Motor Installation
Now that the bike is ready to have the motor
installed, the motor and its parts should be
disassembled as shown to the right in photo 1.
The components you have for this motor
installation are the main motor, two cranks,
two crank bolts, Bafang locking nut, bottom
bracket locking nut and the fixing plate that
has two bolts.
The first step of the installation is to slide the
shaft of the motor into the bottom bracket of
the frame as shown in photo two.
Photo three shows how the motor should
be pressed up against the down tube of
your frame before tightening all the motor’s
fasteners. Make sure any cables that run
along the down tube of your frame are clear
from being clamped down by the motor as
this could cause these brake/gear cables to
fail.
The next step is to put the fixing plate onto
the motor shaft and tighten down the two
bolts through the spacer and into the motor
body as shown in the last photo.
