How to Replace the Front Motor

Tools

• 5 mm hex key
• 4 mm hex key
• 18 mm socket wrench
• Electrical tape
• String
• Pin tools
• Spoon tool (2)
• Scissors
• Gloves
• New front motor

Steps

1. Use the 5 mm hex key to unscrew the four screws under the seat. Once unscrewed, lift the seat up and hang it off to the side. Make sure to wear gloves around the electric components for safety reasons.
2. Cut the zip tie holding the wires together and unpack the contents.
3. Locate the front controller and unplug the motor wires in the motor hall. Take a photo of the motor hall and cables before disconnecting for reference.
4. Using the pin tool, remove the pins out of the motor hall one at a time.
5. After removing the pins, cover them with a plastic sheath.
6. Tie the wires together to the motor hall cables using a string. The string will help with routing the new motor wire later.
7. Bundle the wires together using electrical tape.
8. Cut the zip ties holding the motor wires along the frame and unwind the wire. Place the wire cover to the side for later.
9. Now, take the wire at the front and pull it out. If the string ever falls out, you can use the brake line to push the wires through.
10. Cut the excess string on the end that you tied to the cables, leaving enough to tie the new motor.
11. Remove the tape and string from the wires.
12. Use the 5 mm hex key to unscrew the brake caliper and let it hang off to the side.
13. Use the 18 mm socket wrench to unscrew the motor bolts. Be careful as the scooter's weight balance will change after removing the wheel. Be ready to catch the wheel once it's free.
14. Bring the front wheel to a workstation and remove the disc rotor using the 4 mm hex key.
15. Use a screwdriver to remove excess air from the inner tube to assist with the next steps. You can also spray the rim with water to further assist with removal.
16. Place your spoon tools along the same side and move them in the opposite direction until the tire emerges over the rim.
17. Be careful not to damage the air valve as the tire comes off.
18. Now it's time to place on your new motor. Deflate the inner tube even further before starting.
19. Line up the air valve with the rim and insert it. Use your spoon tool to assist the lift off the tire and the rim where needed. You may spray some water to make it easier to insert. Please ensure that you have a towel to wipe up excess liquid as the motors are susceptible to water damage.
20. Once one side of the tire is over the rim, use your palms and spoon tool to push in the remaining parts. You may massage the tire if it seems uneven on either side.
21. Fill the wheel with air to the recommended psi (between 45 and 50 psi) and install the rotor back on by tightening the six screws using the 4 mm hex key.
22. Before placing the wheel back on the scooter, ensure that the washers line up with the frame on both sides.
23. Push the motor into the frame and screw the motor bolts back in with the 18 mm socket wrench.
24. Ensure that the motor cables emerge from the correct side of the scooter so that you can wind it into the body. Get in front of the tire and see if it lines up with the rest of the scooter. Check for wobble to ensure that the tire is fully secured.
25. Tie the string from earlier to the new motor wires and then tape them. Pull the string at the other end while pushing the cable from the front until the whole cable emerges into the cavity.
26. Remove the tape and string, then ensure that the motor hall pins have the fins sticking up before installing them using the pin tool. Insert each pin one at a time into the motor hall and push them in until they click.
27. Connect the motor hall and the motor cables, matching the colors.
28. Test out the front motor. If it accelerates, organize the controller among the wires and close up the main cavity. Please make sure no wires are pinching.
29. Place the seat on top, line up the screw holes, and use the 5 mm hex key to screw in the seat until it's firm.
30. Wrap the wire cover over the cable starting at the motor and working your way towards the scooter body. Use zip ties to secure the wrap cable to the two slots from earlier.
31. Screw the front caliper back onto the frame using the 5 mm hex key.
32. If there are any scraping sounds coming from the front, try to realign your brakes and check if the disc rotor is bent. If there's a bent on the rotor, slowly turn the wheel until you see it with your own eyes. Then, gently bend the rotor back using your hands.
33. Finally, tighten the brake caliper and rotor and place the nut covers back on.
