Carefully pull the brake line out of the frame.
The brake line of the rear brake should measure 1470 mm when installed on the
smart ebike. As it is necessary to cut the brake line in order to route it inside
the frame, it is delivered with surplus length. Measure the length of the brake
line in its original condition and make a note of how much it will have to be
shortened by after routing so as to have a total length of 1470 mm.
N. Removing the dropouts
Loosen the bolts at the dropouts on both sides of the ebike using a size 6 Allen
wrench (2 bolts on the right, 3 bolts on the left) and remove the dropouts.
O. Removing the front wheel
The axle on the front wheel of the smart ebike is fitted with a quick-release
system for rapid assembly and disassembly. The quick-release clamp basically
consists of two elements:
The hand lever on one side. This uses a cam to convert the closing action
into a clamping force.
The nut on the opposite side. This is used to adjust the preload.
To open the connection, the hand lever is moved away from the wheel and then
the nut on the opposite side is unfastened counterclockwise. To close, the
preload is adjusted with the nut and the connection is clamped by flipping the
hand lever through 180°. The hand lever is moved from the OPEN position to the
closed position. The lettering CLOSE should now be readable. The preload
should start to act when the hand lever is in line with the hub axle. A adequate
preload is obtained when it is so difficult to close the quick-release clamp that
you need to make a fist in order to flip the clamping lever.
A restrainer on the fork of the smart ebike prevents the front wheel from falling out accidentally when the quick-
release lever is opened. To remove the wheel, also slacken the nut on the opposite side from the quick-release lever.
