Rear wheel removal and installation

1

   Make sure the power is switched OFF.

2

   Lift the motorcycle onto a block or stand so that both wheels are off the ground.

3

   Using the Allen wrench #5 loosen and remove 2 upper bolts from the chain guide and 

remove it from the rear swing arm.

4

   Using the Allen wrench #10 and the open wrench #24 loosen and remove the rear 

axle nut. Don’t remove the rear axle yet.

5

   Move the rear axle and both chain eccentres a few millimeters aside to the point 

where the wheel can be pushed forward and the chain can slip off to the outer side 
of the sprocket.

6

   While holding the wheel, slowly remove the rear axle and spacers on both sides.

7

   Pull the wheel carefully back to remove it.

8

   To re-install the wheel, reverse the above procedure and ensure the wheel is aligned 

correctly and the axle nut is tightened properly. (78 - 80 Nm).

9

   Spin the rear wheel to ensure it is centered and spins freely. If not, go to the bottom 

of this page and follow the brake adjustment instructions.

Front and rear brake adjustment

1

   Check whether the brake disk and the brake pads are not worn-out and don’t need  

a replacement.

2

   Using the Allen wrench #5, loosen the two brake caliper bolts.

3

   Pull and hold the corresponding brake lever firmly for the caliper to get centered with 

the brake disc and re-tighten the caliper fixing bolts (9,5 - 10,5 Nm), then release the 
brake lever.

4

   Test the brake by pulling hard on the lever a number of times.

5

   If the wheel does not spin freely with the brake lever released, the caliper position 

itself needs to be fine adjusted again repeating the steps 1 to 3. Remember that the 
new brake pads are thicker and need to break-in first.

 WARNING!

Do not operate your KUBERG Challenger if any damage is apparent. Immediately contact 
your local retailer/distributor or KUBERG Customer Service.

 WARNING!

There are no user serviceable elements incorporated into the motor, motor controller, 
batteries, battery charger, throttle or wiring harness of your KUBERG electric motorcycle.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISASSEMBLE OR ADJUST ANY OF THESE COMPONENTS.

 

Doing so may cause extensive damage to these components, will void your warranty, 
and may result in danger to persons and/or property. If you cannot resolve any problem 
using this owner’s manual, contact your KUBERG authorized dealer, or call the KUBERG 
Customer Service for assistance.

Front wheel removal and installation

1

   Make sure the power is switched OFF.

2

   Lift the motorcycle onto a block or stand so that both wheels are off the ground.

3

   Using the Allen wrench #8 loosen (clockwise) and remove front axle locking bolt (right 

hand side of the motorcycle).

4

   Using the same wrench loosen and while holding the wheel, slowly remove the axle 

from the dics side and spacers. Note the position and orientation of both spacers 
and that one spacer acts also as a disc guard.

5

   Lower the wheel carefully away from the front fork.

6

   To reinstall the wheel, check that the front hub spacer is coaxial with both bearings 

and insert the front wheel and both spacers carefully into the front fork. The brake 
disc must slide easily and gently between brake pads. Then slowly slide the axle into 
the front hub from the disc side and tighten it (first by hand clockwise, then to 12-15 
Nm).

7

   Reinsert and tighten the axle locking bolt anticlockwise (12 - 15 Nm).

8

   Ensure the wheel is aligned correctly and the axle bolt is tight.

9

   Spin the front wheel to ensure it is centered and spins freely. If not, follow the front 

brake adjustment 

on page 21.
