[tone of hillingdon]

Hi
I'm 81. Just got second hand Elife Tourer, had couple of punctures. So fitting puncture-proof tyres.
How do I disconnect the electrics from the front wheel? Please!
cheers

There should be a connector within 6 - 8 inches of the hub motor axle often cable tied to the front RH fork, it might be tight but will pull a part.

Hi
Its this connection (pictured) right to the hub. Does that just cover the wheel nut? Or will i bust something by pulling it off?

No that's not it, that is a just a wheel nut dust /moisture cover.

Usaully one follow thta motor cable unitl it comes to the connector, it may be a case yours is at the controller box. Most hub motor bikes have the connector 6 - 8 inches along fromt he wheel then another longer cable that then goes to the controller box.

Thanks for your responses - I have spotted the connector you initially referred to.
Silly me thought that I might damage cable by removing the dust/moisture cover.
I do appreciate your help!

Be careful refitting the connector, both parts have an embossed arrow on them.
Align the arrows opposite each other and firmly push them together with no twisting, the (male) motor side connector also has an embossed stop line so the this must be up against the female connector end.
