VanMoof AutoHub Set - Installation Manual


Introduction

The VanMoof AutoHub Set is a 2-speed replacement for the original 4-speed system on your bike. This set includes a new wheel and a pseudo e-shifter. During installation, you'll need to transfer the tire and brake rotor from the original wheel. Follow the steps below for a successful installation.


Tools :

  • Allen key #2.5
  • Allen key #4
  • Allen key #5
  • Anti-theft tool with #15 key
  • Tire lever
  • Pump
  • Torx #25

Steps:

1. Remove the chain guard and chain tensioner

Action :

    • Remove the rear portion of the chain guard.
    • Remove the bolts holding the chain tensioner.


2. Disconnect the e-Shifter


Action
:

    • Remove the e-Shifter bolt (save the bolt for later use).
    • Remove the cover and unplug the connector from the frame.
    • Disconnect the e-Shifter connector.


3. Remove the rear wheel

Action :

    • Use the anti-theft nut to remove both wheel nuts.
    • Lower the wheel out of the frame.


4. Transfer the Inner & Outer Tire and Brake Disc Rotor

Action :

    • Remove both the inner and outer tires and the brake disc rotor from the old wheel.
    • Carefully remove the rim tape and check it for physical damage. If it appears to be in good condition, you can reuse it on the new wheel; if not, we recommend replacing it with a new one. You can always use any rim tape of your choice.
    • Install all of the above mentioned parts onto the new wheel.

5. Install Pseudo e-Shifter

Action :

    • Connect the Pseudo e-Shifter.
    • Install the cable bracket using the bolt you saved from step 3.
    • Slide the Pseudo e-Shifter into place.


6. Install 2-Speed ​​Hub Rear Wheel

Action :

    • Check the chain's wear. If it's worn, replace it (note: a new chain is not included in the kit).
    • Remove 1 full link from the chain (the rear sprocket on the new wheel is slightly smaller, so this adjustment is necessary)
    • Install the new wheel.

7. Install the Chain Guard and Tensioner

Action :

    • Close the chain guard and install the tensioner onto the frame.
    • Align the Pseudo Shifter bracket with the holes for the e-Shifter.
    • Align the chain tensioner properly with the slotted holes.
    • Make sure the metal bracket does not touch the chain.

8. Check and Adjust the Brake Caliper

Action :

    • Align the brake caliper.
    • Make sure the disc is not rubbing and the brake pads are free from movement.
    • Take the bike for a test ride to check for proper alignment.


Troubleshooting tips

  • Error 44 : If error 44 is still displayed on the screen, there may be a problem with the wiring or the Cartridge, not with the E-shifter.
  • App settings : With the Pseudo E-shifter, the shift points are fixed at specific speeds. The app settings will no longer affect shifting. Make sure the shift point is set to the appropriate shift point.
