For the Rack battery, please remove the existing one and replace it with the one included in the kit.
After the Tube or Rackmount is installed, slide the battery in place and lock it.

How to install the Brake sensor?

Install the Break sensor. Please check that the condition of the brake cable is in good condition and that the threads are straight.
The sensor can be installed near the break or the handle. Please note that the sensor arrow needs to point in the direction where the handle is.

Important notes
  • If your Original tire's width was in the 1.5-2.125 Inch range. You should have no problems installing the Conversion Wheel.
  • Make sure that the Washers are installed in the correct order.
  • The lining for the Wheel is Pre-Installed, so you only need to put on the inner tube and tire.
  • Install the Wheels to roll in the same direction as the Brake Disc. Finally, check that the Wheel spins freely without touching the Frame or the Brakes causing extra friction.
