This considerably widens the range of options available to bike designers, manufacturers and end consumers. The PowerTube 500 combines style and practicality, offering the power of an eBike with an aesthetic that more closely resembles a traditional bicycle.

For which accessories and tools does the type of design play a role? 1. Horizontal and vertical – more than just an exterior difference? With its small dimensions and 1.3 kg less weight compared to the 750 Wh version, the PowerTube 500 is ideal as a second battery. Because with an adapter, the short battery can also be used in large battery compartments. So you always have a battery reserve of 500 Wh even on really long tours. Another plus point of the PowerTube 500: after only 1.7 hours, the battery is charged to 50% and after only 4.5 hours it can go on tour again with full energy.

Plus, manufacturers will have freedom to design a bike that utilizes the PowerTube on the top, down, or seat tube.The Bosch PowerTube finds its place in a wide range of e-bikes and s-pedelecs. Whether trekking, city or e-mountain bike, the PowerTube 500 battery is suitable for all purposes. The Bosch battery is compatible with the current Bosch Active and Performance Line motors. On the top, different facings can be attached. Bottle cages or similar accessories also find their place on it. The PowerTube 500 Wh can be charged with all three Bosch chargers: Compact, Standard & Fast Charger. The charging time with the Fast Charger is approx. 2.5 - 3 hours. Depending on the shape of the frame and the cross-section of the down tube, bicycle manufacturers decide whether to use a horizontal or vertical battery. This often determines how the battery can be removed from the ebike. If the battery is removed from below or above, a horizontal battery is usually installed. If the battery is removed from the side, it is typically a vertical battery. 2. How can the two types be distinguished from each other? The Bosch PowerTube 500 is the smallest Intube battery from the Smart System family. Nevertheless, the battery with 500 Wh has enough energy for lots of e-bike fun. Thanks to the compact dimensions, the small Smart System PowerTube impresses with handiness and manageable weight.
