Step 3 - Secure the fishing line |
Use masking tape to secure the fishing line to the battery connector end (the longest cable) at the cable opening of the top tube. (The fishing line will be used to pass the new battery cable through the down tube.) |
Step 4 - Flip your bike upside down |
Carefully flip the Ebike over and prop the handlebar grips on plastic foam. |
Step 5 - Remove the bottom cover |
5a. Remove the three Bottom Cover mounting bolts with an M3 Allen key. Set the bolts aside. |
5b. Gently remove the bottom cover to avoid unplugging the connector on the back. |
