• Warning!!

    Riding a tuned or deristricted EMTB is not a trivial offence and can have serious legal consequences. Also, many manufacturers can detect the use of a tuning device or deristricting method and may decline a repair under warranty if it was modified from the intended original specification. Deristricting EMTB's can also add increased loads for motors and batteries. Riding above the local law limit may reclassify the bike as a low-powered bike, requiring insurance, registration and a number plate.

    Be aware of your local country laws. Many laws prohibit use of modified EMTB's. It is your responsibility to check local laws. Ignoring it, has potential implications to trail access, and risk of prosecution in the event of an accident.

I have a Cube ebike with a Bosch gen 4 motor. Thinking of importing a NZ or US motor to Australia to get its 32km/h limit. Assuming I can get a motor, what problems might I encounter getting it going in my bike?
- needing to tell battery, display etc about the new motor? (requires LBS involvement and possible Bosch firmware flashing)
- different motors needing different mounting plates? (how frame-specific is this motor?)
- something else?
