Changing the Rear tire
The tire can be changed without disconnecting the motor
cable. Turn the bicycle upside down and lay it flat on the
ground.
Use a 18 mm wrench to loosen both nuts on the axle. Cut
the zip ties retaining the motor cable to the frame.
Carefully remove the wheel and mount the wheel
ʼ
s drive
side to the non-drive side dropout. This will create a work
stand for replacing the tire or tube. Change the tire or tube.
Replace the
wheel into the
normal
position. Use
a wrench to
tighten both
bolts as tight
as possible.
Use zip ties to
secure the
motor cable.
Important Notice!
The nut retaining the axle must be very secure. If
the nut is loose, the axle can spin inside of the
dropout under acceleration. This will damage the
motor wires and the dropout.
