Intro to Bosch Performance Line Motors

Performance Line is Bosch's all-round drive system. The three versions below (Cruise, Sport and Speed) are from Bosch's earlier eBike System 2, and you'll still find them on a lot of bikes we've sold and service. Bosch's current Smart System has its own lineup, including Active Line Plus, Performance Line (75 Nm), Performance Line CX, Cargo Line and Performance Line Speed, with 5th-generation drive units added in 2025. Not sure which motor your bike has? Call or text us at 646-736-7716.
