Hub Motor Installation
The easiest way to mount a hub motor and
secure the front wheel is to orient your bicycle
upside down resting on its handlebars and
seat, if you don't have a bike stand available.
Some key guidelines:
Remove original front wheel
•
Orient the hub motor so that, when
•
facing forward, the disc brake is on
the left-hand side of the bike and the
electric cables are on the right.
If the bike does not have disk brakes,
•
the disk rotor can optionally be
removed from the hub. Removing the
disc will expose the inside workings of
the hub via the bolt- holes. The holes
need to be filled with the bolts and
small washers.
Check if the axle can be slid inside the slot in your fork. If there is difficulty, then a small
•
amount of filing may be necessary.
The hub motor axles are ground flat to 10mm on 2 edges. Ideally, your bicycle
o
dropout slots will also be 10mm wide and the motor will slide into place.
If your axle does not slide into the dropouts, some minor modification is required
o
by using a file to a) enlarge the dropout slot and/or b) file down the axle flats so
the axle slides snuggly into the dropout
Note: When filing is required, only enlarge enough for a snug fit. Avoid over
o
filing.
