New Bosch Active Line, Active Line Plus, and Powertube Frame Battery | Electric Bike Report

[@noels8817]

Just test rode the active line plus, amazing quiet engine, rode it up a 26% gradient in SF, smooth as silk!

[@srspower]

02:40 are the motors interchangeable? As in could that bike be fitted with a performance cx? It would be nice to know if I could swap my active line plus for a performance.

If you move the frame sensor forward towards pedal, then place the wheel magnet behind the pedal hole stem rotation , then the motor thinks it traveling much slower and does not cut out at the 15.5mph pre setting.(uk setting) and you can get some decent speed.😀

SL1970 this might seem like a simple way to beat the speed restrictions, but new updates will actually detect these changes and can void your warranty among other things. Something to be aware of.

Is that big gear inside plastic.

[@maljames1380]

Available in india ?

[@EdHotchkin]

What is the weight limit on these for durability?

[@lidiageo]

My ktm ebike as This system... very nice

[@reinerzufall305]

Who is the producer of that pink bike? I like the Design for my wife. I like the double tube frame. Is close the same as our old Matra Bikes.

Reiner Zufall that’s the Electra Townie Go! with a custom paint job

CUANTO CUESTAN LOS MOTORES MW INTERESAN

[@HG-nk3hd]

The price is a big problem.

[@aquaasia1]

Its good but For adults scooter brush less motor is avilable

[@KillerRaptorr]

It's nice. But when your paying over 1500$. You expect more then just 250 or 350watts in a motor for a price that much. Get 750watt motors out, then people would be willing to toss 2000$+ for some of those in bikes.

[@navimer]

The motors are just 250w nominal, meaning they give way more than that in intervals when needed(i.e. going up a hill). This is because of ebike-regulations, more than 250w nominal would classify it as a motor-vehicle requiring insurance and registration to be legal

So EU/UK/etc is different. US has state laws defined for electric bikes. 2et. Electric bikes are defined by it's base wattage. if it's a 250watt motor, it's a 250watt motor. They don't include the BOOST wattage used for internal rpm and torque required to get the motor up to speed. You should read up on how motors work to understand the internal boost wattage works. Mid-drives have more internal boost wattage for reasons of Torque, because they spin the cranks which require more TORQUE then hub motors do which spin the wheels. The Torque is turned into spin power to the drive-train chain/belt/etc to the rear wheel's cassette/freewheel/etc which can change speed. Depending on how high or low you go. You get more torque spin, which gives more start power. Mid-drives have a Higher Torque rating because they spin the drive-train vs a hub, So they'll have higher boost wattage then hubs do at the start. Then taper down to their standard wattage at speeds. Which is where the defined electric bike limit wattage is termed at based on it's max speed. Not it's maxed torque wattage.

@@KillerRaptorr yes I was talking about the regulations in EU, I don't know and don't care about the different regulations in different states over there in Trumptopia.. But 250w advertised is not 250w, and you are wrong.. Read more about it yourself here www.ebikeschool.com/myth-ebike-wattage/

[@KillerRaptorr]

@@navimer Maybe you should read it, and reread my post. As it and my post mention. They measure wattage by the end power point as the motor is up to speed. 250watts = it's top speed point. YES all electric motors will have more then double, even triple the amount of wattage on it's start, That's because it's called TORQUE AND RPM's. Even fricken motor cars have a higher RPM at start, then they do at top speed. So more power will be given to the motor, then at end point. This is why the legal limit of electric bicycle motors aren't determined by their PEAK wattage. But by their continuous wattage. Because you're NEVER gonna get MORE power once it's at it's continuous point. It flatlines. Once the torque/rpms are finished, it puts that start speed into top speed and then the wattage drops dramatically. So no you're wrong. If you were right, then why are the millions of other people able to fly by on their EU mid-drive bikes without being fined? Cause the rules aren't ruled by PEAK power. but by continuous power. Peak power relates to the torque and RPM's to get the motor UP to speed. A lot of bikes are designed this way for better climbing. If they all were 250watts, that'd be like, really crappy torque and rpm's for climbing rough terrain that the bikes are designed to do, Which wouldn't be any point to even putting a 10-20pound electric kit on the bike.

Never again Active Line

[@Duijnkiller]

Plastic Seriously?
