2. Locate the quick release and pull the quick release lever open and away from the
fork dropout.
3. Opening the quick release lever will loosen the grip on the fork and then loosen
the acorn nut to clear the safety tab sat fork dropouts. When installing the wheel, it
is the reverse process of ―removing the wheel’. Follow these instructions to install
the wheel:
4. Slide the wheel axle into the fork dropouts, confirming they are mounted in the
dropouts with no space.
5. Install the axle quick release skewer. With the quick release fully open, tighten
the acorn nut until a slight resistance.
6. Once tightened, close the quick release lever with force to clamp and lock the
axle into the dropouts. The force must be strong enough for the axle not to later
become loose. It should take some effort to close the lever but not so much that
you are straining or feel you are damaging the quick release. You should not be
able to easily open the quick release lever.
7. Test to see if the quick release lever will open with 1 finger. If it opens, you must
perform the previous step again until the quick release lever clamp is tight.
Motor Controller Replacement
The controller is considered the “brains” of the ebike and is located at the top of the
down tube behind the top battery mount. The controller has been designed to be
easily changed if an issue was to occur. To access the controller, you would need to
remove the top of the battery mount with a Philips screwdriver. If it ever needs to
be replaced, it’s just plug and play.
