The present disclosure relates to a hub apparatus and associated charging systems. In some embodiments, the hub apparatus includes (1) a housing assembly defining an internal space; (2) a shaft positioned to extend through the housing assembly; (3) a stator assembly fixedly coupled to the shaft; (4) a side cover fixedly coupled to the shaft and rotatably coupled to the housing assembly, the side cover having a base portion and a mating portion extending from the base portion; and (5) a pair of first connectors positioned through the mating portion. Each of the first connectors comprising a terminal end and a contact portion. The terminal end is electrically coupled to a battery assembly via a wire bundle fixedly coupled to the side cover. The contact portion is configured to electrically couple to an external power source so as to charge the battery assembly through a wired connection.
