Overview
- Cube is recalling 2026 E-bikes delivered before May 8 that use ACID Carbon Hybrid crank arms, covering 17 listed models.
- The aluminium threaded insert at the pedal interface can break without warning, which can let a pedal tear out and cause serious falls.
- The company tells owners to stop riding immediately until the crank arms are replaced by an authorized CUBE dealer.
- Riders can check if their bike is affected by entering the WOW frame number on Cube’s recall webpage, with the number on the bottom bracket or a silver sticker.
- Media reports say Cube is fitting aluminium crank arms now and offering an ACID front light as compensation, while new carbon cranks may take up to 12 months to arrive.
