AA. Installing the front wheel
When closed, the quick-release lever must be at right angles to the axle so that the self-locking effect of the cam
functions correctly. Incorrectly closed quick-release clamps can open while cycling.
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.
Remove the transport lock from the brake caliper.
Install the wheel in the fork. Make sure that the axle is seated all the way in the
dropouts of the fork.
Close the quick-release clamp. Screw the nut onto the axle loosely at first, and then
flip over the clamping lever.
BB. Installing the dropouts
Fasten the dropouts on both sides of the ebike and loosely tighten the bolts
using a size 6 Allen wrench (2 bolts on the right, 3 bolts on the left) so that the
dropouts can still be moved.
