4. With a cam action mechanism, move the quick-release lever to the OPEN position (FIG
10.B). With a through bolt or bolt on mechanism, loosen the fastener(s) with an appropriate
wrench, lock lever or integral lever; then push the wheel forward far enough to be able to
remove the chain from the rear sprocket.
5. (5) Lift the rear wheel off the ground a few inches and remove it from the rear dropouts.
d. Installing a disk brake or rim brake Rear Wheel
CAUTION: If your Ebike is equipped with a rear disk brake, be careful not to damage
the disk, caliper or brake pads when re-inserting the disk into the caliper. Never activate
a disk brake’s control lever unless the disk is correctly inserted in the caliper.
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

1. With a cam action system, move the cam lever to the OPEN position (see FIG 10.A & 10.B).
The lever should be on the side of the wheel opposite the derailleur and freewheel sprockets.
2. On a derailleur Ebike, make sure that the rear derailleur is still in its outermost, high gear,
position; then pull the derailleur body back with your right hand. Put the chain on top of the
smallest freewheel sprocket.
3. On a single speed, remove the chain from the front sprocket, so that you have plenty of slack
in the chain. Put the chain on the rear wheel sprocket.
4. Then, insert the wheel into the frame dropouts and pull it all the way in to the dropouts.
5. On a single speed or an internal gear hub, replace the chain on the chainring; pull the wheel
back in the dropouts so that it is straight in the frame and the chain has about 1/4 inches of
up-and-down play.
6. With a cam action system, move the cam lever upwards and swing it into the CLOSED
position (FIG 10.A & 10.B). The lever should now be parallel to the seat stay or chain stay and
curved toward the wheel. To apply enough clamping force, you should have to wrap your
fingers around the fork blade for leverage, and the lever should leave a clear imprint in the
palm of your hand.
7. With a through-bolt or bolt-on system, tighten the fasteners to the torque specifications
in Appendix D or the hub manufacturer’s instructions.
NOTE: If, on a traditional cam action system, the lever cannot be pushed all the way to a
position parallel to the seat stay or chain stay, return the lever to the OPEN position.
Then turn the tension adjusting nut counterclockwise one-quarter turn and try tightening
the lever again.
