EBOX PDI
Please ensure you complete a full PDI of your EBOX after initial assembly
to thoroughly check the safety of all components.
1. Starting at the rear of the bike, work your way to the front on both
sides checking that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight. Don’t assume
that because it is new from the factory that everything will be tight.
A drop of thread compound (non-permanent type) is advised on the
threads of the brake calliper bolts, front sprocket drive bolt and motor
mounting bolts.
Check the following points on your EBOX to ensure that they are tight.
(This is not an extensive list and there may be others).
• Rear wheel axle nut
• Rear wheel spokes
• Chain adjuster lock nut
• Rear shock bolt and nut at the top and bottom of the shock
• Swing arm pivot bolt/ nut
• Rear brake caliper bolts
• Rear brake disc bolts
• Rear sprocket bolts
• Chainguard bolts and chain roller bolt
• Rear subframe bolts (where applicable)
• Motor mounting bolts/ nuts
• Front drive sprocket bolt
• Footrest bracket bolts (where applicable)
• Rear brake pedal bolt
• Side stand bolt/ nut
• Handlebar bolts
• Tighten head set bearing making sure to eliminate all freeplay
• Front fork pinch bolts
• Front mudguard bolts
• Steering head bolt
• Front wheel axle nut
• Front wheel spokes
• Front wheel axle clamp bolts (where tted)
• Front brake caliper bolts
• Front brake disc bolts
2. Checking the settings
2.1 Chain tension
With the bike’s rear wheel o the ground rotate the wheel and check the
run of the chain. The chain should run straight between both sprockets
with no major deviation left or right. Check the chain freeplay with a ruler.
It should have about 15 mm of slack up and down from the mid-position
(that’s a total of 30mm slack). Adjust if necessary.
2.2 Wheels
Check all spokes on the wheels are correctly tightened and the wheels
are true. Working from the valve round all spokes toghtening spokes 1/4
turn at a time (anti-clockwise) if needed .
Check the tyre pressures, setting them to 26psi. For o road use the
pressure can be anywhere between 20-30psi according to personal
preference.
2.3 Brakes
Check that both brakes are capable of locking the wheels when fully
applied and that they free o fully when released.
2.4 Suspension
While standing alongside the bike push on the handlebars to compress
the forks, checking to see if they run smoothly without any binding.
Compress the rear suspension several times. It should move up and
down freely without binding.
