Controls

Display Settings

Note: Do not change settings not listed in the table. Contact Aipas eBikes if you need default settings.

Functions

Tightening Torque

7-Speed Gear System

Your Aipas eBike has a 7-speed freewheel. Use lower gears for hills and higher gears for speed.

Throttle

WARNING! The right handlebar has a twist throttle. Ensure Pedal Assist (PAS) is set above 0. Twist the throttle slowly to achieve desired speed and acceleration.

Mechanical Disc Brakes

WARNING!

• To brake the front wheel: Pull the left brake lever.
• To brake the rear wheel: Pull the right brake lever.

Front and Rear Lights

• To turn lights ON: Press the LIGHT button.
• To turn lights OFF: Press the LIGHT button again.

Functions

Suspension Fork

Ensure suspension forks are properly adjusted. The black knob is non-functional. Adjust the blue knob to increase stiffness (clockwise, "lock") or decrease stiffness (counterclockwise, "open"). Fully lock suspension by turning clockwise until it stops.

How To Use Pedal Assist

Pedal Assist (PAS) functions only when pedaling. The motor output depends on your pedaling and the PAS level. PAS automatically switches off at the maximum set speed (up to 28 mph) and reactivates when speed drops below the maximum. You can also use the eBike as a normal bicycle by setting PAS to 0 or turning off the display. PAS will not function if the battery is discharged. The display and PAS/throttle features turn off after 10 minutes of inactivity.

Walk Mode

Walk Mode assists when walking the bicycle. To activate, hold the MINUS button on the display control pad. The motor engages at a slow walking speed. To deactivate, pull either brake lever or press and hold the MINUS button. "Walking" will appear on the display.

Cruise Control

Cruise control maintains a set speed. To activate, hold the MINUS button while twisting the throttle. For low speeds, slightly twist the throttle and hold the MINUS button. "Cruise" will appear on the display. To deactivate, pull either brake lever.

Warning Messages

Frame

• Never modify your frame or bicycle.
• Do not sand, drill, file, or remove parts.
• Do not install incompatible components.

Motor & Electric System

• Do not open the drive unit yourself. Service only by qualified personnel using original parts.
• Unauthorized opening voids the warranty.
• Use only Aipas eBikes-approved components.
• Always remove the battery pack before performing work, transporting, or storing the eBike.
• Do not make modifications that increase performance, as this may reduce service life and risk damage.
• Motor components can reach high temperatures under extreme conditions.

Brake System

• ALWAYS apply the right brake lever (rear) before and during the use of the front brake.
• Apply even pressure to both brake levers when stopping.
• Check that brake levers do not touch the handlebars when fully applied. Adjust barrel adjuster if necessary.
• Disc brake rotors can become hot after use. Do not touch them immediately after use.

Electrical Components

• Always turn lights ON for safety, especially at night or in low visibility.
• Set display brightness appropriately.
• Do not be distracted by the display. Concentrate on traffic.
• Stop before changing settings or display.

Range Estimates

Range varies based on rider weight, terrain, wind, user input, and cargo. The table provides estimates based on specific test conditions (rider weight ~180 lbs, few starts/stops, no cargo, top speed 20 mph, CST BFT tires at 30 PSI).

Warning Messages

Tips to Increase Range

• Ride at a lower PAS level.
• Use lower PAS levels and pedal when climbing hills.
• Pedal when starting from a standstill.

Battery

• Place the battery pack on clean surfaces. Avoid dirt in the charging port.
• Do not charge or use a damaged battery pack. Contact Aipas eBikes for replacement.
• Handle the battery carefully when removing it to avoid damage. If damaged, discontinue use and contact Aipas eBikes.

Top Speed

The Aipas eBike ships with a maximum speed of 20 mph (Class 2). Some states may have different regulations. Ride within your limits and obey traffic laws. Higher speeds increase safety risks. Always wear a helmet.

Note: Class 2 performance requires the speed setting not to exceed 20 mph (32 km/h). For Class 3, the setting can be up to 28 mph.

Thinks To Know Before The Ride

Things To Check

• Ensure front axle, rear axle, handlebars, and seat are secure.
• Check that handlebar and frame latches are fully closed and locked.
• Check tire pressure of both wheels.
• Test brake levers to ensure proper function.
• NEVER exceed the maximum total weight limit of 450 lbs (204 kg). The rear rack maximum is 75 lbs (35 kg).
• Only carry necessary cargo. Extra weight drains the battery faster and affects handling.
• Ensure all components are properly secured.
• Make sure your battery is fully charged.
• Secure your helmet.

Safety Tips

• eBike acceleration may be faster than anticipated. Use the lowest PAS level (PAS 1) initially.
• Practice starting, stopping, cornering, and navigating obstacles in a safe environment.
• Pedal Assist may activate as soon as you step on the pedals. Always be seated and engage at least one brake before pedaling.
• DO NOT place one foot on a pedal then throw your other leg over the bike, as it could accelerate unexpectedly.

Thinks To Know Before The Ride

How To Start And End Your Ride

1. Insert key and turn counterclockwise to ON position (parallel with frame).
2. Hold down the button on the left handlebar until the display turns on.
3. Select PAS level using PLUS/MINUS buttons (PAS 0 = no assist, PAS 1 = lowest, PAS 5 = highest).
4. To turn display OFF, press and hold the button while the bicycle is stopped. This prevents the motor from activating.

Note: Exercise caution with the twist throttle when the bicycle is stopped and powered ON. Do not twist the throttle, or the bicycle could accelerate.

Do not engage in Walking Mode while riding or sitting on the eBike. Holding the MINUS button engages the motor for walking speed.

Storing The Battery

Note of storing

When the battery pack will not be used for weeks or months, remove it and store it at about 60% charge. Check the charge level every 2-3 months and recharge to 60% if necessary. Storing a discharged battery may damage it and reduce its capacity.

For optimum service life, charge the battery to 100% a few hours before riding. If the charge level drops significantly, replace the battery pack.

DO NOT charge the battery unattended or leave it connected to the charger overnight.

Storage Conditions

Store the battery pack in a dry, well-ventilated place, protected from moisture and water. Store in a location that:

• Is in a room with a smoke alarm.
• Is away from combustible or easily flammable objects.
• Is away from heat sources.

For optimum service life, store between 50°F and 68°F. Avoid temperatures below 14°F or above 140°F. Do not leave the battery in a hot car.

Note: Leaving the battery installed on the bicycle for long-term storage is not recommended.

Troubleshooting

Issue

Most Common Solutions
