Adjusting the quick release mechanism

The wheel hub is clamped in place by the force of the quick

release cam pushing against one dropout and pulling the

tension adjusting nut against the other dropout.The amount

of clamping force is controlled by the tension adjusting nut.

Turning the tension adjusting nut clockwise while keeping the

cam lever from rotating increases clamping force. Turning the

nut counterclockwise while keeping the cam lever from

rotating reduces clamping force. Less than half a turn of the

tension adjusting nut can make the difference between safe

clamping force and unsafe clamping force.

Once the quick release is installed in the hub axle by the

manufacturer or the dealer, it never needs to be removed

unless the hub itself requires servicing. If the hub requires

servicing, consult your dealer.

Front Wheel Secondary Retention Devices

WARNING:

Secondary retention devices are not a substitute for correct

quick release adjustment. Failure to properly adjust the quick

release mechanism can cause the wheel to wobble or

disengage, which could cause you to loose control and fall,

resulting in serious injury or death.

Secondary retention devices fall into two basic categories:

• The clip-on type is an accessory part which the

manufacturer adds to the front wheel hub or front fork.

• The integral type is molded, cast or machined into the

outer faces of the front fork dropouts.

Your E-Bike™ has front forks which utilize an integral-type

secondary wheel retention device to keep the wheel from

disengaging if the quick release is incorrectly adjusted.

Secondary retention devices are not a substitute for correct

quick release adjustment.

WARNING:

Removing or disabling the secondary retention device is

extremely dangerous and may lead to serious injury or death.

It also may void the warranty.

Removing a Quick Release Front Wheel

1. Open up the brake pads as described below in this

chapter.

2. Rotate the wheel’s quick release lever from the locked or

CLOSED position to the OPEN position (Figure 12).

3. Loosen the tension adjusting nut about six full turns to

release the secondary retention device.

4. Lift the handlebar so the front wheel is off the ground.

5. Tap the top of the wheel with the palm of your hand to

knock the wheel out of the front forks.
