Just be careful not to get the tension too tight since that could damage the motor.

It isn't a big deal to remove the motor drive freewheel or chain. In fact, there's a mod described on ecoforumz.com to bump up the speed of the standard OEM ezip bikes or conversion kits by installing a smaller motor drive freewheel--moving from a 20 tooth to 16 tooth freewheel. Here's a link to the thread on that mod, including information on where you can purchase a left threaded, 11 tooth freewheel. http://www.ecoforumz.com/electric-bi...-oem-pack.html
