4. Setup and Initial Checks

Your Nilox K10 Plus is largely pre-assembled. Follow these steps for final setup and initial safety checks:

1. Unfolding (if applicable): If your model is foldable, carefully unfold the frame and secure all locking mechanisms. Ensure the handlebar stem is upright and locked into position.
2. Handlebar Adjustment: Adjust the handlebar height and angle to a comfortable riding position. Ensure all quick-release levers are securely tightened.
3. Pedal Installation: Identify the left (L) and right (R) pedals. Thread the pedals into the crank arms by hand, then tighten securely with a wrench. Note that the left pedal has a reverse thread.
4. Tire Pressure: Check the tire pressure using a gauge. Inflate to the recommended pressure indicated on the tire sidewall. Fat tires typically require lower pressure than standard bike tires.
5. Brake Check: Squeeze both brake levers to ensure they engage properly and stop the wheels effectively. Adjust cable tension if necessary.
6. Battery Installation & Charging: Insert the fully charged battery into its compartment and lock it securely with the key. Ensure the battery is fully charged before your first ride. Refer to the 'Battery Information' section for charging instructions.

5. Components Overview

Familiarize yourself with the main components of your Nilox K10 Plus e-bike:

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Powering On/Off

• To power on the e-bike, press and hold the power button on the LCD display until the screen illuminates.
• To power off, press and hold the power button again until the display turns off.

6.2 LCD Display and Riding Modes

The LCD display provides information such as speed, distance, battery level, and assistance level. Use the '+' and '-' buttons to cycle through the 5 available riding modes (levels of pedal assistance). A higher number indicates more motor assistance.

6.3 Shifting Gears

Your Nilox K10 Plus is equipped with a SHIMANO 6-speed gear system. Use the shifter located on the handlebar to change gears. Shift to a lower gear for easier pedaling on inclines and a higher gear for faster speeds on flat terrain. Always ease off the pedals slightly when shifting to ensure smooth transitions.

6.4 Braking

The e-bike features dual disc brakes for reliable stopping power. The right lever typically controls the rear brake, and the left lever controls the front brake. Apply both brakes simultaneously for effective and controlled stopping. Avoid sudden, hard braking with only the front brake, especially at high speeds, to prevent loss of control.

6.5 Lights

The integrated LED lights enhance visibility. Operate them via the controls on the handlebar or display, as per your model's specific design. Ensure they are on when riding in low light or at night.

7. Battery Information

The Nilox K10 Plus uses a removable 36V – 10Ah Lithium-ion battery.

7.1 Charging the Battery

1. Ensure the e-bike is powered off.
2. The battery can be charged either on or off the bike. To remove, unlock the battery with the provided key and slide it out.
3. Connect the charger to the battery's charging port, then plug the charger into a standard wall outlet.
4. The charger's indicator light will typically show red during charging and turn green when fully charged.
5. Charging time may vary, but typically takes several hours for a full charge. Do not overcharge.
6. Once charged, disconnect the charger from the outlet and then from the battery.

7.2 Battery Care and Storage

• Store the battery in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• If storing for extended periods, charge the battery to approximately 50-70% every 2-3 months to maintain its health.
• Do not expose the battery to water or moisture.
• Only use the charger provided by Nilox.

8. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the safety and performance of your e-bike.

8.1 Cleaning

Clean your e-bike regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using high-pressure washers directly on electrical components, bearings, or the motor.

8.2 Tires

Check tire pressure before each ride. The 20" x 4" fat tires require specific pressures, usually lower than standard tires. Inspect tires for wear, cuts, or embedded objects.

8.3 Brakes

Regularly inspect brake pads for wear and replace them when necessary. Ensure brake levers operate smoothly and provide adequate stopping power. Check disc rotors for damage or warping.

8.4 Chain

Keep the chain clean and lubricated. A well-maintained chain reduces wear on gears and improves shifting performance.

8.5 Fasteners

Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and quick-release levers to ensure they are securely tightened.
