The brake lever is attached to the brake
cable and a motor cut off that cuts
the power to the motor when the brake
lever is pulled. To you replace the
brake lever, you will need to disconnect
the brake cable and motor cut off wire,
and remove the brake lever from the
handlebar.
Disconnect the brake
cable
1. Loosen the brake cable from the
brake. You do not need to pull the
brake cable out of the brake or out
of the cable sheath.
2. Position the barrel connector
at the brake lever end of the brake
cable so that the slot in the connector,
the lock nut, and the brake lever
are aligned. Pull the brake cable
out of the barrel connector and through
the slot.
3. The end of the cable has a cylinder
that fits in the lever itself. Remove
the cable end from the lever.
Disconnect the brake
lever from the handlebar
1. Remove the hand grip from the
handlebar.
3. Use a hex wrench to loosen the
brake lever and slide it off the handlebar.
Disconnect the motor
cut off wire from the PWM controller
1. Raise or remove the seat to allow
access to the battery compartment.
2. Remove the two bolts at the bottom
of the battery tray.
3. To remove the battery cover, slide
the cover to the rear and lift.
4. Between the batteries and the
seat post tube is the PWM controller.
It is encased in an aluminum box that
is mounted to the plate that separates
it from the batteries. Locate the
connector with red and black wires.
Disconnect this plug.
5. Cut the connector off of the brake
wire (be careful not to cut the connector
off the wire coming from the PWM controller)
and feed the wire through the rubber
grommet at the bottom of the battery
tray.
6. Feed the wire through the rubber
grommet at the bottom of the motor
mount on the swing arm.
7. Feed the wire through the eyelets
on the frame.
Connect the new motor
cut off wire to the PWM controller
1. Before placing the connector on
the wire, feed the wire through the
eyelets in the frame, up through the
grommet of the mounting plate on the
swing arm, and up through the grommet
in the battery tray.
2. Put the new connector into the
connector on the PWM controller. Insert
the red and black wires into the new
connector opposite the wire of the
same color. Be sure that the wires
snap in place and do not come loose.
Then, replace the battery cover.
3. Slide the brake lever onto the
handlebar and tighten it with a hex
wretch.
4. Insert the brake cable into the
brake lever and slip the cable into
the groove and position the metal
end into the barrel connector.
5. Adjust the brake. See also "Adjusting the brake".
