In this video a certified Bosch technician removes the second generation mid-drive motor from a Haibike Xduro RX electric bike. To complete this service you will need a lock ring tool (with a half inch drive and adapter) as well as a chain whip and T15 torx driver. The Bosch system can use three cog sizes including 20 tooth for small wheel and 18 or 15 tooth for a mountain bike wheel. The cogs are build by each manufacturer and the Haibike cog has a chain guide built in. The exterior plastic casing of the motor is mainly cosmetic but it does serve as a skid plate as well. This service would be done to install a light kit, deal with a speed sensor issue or replace the entire Centerdrive. From front to back on the left side of the motor are the HMI (Human Machine Interface) Cable, Headlight and Rear light Cable, Speed Sensor Cable and Power Cable. The motor itself weighs ~5.5 lbs. The Bosch Powerpack 400 weighs ~8.8 pounds. Bolts inside are torqued down at ~30 Nm. The new Bosch CX motor weighs 200 grams less and will not require a plastic cover so it will appear smaller visually and allow more clearance for suspension travel.

The lock ring tool is called a spanner socket or spanner wrench and is used in removing the ring for a part on a Sikorsky helicopter rotor head. It was designed in the 1960s.

I have a Cube New Trail with the new CX motor but had a Click, squeak from the unit and need to remove the pedal arm and left cover and re-torque the bolts and screws, they were somewhat loose. solved the problem. I would suggest replacing the nylon lock nut if they become loose, they are cheap and easy to find.

I assume that I have similar problem in my Haibike. The light squeak appealed after every rain I was ride a bike. For now it sounds like one or more screws loosed little more and it has changed into constant squeak, no matter is a rainy day or not. That must be definitely the chassis bolt that holds motor to frame of bike. Anyway I have to order few tools to fix it up, like a Crank puller and Bosh's 8 tooth locking. It's also good to make a small service by the occasion and check all motor bearings same as put new Bosh Grease for main plastic crank wheel and change some washers for brand new. It all might be a little pricey but once I get all tools and more grease, I'm more independent from any bike services and can do any maintenance for my own than pay my money every time I need a service to someone else.

@@MrProminister I found the problem for my Nu-Trail’ It was the bearings in the rear hub. The noise only came when pedaling not freewheeling. It wasn’t the motor. Bearings are cheap and easy to replace before taking motor apart. The bearings that were bad where the ones in the free hub.

Can you tell me if thats normal, to be able to squeeze the plastic housing and have it flex allot. It does it at the top, but not the bottom. Thanks!!

"The new Bosch CX motor weighs 2 grams less ..." That should be *200 grams less* - or 0.44 lbs. I learned that these Bosch units are basically "Electronic Power Steering" units that are used in cars, trucks, ATV's and tractors. I am still hoping for more powerful motor units, and the loss of derailleur's all together. Derailleurs are fragile, and extremely succeptable to trail damage. Hub motors look like the way to go for severe trail duty. JMO.

Wait. This is what Bosch offers. I this is a specially designed unit for bicycles and are intentionally limited to low wattage for liability and/or legal reasons. You need to look elsewhere for all you describe. There are dozens of units without deraiileurs available...just not here. ALSO...he does state 200 grams...not 2 grams as you indicate.

Hub motor also negatively affects the sprung to unsprung mass ratio, hence degrades the performance of the suspension - it will increase the unsprung mass in the rear at least 2 times, it's a huge difference! Unless the frame of the bike is very heavy, there's no use of hub motors in MTB's.

Was a little apprehensive when buying this with the few negative reviews on here, but this was exactly the kind of bike I was looking for. kzfaq.infoUgkxn_jUDSlprMIeubd9rHdEAnv59nKfjcKv I plan to ride it on paved roadways and trails, and wanted a "Grocery Getter" so to speak. After receiving it (without any damage), I had it out of the box, and fully assembled in about 30 minutes. I did not have to look at the manual, and I'm glad because I did look at it after I got it together, and it looks like it's a manual for several different styles. I did have to adjust the breaks and gear shifters, but that's been my experience with every bike I've owned. There was one review in particular that made me nervous, saying it was not meant for someone 6'4", it was too short. Well I'm 6'5" (230lbs) with a 36" inseam, and can tell you this bike fits perfectly, granted the seat is in it's highest safe position. I've only had it for 3 days so far, and if things change I will update my review, but I put 26 miles on it so far, and it rides like a dream. Very comfortable seating position. The front suspension is good for the occasional rock or bump you hit on asphalt, but this bike is not made to be taken off road, and I'm OK with that. I was particularly happy to see the wheels were trued perfectly. I was expecting to have to take them in and have them trued at a local bike shop, as I've had to do with all my past bike purchases, but in this case they were already in great shape. For the money, this is an awesome bike.
