. Direct delivery of replacement parts to end customers is not planned for safety reasons.
Background on the Manufacturer Cube
Cube, based in Waldershof, Bavaria, was founded in 1992 and is now one of the leading bicycle manufacturers in the German-speaking region. The company is known for its innovative strength and high product quality. The quick response to the defect underscores the commitment to product safety and customer satisfaction.
Outlook on Future Developments
Despite the recall, the e-bike industry continues to develop dynamically. For 2025, trends such as robust e-hardtails, everyday cargo bikes, and compact folding models are emerging. Those interested in a new model should keep an eye on current tests and market analyses.
