Drive wheel removal
3.12.1 To completely remove the rear wheel it is necessary to disconnect the main motor cable
connecting the motor to the bicycle electrical system. This is located on the front fork. Turn off all
electrical systems on the bike and un plug the two halves of the connector by carefully pulling them
apart taking care not to strain the cables. Note the position of the alignment arrows which must be
as shown below before reassembly
3.12.2 Remove the single Allen screw securing the motor cable clamp to the front fork (shown
above) and the protective covers on the front wheel spindle nuts.
3.12.3 Slacken the front brake arms as described in the brake adjustment section above to provide
clearance for the tyre to pass through the brake pads.
3.12.4 Slacken the nuts taking note of any tab washers fitted and lift the wheel from the fork
dropouts.
3.12.5 Re assembly is the reverse of the above taking care to check and adjust the front brakes and
ensure the motor cable connector alignment marks are correctly aligned. Re tighten the wheel nuts
to the correct torque shown in the manual and ensure the motor cable exits in a downward position
to avoid ingress of water into the motor. Re clamp the cable to the front fork ensuring it cannot rub
against the tyre.
