Is the battery on the BB+ removable for charging or does the whole bike need to be taken the power source?

If you get a puncture how easy is it to change tyres? Is this something that can be done quickly at the roadside as or does involve lots of dismantling/unscrewing/unwiring?

Thanks.

battery has lock and two keys.
You don't need the keys to ride the bike, only to unlock and remove the battery.
You can charge the bike in place or remove the battery and charge indoors.



Punctures:
The rear wheel has quick release. It's same as with normal bikes.
Repairing punctures at the front does not normally need removing the motor wheel.
But if you want to remove the front wheel, you have to unlink the torque arms, remove the two silver M10 bolts first.
The rest is the same with any other front motor wheel, remove the wheel nuts (with a 17mm spanner), the wheel will come off.

The supplied tyres are kevlar tyres, we can fit Schwalbe Marathon Plus if you want better puncture proofing.

For hub motor wheels if using a tube pay the money and buy a Gaadi tube or two so that you don't need to faff removing the wheel set up. Gaadi tube are not cheap but being double ended are an easier option to use.
SJS cycles online sometime sell them half price, I bough three recently for £7 each.
