Bosch Performance Line Motor

[Ronster51]

Hello I have a chance to purchase a barely used EVO Terratrike Recumbent with the perfomance line Bosch motor.
I currently have a Terratrike Rambler with a 750watt bafang coupled with a Shimano Nexus rear hub. It is very fast and even at low speeds there is a lot of Ghost Pedaling involved so not too much of a work out, so, it is for sale. What is the wattage on the Bosch Performance Line motor? How will it compare on trails.

Bosch lists eight Performance Line motors. All are 250-watt nominal, 600-watt maximum, and torque rating ranging from 55Nm to 85Nm, which is meaningless because they don't tell us how they measure those numbers. In general, I have found Bosch motors to be wimpy compared to Yamaha motors. Those are the only two mid-drive motors I have personally used extensively. I don't know how Bosch would compare to your Bafang. I suspect you would find the Bosch more refined but less powerful, but I don't really know.

that motor is 63nm. we have one on our tandem. it will be smooth and you will have to put effort into peddling. but it will feel natural. I never found the motor lacking if you can put effort into peddling. I am not strong but I can climb any hill I have found upto 22% grade.
