Hi I have a whyte ebike which requires new tubes. It looks like the axel is holding the wheel in using some sort of 5 sided Allen key. Does anyone know if I need any special tool or what alternatives I can use to get this out?

Sorry i am a bit confused on what I am looking at. Can you share a less close-up picture?
Treat it as if it was a rounded bolt.
Pentagon bit. That’s an anti theft feature.
If you’re super strong you can jam a flat blade screw driver in there and maybe get it to loosen.
6mm Allen wrench
I’m fairly sure the person this bike was stolen from knows how to remove a wheel.
Get him some shades, a four loko body spray… And bleach for his frosted hair tips.
That’s a security fastener ment to annoy thiefs. It has been added by the owner.
Whats the serial number on the bike? We can help reference what part to use.
