Kit Installation
DIY Installation:
- Remove the crank arms from the bike.
- Separate the bottom bracket from the bottom bracket shell.
- Disconnect the front derailleur if one is present. The chain will need removing to do this.
- Slide the motor into the bottom bracket, and tighten with included hardware.
- Attach the speed sensor onto the rear of the frame, and the magnet onto a spoke.
- Mount the controls onto the handlebars, including display and brake levers/sensors.
- Install the battery mount onto the frame (e.g. down tube). Secure battery mount and motor XT60 connectors together.
- Connect all necessary cables and manage the cable routing appropriately. If there is excess cable, do not cut it to shorten the length, be creative and find a suitable place to hide the wiring.
- Install the chainring onto the motor and refit the chain. If the chain didn’t previously have a quick link, it may be worthwhile installing one of those now.
- Finally fix the crank arms onto the square tapered spindle, and attach the pedals onto the crank arms.
