  • How do I adjust the handlebar alignment?

    There are two screws on the handlebar stem (just below where it folds), which will need to be loosened. Having loosened these screws, it will now be possible to realign your handlebars to the front wheel. 

    There is a third screw inside the fold hinge, which adjusts the preloading on the headset bearings - do not adjust this screw unless the headset is loose.

    Please be careful when adjusting your bike; if you are unsure please seek help from a qualified bike mechanic.

  • How do I change the brake pads?

    The brake pads are fundamental to your safety when on the bike. We recommend you take your bike to a qualified bicycle technician to have them replaced.

  • How do I change the height of the seat?

    Release the clamp at the base of the seat posts. It will then slide up and down freely. Be sure to keep a firm grip and make sure you don't overextend it past the max line.

  • How do I charge my battery?

    Simply take the battery out and plug it into a mains socket using our dedicated charging pack.

  • How do I clean my bike?

    We recommend wiping the bike down first with a wet sponge and using a soft brush to clean the tyres. You can buy suitable bike cleaning kits with different styles of brushes online and from your local bike shop.

    However, an old toothbrush can work well to remove the dirt around some of the more difficult areas, like the chainrings and cranks. Bike cleaner is useful to get rid of the more stubborn dirt. If you degrease the chain and keeper, make sure you reapply the lubricant. Make sure the bike is wiped dry and left somewhere to air dry easily.

    Do not use high-pressure water or air hoses for cleaning.

    Do not wash the e-bike components with excessive water.

  • How do I fold my folding electric bike?

    Our guide will teach you how to fold your Axon Rides electric bike to get it ready for transport or storage.

  • How do I know the charge level of the battery in my bike?

    Once the bike is fully charged the power adapter charge light will go green. There are a series of lights on the ECO model handlebars that light up to tell how much energy is left in your battery. There is a full battery indicator on the display screen on the PRO models.

  • How do I lubricate the chain?

    We recommend you clean and lubricate the chain regularly to maintain the ease of pedalling and improve the life of the components. We recommend that you clean your chain first; this can be done with a lint free cloth or rag or a specialist chain cleaning tool. Carefully wipe the chain down until most of the dirt is gone before reapplying some bike chain lubricant, being careful not to get any lubricant on the disc brakes or rotors.

  • How do I unfold my folding electric bike?


    Unfolding your Axon Ride electric bike is fast and simple (when you know how).Take a look at our guide here.

  • How long does it take to charge the battery?

    It takes 3.5 hours to charge your ebike battery from empty to full.

  • What is the gear ratio on my Axon rides bike?

    The gear ratio is the difference between the front chainring and rear sprocket; it determines how hard/fast your bike is to pedal.

    The front chainring has 52 teeth, and the rear sprocket has 14 teeth. This gives a gear ratio of about 3.7, resulting in you travelling about 4.5 metres per revolution of the crank (or about 60 gear inches).

    This gives a good balance between speed and ease of pedalling.

  • What is the IP rating of the bike

    Our bikes are splashproof in normal rain. But because they are not waterproof, due to moving parts.

  • What pressure should I pump the tyre to?

    The pressure should be around 250 KPa (36 PSI). If the pressure is too low, it may cause the tyre to pinch, and you will get a flat. The more you weigh, the higher your tyre pressure needs to be. Higher tyre pressure will lower the rolling resistance making the bike easier to cycle, but the trade-off is that it will make the bike less comfortable on unsmooth roads.

    We recommend that you check your tyre pressure regularly.

  • What size does the bike fold down to?

    Axon Rides electric bikes fold down to just 25 x 64 x 76.5cm

  • Where can I get spare parts from?

  • Where should I store my bike

    It’s best to keep your bike indoors in a dry environment.

  • Why does the bike go from 2 bars worth of battery to flat?

    The display indicator estimates the amount of battery remaining based on usage. The last 2 bars last twice as long as a single bar and will then go from 2 to 0. Recharge when it reaches two bars to avoid running out of power while riding. Mileage varies based on factors like rider weight, road conditions, and assist level.
    6 Bars => Full Battery
    4 Bars => Medium
    2 Bars => Low Battery, Require Charging.
