Awesome! I just bought a Trek Fuel EXe and want to install a light on it. Do you know if there are any particular power plugs available on this system?
Can you please tell me what were those two tools used to remove the crank arms and chainring? Also do you know what the updated torque specs on the motor mounting bolts and chainring to get rid of the creaking noise?? Thanks in advance, love doing my own work but the knowledge is key first 🙏🏽 awesome video!
I believe there is a Trek Service Bulletin to tighten up the chainring to 50nm (up from original 30nm). To remove the crank is a hex and then alloy E13 cranks uses the crank puller tool (park etc) - carbon E13 are self-extracting. An ISIS bottom bracket tool looks like it was used for the locking on the chainring. Def want to double check but the e-mtb megatread for the Fuel EX-e is very helpful here for this info.
@@aznguyen316 thank you for the reply! I actually bought the park tool bottom bracket tool and crank puller last week and found that lock ring was barley finger tight. 30nm felt like nothing so I ended up tightening to 45nm. Bike is nice and quiet again.
hi great video! can you ride the Trek Fuel EXE with motor turned off? does the Trek Fuel EXE also have an app (phone) to change the motor settings? how do you feel about the 50 NM is it enough? have you thought about buying a orbea rise m10 or m20 with 60 NM?
The Fuel EXe is wonderful to drive without engine support. It almost feels like a normal trail bike. The power of the motor and the response characteristics can be adjusted via the phone app. The 50Nm are perfect for this bike. The Orbea Rise is also a very good bike, the Shimano engine is much bigger and above all very loud compared to the TQ you don't notice acoustically.
Does anyone know how to modify the maximum speed on this motor? I live in Canada and I am bringing the bike to my house in Pheonix. The maximum allowed limit in Canada is 32Km/h, but in the States, it's 28mph or 45Km/h. Thanks BTW, mine is a road bike.
Hi there. You can use standard tools for both. The crank can be easily removed with the Shimano tool for example TL-FC11, and the sprocket with a normal cassette key. Cheers.
So if the battery and motor and display or so light weight with a carbon frame why is the levo SL 4 pounds lighter with a heavier battery and heavier noisy annoying motor? This thing should weigh 35 pounds
Hi codygoacam. Thank you for your comment. The lightest version of the Fuel EXe weighs 35.5 lbs (17.4kg). The removable battery is certainly a bit heavier than the Levo SL, but more customer-friendly. The super stable and massive frame is certainly not the lightest, but it holds up. And the motor... yeah, you really don't hear it on the Trek. No annoying noise. Just nothing! This is a real highlight.
very helpful video for me as a fresh fuel exe customer. thx guys !
very compact motor design
Certainly the most compact and quietest motor on the market at the moment. Also very dynamic and natural to drive.
I have the BMC Fourstroke AMP, share the same TQ motor, is very nice, i love it 👌

What tool did you use to remove the cranks?
park tool CPP-44

Would love to know the same. Sounds like we both have the same creaking coming from the chain ring area.

Where do I find the serial number of this bike on my bike frame ?

Please provide details on the special tools to remove cranks and chain ring. Thank you !

In which direction does the left crankarm unscrew?
allen key bolt is removed anti-clockwise...both sides.

@@Veloeggae bike can go as low as 33.64 lbs if you remove main battery and just run extender battery for 50% battery.
