4.1 Cleaning

When cleaning the bike, use a sponge and/or a soft brush. For the battery pack case, a damp cloth
suffices. Use little water. Keep water away from the electrical connections.
NOTICE. Do not use a jet-wash. The powerful water-jet may damage the electronics.

4.2 Removal and refitting of wheels for bikes with a rear wheel motor

Removal and refitting of the rear wheel is best left to your dealer. If you are forced to do it yourself,
follow the instructions.
• Removal of the rear wheel
1. Make sure that the system is switched 'Off'.
2. Change to the highest gear.
3. Remove the battery pack from its docking station.
4. Unplug the connectors of the motor at the left-hand side
of the hub. Make sure that both cables are unplugged
(see photo).
5. Disconnect the rear brake:
6. L oosen and remove the axle nuts.
7. Slide the wheel forward in the dropouts until the wheel can be removed.
8. Remove the chain from the sprocket and remove the wheel.
• Refitting the rear wheel
1. Make sure that the system is switched 'Off'.
2. Make sure that the flat portion on the left-hand side of the
axle aligns with the left-hand side dropout.
3. Make sure the groove in the rear axle is facing up (12 o'clock
position). Put the chain on the smallest rear sprocket and
slide the rear wheel into the dropouts. Make sure that the
axle moves all the way back into the dropouts.
4. Tighten the rear wheel nuts equally and evenly to a torque
of 40 Nm. Otherwise the system might not work properly. If you do not have access to a torque
wrench, you can use a normal wrench, but have your dealer checked the tightening torque of the
nuts at the earliest opportunity.
5. Reconnect the rear brake.
6. Reconnect the motor connectors.
7. Activate the system.
8. Test ride to make sure that the system works.
9. Check if the rear brake works.
WARNING. Switch the system Off before you disconnect or connect the connectors of the motor.
You may experience strong sparking and possibly electric shock if you fail to do so.
