Gearing
The Apex 50 is equipped with a 7-speed gear system. Use the trigger shifter to change gears according to terrain and desired speed. Shift smoothly to avoid strain on the drivetrain.
Braking System
The bike features Dual Hydraulic Oil Brakes for superior stopping power and reduced hand fatigue. Apply both brakes simultaneously for effective and controlled stopping. The bright brake colors also serve as a visual reminder of the advanced braking capabilities.
This graphic demonstrates the improved stopping power and reduced hand fatigue offered by the upgraded front and rear dual hydraulic oil brakes compared to traditional mechanical brakes.
Dual Motor Power
The Apex 50 boasts a 3000W Peak Dual Brushless Motor system with All-Wheel Drive (AWD), providing exceptional power and torque (190 Nm) for tackling steep inclines (up to 40% climb) and rugged terrains. This dual motor setup ensures impressive acceleration and off-road capability, with a top speed of 35 MPH.
The powerful 3000W AWD Dual Brushless Motors provide high torque and climbing capacity, enabling speeds up to 35+ MPH.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Apex 50.
Battery Care
The UL Listed 48V 1200WH/52V 1300WH Lithium Battery with BMS Intelligent Safety is designed for 1000+ cycles. Charge the battery using the provided charger only. Do not overcharge. Store the battery in a cool, dry place and charge it periodically if not in use for extended periods.
Tire Pressure
Maintain proper tire pressure for the 26''x4'' Fat Tires. Refer to the tire sidewall for recommended pressure ranges. Correct pressure improves ride quality, efficiency, and tire lifespan.
Brake Inspection
Regularly check brake pads for wear and brake fluid levels for the hydraulic system. If you notice reduced braking performance, consult a qualified technician.
Suspension System
The Hydraulic Dual Full Suspension system (Front Suspension and Front Fork Rear Shock) requires minimal maintenance. Keep the suspension components clean and free of debris. The 48V version has an adjustable locking hydraulic front fork, while the 52V version has a non-adjustable lockout hydraulic front fork.
The full suspension system, including front and rear shocks, is designed to absorb bumps for a comfortable ride on various terrains.
General Cleaning
Clean your bike regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid high-pressure washing directly on electrical components.
