WORKING PRINCIPLE

MX5 uses LG lithium batteries as a power source and a quiet DC motor as a driving mechanism. The motor is built directly into the wheel (known as a HUB motor) and the detachable battery is discreetly hidden in the frame. Early e-bike models have pedal assist generally, yet due to weight/performance concerns, MX5, a 3rd generation electric powered foldable e-bike does not have pedal assist. Instead has a powerful BLDC HUB motor with cutting edge touches.

Airbike MX5 is a fully electric bike, except its futuristic and authentic design, basic bicycle riding principles apply. All you need to do is keeping your balance and operating throttle grip smoothly. MX5 does not have any pedals like stereotypes and riding MX5 feels more like riding a motorcycle.
