as said clean the BB threads both sides .
and be careful of sharp burrs that can be there; they can easily cut if you aren't, and dirty greasy cuts aren't nice.

I have ordered my motor ect from Yosepower I took the rear wheel out and managed to get the gear cluster off but then loads of small bairings fell out ouch how the heck do you get them back in? Or will I need a different 6 speed?
That looks like a 6-speed freewheel. Instead of unscrewing the complete unit you have removed the lock ring and inadvertently disassembled it - hence the ball bearings falling out. The part that is still on the wheel needs removing anticlockwise. There is a video here about removing freewheels:-


Your problem will be getting a grip on the remaining part, which might be very tight. I would suggest a Stilson wrench and a piece of tube, or if you have a vise, grip it in the jaws and turn the wheel. Either way it is easier if the tyre is still on the wheel.
I wouldn't try reusing that freewheel now, so you will need a new one - some listed here:-


Make sure you order a freewheel kit from Yose - not a cassette kit.
The Yose kit comes with a Shimano compatible freewheel tool.

Thankyou that's good advise I see where I went wrong, I do have a good vise so will remove it as you said many thanks.

This is what I received today but something I'm sure is missing the part that holds the battery onto the frame is not here? They have sent me a bag I take it for the old type controller but no controller as far as I can see.
The base is there because it has the controller in it and I can see the controller's wires sticking out. Also you can see it poking out at the bottom end of the battery. Unlock it and remove the base from the battery!

Got my yose equipment today managed to get most of it fitted but need 2 rivnuts for my battery holder, as only one lines up I think there standerd bottle size would they be about 4mm, I don't suppose halfords would have them and our local bike shop is useless, apart from that I'm well pleased with what I received no wires connected yet just need to secure the battery.
