5. Maintenance

After the first two to three weeks of use, or 300 km, have your dealer check the spokes in the rear
wheel. The motor is of the 'brushless' type and requires no maintenance.
Check the connections of the system every two to three months. Make sure that no dirt or moisture
can get into the 'docking station' (connector) when the battery pack is not on the bike. If you notice
anything like this, clean with a smooth, dry brush.

5.1 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.

5.2 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. M ake sure that the system is switched 'Off'.
2. C hange to the highest gear.
3. Remove the battery pack from its docking station.
4. U nplug the connectors of the motor at the left-hand side
of the hub. Make sure that both cables are unplugged
(see photo).
5. D isconnect the rear brake:
-V-brakes, Magura brakes: release the rear brake.
- R oller Brakes: unhook the cable and housing stop from
the brake. Undo the reaction arm bolt.
6. Loosen 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. M ake sure that the system is switched 'Off'.
2. R ollerbrake bikes: make sure that the distance piece that
centers the roller brake onto the hub is correctly in place.
3. M ake sure that the flat portion on the left-hand side of
the axle aligns with the left-hand side dropout.
4. M ake 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.
5. T ighten 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.
