4. Setup and Assembly

Your Nilox J1 PRO ORANGE electric bike arrives partially assembled. Follow these steps to complete the assembly:

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for future transport or storage.
2. Handlebar Installation: Insert the handlebar stem into the fork tube and tighten the securing bolts. Ensure the handlebar is straight and aligned with the front wheel.
3. Seat and Seat Post Installation: Insert the seat post into the frame's seat tube. Adjust the height to a comfortable riding position and secure it with the quick-release lever.
4. Front Fender and Light Installation: Attach the front fender to the fork. Mount the front LED light to the designated bracket on the front fork or handlebar.
