As I worked through the process of trying to remove and then reinstall the wheel as part of diagnosing a break issue, I had so many questions. Every one of those questions was answered by re-watching this video again. God bless you. This video is a life-saver :)
Seriously best of luck to everyone attempting to remove their rear wheel from their hub drive ebike. Spent a solid 2-3 hours watching videos on how to go about doing it after i caught an unsuspecting flat otw home on my totguard mtb eibke. Changing a flat on a regular bmx bike for years had me spoiled once i realized on an ebike its abit different, and imo more troublesome. My bike is from a different brand but thankfully in this video he actually showed the process of removing the wheel and it was similar enough to where itll help others in a similar fashion. This video is one of the very few that actually shows the process from start to finish. Seriously though, it was such a pain to actually get the wheel off the first time. Then me being paranoid, i completely didnt pay attention to how the wheel actually came off as i spent an hour tugging away at the wheel due to it being somewhat jammed in place even after taking off all screws and whatnot. Basically panicked once i realized all the loops and whatnot id have to go through to fit the wheel back in once i changed the tube... lol. Then spent another 20 minutes figuring out the best way to fit the wires and wheel through the chain and back in place where it "makes sense", since i failed miserably getting to this part. Fortunately i finally figured it out and after 2 hours, managed to remove the rear wheel while unplugging the electronics, change the flat ( which took like a minute...just my luck), reinstall rear wheel, while readjusting my breaks and stem all in one piece. I finally get it now when people preach about working on your own bike when trouble arises. You really do gain a sort of bond with it, and begin to truly understand how and why things work the way they do and will be able to troubleshoot in the future when things pop up. So despite it being a pain that i caught a flat on my new ebike recently, im thankful it allowed me to finally learn how to repair it myself since it honestly wasnt so bad in hindsight. Now i feel much better knowing i can troubleshoot my bike without much concern or needing to stop by my local shop everytime a simple issue pops up. With ebikes, i was apparently overthinking things since in essence, they're still regular bikes at the end of the day.
Glad to hear you got it sorted out. 👍 There's a reason it's the Dreaded Rear Wheel. This is also why bike shops will charge as much as $50 or more, to fix a flat on one of these, plus parts. That's if they are willing to help at all. My goal is to help show as many repairs as I can so that folks at least have some guidance when it comes to their ebike.
Although I have a bike stand, I use it to adjust the shifting and adjust the break pads. When I need to remove the front or rear tire, I find it much easier to flip the bike upside.
@@bobthebuilder9416 lol it honestly was at the time when I first did it. But fortunately like with most things, once you do it the first time, it becomes easier each time. But yes, definitely was a nightmare the first time I did it. Thought I broke the dang bike, before finally calming down and figuring it all out step by step. In the end, it’s much easier than it looks. But it’s one of those things where you won’t know how easy it is, until you go through it yourself, atleast once.
I put FlatOut in my tires, but I know I'm going to need to do this sooner or later. Thank you so much for this amazingly clear tutorial - watching the brake adjustment one next!
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve always struggled to learn bicycle maintenance, but really needed to change my tires, and was so intimidated. I’m so glad there was such a detailed video going over it
This video was a life saver! Got my first flat on my XP 2.0, and of course it was the rear tire. Staring at all the wires, chains, spacers and bolts, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed... But after this step by step simple to understand video, I was able to do it all in under 20 min. Thanks again for making these!!
We have a lot of Mesquite with big thorns here in Tucson so I had endless flats a couple on the front & more on the rear tire. Finally a complete blowout of the rear tube. I bought an $83 foam liner & tube to match, new rim & motor assembly from LECTRIC. I made a DIY liner with an old tire (trimmed down) & trimmed down old tube. It's probably not as good as the foam liner but the front wheel is not so much trouble to take off & put on. With slime this arrangement should do for front & rear. I'm watching the video how to R & R the rear tire. Seems like it should be just as good to put the bike upside down (on a pillow for the handlebars & a block under the rear carrier?
Plan on buying an e-bike in the very near future. My first investment in accessories is going to be a repair stand like you use. I have several standard regular bikes in my garage that I have to stand upside down on their seats to remove wheels. The repair stand looks critical in making repairs easier. Thanks for the video.
