Bike Assembly Guide

Preparation Checklist

NOTICE: Before assembling your bike, it’ s recommended to remove the battery for the reasons outlined below:

1. Determine if there’ s battery drain or damage during shipping.
2. Reduce the weight of the e-bike to make it easier to maneuver the bike while assembling.
3. Avoid battery damage during the assembly process.
   Go to page 21 to learn about removing and charging the battery.

Recommended Torque Values

NOTICE: Using an impact driver to achieve the required torque is not recommended as it might cause damage. We suggest you use the wrench set we provided and extra tools to manually adjust nuts and bolts.

Assembly Instructions

Handlebar Installation ( 4mm Hex Wrench )
Step 1: Loosen the bolts on your bike stem.
Step 2 : Center your handlebars and rotate them to align to the marking pointed.
Step 3:: Tighten bolts to handlebar stem, but don’t tighten completely as you may want to further adjust the angle later to align more precisely. After determining the best position, completely tighten all the bolts on the stem.

Front Wheel Installation
Step 1: Prepare your quick-release skewer for the next step by removing the thumb nut and one of the cone spring.
Step 2: Install the quick-release skewer starting from the brake rotor side of the wheel, inserting the quick-release skewer through the hub and then replacing the second cone spring on the other side. Ensure both springs are pointed narrow-side-in towards the wheel hub.
Step 3 : Tighten the thumb.
Step 4 : Align the fork dropouts with the axle of the wheel hub, making sure the dropouts are securely positioned on the axle. Also ensure the brake rotor is properly inserted into the caliper.
Step 5 : Tighten the thumb nut until the quick-release lever is held in line with the axle, and then use your palm of your hand to close the quick-release lever.
Step 6 : Rotate the front wheel. Make sure the quick release skewer lever on the front wheel is fully closed, and check the wheel balance in Pedal- Only Mode. If you notice the riding is imbalanced or the rotation of the front wheel makes noise, it means the bolts were not completely tightened or not aligned horizontally.

Headlight & Front Fender Installation
The headlights are attached with a bolt, and you’ll need a 4mm wrench to tighten its nut

Step 1 : Loosen the bolts on the headlight. Align the headlight bolt holes with the holes on the fork bracket, then re-thread the bolts through all holes and tighten the bolts with a 4mm wrench extractor retaining nut.

1. Loosen the bolts on the headlights with a PH1 wrench
2. Align the headlight bolt holes with the holes on the fork bracket
3. Set the nut to tighten the bolt

Step 2 : Loosen the bolts on the front fender holder. Align the front fender bolt holes with the holes in the holder, then re-thread the bolts through all holes and tighten the bolts with 6mm wrench retaining nuts.

1. Loosen the bolts on the front fender holder with a 6mm hex wrench.
2. Tighten the bolts with 6mm wrench retaining nuts.

Adjust the Seat Height:
Open the seatpost quick release lever. Adjust the seatpost height by sliding the seatpost up or down to a height appropriate for your leg length and preferred riding position. Do not extend the seatpost beyond the minimum insertion marking etched onto the seatpost.

NOTICE: The seat angle has been preadjusted to factory safety standards. Please make note of original settings, and only adjust if necessary.

Pedals Installation (15mm wrench)
Make sure your pedals are installed on the correct side, as installing on the wrong side will damage the threads. Indicators for the right pedal (R) and the left pedal (L) can be found in two places: the stickers on the plastic cover, and the bottom of the pedal threads.

Before you install the pedals, apply a small amount of waterproof grease onto the spindle. Start threading the pedal on by hand to ensure the pedal is going in perfectly straight, rotating in the direction of the pointer shown on the crank. If it is not spinning smoothly, make doubly sure that you have the correct left or right pedal. After initial hand-tightening, finish tightening the pedals with a standard 15mm wrench .

