Electric Motor Maintainence
Your hub motor is designed to be virtually maintence free. If you notice a decline in performance (other than a
low battery charge) it is most likely time to change the brushes inside the motor. It is advised that you bring
your trike to the dealer for this service.
1.
Turn your trike upside down.
a. Disconnect the power leads to the motor.
b. Remove axle nuts, washers and retaining clips.
2.
Loosen brake and remove front wheel assembly.
3.
Remove the 6 hex head screws (A) locknut and snapring from wire side of hub (Fig. 25).
4.
Carefully remove cover plate to expose brush housings (Fig. 26).
5.
Carefully remove black brush housing caps and remove old brushes (B) (Fig. 27).
6.
Reinstall new set of brushes (Fig. 28). Always replace both brushes at the same time to promote even wear.
