Battery/Controller
The HL battery cradle/controller included with this kit mounts on your down-tube, where your bottle
holder fixings would normally be. If the bike does not have these fixings or they are not in a suitable posi-
tion, you can fit riv-nuts (supplied) to allow you to mount the battery cradle. Ensure that you mount the
cradle high enough up the down-tube 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 up-
wards (towards the front of the bike) a little when removing it. Also, 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.
Don’t forget to use the supplied washers, if you bolt the cradle to the frame without using the washers,
the plastic will deform and eventually break.
Once the cradle has been secured to the frame, fit the battery in place and double-check that that you
have enough clearance at either end, and adjust the position of the base if necessary. You should then
remove the battery and continue on with the installation of the kit.
Do NOT continue the installation
with the battery in place.
You should only re-fit the battery when all leads have been correctly terminat-
ed/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.
Motor Wheels:
There are several different options for the motor wheel.
The Front-BPM options require torque arms to
be fitted
, and the rear wheel options will need the cassette or freewheel from your existing wheel to be
fitted to the new motor wheel.
