Installing/Removing the Rear Wheel
We recommended the removal and installation of the rear wheel to be done by a qualified dealer.
Should you have to do this yourself, please follow the instructions below:
To Remove the rear wheel
• Make sure that the system is turned off
• Remove the neoprene covers (Fig. 1)
• Unplug the two cable connections that lead to the motor (Fig. 2)

• Disconnect the cable guide from the rear wheel brake (only on bicycles with V-brakes)
• Loosen the axle nut on the rear wheel using a 15mm ring wrench (Fig. 3)
• Slide the rear wheel downwards out of the drop out
WARNING
Always turn off the propulsion system prior to plugging in or unplugging the motor cables.
CAUTION
It is absolutely essential that the axle nuts are tightened with a torque of 40Nm/30lb-ft;
this ensures that the propulsion system functions properly. Ensure the torque reaction
collar is fully inserted into the dropout.
Hydraulic disc brake: Do not pull the brake lever with the brake disc on the rear wheel
removed from the caliper. Insertion of the wheel can be difficult or impossible as the brake
pads will prevent brake disc from sliding in place.
