36/48V BRUSHLESS FRONT HUB MOTOR KIT- BUDDY TRIKE
INSTALLATION & USER MANUAL
Correct installation is critical to prevent the motor from spinning in the fork. Please
review these instructions BEFORE starting the installation and refer to them during
the installation process.
1.
FRONT WHEEL ASSEMBLY ORIENTATION
Refer to photographs (1, 2 and 3)
1.1.
Use a stand to support the trike so that the front fork is off the ground and the
bike is stable during the motor installation process. Place the front wheel / motor
assembly just under the front fork and rotate the axle so that the flats on the axle are
aligned vertically.
1.2.
There is a left and a right side to the motor. The motor cable exits on the right-
hand side. The disc brake mounting interface is on the left-hand side. Installing the
wheel backwards will result in the front wheel spinning the wrong way.
1.3.
The right-hand side of the motor axle is also slotted on one side. This slot
MUST be oriented downwards. This will result in a looped cable near the dropout
and facilitate wheel removal for maintenance or adjustment.
2.
FRONT WHEEL ASSEMBLY SPACING
Refer to photographs (1, 2 and 3)
2.1.
Visually check the fork axle spacing against the motor. In some cases, the fork
will need to be spread to accommodate the inner thrust washers already mounted on
the hub motor axle. These MUST go inside the fork to provide a solid mounting
interface.
2.2.
If the fork needs to be spread, a tool can be easily fabricated using a rear axle,
three axle nuts and washers. Two nuts are used on one side to lock the axle to the
fork and the fork is spread from the other side using the third axle nut. The washers
are used between the fork and the axle nuts to protect the paint.
2.3.
There are several items of required hardware on each side of the hub motor
axle. On the right-hand side there MUST be a thrust washer, a shaped split washer,
a large slotted washer, an axle nut and a rubber end cap. On the left-hand side there
MUST be a thrust washer, a shaped split washer, a torque arm, an axle nut and a
rubber end cap.
