Front Wheel - Bolt-on installation
1. Make sure the brakes are loose enough to allow the wheel to
pass through the brake pads easily.
2. Place wheel into fork dropouts.
3. Install retaining washers with raised lip pointed towards the
fork, and insert into the small hole of the fork blade. NOTE:
Some bikes may have step retaining washers in place of the
retaining washer (shown in dotted box). If so, install the step
retaining washer, raised portion sliding in to the fork dropouts.
4. Install axle nut and tighten. Make sure the wheel is centered
between the fork blades.
5. Spin the wheel to make sure that it is centered and clears the
brake shoes. Tighten the brakes if necessary.
Tighten both rear wheel axle nuts securely. Failure to do
this may cause the rear wheel to dislodge from the frame
dropouts resulting in serious damage or injury.

Periodically, disassemble the mechanism from the
bicycle and inspect for any wear or damage and replace if
necessary. When reinstalling, it is very important to ensure
the connections are made properly.

enough to allow the wheel to pass through the brake pads easily.
For disc brakes, no adjustment is required.
2. Place the wheel into the frame dropouts.
3. Slide a washer onto each side of the axle
4. Install axle nuts and tighten. Make sure the wheel is centered in
the frame. This may be easiest with the bike turned upside-down.

Rear Wheel - Bolt-on Removal
1. If the bicycle has rim brakes, make sure the brakes are loose
enough to allow the wheel to pass through the brake pads easily.
For disc brakes, no adjustment is required.
2. Most IZIP bikes have a plug or quick-disconnect box located on
the seat stay or chain stay. These allow the motor to be easily
disconnected from the controller. Simply undo the single large
plug (Zuma, E3Metro, Ultra, Via Rapido) or open the black plastic
box and undo the five plugs inside (most other IZIP bikes).
3. With the bicycle in a stand or upside-down, loosen the axle nuts
then remove the wheel from the bicycle.
