Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or a beginner, assembling your new AIPAS M1 Pro can seem daunting at first. This comprehensive guide breaks down each step clearly, ensuring your bike is ready for the road quickly and safely.

Unboxing and Initial Preparation

What’s Inside the APASS M1 Pro Box?

Upon opening your box, you will find the following components neatly packed:

• The APASS M1 Pro bike frame
• Front tire and fender
• Phone holder
• Lock
• Pedals (right and left labeled)
• Owner’s manual and tool kit
• Rear rack
• Charger
• Seat
• Zip ties for cable management
• Front reflector and small parts for assembly

Unboxing Tips

Cut through the staples on the box carefully to open it fully. Either lift the bike out if you have enough strength or slice open the box for easier access. Once opened, remove all packing materials—especially around sensitive parts like the display and derailleur.

Step-by-Step Assembly Instructions

1. Removing and Charging the Battery

The battery is secured by a blue zip tie and locked in place with keys. Follow these steps:

• Cut the zip ties and insert the key to unlock the battery.
• Release the battery by pressing the tab and turn it to free it from the bike.
• Plug the battery into the charger—red light indicates charging, green means fully charged.

Charging the battery while assembling other parts saves time.

2. Aligning and Adjusting the Stem

Before finishing the front assembly, you must ensure the stem faces forward. To adjust:

• Use the Allen wrench (provided) to loosen the bolts on the stem—one on the bottom and one on top.
• Rotate the stem to face forward, then retighten.

3. Installing Handlebars and Brackets

• Remove the bracket bolts with the Allen wrench. Keep these bolts safe for reinstallation.
• Align the handlebars so that the brake levers and shifters face forward.
• Attach the bracket over the handlebars and loosely tighten bolts in a cross pattern to ensure even pressure.
• Fine-tune the handlebar angle before fully tightening all bolts.

4. Attaching the Display Unit

• Use the smallest Allen key to remove bolts on the display clamp.
• Place the display on the handlebar and secure it by reattaching and tightening bolts.
• Leave bolts slightly loose for minor adjustments post-assembly.

Installing Wheels and Front Accessories

5. Preparing the Bike for Front Wheel Installation

• Remove packing bolts and nut fasteners holding the fork guard in place using a number 12 wrench.
• Remove the covers on both sides of the front wheel axle.

6. Mounting the Front Tire

• Make sure the disc brake rotor is on the left side.
• Slide the rotor carefully between brake pads and fit the axle into the fork holes.
• Place the washers with tabs matching corresponding fork holes, add nuts, and tighten both sides with a number 15 wrench.
• Spin the wheel to check for brake noise or rubbing; adjust if necessary.

7. Attaching the Front Fender and Headlight

• Remove necessary bolts from the front fork using a number 10 wrench and Allen wrench to accommodate the fender and light.
• Install the rear of the fender on the fork first and attach the headlight at the front.
• Use washers and nuts from the packing and bolt everything securely, including the side support arms.
• Make sure the brake cable routes behind the fender arms on the brake side.

Final Assembly Steps

8. Installing Pedals

• Pedals are marked ‘R’ for right and ‘L’ for left with arrows indicating thread direction.
• Remove protective stickers before fitting each pedal.
• Use a number 15 wrench to thread the pedals carefully and snug them tightly.

9. Securing the Rear Rack

• Remove tabs from the rear rack mounting holes.
• Using the provided bolts, attach the rack starting with the front two then the rear two bolts. Hand-tighten first.
• Tighten all bolts firmly once aligned.

10. Cable Management

• Use provided zip ties to route and secure wiring neatly along the rear rack and frame.
• Avoid wire contact with spinning tires to prevent damage.

11. Tire Inflation

• Tires come partially inflated at about 10 PSI.
• Inflate to a max of 20 PSI for optimal performance and comfort, especially important for a full suspension bike like the APASS M1 Pro.

Adjusting and Finalizing Your APASS M1 Pro Bike

12. Adjusting Handlebars and Display Posture

• Bring the display and control pad back to the front and tighten bolts partially.
• Sit on the bike and ensure the stem and handlebars line up perfectly with the front tire.
• Make minor adjustments as necessary before fully tightening all bolts.

13. Completing Battery Installation

• Insert the fully charged battery back into the frame with the red button facing the correct way (button on top).
• Click the battery firmly into place using both hands.
• The battery can be charged in place through a flap close to the charging port, which also controls power to the bike.