Excellent guide, good enough to be used by Lectric for reference! I put re-usable zip ties on my RadMini, and got rid of the bash guard as well, so it's not so bad. When you find the wheel jammed or hard to remove, it's usually because the position of the axle rotated a bit due to motor torque, and the axle got wedged. Pre-loading the axle rotation by tightening the left nut first usually eliminates that, but in some situations I'll use a small adjustable wrench to pre-load it (opposite direction of wheel rotation). Props to Lectric for using double safety/torque plates, and thanks for the video!
I couldn't figure out how to loosen the axel. I banged on it with a hammer like i would on a regular bike and it did not work. Finally i used a monkey wrench to grip the axle and turn it in the opposite direction to jog it loose. To clarify, if it looks jammed in one direction, I would turn it in the other and it popped out. I would add to be careful not to bend it too far, just enough to loosen it.
I got flat rear tire by a staple last week and my local pro shop don’t patch it. Replace inner tube plus labor $45. Asked to add Slime for extra, he said waste of money. Exactly a week later I got flat again. This time I learned and patch myself. Will add slime or flat out soon. Thanks for this video. I’ll have to replace both tires soon with road tires. Hope I can do it on my own. Thanks for this helpful video.
This video really demystified this whole process for me. I think the biggest hurdle for me now is not owning a bike repair stand. I'm jusy a little leary of spending $250 on a repair stand, but I can tell it's worth the price. I'll probably buy it in a few months.
Thanks for a great video, I put my XP upside down and it was a breeze. Although the chain got tangled up on me. When you flip the bike over, put the rack on a firm chair.
The rear wheel removal seems more difficult than it actually is. I Patched my Lectric 2.0 rear wheel with no issues except I didn’t have a 19mm wrench. Lol thought I could use a socket lol. Great video.
Thanks for another awesome tutorial! Chris. When you get a chance, can you make a video about how to straighten the handlebar? When I straightened the front wheel, my left side handlebar seems to be farther away from then my right side handlebar. My XP 2.0 arrived in such a condition. TIA.
Thanks, check out this video - ruclips.net/video/G-dPjys6N3Y/видео.html There is a 6mm bolt when you fold the handlebars that you need to loosen to straighten them out 👍
@@pretor706 I prefer Tannus instead of using Slime or Flat out. Nothing will stop every flat but both of these options will stop small sharp objects. However, if run over something big enough to puncture through the Tannus it will also be too big for Flat Out or Slime to stop. With the Tannus you can replace the tube and keep using the same Tannus Inserts, with Slime or Flat Out you will have a big mess and have to buy more Slime or Flat Out for your new tube. Tannus Armour can also be transferred from tire to tire as you wear out your tires. Here is my Tannus install video for Lectric - ruclips.net/video/hHIjGFf9kRs/видео.html (sorry, it was my first video and not very good) I'll update it soon. Here is my install for the Rad Expand 5 - ruclips.net/video/r2oFP3yMJT8/видео.html I also have Tannus in my Haibike 👍👍
Thanks for this. It was very helpful. I can echo what someone else said. If you don't have a stand, turn the bike upside down to reinsert the wheel. Obviously remove mirrors and move the display out the way etc first. Before I did that I was struggling with it balanced on a box. That would have worked, awkwardly, except for the fact that you really need the pedals to rotate freely otherwise the chain tightens which prevents you from pulling the wheel up tightly which gets very frustrating. Once I turned it upside down it literally fell into place quite easily. I had to replace my wheel because the speedometer stopped working. Apparently it's the sensors inside the hub which you can't easily replace separately. The new wheel came with new nuts and washers. I noticed that only one of the new safety washes has the hole with the flat sides. The other has a simple round hole so it doesn't lock in position on the axle. I don't think it matters once it's all screwed up tight but I don't know if that was intentional or a manufacturing error.
Just wondering if it would be easier to turn the bike upside down and let gravity to seat the wheel back into the slot especially when you work by yourself and without a bike stand?
Hi Eric, you can do that. It's just harder to work on your bike upside down. Fine for changing a flat, but you plan to start doing any mechanic work, I'd invest in a repair stand. I will be doing a video with some tips for flipping your bike upside down soon, still working on it 👍
Thank you so much. Detailed video, was able to follow step by step, still waiting for new tube, patch on the first did not hold, I think I need training how to put patches on, nevertheless tube is not much and since more work is needed on back tire better just to replace tube..
