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 operation is best achieved by
turning the bicycle upside down.
3.12.2 Locate the motor cable where it emerges from the centre of the wheel axle, slide back the
top hat protector to locate wheel nut.
3.12.3 Trace the route of the motor cable along the stays and locate the quick release motor cable
connector. Disconnect the two halves of the connector, taking care not to strain the cables,
and unclip the motor cable from the frame. Note the alignment marks on the two halves of
the connector.
3.12.5 Loosen the two large motor axle nuts and remove the nut from the right hand side, taking
care to note the position of any tab washers fitted. Unscrew the left hand nut as far as is
possible towards the cable exit from the motor axle, being careful not to damage the cable.
3.12.6 Lift the wheel from the frame dropouts, being careful not to snag or strain the motor cable.
