To summarise the front motor assembly:  Install tyre and tube  Install disk brake rotor (if required)  Check washer positions are similar on both sides  Attempt to insert the motor into the drop outs.  If the motor does not fit initially check what it is fouling on ( disk brake, washer position or frame)  If the motor is fouling because of the washer position. Adjust washers positions to create more/less space to fit the motor. (if required)  If the mo ...

10 Now that the bicycle has been prepared. The motor can be mounted on the bicycle. ASSEMBLY—FRONT MOTOR First remove the motor from its packaging if you have not done this already. It is at this point that you can remount the tyre and tube, just make sure you get the direction right. This is generally marked on the side of tyre tube. The motor has a cable coming out of the right side which may help you get the correct direction. If you have removed a disk brake in the previous section you should remount it on the motor now.

25 What about reducing the voltage that you charge the batteries? There are lots of studies and evidence about increasing the cycle life of the battery cells by reducing the maximum voltage that you charge the battery to. It is said that you can double the amount of cycle life by decreasing the charge voltage of each cell by 0.1V. For a normal 36V battery that means the charge voltage would reduce from 42V to 41V. This will decrease your maximum capacity by approximately 14%, which in turn will decrease range. This can be difficult to achieve with the cu ...
