FRONT WHEEL ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
Refer to photographs (1, 2 and 3)
3.1.
Install the hub motor assembly with the thrust washers on the axle
INSIDE
the
fork arms and the tabs pointing
DOWN
. The tabs will line up with the axle opening.
3.2.
Install the shaped split washers on the axle
OUTSIDE
the fork arms. The open
side
MUST
face downwards. The shaped split washers will slide into the dropout
recess.
3.3.
On the right-hand side install the large slotted washer and slide it against the
shaped split washer. On the left-hand side install the two-piece torque arm and slide
it against the shaped split washer.
3.4.
Install both axle nuts and torque to a minimum of 40Nm. Confirm that the tire is
centered inside the fork and that the shaped split washers have both properly
installed themselves in the dropout recesses.
3.5.
Install the protective rubber end caps, form a loop with the hub motor wire and
anchor the wire to the right-hand side fork arm using the tie wraps provided. (This
wire will be later bundled with the throttle cable and / or any other cables sharing a
similar routing using a spiral wound plastic cable wrap.)
3.6.
Complete the left-hand side torque arm installation by installing and tightening
the stainless-steel band clamp around the left fork arm. Then tighten the nut and bolt
that the two parts of the torque arm pivot on. The stainless-steel band clamp is
NOT
optional. It
MUST
be installed.

COMPONENT INSTALLATIONS
Refer to photograph (4)
4.1 CONTROL BOX
The recommended installation location for the control box on a trike is on the
seat stays behind the seat. From this location the wires can be easily routed to reach
the battery, throttle and hub motor. Use 4 of the tie wraps provided to securely
anchor it in place. Orientation is a personal preference
– leads can come out the top
or bottom.
Required connections are the throttle interface, the power leads and the 3
motor phase wires. The 5-lead Hall sensor connector is easy to connect but is
optional with the controller provided.
