Ella
Algupära
Ella on Cube'i naistele mõeldud linna- ja kergmatkajalgratas — elegantne, madala läbiminekuga alumiiniumplatvorm, mis on selgelt suunatud igapäevasele sõidule, mitte spordile. Raam on valmistatud Aluminum Superlite'ist, millel on sügavalt kumerdatud ülemine toru (päris madal läbiminek, mitte võlts) ja naistele kohandatud kontaktpunktid: lühem ulatus, kitsamad juhtrauad, naistele mõeldud sadul, lühemad väntvõllid väiksematel suurustel. Ella Ride hinnaga 699–799 € kasutab Shimano Nexus 7-käigulist sisemiste hammasratastega rummu (puhas, vähe hooldust vajav, ideaalne linnasõiduks), V-pidureid või hüdraulilisi ketaspidureid sõltuvalt varustustasemest ning on täielikult varustatud poritiibade, pakiraami, jalatoe ja B+M dünamo valgustussüsteemiga. Ella Cruise Hybrid 500 hinnaga umbes 2749 € on elektriratta versioon, millel on Bosch Active Line Plus mootor (50 Nm) ja 500 Wh PowerTube aku. Samuti on olemas sportlikum Ella ProGear käiguvahetiga jõuülekandega. Ella asub kindlalt 'praktilise igapäevase' segmendis ja Cube'i turundus toetub elegantsile — raamivärvid nagu matcha roheline ja tolmune roosa, nahkvälimusega käepidemed, poleeritud väntvõllid.

- Kaal
- ≈16.8–17.0 kg (acoustic, fully equipped with rack/mudguards/lights/kickstand)
Verdikt
- True low easy-entry step-through frame (not a faked one) — genuinely easy to mount/dismount in everyday clothing, ideal for older or less flexible riders
- Ships fully equipped out of the box: rack, mudguards, kickstand, chainguard and dynamo lighting — no extra purchases needed for city commuting
- Comfort-first package — SR Suntour suspension fork, wide 40 mm Schwalbe Little Big Ben tyres and upright WLS geometry soak up rough city surfaces
- Ella Cruise's Shimano Nexus 8-speed internal hub is near maintenance-free: no exposed derailleur, clean chainline, shift while stopped — perfect for stop-start urban riding
- Clear electric upgrade path within the same model family (Ella Hybrid / Cruise Hybrid 500 with Bosch motor) keeps the silhouette and ergonomics familiar
- Heavy at ~17 kg — awkward to carry up stairs or lift onto a rack, a real downside in apartment/no-lift living
- V-brakes (rim brakes) on the acoustic Ride/Cruise trims: weaker wet-weather and downhill stopping power, and they wear the rims over time, vs the discs on the e-bike versions
- City-only gearing and geometry — limited gear range and city-tuned tyres make it poor for longer trekking tours (>30-40 km) or any off-road use
- SR Suntour NEX is an entry-level coil fork: adds weight and a soft, undamped feel rather than genuine performance suspension
- Confusing naming overlap (Ella / Ella Ride / Ella Cruise / Ella Hybrid / Ella Cruise Hybrid, plus the older 'Elly') makes it easy to buy the wrong variant or compare mismatched specs