Will need to watch. On my 3rd rear flat tire in just over 300 miles. City street junk. I'd really like to put a better tire on the rear wheel and/or tire liner. Recommendations?
Hello, great video! If I don't have this bike repair stand, can this be done by putting the bike upside down while putting the handles on blocks to protect the screen ? Thanks again!
installing the rear wheel is much easier if you flip the bike. Gravity is working against him, that why it gave him such a hard time. With a flipped bike gravity works for you. Rotate the screen out of the way so it won't touch the ground.
Flip the bike upside-down. It's actually easier than using a stand. Just don't forget to put something under the seat and handlebar so that they won't get scratched up.
Thanks so much!!! I have the 3.0 and this translates to it perfectly nonetheless, next time im hundred 100% spending the money on a stand lmao cause i spent an hour doing it without one just now and I will never do that **** again lmao. For anyone doing the 3.0 the cable is a bit shorter for power making it much easier to pull free.
Chris, is the axle on the gear cassette side hollow and the motor wire go through from the inside of the motor to where it connects? The plastic cap has no function other than cover the nut?
I had removed the wheels and I try to put back and the wheels got hard resistance to spin..whats the cause? Is it the motor problem? Coz I try to change the planetary gear inside but everything looks good
what would cause a shimano shifter to not be able to go back down to one? First it wouldn't go back to 1 then it was 2 now 3 is the lowest gear i can put it in... ITs a brand-new bike is it a design flaw?
Someone removed the outer circlip from my ebike wheel. And it is bent and neither do I know exactly where it goes. Will it be ok to ride my bike without the circlip ?
I got mine from Amazon -- Park Tool Repair Stand -- amzn.to/3imtWoQ It works great for electric bikes and regular bikes, very stable and it folds down when not in use.
I always turn rear motor bikes upside down to make it much easier to install the motor. I also sometimes remove the disc brake adapter (caliper attached) to make it easier to install the wheel....I charge a premium to work on rear motor bikes...some shops won't work on them at all...PITA!
Thanks, excellent instructions, but you forgot one warning: When pulling the wheel out, be careful not to bend the derailer and break it off. That is what I just did. 😱
I couldn't figure out how to loosen the axel. I banged on it with a hammer like i would on a regular bike and it did not work.

Great tip Dao! Sometimes the axle can get jammed in the dropout and needs to be twisted a bit before the wheel can come out. Also when twisting it with a wrench, be mindful of the threads on the axle so you don't strip it 👍
I’m stumped. I’ve had my LECTRIC 2.0 step through since Dec 2021. I put 2500 miles on the original tires, and never once had a flat. Just ordered 2 new LECTRIC tires and tubes. I had a bike shop put them on, along with new brake pads. My brand new back tire has gone flat twice now and stranded me. It’s so strange because there was a pinhole sized leak in the 1st tube. I replaced the tube. Same day there’s a pinhole leak in the second tube. Filled it up with air, and the tube has slime in it. I put the bike in my shed and the tire was flat in less than a minute. We are stumped. We’ve examined the rim and tire. There’s nothing sharp in there, but the leak is in the same spot on both tubes. Has anyone ever experienced this? Could the tire be faulty? My front tire is fine.
Update to this post. Wrapped the rim with duct tape and haven’t had any issues. Apparently there was something pinhole size digging into the tube in the same place.
I have searched all along the electrical cable and it hasn't got a part where you unclip it, whenever I have a flat I have to leave the cable attached to the back wheel making it very awkward. Is there something I am missing because my back wheel needs removing to repair the motor hub cap. How do I remove the cable without any pin clips?
My two safety washers, that line up with the frame, one lines up and I can get that 4mm bolt in, but the other side will not line up... it's a few degrees off, and since the axle is straight-through, I can't get the one side's safety washer in... it was when I took the wheel off, but not sure why it's off now.... hmmmmm.....
So I am wondering. I've watched 2 previous videos, and the guys had no clue what their doing. I just got a 2.0 yesterday and the rear tire won't hold air. I I assume it's a pinch flat. Is that repairable or do I have to get a new tube for before I can ride this bike? I Thanks for your input and and anyone who knows. Oh, and mine is a 2.0 stepthrough, if that helps.
