Still very happy with my modified Decathlon Rockrider E-st900, but I absolutely needed a full suspension.
The Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 HPC SL 750 2022 was the only one available with a nice color and a >700Wh battery.
I'm in between M-L sizes, both bikes are size L, surprisingly all dimensions correspond within 5mm, except
-the rear wheel is a bit more to the back, to allow suspension travel.
-the front wheel is a bit more to the front, due to downhill style fork.
-the steering bar position corresponds to my E-st900, which has a shorter higher stem than original.
-The Cube steers a lot better in short turns, between trees. Driving without hands on the street is a lot harder. A big + !
-The Brose is completely silent, the Bosch makes more noise. A big - !
-The Bosch Gen4 Smart Kiox 300 is easy, readable and useful. A big + !
-The Bosch reacts a lot faster and harder, with the brose it was impossible to do short balance corrections by pedalling. A big + !
-The grip on rough terrain is really x10. I never expected a fully would be that much an improvement.
-750Wh vs 500Wh is basicly also factor 1.5 for the range: 70km vs 45km (600m vs 400m elev) on setting 2/3 tour/mtb
The rest of the differences are obvious, in the specs, or all over internet:
-12sp vs 10sp
-4 piston vs 2 piston brakes
-Xt vs Deore
-Carbon vs Aluminium
-...
