I think I read someplace Lectric were going to make a video of fixing a rear flat tire. This should be interesting. You have to know they are reading this. If they have sent out thousands of bikes with a hub that does not fit in the frame. That could be a problem!It is a big problem as I see it now with trying to get the wheel back on in my garage with tools galore. It took a rubber mallet with some good whacks to get it off. It will not just pull off. I still have not found a tool or combination that will even get the wheel back on. I noticed KevCentral mentioned this in his video when he change the gears, and he wasn't kidding. Once figured out, what is going to work for a trail repair?
In an emergency an old trick is to pop one side of the bead off and stuff the tire with grass so it will hold its shape. Pop the bead back on and you should be able to push it home. It might work.The fat tires when deflated hits the inside of the frame just like having the brakes on. I have black marks on the inside of the frame just pushing to the other side the garage. Finally picked it up and rolled it on the front tire.
We do not know what the frame is made off. Some aluminium bends fine. Some falls apart. I'm guessing this frame was made from old aluminium cansSo about the stress to the frame question. How big of a deal do you guys suppose that is?
Snokid comes through again. First with battery now this. Its so simple it's genius!back in the bmx bike days I did this it worked.
I'd do your shirt first, then ask for hersYea
Yeah sounds good. Or maybe i could stuff tire with the girlfriends shirt?
Here is a copy and paste post from FB from a person that had the same problem. He is saying the same thing you are.
The bike's rear dropout spacing is 175MM. The rear hub motor, which I'm assuming is a Bafang, has different sizes of dropout spacing to accommodate frame styles, tire sizes, etc. 175mm is one of the sizes Bafang makes available to e bike builders. The problem I think happened is that a hub motor with a 190mm spacing was used. Don't know why this wasn't reported during assembly.
I tried all of my weight on it this morning, it will not budge. Between both of you, you two have hit the problem on the head.
thanks.There is so much to learn about these e-bike things. For me that is half the funit looks like you have the outer washer in the wrong order. I think it goes on after seating the axle.

Thanks for the link. That is a copied photo, not mine. I took pictures of both sides with my phone and "trying" to put it back together they way it came apart. If it makes no difference which side the slotted washer is on, then it would fit. Factory had it on the inside. I have another bike I can double check with.it looks like you have the outer washer in the wrong order. I think it goes on after seating the axle.

Thank you so much for your help, it is greatly appreciated. I just double and triple checked my phone photos and the torque washer is on the inside. I also took a photo of the axle as I popped it out the dropout showing the location of each washer. Interesting that the torque washer can be installed on either side as they showed in your link. You can see in this photo the order from the factory.it looks like you have the outer washer in the wrong order. I think it goes on after seating the axle.
