Quick-release wheels

DANGER
Front wheel: The quick-release lever must be
wrong
positioned on the opposite side to the brake disc
(where fitted). If the quick-release lever is on
the same side as the brake disc, there is a risk
that they can clash and lock the front wheel (see
diagram), which can cause a serious accident.
Quick-release lever and
brake disk collide
All quick-release systems must be correctly tightened before you set off.
Otherwise the components can loosen – if that happens while riding you
could fall off, resulting in serious injuries.

Removing the front wheel

1. Switch off the pedelec.
2. Open the axle lever by folding it by
180˚. You will now usually be able to
see the word 'OPEN' on the inside of
the lever.
3. Undo the adjustment nut by turning it
slightly anticlockwise.
If your bike is fitted with rim brakes it is sensible to release
them before you remove the front wheel. Otherwise you may
not be able to remove the front wheel.
4. Remove the front wheel.
