Yuba Kombi E5: specs and how it compares
Not tested. Will hasn't ridden this bike. Specs come from Yuba's own site, written in our words, and each one is linked below. For bikes he has tested, see the reviews.
Class: Yuba's page lists EU EPAC compliance (EN 15194) rather than a US class. The Shimano E5000 system is pedal assist only. E-bike laws by state
$2,399.99$2,999.99
Price as of Oct 26, 2026 on Yuba's site. Both colors showed as out of stock on 2026-10-26.
Our take
The Kombi E5 is a compact longtail from a cargo-bike specialist. Its Shimano mid-drive is light and gentle rather than strong (40 Nm), and the 418 Wh battery is small. Yuba's spec table and its product text disagree on the wheels. Both colors were out of stock.

Will reviewed it: a longtail cargo bike with a throttle and more power.
