  7. Cut the motor axle to the 18mm length from the baseplate.
  8. Make sure to cover motor, motor wholes and whole motor with something to prevent metal dust getting into the motor. Magnets easily attracts metal particles inside and can cause shortening.

  10. It is only useful when motor has open areas in the baseplate it minimize grease getting into the motor.
  11. Attach stainless steel plate to the motor
  12. Apply this step only if motor has keyway
  13. Apply retaining compound like (Loctite 648) to keyway and install in the keyway

  15. Use 3xM3 bolts to attach motor to the baseplate
  16. Don't forget to use Loctite on threads

  18. Tighten M2 grub screws on motor gear to secure motor gear on axle.
  19. Don't forget to use Loctite on grub screw thread

  21. Mount assembly to hanger
  22. Tighten grub screws to lock assembly in place.
  23. Make sure the assemblies are parallel to the wheel.

  25. Add brass washer to axle before mounting wheel hub.
  26. Attach wheel hub assembly to axle
  27. Baseplate should be parallel to the wheel gear assembly otherwise wheel gear will mesh on angle and will cause negative effects.

  29. Add wheel spacer on axle which helps to keep tension between bearings

  31. Attach wheel to the wheel gear assembly
  32. Motor gear and Wheel gear assembly should be always parallel to each in all wheel position. If gears not parallel and at angle it can cause negative effects and product more noise than necessary.
  33. Loosen up motor bolts so that motor gear would press wheel gear.
  34. Use sheet of paper to drive it through wheel gear and motor gear. Spin wheel to push paper through the gears
  35. After meshing is good tighten motor bolts

  37. Remove wheel from wheel gear assembly
  38. Put wheel gear into the cover and attach V-ring on the wheel gear.
  39. Use some grease on v-ring to make it easier to slide on the cover.
  40. It is good time to apply grease to the gears
  41. Use 7xM2 bolts to attach motor cover to baseplate

  45. Use same instructions for assembling another side

  47. Do a test spin on the bench to make sure everything is fine and sounds okay
  48. On the first test ride start by slowly accelerating and slowly braking to make sure everything is working fine.
  49. If there is some minor vibration happening at specific RPM it can be some misbalance in wheel/gears which should disappear after gears sit down in their place.
