March 10, 20206 yr Good evening all I’ve come across this site searching for answers regarding my next bike I’m looking at getting a 1000w hub wheel kit but I really don’t want to buy a expensive battery my question is I have a cube acid withe the bosch active line gen 2 with 500wh battery what kit would I need to use my battery any help would be much appreciated cheers jay
March 10, 20206 yr You ought to try a 1,000w hub bike first. The direct drive pancake motors are famously lacking in torque, so you might find it a great disappointment. They tend to be quiet, and fast once wound up, but will die on you when you reach an incline. Repurposing your Bosch battery might be difficult. The Bosch system is famously locked down, and the battery may need to shake hands with a Bosch motor and controller to work. But apart from the fact that 1,000w hub motors are rubbish and your battery won't work with one, I think you've come up with a great idea.
March 10, 20206 yr The Bosch won't work as a power source except on a Bosch motor. As regards to a1kw hub don't go there if you can't afford a good battery that can output 30 - 40 amps continuous.
