if the batt is dead then it cant be recelled no other batt will work as the bms has to work with the motor or it will not turn on.

It's likely that the Battery Management System inside the battery pack has detected that the battery has been tampered with and is causing the system to shut down.
It might be worth your while contacting a Bosch service agent to see what they suggest could be done to fix the problem.
If you were able to use a different motor you'd also have to replace the controller and battery pack, one option would be to get the Cube fixed, sell it and go for a system based on Chinese components which are easier to modify.
