See how to assemble the rear wheel onto the bike frame – with an Enviolo Automatic (AutomatiQ) and a 148mm modular axle hub.
Backward compatibility
This guide is compatible with legacy Enviolo and NuVinci 148mm modular axle hubs.
Exercise caution when assembling
Improper installation may result in damage to the dropout and the hub. Over-tightening may damage parts. Under-tightening can result in the axle sliding in the dropouts.
Step-by-step instructions

Tools
- 15mm wrench
- Torque wrench
- 15mm long socket
- 17mm long socket (only for Extreme hub)
- Allen key 5mm
Assembly instructions
- Place the disc brake rotor on the hub.
- 148mm variants require an extra adapter to be placed under the rotor and need to be tightened with the longer bolts supplied with the kit.
- Tighten the rotor bolts as specified by the brake rotor manufacturer.
- For rim and roller brake applications, connect the rear brake according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- 148mm variants require an extra adapter to be placed under the rotor and need to be tightened with the longer bolts supplied with the kit.
- Place the torque arm onto the axle and orientate it in an angle that it slides into the boss on the brake adapter or dropout.
- The cable housing should be able to enter the hub interface in a straight line.
- Place the rear wheel in the frame with the torque adapter sliding into the slot in the dropout or disc adapter.
- Install the left and right side adapters securing the axle with the M6 bolts to 10-15Nm.
- On the right side, ensure the spring washer is positioned between the hub interface and the adapter.
- Finally, assemble the power cable carefully by inserting it into the AUTOMATiQ hub interface (C).
Next steps
By now, you should have an Enviolo Automatic mounted on the eBike. The next step depends:
New interface - upload new configuration
Upload a new configuration if you:
- Installed a new Enviolo Automatic;
- Reused an Enviolo Automatic on a different eBike model;
- Want a fresh configuration install.
Next steps:
- Get a configuration QR: Generate a QR code to configure the Enviolo Automatic (AutomatiQ)
- See configuration steps: How to configure the Enviolo Automatic (AutomatiQ) using the Enviolo app
Reused interface - skip to calibration
Skip to calibration if you reinstalled a used Enviolo Automatic on the same eBike model as before The configuration should be the same. The interface now only needs to calibrate to work.
Auto calibration
Auto calibration is the best way to calibrate the Enviolo Automatic – available since firmware version R48 and V10. To update your firmware, see: How to update the Enviolo Automatic with the latest firmware version
Auto calibration keeps the system optimized
If your system is up to date – latest app and firmware – the Enviolo Automatic will passively calibrate while riding. It is the best way to keep your system optimised.
Manual calibration
Manual calibration of the Enviolo Automatic is only required when using older firmware versions (pre-firmware R48 and V10) and after one of the following:
- After the initial assembly of the e-bike.
- When the automatic hub interface was removed for maintenance reasons.
- When the system does not work properly.
