Heybike Mars 3.0 FAQs: Everything You Need to Know
The Heybike Mars 3.0 is a versatile folding electric bike, one that is ideal for daily commuting and endurance riding.

It is an upgraded version of the Mars 2.0, which means that it offers a wide range of enhancements. These include an upgraded sensor, a longer-lasting battery, and even a more streamlined folding mechanism. But that’s just scratching the surface.

To help you become acquainted with everything that the Mars 3.0 has to offer, let us answer some common questions about this exciting new entry in the Heybike range.

What are the Main Differences Between the Heybike Mars 3.0 and Mars 2.0 750W?

The Mars 3.0 is an upgraded version of the Mars 2.0 750W. That means it comes with a wide range of improvements over the previous version. For example, it swaps out the cadence sensor for a torque sensor. The result is a smoother pedal feel and a more consistent delivery of pedal assistance from the electric motor.

Moreover, the Mars 3.0 has a higher travel range than the previous model, increasing the travel range from 45 miles to 65 miles. Another notable difference is the inclusion of a full suspension system. Aside from the hydraulic front fork, the Mars 3.0 also has a rear Horst-link suspension. This means greater support and comfort in the saddle on rough terrain.

Here is a side-by-side comparison of the differences between the two models.

Is the Mars 3.0 Battery Easy to Remove for Charging?

The Mars 3.0 has a removable battery. This means that the battery can be recharged separately from the frame. This is ideal for situations where it may be inconvenient or not possible to recharge the battery when it is secured into the frame.

The battery can still be recharged when it is secured into the frame. Simply plug the charger into the Mars 3.0’s charging port located on the frame.

How Long Does the Mars 3.0 Battery Last on a Full Charge?

The Mars 3.0 is a reliable companion for long-distance riding. It has a maximum travel range of 65 miles (110 km). This estimate is based on making moderate use of the pedal assist system (PAS). Travel range may vary based on the PAS level, terrain, incline, and riding style.

How Quickly Can the Mars 3.0 Accelerate From a Complete Stop to 20 mph?

Equipped with a powerful 750W hub motor, the Mars 3.0 can go from a complete stop to 20 mph – and in only 6 seconds. This makes the Mars 3.0 ideal for climbing steep hills and keeping up with stop-start traffic.

Can I Convert the Mars 3.0 to a Class 3 or Class 1 Ebike?

Yes, you can adjust the settings on the Mars 3.0 to fit the specifications of a Class 1 or Class 3 electric bike. This is achieved by adjusting the settings on either the TFT color display or the Heybike app.

By default, the Mars 3.0 is set to Class 2 specifications. To set it to a Class 1, disable the throttle and set the top speed to 20 mph. To set it to a Class 3, disable the throttle and unlock the top speed to 28 mph.

What Improvements Have Been Made to the Mars 3.0 Suspension Design?

The Mars 3.0 has an improved suspension system, offering greater comfort and support on uneven terrain. Like the Mars 2.0, the Mars 3.0 has an adjustable hydraulic front fork. But it also has a rear Horst-link suspension system, offering superior comfort in the saddle for endurance riding.

What Safety Features Are Included on the Mars 3.0?

The Mars 3.0 has a wide range of safety features to improve rider confidence. These ebike safety features include a front light with a horn, and a tail light with a brake light and turn signals. These features help improve rider visibility in low-light conditions, including at night and in heavy fog. The Mars 3.0 also has a kickstand to help keep the frame upright on its own.

How Do You Adjust the PAS Level and Top Speed on the Mars 3.0?

You can adjust the PAS level and top speed on the Mars 3.0 via the TFT color display and Heybike app. Go to Advanced Settings. Then adjust the speed limit and switch between 3 levels and 5 levels of pedal assist.

Is the Mars 3.0 Waterproof?

The Mars 3.0 has a water protection rating of IPX5 for the whole bike, which is an improvement of the Mars 2.0’s IPX4 rating. The IP65-rated battery, motor, display, and controller can resist rain, dust, and splashes, ensuring a worry-free ride in various weather conditions.

However, the Mars 3.0 is not completely waterproof. That means it should not be submerged in or exposed to substantial water pressure.

How Long is the Mars 3.0’s Warranty?

For the original purchaser, Heybike provides a 2-year warranty for the Mars 3.0, excluding all wear and tear items. The warranty begins on the day that the original purchaser receives the ebike.