So my next thought is to use the Slime I have left from my last bike {KBO Breeze } that I sold last week to purchase this bike. Didn't expect to have a flat tire before I could even ride it. Let me just see Lectric is willing to make it right or pass the buck
So I just got a replacement tube from Lectric today (way to go Lectric) it only took 2 days. Amazingly, that was faster than Amazon (I ordered 2 tubes from Amazon due to arrive tomorrow) along with a steel valve stem wrench since the 2 plastic tools from Slime wouldn't work. (man, everything bolted on here is EXTREMELY tight) and even my crescent wrench wouldn't unbolt the axel, I had to borrow a 18mm wrench from my neighbor. But I think I got everything bolted back together. Going for a 1st time test drive and in a few
It's possible the axle is twisted in the dropout. I should have covered this but my axle wasn't twisted. I'll add a quick video soon showing how to fix it. Try to grip your axle with a crescent wrench on the flat sides of the axle and twist it free. It helps to look in the dropout and see which direction you need to twist it so that it will un-jam from the dropout.

You're welcome, David! Glad it helped 😃
This video was very helpful in putting in a new tube in the back tire. I also installed a tire liner to prevent future Flats.
Hate these washers 😩. Thank you for the video because wow I had so much trouble on replacing tire back on frame
It is challenging, no doubt
Thanks for the help! Don't think I could have done it without your video.
I was just worrying about doing that this morning! Thank you so much!
Just take your time, re-installing the rear wheel is kind of a pain

Thanks man; maybe some low key background music is all I would suggest, great video and much appreciated 💯
This is good idea for preventing bike theft ,
Take rear wheel wherever u go and to work ,
How does it take to take off the wheel , and put back on ?
Thanks so much!!! I have the 3.0 and this translates to it perfectly nonetheless, next time im hundred 100% spending the money on a stand lmao cause i spent an hour doing it without one just now and I will never do that **** again lmao.

I have a 3.0..got a rear flat.. thought I did good..motor runs bike woohoo..but I can't pedal..and it won't roll backwards..what I do wrong?
what would cause a shimano shifter to not be able to go back down to one? First it wouldn't go back to 1 then it was 2 now 3 is the lowest gear i can put it in... ITs a brand-new bike is it a design flaw?
Thank you : ) good job great detail have a nice day: )
Very useful instructions well done
Hello do you happen to know the nut size of the Lectric rear wheel? Trying to install a Burley hitch for the kid trailer.
It's an 18mm hex 👍
Someone removed the outer circlip from my ebike wheel. And it is bent and neither do I know exactly where it goes. Will it be ok to ride my bike without the circlip ?
Great video! Thank you 😊
Where did you get the bike stand?
I got mine from Amazon -- Park Tool Repair Stand -- amzn.to/3imtWoQ
It works great for electric bikes and regular bikes, very stable and it folds down when not in use.
Make a video to show how To replace your bike latch set On the bike frame.
I got the wheel back on but now my derailer wants to pop the chain off the smallest gear. I have no idea how to fix that now.
I always turn rear motor bikes upside down to make it much easier to install the motor. I also sometimes remove the disc brake adapter (caliper attached) to make it easier to install the wheel....I charge a premium to work on rear motor bikes...some shops won't work on them at all...PITA!
where buy this tire and how much it cost
where can I buy the back hub motor with tire
Thanks, excellent instructions, but you forgot one warning: When pulling the wheel out, be careful not to bend the derailer and break it off. That is what I just did. 😱
Bummer. Thanks for the extra tips!
excellent Guide. Thank you for explaining this. :)
Nice explanation! 👍
Seems if you used a ratchet strap through the wheel and up over the rack, it would help hold the wheel up while you adjust everything.
Good idea, that could work 👍
I couldn't figure out how to loosen the axel. I banged on it with a hammer like i would on a regular bike and it did not work. Finally i used a monkey wrench to grip the axle and turn it in the opposite direction to jog it loose. To clarify, if it looks jammed in one direction, I would turn it in the other and it popped out. I would add to be careful not to bend it too far, just enough to loosen it.
Great tip Dao! Sometimes the axle can get jammed in the dropout and needs to be twisted a bit before the wheel can come out.
