Battery/Controller
The HL battery
-
cradle/controller included with this kit mounts on your down
-
tube, where your bottle
holder would normally be. If the bike does not have these fixings or they are not in a suitable position, you
will need to fit riv
-
nuts (supplied) to allow you to mount the battery cradle. Ensure that you mount the
cradle high enough along the down
-
tube so that the cradle doesn
’
t foul on the chain
-
ring. You will also
need to ensure that there is sufficient clearance at the top end of the battery, the battery needs to be slid
upwards a little when removing it. Be careful not to mount the cradle too low, or you may find that the
battery hits the seat
-
tube before it
’
s fully engaged on the cradle. The space required is 38cm x 10cm.
Don
’
t forget to use the supplied washers and rubber supports (shown below). If you bolt the cradle to
the frame without using the washers/supports, the plastic will deform and eventually break.
Motor Wheels:
There are several different options for the motor wheel, front, rear,
26”,
700c, cassette hubs, freewheel
hubs etc. We would normally have identified the motor/wheel that would best suit your bike before the
order was placed.
Once the cradle has been secured to the frame, fit the battery in place and check that it fits correctly.
Next, remove the battery from the cradle and continue on with the installation of the kit.
Do NOT contin-
ue the installation with the battery in place.
You should only re
-
fit the battery when all leads have been
correctly terminated/secured and the kit installation is complete. If you leave the battery attached, you
may accidentally short something and damage the battery and/or kit components.
