Electric Tricycle Gearbox Replacement Measurement Guide

Prepare the dimensions, photos and operating data needed to compare an installed gearbox with the catalogue range.

Measure the interfaces that control fit.

A model name or overall photo may identify the family, but it does not confirm the pilot, bolt pattern, shaft, axle or shift interface. Use a dimensioned sketch and multiple square-on photos.

  • Overall length, width and height
  • Mounting-hole pattern and pilot diameters
  • Input shaft or spline dimensions
  • Output and half-shaft teeth or spline details
  • Rear axle width and mounting side
  • Shift cable, linkage and bracket geometry

Replacement Process

From sample to approved drawing

01

Initial comparison

Compare model family, ratio, axle width, voltage and visible interfaces.

02

Dimension clarification

Request missing pilot, bolt, shaft, spline, center-distance and clearance dimensions.

03

Drawing confirmation

Review the supplier drawing against the existing assembly and vehicle installation.

04

Sample validation

Install and test under the actual load, speed, shift and route conditions before volume purchase.
