July 31, 201510 yr I thought my Powabike was Mk 1 the side covers just lift off the motor. I wondered why I was not getting any replies,and it was posted in the wrong forum..I found that the wires coming from the wheel had been almost cut and badly frayed. I want to replace them but I don't want to damage anything. What side do I tap the spindle on to get the motor out of the wheel, and any tips on servicing would be appreciated.The bike is older than I thought but the motor works and looking at the tyres hardly used.,shame not to revive it. regards
July 31, 201510 yr I haven't dismantled one, but it looks to me like you need to bend the wire into its slot, then tap the axle with a plastic or copper mallet on the wire side, and the cover on the other side should pop off as you tap the motor core through.
July 31, 201510 yr Author That's what I thought, but if you don't ask you can do more damage. I saw that Flash has had powabykes in the past so I sent a post to him and he has also serviced them. I hope I sent the post correctly. Thank you I appreciate your quick reply. with kind regards.
