Repair Guide

Dismounting the rear driven hub motor assembly on an arwibon gt06 scooter and high-power dual-drive companion platforms like the GT06 PLUS is required when repairing tire punctures, replacing worn brake discs, or servicing internal stator windings. The rear hub houses both the pneumatic off-road tire rim and the high-torque brushless permanent-magnet motor , which draws continuous current directly from the chassis controller bay. Because the motor axle transfers vehicle weight and motor reaction torque into the rear swingarm dropouts, teardown requires a coordinated procedure: removing aesthetic swingarm trim, uncoupling the high-voltage battery rail, withdrawing sealed motor wiring through frame apertures, and backing off M14 axle fasteners with pneumatic or high-torque hand tools.

This technical gt06 electric scooter manual provides the direct workshop sequence to remove swingarm trim, unbolt disc calipers, decouple internal inverter plugs, extract wiring harnesses, and dismount the rear hub motor on your arwibon scooter, arwibon gt06, and related arwibon scooters.

High-Voltage DC Isolation, Dropout Reaction Forces, and Cable Fatigue

Before loosening axle hardware on your arwibon e scooter, evaluate the mechanical and electrical constraints across the rear chassis of the gt06 scooter:

1. Capacitive Inverter Stored Energy: The dual-motor inverter utilizes large electrolytic capacitors that retain DC potential even after the ignition key switch is turned off. Uncoupling the primary yellow XT60 battery feeder is mandatory before disconnecting motor phase leads or signal lines. Skipping battery isolation risks short-circuit arcing across logic lines on high-power arwibon scooters.

2. Axle Flat and Dropout Interaction: The solid steel motor axle utilizes 14mm machined flats that slide into open U-shaped dropouts in the steel swingarm plates. Reaction torque from full-throttle motor acceleration exerts rotational shear against these dropouts. External slotted torque plates anchor the axle to prevent it from spinning inside the swingarm and severing the internal copper phase bundle on your arwibon electric scooter.

3. Internal Chassis Bulkhead Grommets: The motor harness contains three heavy 10-AWG phase conductors paired with five 5V Hall sensor lines inside an integrated quick-disconnect connector block. Withdrawing this wide connector head through the rear chassis pass-through bore requires clearing auxiliary brake and turn signal wires first to avoid catching the terminal housing against aluminum tube edges.

Move the impact wrench to the right-side motor axle nut 00:03:27. Seat the 21mm socket squarely over the nut 00:03:28.

Trigger the tool counterclockwise to break holding torque 00:03:29. Spin the nut off the axle threads 00:03:31 and extract the right torque bracket plate.

Step 8: Drop Motor Wheel Out of Swingarm Dropouts 00:03:33

Place both hands firmly under the tread of the rear 11-inch pneumatic tire 00:03:34.

Apply downward and slightly rearward pressure to disengage the axle 00:03:35.

Slide the parallel axle flats smoothly out of the open swingarm dropout slots 00:03:36.

Support the heavy hub assembly as it clears the frame plates 00:03:37. Lower the complete rear hub motor and tire wheel unit onto the workshop floor 00:03:42.

Preventative Diagnostics & Reassembly Protocols

• Axle Flat and Dropout Gap Inspection: Examine the internal shoulders of the aluminum dropouts on the arwibon. If road impacts or axle rocking have deformed the slot faces beyond 0.2mm clearance, replace the torque plates or swingarm arms before putting the scooter back into service.

• Axle Nut Torque Specification: When reinstalling the rear motor assembly, align the axle flats with the dropout slots, install both torque bracket plates, and torque both M14 flanged axle nuts to 90–100 Nm using a calibrated torque wrench. Reinstall torque plate positioning screws to 5.0 Nm.

• Component Sourcing Standards: If stator coils short to ground or internal axle threads strip, replace the unit using authentic arwibon gt06 parts or certified arwibon scooter parts to ensure matched phase resistance, factory Hall sensor timing, and rated axle shear strength.
