en.Wedoany.com Reported - Bosch has launched a new e-bike platform called Hub Line, introducing for the first time a motor integrated directly into the rear wheel. This marks a shift from the company's long-standing focus on mid-drive motors located in the bottom bracket area. The platform also provides a complete ecosystem of components for e-bike manufacturers.

The new Hub Line hub motor delivers a peak power of 400 watts, torque of 45 Nm, and weighs just 2.3 kg. With a diameter of approximately 100 mm, its compact size makes it nearly invisible. The currently released version is tailored for the European market, complying with local power limits.

Bosch also unveiled the new PowerTube 360 battery, featuring a compact casing with a diameter of 68 mm, weighing 2.1 kg, and offering a capacity of 360 watt-hours. Bosch positions it as a lightweight urban e-bike solution, prioritizing compactness and low weight over maximum range. The system can be supplemented with an external battery, the PowerMore 250.

The platform also includes updated control units: the LED Controller, replacing the LED Remote, and the compact Intuvia 200 display with a 2.4-inch screen.

Bosch does not plan to manufacture e-bikes itself and will continue to supply motors, batteries, and electronic components to third-party manufacturers. Austrian company Vello is among the first brands to confirm the use of the new Hub Line system. Additionally, reports indicate that Bosch previously bypassed sanctions to sell technology to Huawei and will pay tens of millions of dollars as a result.
