Overview

The Heybike Mars Electric Bike is a foldable electric bicycle designed for versatile use, offering both pedal-assist and pure electric modes. It is equipped with fat tires, a suspension fork, and a rear rack, making it suitable for various terrains and carrying small loads.

Function Description

The Heybike Mars functions as an electric bicycle, providing assistance to the rider through a motor. It features an LCD display that shows important riding data such as speed, distance (trip and odometer), battery level, and pedal-assist level. The bike can be operated in several modes:

  • Pedal-Assist Mode (PAS): The motor provides assistance as the rider pedals, with adjustable levels (0-3) to control the amount of power. Level 0 means no pedal assistance, while Level 3 provides the highest assistance.
  • Pure Electric Mode: The bike can be propelled solely by the throttle, without the need for pedaling. This is useful for effortless cruising or when the rider needs a break from pedaling.
  • Walking Mode: This mode provides a low-speed assist, making it easier to push the bike when dismounted.

The bike is designed with a folding mechanism, allowing for compact storage and easier transport. It includes a removable battery for convenient charging and enhanced security. Safety features include front and rear brakes, a headlight, taillight, and an electric horn.

Usage Features

Assembly and Setup: The Heybike Mars arrives mostly pre-assembled, with a user manual and tools provided for the remaining assembly steps. Key assembly steps include:

  • Unfolding the bike: Carefully unfold the frame and secure the latch.
  • Handlebar adjustment: Insert the stem into the front frame, align it with the tire, and tighten the screws. The handlebar can be folded for storage.
  • Seatpost adjustment: Adjust the seat height for comfortable pedaling, ensuring the seatpost is not raised beyond the minimum insertion marking. The quick-release lever allows for easy adjustment.
  • Pedal installation: Thread the right pedal clockwise and the left pedal counter-clockwise onto the cranks, then tighten with an Allen wrench.
  • Suspension Fork Adjustment: The suspension fork can be adjusted for comfort and efficiency. The lockout lever (on the right side) can be turned counter-clockwise to lock out the suspension for a rigid ride, or clockwise to unlock it. The preload adjustment knob (on the left side) can be turned counter-clockwise to soften the ride or clockwise to stiffen it.

Battery and Charging: The battery is removable for charging on or off the bike. To remove the battery, the key is rotated to the UNLOCK position, and the battery is slid upwards. To reinstall, align the battery with the slot and turn the key to the locked position. Charging involves connecting the charger to the battery's charging port and then to a power outlet. The LED indicator on the charger turns red during charging and green when fully charged. It's recommended to fully charge the battery before the first use and to charge it every other month to preserve its life.

Operation:

  • Turning on/off: Insert the key and turn it clockwise to the ON position. Hold down the center power button on the LCD display for approximately 2 seconds to turn on the bike. Hold the same button to turn it off.
  • Pedal Assist Level: Use the "+" and "-" buttons on the display remote to select the desired pedal assist level (0-3).
  • Throttle: The throttle is used by slowly and carefully rotating it backward towards the rider. It should only be used when mounted on the bike to prevent accidental acceleration.
  • Headlight/Taillight: Press the designated button on the light remote to turn on/off the lights.
  • Electric Bell: Press the designated button to activate the electric bell.
  • LCD Display Controls: The display allows toggling between odometer and trip odometer, turning on the backlight, and activating walking mode.
  • Setting Mode: Access the setting mode by pressing and holding specific buttons simultaneously. This allows for personalized settings such as clearing trip data (TC MODE), adjusting backlight level (BL MODE), and selecting speed units (MPH to KPH). Advanced personalized settings, including voltage, speed, and power sensor settings, can also be accessed.
