INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing a Converted System Summit conversion kit. We are confident you will enjoy the freedom riding electric brings. Bike/frame selection - The mid drive unit fits many different bike frames however some fit better than others and there are some which unfortunately won’t convert. Generally speaking a basic hard tail(no rear suspension) bike with a traditional tringle frame will be the easiest conversion.

3. BIKE PREPARATION Installing your Converted System Summit kit is not hard, but you do need a certain level of mechanical knowledge. There are plenty of online video tutorials on youtube should you get stuck. Otherwise contact us and we can help you out.
3. BIKE PREPARATION 3.3 Handlebars Some times it is easiest to remove everything off the handlebars before reinstalling in prefered order. The end setup of the handlebars comes down to personal preference, however you will no longer be running a front derailleur so the shifter can be completely removed. If your bike is set up with cable brakes*, it is advised to replace with the included levers which incorporate cut-out switches which cut motor power when the brake is operated.
4. KIT INSTALLATION 4.1 Bottom Bracket Preparation / Motor Fit The folowing instructions relate to the standard threaded bottom bracket, which is currectly the most commonly found type. The internal diameter is 33.6mm-33.9mm and the width between 68-73mm. For other styles/sizes of bottom bracket you may require additional fitting adapters and spacers. Please contact Converted System for further info.

4. KIT INSTALLATION Holding the motor against the downtube, using a lock ring tool or C-spanner (see pic) tighten both the M33 lockring (33-40Nm torque) and the BB cup over the M33 (20-30Nm torque). Lock ring socket tools are available to purchase through Converted System. Tighten the M6 bolts to final torque (34-40Nm).
4. KIT INSTALLATION 4.2 Speed Sensor Fitting Install the speed sensor on the rear chainstay. The ideal fitting point for the sensor and magnet is approximately 50mm from the rim. The mount for the sensor has double-sided tape but fasten further with two zip ties. Install the magnet on a spoke.

4. KIT INSTALLATION 4.3 Shift Sensor Fitting Install the shift sensor on your gear-shift cable. Ideal position is on the upper chainstay. Feed the gear-shift cable through the sensor. There should be only a small amount of resistance. Secure with zip ties. Connect the shift sensor to the yellow plug which runs from the bottom of the controller.
4. KIT INSTALLATION 4.4 Battery-Mount Fitting Mount the battery cradle to the downtube ensuring that you have at least 2 bolts fixing the cradle in position.

4. KIT INSTALLATION IMPORTANT: Before continuing, remove the battery from the cradle to ensure the system is not powered on. Plug the battery cable into the correct IP67 loom which runs from the motor controller. There is only one connector this shape, ensure connectors are pressed together as far as they can go.
4. KIT INSTALLATION 4.5 Fitting the Chainring Fit the front chainring to the motor. In this image we have used a Converted System BLINGRING (Summit Pro Kit / optional accessory). Tighten the M5 x 10mm bolts to 25-30nm. Ensure the chainring is free to turn and does not touch the chainstay, else spacers or a smaller chainring may be required.

Insert and tighten the M8 crank bolts to 40nm. Note that the optional Converted System Buzz bar cranks which are self-extracting are used in this example.

The throttle can be installed on either the left or right side of the handlebars. Note: As you may still have the rear gear shifter located on the right side, this may interfere with easy operation.
4. KIT INSTALLATION 4.9 Cable tidy up and check Check over all cables, ensuring no cables interfere with other systems on the bike, use cable ties as necessary. Ensure all cable connectors are fully inserted. Ensure there is adequate length allowed for around moving parts (steering, suspension etc) and cables are not strained at the full extent of movement.
