It’s important to your safety, performance, and enjoyment to understand how things work on
your Ebike. We urge you to please contact

or call at

or ask your dealer for support and how to do the things described in this section
before you attempt them yourself, and that you have your dealer check your work before you
ride the Ebike. If you have even the slightest doubt as to whether you understand something in
this section of the Manual, talk to your dealer. See also Appendix A, B, C and D.
Ebike wheels are designed to be removable for easier transportation and for repair of a tire
puncture. In most cases, the wheel axles are inserted into slots, called “dropouts” in the fork
and frame, but some mountain and road Ebikes use what is called a “through axle” wheel
mounting system.
If you have a mountain or road Ebike equipped with through axle front or rear wheels,
make sure that your dealer has given you the manufacturer’s instructions, and fol-
low those when installing or removing a through axle wheel. If you don’t know what a
through axle is, ask your dealer.
If you do not have an Ebike with a through-axle wheel mounting system, it will have wheels
secured in one of three ways:
1. A hollow axle with a shaft (“skewer”) running through it which has an adjustable tension nut
on one end and an over-center cam on the other (cam action system, fig.8 a & b)
2. A hollow axle with a shaft (“skewer”) running through it which has a nut on one end and a
fitting for a hex key, lock lever or other tightening device on the other (through bolt, fig. 9)
3. Hex nuts or hex key bolts which are threaded on to or into the hub axle (bolt-on wheel, fig.
10) Your Ebike may be equipped with a different securing method for the front wheel than
for the rear wheel. Discuss the wheel securing method for your Ebike with your dealer.
CAUTION: In some cases- an Ebike motor could be incorporated with-in the rear hub.
If this is the case, please show extreme caution and care with removing the rear wheel.
If you are unsure or have doubt, please seek help by contacting us at BIKE.com at
[email protected] or call at 1-(877)-755-2453(BIKE) or ask your dealer for support.
It is very important that you understand the type of wheel securing method on your
Ebike, that you know how to secure the wheels correctly, and that you know how to apply
the correct clamping force that safely secures the wheel.
Please contact BIKE.com at [email protected] or call at 1-(877)-755-2453(BIKE) or ask your
dealer for all service to instruct you in correct wheel removal and installation and ask for
any available manufacturer’s instructions.
