Torq Crank Adjustment

[BLADERUNNER]

Hi Folks
i recently purchased a second hand Ezee Torq from Ebay.
On the whole i am delighted with the bike and it suits my needs well.
However i have a small amount of play in the crank bearings and was hoping that somebody could possibly give me some advice or instruction on how to adjust the crank.

Any advice would be much appreciated

I remember having a crank come undone once on a normal bike and I lost 50% of the (loose) bearings - it was an old bike.
Most modern bikes use captured or sealed bearings, so no worries of dropping your ball bearings everywhere these days
However, a loose crank will likely throw the chain and/or cause damage, so it's best to get it tightened up.

I don't know if there are any peculiarities to your bike that warrant specialist knowledge. If so hopefully someone will be along shortly to help out.

For general information there's a section on "bike repair on line" that gives details about cranks and bottom brackets - may be useful to you.

Thanks for the info Footie.
I think i have mustered enough courage to strip the bike down and investigate further.So it's off to the shop to buy all the tools!

Wife not happy though.She claims she is becoming an E-Bike widow!
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