Battery Charging

Charging Procedure for Off-bike Charging

Step 1: Find the keys located on the handlebar and remove them. If you cut them from the handlebars, be careful not to damage any of the wires.
NOTICE: Please keep your key and its spare in a safe place. Once lost, they are difficult to copy.
Step 2: Use the key to unlock the battery. While holding the battery with one hand, detach the battery by turning the release switch located on the underside of the frame.
Step 3 : Safest way to charge your battery

1. Start by plugging the charger into the battery charging port. With the battery inside the bike, place the charger on a flat, safe place and connect the charger’s DC output plug (barrel connector (2) )to the charging port (1) on the side of the battery.
2. Plug the charger into an electrical outlet. Connect the charger input plug (3) (110-240 volt plug) to an electrical outlet. Charging should begin and the LED charging status light on the charger will show red.
3. Unplug the charger from the outlet, then from the charging port. When fully charged, the charging indicator light changes from red to green, first unplug the charger from the wall outlet, then unplug the charger output plug from the battery charging port.

NOTICE: This order helps extend the battery life and effectively reduces battery damage caused by improper charging.

After Charging

1. Please unplug the main power supply first by removing the plug from the power socket, then remove the DC port from the battery.
   You can then check the battery status on the display screen.

2. Insert the battery with caution, making sure that the slots at the bottom of the battery align with the pins on the bike frame, and slide in carefully to avoid damaging the interior circuitry.

3. Lock the battery when finished to prevent theft.

NOTICE: If your battery displays abnormal charging behavior, such as:

• Longer-than-expected charge time
• Strange smell, smoke, or liquid emanating from battery and/or charger
• Overheating battery and/or charger
Please stop charging and contact us immediately..

Charging Tips

• The battery can be recharged on or off the bike.
• A new battery may take longer to be fully charged when depleted.
• The charger will automatically stop charging once the battery pack is fully charged.
• You can recharge the battery after short rides as it does not have a memory effect.

Precautions

• While charging, please keep your battery away from direct sunlight, liquid, dirt or debris, and metal objects. Do not allow the battery to be charged in environments under 14° Fahrenheit (-10° Celsius) and over 104° Fahrenheit (40° Celsius).
• Do not cover the charger when charging.
• Keep the battery away from children while charging.
• Make sure to only use an approved MX05 bike charger purchased directly from ours for your specific bike serial number.

Before Riding
Ensure that the battery has been properly secured to the bike before each use by grasping the battery pack and pulling upwards, testing the security of the pack.

Battery Maintenance ( 4 8 V 1 5 A H Shengmilo Lithium battery)

• Do not fully drain your battery. Turn off the power when the battery charge is low.
• Fully charge the battery after each use, no matter how much power is used. This will prolong the battery life. If battery power is not used for a long time, store the battery with a full charge and charge it once a month.
• The MX05 bike can be safely ridden in light rain. However, riding through very heavy downpours or through flooded streets is not recommended, as the crank and/or motor can get wet, which may cause damage.
• Keep the battery away from open flame and other high-temperature heat sources. Do not expose the battery to direct sunlight or recharge immediately after use in high-temperature weather.
  NOTICE: It is not recommended to make any modifications to the battery or the motor. If the battery is tampered with, and there are any problems with the altered battery or motor, it will not be covered under the warranty.

Charger Care Information

1. Check the charger, charger cables, and battery for damage before beginning each charge.

2. Always charge in a safe area that is cool, dry, indoors, away from direct sunlight, dirt, or debris, in a clear area away from potential to trip on the charging cords, or for damage to occur to the bike, battery, or charging equipment while parked and/or charging.
   The battery can be charged on or off the bike.

3. The battery should be recharged after each use, so it is ready to go the full range per charge next ride. There is no memory effect, so charging the battery after short rides will not cause damage.

4. Charging the battery normally takes 6-7 hours.

5. The charge indicator lights will show a red light while the battery charges. When charging is complete, one indicator light will turn green. Ensure the lights face upward when charging.

6. Remove the charger from the battery within one hour of the green light indicating a complete charge.

7. Never charge a battery for more than 12 hours at a time. Do not leave a charging battery unattended

Riding Modes

Pedal-assist
Pedal-Assist is an operating mode on e-bikes designed to engage the motor to assist, but not replace, your own pedaling effort. When you are operating your bike in the pedal-assist mode, you can adjust the setting according to your preference. MX05 has five pedal assist settings -ranging from 1 to 5.

