- Testing the power assistance levels 1-5 on the Shengmilo MX03 fat e-bike using only the throttle!
The Shengmilo MX03 e-bike was purchased at an amazing all inclusive discounted price direct from the Chinese manufacturers by using the following link to www.shengmilo-bikes.com/disco.... There was great communication in English with the bike arriving surprisingly quickly without the additional Brexit customs or delivery charges to Highlands of Scotland!
The video footage was taken on the Insta360 One X2 and the tiny Insta360 Go2 cameras đ
You have convinced me, I am buying one. Thank you for posting the ideos
Thanks for the feedback, glad you find the videos useful, youâll have fun with the bike đČđ
fenomenal video ron fantastico me encanta la mx03s sigue regalandonos estos maravillosos videos un saludo jesus de españa
Nice review, and awesome bike. I have some doubts on the 7 speeds . Is that enough? If you go really fast can you still keep paddling and if you go on technical trails how is the peddle speed?
The bike's are now definitely geared for road use rather than off-road use which only becomes apparent once the ground becomes a lot steeper/more technical and you need more torque at lower revs. The bike's originally had 21 gears with 3 gear ratios on the crank but now has just one chainring with around 52/54 teeth which is good for speeds of over 30mph on the road. However on narrow trails it could do with lower gear ratios and I've now replaced the crank and chainring with a replaceable 38 tooth one which now makes going up the hill tracks here a lot easier but limits the top end to just over 20mph before ghost pedalling! I was originally going to get a 32 chainring and might try a 32 oval one but fear it would affect the top end to much without going for more gears and a new cassette! It's very easy to customise as all the bike parts are pretty standard.
@@RonWalkerCairngormGuides thanks a lot for your detailed answer. Much appreciated.
Does this bike have any problems with the throttle cutting out? I saw in some reviews people said it would cut out after a minute or 2 and you had to pedal to recharge it.
Not had a problem when the battery is charged. Also as far as I know you can't recharge the battery by pedalling though by pedaling you'll obviously put less drain on the battery!
Can I ask, are the logos on the side frame of the bike stickers that can be peeled off or are they part of the frame?
I think the stickers can be peeled of the black frame! Why do you ask?
@@RonWalkerCairngormGuides thanks! Iâve always preferred a cleaner look with my bikes so tend to peel off any logo stickers.
Thank you, very nice ride in the countryside, may I ask whats the weights limit on this eBike, please? Than you.
According to the website itâs 180 kg! See www.shengmilo-bikes.com/products/shengmilo-mx03-electric-bike-48v-1000w-for-adults-fat-tire-mountain-bike-with-xod-front-and-rear-hydraulic-brake-system
I went for my first 5 mile ride yesterday and I must admit that the bike needs more gears, I saw that you changed the front cog to get more torque, what did you put on in the end?
I mentioned it in the video when I changed the front crank ring!
Hi Ron, I am a student. I would like to buy this bike and I want your advice because I saw some videos that this bike has malfunctions in the screen, the motor, etc. I would like you to advise me to buy it or not
Hi Ron I checked the voltage 46.7 plugged in the battery to charge how many hours dose it take to go green
Leave it on until the charger turns green, allow at least 8 hours maybe more!
Left the 21 gears on the MX01 as it is a full suspension bike and much better off road than the MX02. I did the mod to the controller on this bike and have done over 500Km with no problems. Bike now is way more responsive and great for climbing steep hills and taking off at traffic lights
How did you mod it? Thanks

I have replace the controller with the kt25a and is much better that stock
MX01, 02S and MX03 all use the same controller. I didn't mod the controller in my MX02S as I use it mostly on flat roads for commuting. Just changed the front sprocket to a single 56T like the MX03 so no ghost pedaling.
Out of interest how many teeth has the original sprocket got and if you lived in a very hilly off-road area what would you change the sprocket to or would you add a two or three sprocket crank set?
@@RonWalkerCairngormGuides 42T on largest sprocket, the two smaller sprockets are not really required
Ron, did you do anything regarding puncture proofing? I have seen some use slime in the inner tubes, not sure I like that idea. Would like to go full tubeless but that comes with issues too.
not yet but bought the green slime!
@@RonWalkerCairngormGuides Just about to slime my tubes, cant do any harm, and might help until I go full tubeless.
@@RonWalkerCairngormGuides Just tried the slime in mine, blocked the valve hole...... its going back.
A tip for ya Ron, remove the core, then I had to ream the valve hole there it enters the tube with a 2 mm drill bit. looking at the rims and tyres, I think tubeless is a non starter for mine.
@@amagnu100 obviously not as straight forward as it's made out to be! So have you knackered the inner tubes or can you still use them with the slime?
I am hoping to pick mine up on Wednesday, cant wait. I will be swapping the bars out for wider ones, I find you have more control with the extra leverage.
Picking it up, is it not being delivered?
@@RonWalkerCairngormGuides found a UK supplier, was worried about getting one from China.
@@amagnu100 I recently purchased the MX02s from a UK supplier next day delivery. But I coughed up 80 quid lol Yeah cheaper to pick it up, But I got too much going on and my budget was 1800 anyway - The bike was 1700 so job done.
@@danimayb didnt fancy the mx03 then.
@@amagnu100 The MX2 swung me in the end. I like the rack, and the battery is a cheaper to replace or a secondary one in future.
Hi. Can you help. Im after one of these i can only find supplier on ebay from Poland. Did you obtain yours from them.
The European and UK warehouse is in Poland!
Hello. Is your mx03 still working? have you got any problems with it?
Not used it over the winter but still working despite the battery being left discharged over the summer or left fully charged for months over the winter when not used. I initially had problems with the battery connections but itâs a well known issue thatâs been sorted in later models and easily avoided if you donât use it continuously on throttle when going up hill! The newer models should be better though they donât have the 4 inch fat tyres which are good for the off-road tracks here and some donât have hydraulic brakes!
when you stop pedaling, the bike slows down?
I don't know if this is normal ...
Unless you are going downhill! ;-)
Hi. Are the mudguards any good?
Front one has been fine but rear used to rattle over rough ground and can hit the wheel which can bend the steel bracket if you hit any big bumps causing the wheel to rub against the plastic mudguard. I took mine off when I got a rack as that provides plenty of protection. You could easily attach the mudguard onto the rear rack if you have one.
@@RonWalkerCairngormGuides Thanks Ron...
Hi Ron could you please leave a link for the new pedals you put on your mx03 regards thomas

