Welcome to the home of e-Bike Motor Repairs
The 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 their partner network.
Based in the heart of the New Forest, Performance Line Bearings began in 2018, and is now known as the “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.
The 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! Solving 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.

I'm a pilot and assistant mechanic for Cycling Without Age Portland. Our Brose-powered Triobike has a hard time on our hills, and was suffering because of that and the bodgery visited upon it following a 'repair' by a local bike shop. I am beyond glad that I discovered eBike Motor Centre! Pete and the team have been extremely generous and gave us loads of great advice even before we spent a single penny with them! Five stars doesn't do them justice, and I hope this is the start of a great working relationship as we continue to provide a reliable fleet of trishaws to allow local elderly and disabled people to enjoy the fresh air and the wind in their hair. Chapeau!

Such a great company! Spoke to them first and even if I didn’t buy anything they helped me massively.
I did buy something in the end and the advice that followed that - and after sale support!
One of the best companies I have ever dealt with!

Amazing service. Apprehensive at first the whole idea of posting my beloved motor, but couldn’t have been simpler with great instructions and communication and then the whole turn around time was amazing!
My bikes got a new lease of life.
Highly recommended 👍

I would highly recommend these guys. The overall experience was excellent, the e-bike drive unit was fully serviced and repaired at a reasonable cost and the service was fast and efficient. Delighted that I now have a "new" e-bike again, that a nearby Haibike Sussex -e-bike dealer alternatively tried to charge me £1,100 for by installing a brand new drive unit or £3,000 for a new e-bike! After-service was also excellent with immediate help to resolve a minor technical refitting issue. Overall, an excellent 5* service and thank you.
