Most kits will have an adjustable strap system
that attaches the front of the EMtnD to the
frame. The primary motor plate has cutouts to
accommodate the head of the clamp, allowing
it to be out of the way and streamlined.
Tighten the clamp until there is significant
tension holding the motor to the down tube.
As you do this, feed the emerging clamp tail
into the supplied piece of shrink wrap, this will
prevent any exposed edges. When clamp is
tight, shrink this with a heat gun, blow-dryer,
pen torch, or lighter. If using flame, be sure
not to burn the bike or yourself! (Photo 5)
If you have a machined clamp for your appli-
cation, there will be 2 M5 bolts holding it to
the motor frame, and 1 M6 bolt holding the
halves together above the bike’s boom.
Once both halves are installed, tighten the M5
bolts and nuts holding the clamps the EMtnD
unit. Next, tighten the M6 bolt and nut. If you
have a torque wrench, tighten them to 90 inch-
lbs (10 N-m). Otherwise tighten firmly but not
so much as to close the gap between the clamp
top more than a couple of mm.
Step 6: Finish attaching the EMtnD unit.
Make sure all clamp bolts or strap is tight.
Tighten both bottom bracket nuts.
Tighten the bottom bracket in all the way be-
fore screwing the adjust cup in, leaving just
enough threads for the lock ring. Use your pin
spanners, and when the cup is in all the way,
hold it in place and tighten the lock ring up
against the collar.
It may take some time to get the hang of using
the spanner with the EcoSpeed tool, just take
your time and it will come. Do not lose the spe-
cial tool, as you will need it to change bottom
brackets, or remove the motor in case you
change trikes, etc.(Photo 6)
