How to Remove an Ebike Rear Wheel

In this episode, Craig shows us how to remove the rear wheel on a Rize electric bike. Caution: Be sure not to touch the rear brake lever when the wheel is removed. Doing this can cause oil to spray and the rear brake to cinch up. Should we make more of these? Please hit the LIKE button and leave us a comment. And, don't forget to Subscribe!

Craig you saved me 150. Thank you.

[@darcy_1]

This was exactly the video I needed. All others were some other variation for the way the wheel was installed. Thank you!

[@squeekycheese]

I watched a few video's on ebike rear tire change. This one is the best.....by far.

[@RizeBikes]

Glad we were able to help!

[@user-oe1mb9hu9i]

@@RizeBikes You deffo helped. Saved me about 100 USD. If I had the money I'd give it to the shop, but I don't right now so very helpful. Thanks.

[@jackrussell1960]

@@RizeBikes I hope you can help me, bro..?!..i practically took of the rear wheel, to fix a puncture...when my kid brother twisted the throttle, and because the wheel was off, turning the throttle, made the spindle rotate freely...now i fix the puncture, the wheel is back on...but there seems to be a "break" inside the drum on B/wheel..and it won't move...it will no longer run with battery-power...please help bro

[@ubusinessman]

Bravo! Thank you! Better than most of the dedicated videos and very well shot.

[@soaringstars314]

How did you do it without getting th wheel stuck or something? When i put it back it refused to place it back on its original spot and will not budge

[@roslee7]

I have few question to ask.. for the planetary gears, is the metal one better than the nylon ? and for the tension of the chain, is very tight is good or a bit loose?

[@Kawhisexual]

Used this vid to replace wheel and change brake pads for my gotrax ebe4.. thank you so much!! Gotrax offers literally 0 customer service nor any informations, my next ebike purchase will be Rize!!

[@sixfoursoul2538]

Thank you so much! This is the the most complete and well explained video i have seen on this, I am glad you mentioned the lock nuts also.

[@RizeBikes]

Glad it helped!

[@prince41998]

Thank you for the Detailed video, I didn't know you have to tap the wheel to get it of bent my disc brake saving alot of money now to fix it myself ❤

[@somare2364]

Thanks for the great video, all the small details really helped!

[@vladyslavbezborodko2383]

Amazing video, everything good thanks

[@markrackley2665]

I was a little worried about taking the rear off my E bike but you made it simple nowm my question is where do you get the three legged braces for the handlebarstried searching thank you

[@RizeBikes]

Hello Mark, I'm glad to hear the video was of assistance! The three legged braces can be purchased off Amazon.

[@soopermikey2767]

Lifesaver dude. Thx.

[@DjNVReckless]

[@aromankaloz]

Thank you for the video, helped a lot 🙏

[@RizeBikes]

Glad we were able to assist!

[@brianchun1908]

It is also helpful to tighten the nuts evenly on both sides.

[@craigmullen2037]

Does anyone know the 4 digit access code for the settings on an M5 digital display for ebikes?

[@username.Username415]

Thank you so much !

[@MasteronSVK]

Please, can you provide a direct link to the mentioned three-leg-bracers for handelbars? You mention it is on Amazon, but it is impossible to find.

[@RizeBikes]

Hello, Here is a link: www.amazon.ca/Original-Handlebar-Jack-Portable-Compatible/dp/B0922ZBL8Q/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1T0VO2OIOV1QX&keywords=bike+handlebar+stand&qid=1697646770&sprefix=bike+handlebar+sta%2Caps%2C141&sr=8-5

[@anio6865]

Someone removed the outer circlip from my ebike wheel. And it is bent and neither do I know exactly where it goes. Will it be ok to ride my bike without the circlip ?

[@krazyfire1013]

I don't have this brand bike but does it matter which way the notch on the end of axle faces up or down? I have mine facing up I noticed yours is the opposite but does that really matter everything works fine

[@RizeBikes]

Hello, The axle notch should face downward so the motor cable and be oriented correctly.

[@kellymeredith5389]

We got the bike back together and when I put the battery back on it won't move or work

[@sixfoursoul2538]

@@kellymeredith5389 If the display comes on then there is power going to the bike, so i would double check to see if the connector to the motor is plugged in all the way. there should be no reason you motor is not working unless something is unplugged or you accidentally cut the wire.

[@otishohimer9146]

I appreciate it

[@alanbedford9989]

I dint think I have a plug does it unplug out ov the control box motor cable no plug very old bike but going strong wants rear tyre thanku

[@RizeBikes]

Hell Alan, Unfortunately, if your motor cannot be disconnected from your controller, it will be difficult much more difficult to replace your rear tire. Please get in touch with the original manufacturer of your eBike.

[@michaelbeckett3890]

Does anybody know where I can get an axle like this one. The one on my Ancheer e bike has snapped I can't find one anywhere thanks.

