This video will show you how to attach the rear wheel on your VanMoof S3 (it can also be used for the VanMoof X3):

1. Prepare your tools

• You will need the anti-theft wrench and nut tool from your VanMoof toolbox. 
• You will also need a 2.5 and 4mm Allen key.
  

2. Before you attach the wheel, make sure it’s the right way round. The E-shifter should be on the drive side.

• Lower the wheel then attach the chain by lifting it over the sprocket. 
• Then lower the wheel into the rear fork with the E-shifter facing upwards. 
• Rotate the E-shifter into position. The axle should sit all the way in the dropout and the brake disc should be aligned with the brake caliper pads.
  

3. Secure the wheel

• Align the E-shifter with the hole in the frame.
• Place a non-turn washer, then an anti-theft nut on each side of the wheel.
• Firmly tighten the nut on the brake side first, using the anti-theft wrench and nut tool. Then do the same on drive side.
  
• Check both sides of the rear dropout to see if the installation is correct. The anti-theft nut should sit in the center of the dropout.

4. Connect the E-shifter

• Secure the E-shifter in place using 4mm Allen key.
• Gently connect the E-shifter cable. 
• Then tuck it into the frame as far as possible to take away the slack. Then re-insert the E-shifter cap.

5. Attach the chain tensioner

• Push the chain tensioner down so the holes are aligned, then secure it in place using a 4mm Allen key.
• Slide the upper chain guard over the chain. 
• Secure in place using 2.5mm Allen key. S3 riders should use the top hole, X3 riders should use the next hole down.
  

6. Test the installation

• Press the power button to wake up the bike. 
• Make sure the bike is set to one of the power assist levels.
• Spin the front wheel, then turn the pedal by hand. 
• The front wheel motor will engage and the wheel will continue to spin. 
• You should hear the E-shifter changing gears as the speed increases.
  

Now you’re ready to ride