Also when twisting it with a wrench, be mindful of the threads on the axle so you don't strip it 👍
I’m stumped. I’ve had my LECTRIC 2.0 step through since Dec 2021. I put 2500 miles on the original tires, and never once had a flat. Just ordered 2 new LECTRIC tires and tubes. I had a bike shop put them on, along with new brake pads. My brand new back tire has gone flat twice now and stranded me. It’s so strange because there was a pinhole sized leak in the 1st tube. I replaced the tube. Same day there’s a pinhole leak in the second tube. Filled it up with air, and the tube has slime in it. I put the bike in my shed and the tire was flat in less than a minute. We are stumped. We’ve examined the rim and tire. There’s nothing sharp in there, but the leak is in the same spot on both tubes. Has anyone ever experienced this? Could the tire be faulty? My front tire is fine.
Just got my step thru…back tire comes off the bead during turns..35 psi..left me high and dry twice☹️
Update to this post. Wrapped the rim with duct tape and haven’t had any issues. Apparently there was something pinhole size digging into the tube in the same place.
I’ve got 3500 mi on original tires.
I’ve had one flat, on rear. Stranding me once😅. Luck?
Rear tire is now treadless and I have to change it 😮.
Tire liners perhaps?
I have searched all along the electrical cable and it hasn't got a part where you unclip it, whenever I have a flat I have to leave the cable attached to the back wheel making it very awkward. Is there something I am missing because my back wheel needs removing to repair the motor hub cap. How do I remove the cable without any pin clips?
very cool, however, I took my rear fender off, it will be trick holding tire up
Great vid. THANK YOU so very much.
I think the cable where it goes into the hub on mine is damaged.....what the heck is that part called. Noticed my derailleur cage is AWOL.
Hi, you forgot the Ice cold "40" !!! Brand of your choice.🤣
My two safety washers, that line up with the frame, one lines up and I can get that 4mm bolt in, but the other side will not line up... it's a few degrees off, and since the axle is straight-through, I can't get the one side's safety washer in... it was when I took the wheel off, but not sure why it's off now.... hmmmmm.....
Flip the safety washer (Lectric calls it "torque arm"). Flat side faces in on one side, out on the other side.
Great thanks! 🌅😊
Well done...subscribed!
My Tenways bike doesn’t have that little clip for the wire making it a pain in arse
So I am wondering. I've watched 2 previous videos, and the guys had no clue what their doing. I just got a 2.0 yesterday and the rear tire won't hold air. I I assume it's a pinch flat. Is that repairable or do I have to get a new tube for before I can ride this bike? I Thanks for your input and and anyone who knows. Oh, and mine is a 2.0 stepthrough, if that helps.
Hi Darrel, you can check the tube for holes and if they can be patched and the tube holds air, you can ride on it.
@@PedalWithPower okay, so just say you have no idea
So my next thought is to use the Slime I have left from my last bike {KBO Breeze } that I sold last week to purchase this bike. Didn't expect to have a flat tire before I could even ride it. Let me just see Lectric is willing to make it right or pass the buck
So I just got a replacement tube from Lectric today (way to go Lectric) it only took 2 days. Amazingly, that was faster than Amazon (I ordered 2 tubes from Amazon due to arrive tomorrow) along with a steel valve stem wrench since the 2 plastic tools from Slime wouldn't work. (man, everything bolted on here is EXTREMELY tight) and even my crescent wrench wouldn't unbolt the axel, I had to borrow a 18mm wrench from my neighbor. But I think I got everything bolted back together. Going for a 1st time test drive and in a few
Nice work
Followed everything but my rear tire would not come out, i have a 2021 step thru 2.0. Why is this?
It's possible the axle is twisted in the dropout. I should have covered this but my axle wasn't twisted. I'll add a quick video soon showing how to fix it.
Try to grip your axle with a crescent wrench on the flat sides of the axle and twist it free. It helps to look in the dropout and see which direction you need to twist it so that it will un-jam from the dropout.
@@PedalWithPower Thank you, this worked wonders after a hard time with hammering it over and over for half an hour. Lifesaver, got a new subscriber
@@envikka 😃👍 Thank you, glad you got it sorted!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!
Thank you
The link for how to adjust rearbreaks is not in the description. 😂
I can do anything the bikes except the rear wheel I want to learn soon it's going to take a lot of patience 😂😢
Your wheel ist spinning right
Thanks bro
I'd probably just prefer to replace rhat zip tie with a velcro tie so that if i ever do this again, I can just reuse that velco tie.
I can’t get the damn tire back on 😡 the stupid chain thing is just forcing me out and I can’t push it any further to reach the slots HELP
Gracias

My front wheel squeals bad since new.
Nice
Yeah, my tire just won't come off.
