Template:Ninebot ESX Front Motor Disassembly - Front Panels
On either side of the motor, there are two plastic panels covering the screws.
Use a small flathead screwdriver to carefully peel the panels back and loosen the clips.

Once the clips are removed, there are 4 small button head M2.5/2.5mm hex/Allen screws holding the motor cover in place.

After these screws are removed you can slide away the bolt guard that they were holding down to access the bolts.
