Bosch PowerTube Frame Base

No, this specific frame base is designed exclusively for Bosch PowerTube batteries that utilize The Smart System. It will not work with older Bosch e-bike systems.

The horizontal mounting type refers to the orientation of the battery within the frame's downtube. Before purchasing, ensure your e-bike frame is specifically engineered for a horizontal PowerTube configuration, as it is not interchangeable with vertical mounting setups.

The pivot mechanism allows the battery to swing out of the frame rather than sliding straight out. This design makes installation and removal significantly easier, especially in tight frame spaces, and helps ensure a secure, rattle-free fit while riding.

While it is a mechanical component, installing a battery frame base requires precise alignment to ensure the electrical contacts connect properly and the battery locks securely. If you are not experienced with e-bike frame maintenance, we recommend having a certified Bosch e-bike technician perform the installation to maintain system integrity.

This product is the frame base component itself. It is intended to be used with the existing mounting points on a compatible frame, but you should verify if your specific frame requires additional proprietary bolts or spacers that may not be included in this kit.
