Welcome to the home of e-Bike Motor Repairs
eBike Motor Centre (formally, Performance Line Bearings) has become the “go to place” for all your eBike Motor Repairs & Servicing.
Now serving many of the UK’s leading bike shops with their service and repair needs, as well as supplying countries all over the world through the eBike Motor Centre partner network.
Based in the heart of the New Forest, Performance Line Bearings began in 2018, and is now known as “eBike Motor Centre”.
“You should never be be told that something is not repairable. Once you have paid for that thing, it should become your thing to do with as you wish! The knowledge and tools should be provided to repair that thing should the need ever arise.
It isn’t sound ecologic practice to insist that you buy another thing, just because your first thing has stopped working!”
Peter Collard 2018 —

The Bosch Gen 2 error Code 500 now fixable!
Not many people know, but there are 73 different error code 500’s. What you can’t see on your handlebar display is the last three digits e.g. 500 111. Not that this would help as Bosch don’t tell you what these mean anyway.
ebike Motor Centre has teamed up with a local high-tech electronics company who had a team of engineers working with over 200 printed circuit boards, supplied by us, for over 3 weeks solid! This helped solve most of these software and hardware issues.
We can currently boast a 90% success rate of repairing all code 500 errors. This means it is no longer necessary to buy a new motor when it can be repaired. For the 10% that sadly can’t be repaired, we can usually offer a service exchange motor to keep you going.
We are pleased to announce eBike Motor Centre are now the Worldwide Trusted After Warranty Service Centre for Specialized Bicycle Components, Inc.
We are also the parent company of eMCB, the official Brose Warranty Service Centre for UK and Ireland.

Simon Webb2024-07-12Fantastic service from these guys, they are a great help with motors, servicing and advice. Always quick to respond and communicate.
Andrew Jones2024-07-11Highly recommend this service and knowledgeable expertise with my ebike motor repair and upgrade,thanks guys.
Mike Penfold2024-07-10I had my motor service done by these guys last April 23.. efficient and speedy service at the time Fast forward to July 24. Sudden squealing from my motor. A quick call to them and it was "not a problem send it back to us and although your 2 months out of warranty we will look after you". Well, motor fixed and the only cost to me was £15 shipping. I don't need to say anymore.... simply superb service and customer service.. many thanks Mike.
Biker Bird2024-07-08The sad story all us Gen 2 face now, no warranty and a faulty motor :( Thank my lucky starts for eBike motor repairs, now I'm off to the Alps feeling much more confident that my bike won't let me down! (fingers crossed!) Really fast turn around, good coms and my motor is all Shiney and new, Thanks eMotor repair :)
Neil Elsby2024-07-06damaged motor was received, faulty components and cost of repair clearly identified, and repair carried out within notified timescales. so not had chance to refit repaired motor yet, but service all good so far.
Cass2024-06-28Got my aging Gen 2 Bosch emtb out last week and realised something had seized and the cranks wouldn't turn. The guides on eBike Motor Centre's website were invaluable, helping me get into the engine and press out the right bearing. I ordered a replacement main engine bearing, along with some Bosch-spec grease, and their prompt dispatch had it all with me in two days, at which point I again used their guides to fit the replacement and close the engine back up. The result: in the space of a week, I went from thinking I'd bricked a bike that was going to cost some £2k to replace to blasting around ClimachX like nothing had ever gone wrong — for a bit over £30 all in. Thank you eBike Motor Centre for making all this information available, stocking the right stuff and being so quick to send it out!
Steve M2024-06-20I can't praise the team highly enough. Having determined that my motor had suffered water ingress I took the opportunity to go and see them. And while obviously busy they took the time to discuss issues and options. Great turn around service with motor back in 7 days. I had an issue when refitting the motor and they were more than happy to offer help. A further visit and conversation with the fitter who actually rebuilt my motor quickly resolved it. Service as it should be from a company that cares. If your LBS doesn't know/use them then I suggest you change bike shops. As if you own and use an ebike you will most likely be needing their services at some point!
Stephen Boucher2024-06-06Excellent advice prior to sending, great communication and excellent service the motor is quieter than its ever been, feels smooth and natural. Highly recommended.
Iain Ambler2024-05-30I've used these guys twice now and both times the service from them has been fantastic. They're friendly and honest to deal with and the level of workmanship from them is superb.