[@RizeBikes]

Hello Michael, You'll probably going to want to get in contact with the shop that originally sold you the bike as our axles most likely will only work on our specifications on the Rize Bikes.

[@seangiuliani3825]

Thankyou. my bike arived w a flat back tube and ur direction has made me feel more comfortable at removing the wheel.

[@RizeBikes]

Glad it helped!

[@stevepate3864]

where can i get the stands for the handelbars when i turn the bike upside down

[@RizeBikes]

Hello Steve, You can find the same item we use by searching: Portable handlebar stand.

[@psuedonymalias]

A different video states if you flip your ebike upside down the hydraulic brakes will become spongy. Are your breaks mechanical or hydraulic?

[@RizeBikes]

Hello, All our brakes are hydraulic.

[@loneryee]

*If the side threads of you axle are shaven off/down how do you remove the lock nut.*

[@dtz1000]

You don't need to remove the nut. You just need to loosen it.

[@jorgerobles8637]

What size is the axle nut? I’m trying to look for a 18 mm nut but I can’t find one need help😭

[@Brad-99]

Lol that's what I was wondering too . He used 18 m wrench so .so the whole nut is 18mm But the hole is going to be M12 or and M14 I think .I called Rize, guy didn't know on the phone 😐 Also the front size might be smaller like an m10 ,m8 . I have the old spark bike x .I guess it would be the same for Rize x

[@bigimskiweisenheimer8325]

Sitting here watching this as the local bike shop is replacing my rear inner tube. The shop was closer to where I got a flat then my house is.

[@pierrechartrand7773]

[@joebagofdonuts]

The best way to remember what order the washers and nuts go on the bike is to put them in order on the ground when you take them off. Don't just drop them like a pile of coins.

[@bobbynorth6387]

thank you sir!! its free too!! yea!!🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@jamesryan9046]

good vodeo

[@yagirlnessa8464]

I got patches to patch up my tire but I didn’t know I needed any of these tools to remove it

[@dtz1000]

You only need the 18mm spanner. The others are not necessary.

[@TrippinWithTodd]

Cant for the life of me get the wheel back on. Will not seat in the axle notches. Any advice?

[@RizeBikes]

Hello, You'll have to grab a wrench that fits the axle and wiggle the axle back and forth as you place the wheel into the bike. The issue is your axle is not oriented the correct direction when placing it onto the frame.

[@TrippinWithTodd]

@@RizeBikes do you mean a wrench that fits the nut on the axle? Or a pair of pliers to wiggle the axle?

[@EmilioMalice]

This guy makes great videos , but if your camera person can just keep keep the camera on the area your discussing.

[@adwinprasad]

How do I do this on a Fixie?

[@RizeBikes]

Hello Adwin, Please get in touch with us at [e-mail] and customer service associate will be able to assist you.

[@mikegalvez]

ive followed your instructions somehow my wheel wont come off nor budge.. ive removed the disc brake still wont move

[@Dudndbdjdn]

That happened to me I had to kick the wheel a bunch of times

[@EKV7T]

Rize I waited 7 months just for a motor😕

[@migthefig]

We all wait for all our stuff. Either parts or bikes itself. Don't think your alone in this. This is not Rize's fault at all. Those parts come from China and lockdown is causing all sorts of problem and slowing down mailing significantly. And not just that, almost at the same time this stupid covid hit, the demand of Ebike just sky rocketed.

[@migthefig]

Oh and one more thing, I got my bike 7 months ago, first one to pre order the Blade 2. I am still waiting for parts. Your not alone.

[@aidengalloway9979]

My bike doesn’t work this smooth like what

[@bikeman53]

This is what a chicken with it's head cut off looks like

[@kellymeredith5389]

I got the tire and new tube in and put the wheel back but when put my battery back on it wont work😂😂

[@kellymeredith5389]

Pls help

Hello Kelly, Please get in touch with our support at [e-mail] and we'll assist you with your issues!

[@MrToast-yq1dv]

I'm still trying to get that fucking first bolt off no reason it should be this tight

[@RizeBikes]

Hi Mr. Toast, spray some WD40 between the axle and nut. This should make it a lot easier to undo the nut. Hope that helps.

[@RainingRabbitz2]

My cable doesn't separate like that. Moving on to another video

[@pete2109]

You said “I’ll take this bolt out and this bolt out but you didn’t say what they held and what their for???? 🤣🤣🤣👎

[@RizeBikes]

Hello Pete, Thank you for the feedback. We are working on replacing our videos and making sure they are more clear in future videos.

[@roslee7]

I dont have a bike repair stand, can i turn my bike upside down to remove the rear wheels? and later to put in back? or doing repairs?

[@RizeBikes]

Hello, That works fine! Just make sure to have a support by the handlebar to prevent your LCD from being damaged.
