2.4 – Here the motor has been completely removed from the bike. To do this you must first disconnect from the 
controller. Secondly, remove the rear wheel,  and the lower rear shock mount. You will now be able to remove 
the swing arm from the bike by removing the swing arm bushings (an 8mm Allen key is necessary).  Lastly, split 
the swing arm to free the motor by removing all 3 of the motor mount bolts. You will now be able to check the 
motor bearings simply by assessing whether you have any ‘play’ or movement on the motor shaft. If you do, then 
you will need to replace the motor bearings. In most cases we suggest  a better solution is to replace the motor 
altogether.

YOU SHOULD TAKE EXTREME CAUTION IN THIS PROCEDURE AS THE MAGNETS IN THE MOTOR ARE 
EXTREMELY STRONG AND YOU SHOULD TAKE CARE TO NOT TRAP YOUR FINGERS DURING RE-
ASSEMBLEY
