IV User Manual Pedelec with front motor 19
9 Removing the front wheel
As the motor is built into the front wheel, you must per-
form the following steps before you can remove the front
wheel:
›
Take the battery out of the Pedelec.
Always remove the battery before removing the front
wheel and carrying out any subsequent work on the
motor as otherwise you could injure yourself.
›
Undo the two small hexagon socket screws on the
plastic cover that is fitted to the left of the front
wheel by turning them anticlockwise using a 3 mm
Allen key. Keep these in a safe place. Slide the cov-
er to the left and take it off the fork.

Once the cover is removed, you should now be able

To open the white connector, push a sharp object
(tip of a key or ball point pen) down onto the an-
gled surface of the snap-in mechanism, as shown
below. You can pull the two connector halves apart
when pushing this surface back.

To open the green connector, push a flat pointed
object (small screwdriver or small point of a key)

connector halves while lifting the tab.

The cables leading to the two connectors, exit from
a black plastic tube just in front of the two connec-
tors. At this point, they are joined together with
metal braiding inside a metal clamp and fastened
with a crosshead screw. Unscrew and remove the
small screw by turning it anticlockwise.