Hi Ron just a quick note about a very important subject I've been watching a fair few videos of e bike battery catching fire and exploding with devastating consequences do you have any concerns about the battery were using on the mx03 have you done any research into this yourself it seems to be on the rise id like to hear your thoughts on this subject kind regards thomas
@@thomasryan4124 I've not seen these videos on exploding e-bike batteries though plenty on exploding smart phones, tablets and cars! In any case you need to be careful with all Li batteries and not overcharge or puncture and stick to genuine parts!! Do you have a link?
All the videos are on CZcams if you type in the search bar e bike batterys exploding a building in nyc when on fire from a battery exploding
whatâs the fastest this bike can go
40 kmh only accelerator/ 50 kmh with pedal assist (with a good leg)
How many miles will you get from just using the trottle. Just say somone who weighs around 75 to 80kg
Don't really know as I mainly use PAS 1 and 2 to get the maximum out of the battery and only use the throttle occasionally. The mileage you get depends on how much pedal assistance you use, the terrain and how hilly it is. We don't have much flat terrain here so it's either uphill or downhill!
Are all of these equipped with a throttle originally? I thought that wasn't legal?
Depends where and how you use it. I use mine off road and the odd cycle track and rarely go above 15 mph. Having said that because of the 30 Kg (approx) weight the throttle would be pretty essential for a steep hill start if you are not extremely fit or if you have injuries, disabilities or are just decrepit like me!
whats the camera on your hat please
All filmed on the tiny Insta360 Go2 camera!
@@RonWalkerCairngormGuides cheers Ron ..looks great
If you do the controller mod the bike has loads more torque and acceleration, great for hills and taking off at traffic lights
Thanks Mick Iâve thought about it but worry about trashing the motor and warranty, so maybe in a year or soâs time! How did you do yours and how do you find it, has it impacted on how far you can go on a full battery charge?
Curious about this too how do you do the controller mod and is it actually safe?
can you detect how many amps it delivers after changing the controller? the mx 03 has a very good battery, a good 1000w motor (I don't know if peak or continuous), but an underpowered controller that gives the motor about 450 watts of power. (9 amps continuous at 48 volts: 9x 48 = 432watts). I am thinking of replacing the controller with a 30a kt controller, which delivers 15a continuous and 30a peak so as to have more torque and a continuous use of about 750watt. but if you want there is also one from 40a peak and 20 to continuous, but with this I am afraid of burning everything. can you tell me how many amps your bike is delivering in these 500km you've done? thank you
What size is ur frame on ur ebike
17 inch frame with 26 inch fat tyres
Hi, I am 5â 8â would this size suit me, please? Not rode a bike for some 30+ years but looking to get one for retirement and eBike appears to be perfect, if I get knackered peddling. Great video Ron! đ
@@rayerdinc2441 I'm 5'8 too, so should be OK!
@@RonWalkerCairngormGuides Thank you.
how do you change it to mph
Should be info on CZcams and the manual but will get back to you if you can't find it!

Is it downhill all the way??
It's uphill all the way until the tarmac road!
Hi all. Ive got the exact same bike and i bet you didn't know that it has a mode where you can access the '9 Gears mode'. You gotta access the menu by pressing down both up and down arrow to access the P menu. Go to P5 and press 2 and voila. U have 9 gears and it makes the ebike much faster than having either 3 or 5 gears... And if you wanna make it even faster then go to P menu 14 and change the amp settings from whatever it is to 18 amps then go to P18 and adjust speed ratio to 150 and viola.. Now the bike will take you to 36mph on the flat using just throttle and over 40mph with some peddle assist in gear 9... ENJOY AND DONT FORGET TO THANK ME. đ
BTW this video sold the bike to me :)
Hopefully it lives up to your expectations! Let me know how you get on?
