6.6.5 Mounting the new fender
To mount the new fender, follow these steps:
1. Refit all components in reverse order to the new fender.
2. Lead the cable through the built-in channel and fit the clips to hold the cable in place (rounded side directed to
the cable). Be sure not to damage the cable.

3. Mount the new fender to the rack and the bicycle’s frame.
Important notes.
• Be sure not to trap the light cable between frame and fender.
• Be sure to apply the correct size bolts and washers.
• Be sure to apply some Loctite 243 to all threaded fasteners.
4. Lead the light cable to the drive unit.
5. Reconnect the cut wires correctly (refer to par.
4.2.2). Use Y-connectors or solder the wiring and insulate the
wiring with heat shrink.
6. Connect the light connector to the drive unit.
7. Refit all covers to the drive unit.
8. Refit the cranks and the wheel.
When finished, check the rear lighting for correct operation.
6.7 Rack mounting
The top side of the rack is mounted to the rear fender, which acts as an integrated rack stay.
Below, the rack is mounted to the drop-outs. Because the drop-outs can slide to adjust the chain tension, the
position of the rack and fender changes with the same distance (max. 20mm).
Between frame and fender, a spacer is applied. The lower spacer (near motor mount) can vary in thickness,
depending on the position of the drop-out/rack/fender mount. The default thickness of the lower spacer is 10mm,
but a 5mm spacer is available as well when necessary (or can even left away).
