Abstract: Methods and apparatus for reconfiguring a battery and/or an electric motor assembly for an electric bicycle drive system are provided. A battery having a plurality of battery cells in a first configuration adapted to provide a first battery voltage can be reconfigured into a second configuration adapted to provide a second battery voltage. The second battery voltage may be lower than the first battery voltage. The battery can be charged when in the second configuration. Similarly, an arrangement of two or more electric motors can be provided in a first configuration adapted to provide at least one of a first torque output during a driving action and a first regenerative voltage output during a braking action. The motors can be reconfigured into a second configuration adapted to provide at least one of a second torque output during the driving action and a second regenerative voltage output during the braking action.
