Unboxing Your AIPAS M2 Pro

Inspecting the Package

Before diving into assembly, always inspect the box for any damage during shipping. The AIPAS M2 Pro comes well-packed, with protective staples and flaps designed to keep the bike safe. Carefully open the box by lifting the flaps or cutting through the sides if needed.

Contents of the Box

Inside you will find:

• APASS M2 Pro frame
• Rear rack with integrated tail light
• Seat and seat post
• Battery charger and keys
• Pedals (left and right)
• Front wheel and fender
• Phone holder
• Front headlight

Initial Battery Setup and Charging

Removing the Battery

Locate the blue zip tie on the battery compartment, which holds your keys. Use the key to unlock and partially eject the battery by spinning the key forward and flicking the release tab. Carefully pull out the battery.

Charging Instructions

Plug the charger into the battery first, then into a wall outlet. The charger will show a red light while charging and turn green once fully charged. It’s recommended to charge the battery fully before beginning your first ride.

Step-by-Step Assembly Process

Adjusting the Stem and Handlebar

1. Positioning the Stem
   Use an Allen wrench to loosen the two bolts on the stem clamp. Rotate the stem to face forward, then tighten the bolts just enough to hold the stem in place.
2. Installing the Handlebars
   Remove the handlebar bracket bolts. Position the handlebars so the control pad is on the inside and brake levers on the outside, centering the grooved area. Replace the bracket and tighten bolts in a crisscross pattern, allowing slight movement for final adjustments.

Mounting the Display

Remove bolts from the display clamps using a small Allen wrench. Attach the display to the handlebar with the sticker facing downwards. Tighten bolts just enough to allow minor adjustments during your first ride.

Installing the Seat and Seat Post

1. Attach Seat to Seat Post
   Align the seat post so the lip fits flush at the bottom, with adjustment lines facing backward. Hand tighten the bolts for now.
2. Insert Seat Post into Frame
   Use the quick-release lever to insert the seat post into the frame’s seat tube. Adjust height to comfort, then tighten the lever and dial to secure.

Installing the Front Wheel and Brake Setup

Preparing the Front Wheel

Remove protective covers from the rotor and both sides of the wheel. Remove nuts and washers from the axle.

Installing the Wheel

Slide the rotor between the brake pads and align the axle with the fork mounts. Place washers—note the tabbed washer fits inside the fork’s hole. Tighten nuts on both sides with a wrench, ensuring the wheel spins freely without rubbing.

Attaching the Front Fender and Headlight

1. Remove bolts and nuts from the fork where the fender and headlight mount.
2. Slide the front fender tab into place and attach the headlight to the front of the fork.
3. Insert bolts and washers through the fender and headlight mounts and hand tighten.
4. Adjust the fender so it is slightly raised above the tire, preventing rub.
5. Tighten all bolts securely once aligned.

Installing Pedals

• Identify right ® and left (L) pedals.
• Hand-thread the right pedal clockwise into the crank arm; the left pedal tightens counterclockwise.
• Use a wrench to snugly tighten each pedal, ensuring a secure fit.

Rear Fender and Rack Installation

Rear Fender

Remove bolts from the rear fender mounts on both sides. Remove any plastic protectors, then align the fender tabs with holes and reattach bolts. Hand tighten first, then fully tighten once aligned.

Rear Rack

Remove rubber protectors to access mounting holes. Remove bolts from mounting points. Align the rack and insert bolts with washers, hand tightening to allow alignment. Connect the tail light wiring by threading cables through the zip tie loops on the rack and snapping connectors together. Secure wiring with the provided zip ties. Finally, tighten all bolts snugly.

Final Adjustments and Safety Checks

Seat Adjustment

Adjust the seat height and angle to your preference. Use a wrench to tighten bolts firmly once comfortable.

Inflate Tires

Inflate tires to a maximum of 20 PSI for optimal performance. The bike may arrive with about 13 PSI. Higher pressure improves efficiency, while lower pressure offers more cushioning.

Aligning the Stem and Handlebars

Loosen stem bolts slightly and align the front tire by holding it steady between your legs. Tighten bolts securely. Adjust the handlebar position for comfort, loosening and tightening the four handlebar bolts as needed in a crisscross pattern.

Display Positioning

Adjust the handlebar-mounted display to a comfortable viewing angle. Tighten bolts just enough to hold it in place but allow minor adjustments after your first ride.

Powering On and Ready to Ride

Once the battery is fully charged, slide it back into the frame, lock it in place, and open the battery panel. Press the power button on the battery, then the display’s power button to turn on the system. Your AIPAS M2 Pro is now ready for its first ride.

Conclusion

Assembling your AIPAS M2 Pro is a straightforward process when following these detailed steps. Taking the time to properly set up your bike ensures safety, comfort, and optimal performance. With the battery charged, tires inflated, and all components firmly installed, you’re all set to enjoy your new electric bike.
