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.
o The hub motor axles are ground flat to 10mm on 2 edges. Ideally, your bicycle
dropout slots will also be 10mm wide and the motor will slide into place.
o
If your axle does not slide into the dropouts, some minor modification is required
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
o Note: When filing is required, only enlarge enough for a snug fit. Avoid over
filing.
