Quick-release lever and brake disc collide

Front wheel: The quick-release lever
must be positioned on the opposite
side to the brake disc (where fitted).
If the quick-release lever is on the
same side as the brake disc, there
is a risk that they can clash and lock
the front wheel (see diagram), which
can cause a serious accident.
All quick-release clamps must be correctly tightened before you set
off, otherwise the components can loosen – which, if it happens while
you are riding the bike, could cause you to fall off, leading to serious
injuries.
Removing the front wheel
1. Switch off the pedelec.
2. Open the axle lever by folding it by
180˚. You will now usually be able to
see the word ‘OPEN’ on the inside of
the lever.
3. Undo the adjustment nut by turning it
slightly
anticlockwise.
