Will the Bosch PowerTube 750 vertical (the smart system) work with the Bosch Active Line drive unit (the smart system)?

Yes. Both use Bosch smart system PowerTube (vertical-insertion version).

Both records are reviewed against the manufacturers' sources; sources last checked 2026-10-14. Informational only: confirm with the manufacturer before buying.

Why

  • ✓ Both use Bosch smart system PowerTube (vertical-insertion version).

Good to know

  • PowerTubes are built into the down tube and the frame is designed for one length: Bosch lists smart-system PowerTube 500 at 345 mm, 625 at 415 mm and 750 at 484 mm long. A different capacity only fits if the bike maker approves it for that frame.
  • Horizontal and vertical PowerTubes are separate versions (different part numbers, e.g. PowerTube 750 BBP3770 horizontal / BBP3771 vertical per Bosch's manual); buy the orientation your frame uses.
  • PowerTube 500 and 625 also exist for Bosch eBike System 2 under the same names; those do not fit this interface.
  • Bosch: 'Use only original Bosch batteries that the manufacturer has approved for your eBike' and 'Only charge the battery using original Bosch chargers'; Bosch warns other batteries/chargers can be a fire hazard (Bosch PowerTube 750 operating instructions, as hosted on ManualsLib).
  • Safety: use only batteries and chargers the drive-system maker approves. Lithium batteries that don't match can overheat.
