Please
read all of the
instructions before starting your installation.This could save you many
trips to the hardware store.
The
installation instructions for
all models are
much the same.
An experienced installer can do the job in 4 hours.It doesn't mater if
it takes you 4 hours or 4 days.The important thing is to do the
installation correctly and you will get 1000's of kilometers from your
new EziRide Cycles motor.
You will need some basic tools,band aides,cable ties and you may want
to fit an
in line fuel filter which are available from motor cycle and lawn mower
shops.
Please be
careful not
to over tighten the nuts and bolts.They can be broken if forced.
You are working on a bicycle not a truck. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FITTING
THE REAR
SPROCKET
Cut the rubber isolator ring
between the holes in order to fit
inside the spokes and around the axle.
Use either scissors or a knife.
Fit
the isolator rings as shown.
Install the steel retainer plates and sprocket as shown.
The sprocket can be installed either side up if there is a problem
aligning the chain.
But firstly try it with the convex side up as shown and insert the
bolts.
Insert
and install the 9 bolts and nuts.
This
can be a bit of a juggling act and is
probably the most difficult part of the installation.
Tighten
the nuts in a star fashion to make sure
the tension is equal on all sides.
An electric screw driver makes this job a bit easier.
Make
sure the sprocket is centred by giving the
wheel a spin.
MOUNTING
THE
MOTOR
You
might want to put some tape on the bike frame
to stop the frame from getting scratched during the motor installation.
If the front bicycle tube is too large as shown below, the motor can be
made to fit by enlarging the hole using a file or dremel.
Alternatively
you can use a dremel tool if you
happen to have one.
Put a rag in the exhaust outlet to stop bits of metal getting in.
The
motor should fit as shown below.
There
are many other ways of fitting the motors to
over sized frames available on http://motoredbikes.com/
EziRide Cycles have brackets for over sized frames for sale and are on
display in the accessories
section on
our web page.
Fit
the front and rear mounting bracket as shown
below.
Be careful not to over tighten the nuts.They can be broken if forced.
Some customers like to put a bit of rubber between the motor mounts and
the frame to reduce vibrations but is generally not needed with
the 48cc and 55cc models.
The
photo below shows a nice neat fit.
FITTING THE
CHAIN
Remove
the left hand sprocket cover.
Remove
the spark plug
Feed
the chain on using a spanner.
Select
the chain length.
Cut
the chain to length. Better
too long than
too short.You can always take more links out later on.
The easiest way to do this is with a chain breaking tool but if you
don't have one you can use an angle grinder or a chisel.
Fit
the chain joining link.
Fit
the clip with the open end to the front.
Important
Check
the chain alignment.
Make sure that the chain is straight and running smoothly.