• Higher pedal settings (L4/5) would be most helpful for those who want to ride faster with minimum effort. These settings are perfect for people who want to arrive fresh and timely at work, without being sweaty and exhausted.
• Lower pedal settings (L1/2) are popular for riders to use after work, or when leisurely exercise is preferred. These are best to use on the way home from work, to refresh yourself and relieve stress accumulated throughout the entire workday. Moreover, lower settings can extend the usable range for longer rides, maximizing enjoyment while minimizing physical stress and fatigue.

Throttle-only
The throttle mode is similar to how a motorcycle or scooter operates, alleviating the need to pedal or providing an additional boost simply by twisting the throttle.
MX05 can reach speeds of up to 25 miles per hour with throttle mode, which not only allows you to travel faster but also reassures riders with extra power whenever needed, depending on traffic conditions and rider energy levels. If you are an adventurer who chases after speed and distance without compromising comfort or safety, the throttle-assisted would be your perfect companion.

Pedal-only
In this mode, the MX05 will perform like a normal bike, as you’ll be riding without any assistance from the motor. This mode is especially useful if you run out of battery, or are looking for more intensive resistance training.
We suggest that you select a lower assistance level when you first ride your MX05. After becoming more comfortable with the riding characteristics of our e-bike, and more familiar with the varying range requirements of your most common destinations and commuting routes, you can then make any needed adjustments to pedal-assist settings, as well as the throttle use frequency, riding position, etc.

Riding Limitations
Following are some limitations needing riders’ careful attention to ensure the hub motor does not overheat or become damaged from excessive loading:

• Do not attempt to ride up hills steeper than 15% grade.
• Use the pedals to assist the motor when climbing hills and accelerating from a stop.
• Avoid sudden starts and stops.
• Generally accelerate at a moderate pace, rather than aggressively

Maintenance

Battery Maintenance (48V 15AH battery)

1. Don’t fully drain your battery. Turn off the power when the battery charge is low.
2. Fully charge the battery after each use, no matter how much power is used. This will prolong the battery life. If the battery is not used for a long time, store the battery with a full charge and charge it once a month.
3. MX05 can be safely ridden in light rain. However, riding through very heavy downpours or through flooded streets is not recommended, as the crank and/or motor can get wet, which may cause problems.
4. Keep the battery away from an open flame or a high-temperature heat source. Do not expose the battery to direct sunlight or recharge immediately after use in high-temperature weather.

Motor Maintenance (500W BAFANG Geared Hub Motor with 80 Nm of torque)

1. Please check your motor frequently and tighten any loose screws or nuts, to prevent the vehicle from breaking down due to disconnected wires.
2. The brushless motors are not waterproof, so avoid riding through water deeper than the lower edge of the electric wheel hub to avoid motor failure.

Chain Maintenance

1. We recommend cleaning the chain after each ride, especially in rainy and humid environments. Use a dry cloth to wipe the chain and its accessories clean. Use a brush to remove sand and dirt stuck in the chain, along with use warm soapy water if needed. Do not use strong acidic or alkaline cleaning agents (such as rust remover), because these chemicals can damage the chain.
2. Apply lubricating oil after cleaning to avoid rust. First, make sure the chain is dry, and then apply the lubricating oil to the bearings.
3. To prevent unnecessary chain wear, try to maintain a vertical chain position when shifting gears (do not use the smallest gear with the smallest flywheel, or the largest gear with the largest flywheel, etc.).

Front Fork Maintenance

1. Always use a clean, oil-free lint-free cloth with plain or soapy water to clean your bike. To prevent water from flowing into the front fork, you can turn the bike upside down. Dry with a lint-free towel after washing. Pay specific attention to the inner tube and the dust seal to reduce wear and prevent thinning of the inner tube, which can lead to significant damage if the aluminum is exposed to air.
2. We recommend using a front fork dust cover to protect the inner tube of your front fork. This prevents dust from entering as well as hard objects from hitting the inner tube.
