NILOX PEDAL ASSISTED BIKE

Dear Customer, Thank you for choosing a "NILOX" electrically assisted pedal bike, entirely designed and assembled in Italy following the international quality standard EN15194:2018 and compliant with directives 2006/42/EC; 2014/30/EU; 2011/65/EU. Electrically Power Assisted Cycles (EPAC) are

excluded from the European Directive 2013/168/EU, relating to the approval of two- and three-wheeled motor vehicles, and comply with the requirements prescribed in Article 50 of the Highway Code. This definition excludes the possibility of operating the electric motor independently of pedaling, generally excluding the possibility of moving by activating a throttle. The functional characteristics required by Italian and European regulations for EPAC are as follows.

• the assistance of the electric motor must be provided only when the cyclist pedals in the direction of travel.
  • the assistance stops as soon as the cyclist stops pedaling in the direction of travel.
  • according to safety standards, the assistance of the motor stops when the brakes are applied.
• the assistance gradually reduces and eventually ceases when the vehicle reaches the maximum speed of 25 km/h.

USER AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Gradually familiarize yourself with your bicycle, its equipment, and safety features, and practice until you are confident in using it correctly.

Knowing your bicycle's characteristics well and observing common rules of correctness and common sense can help you feel safer during its use. Do not lend the vehicle to those who cannot handle it. The vehicle should not be used by minors. Ride cautiously; pay attention to other cyclists and distracted motorists. Ride without exceeding your physical limits. Always wear a protective helmet. Periodically check the mechanics of your bicycle. It is advisable to recharge the battery after each use. If not recharged, the battery could be damaged. If the bicycle is not used for long periods, charge the battery at least once a month. Before using the pedal-assisted bicycle, ensure you are operating in absolutely safe conditions. Nuts, bolts, locks, and all mechanical components should be tight and not worn and/or damaged. The riding position should be comfortable, carefully adjusting the saddle and handlebar height to ensure a correct riding position. The brakes should be effectively operational. The tires should be inflated to the correct pressure. The pedals should be properly screwed onto the cranks. Your bicycle is designed for use on paved and unpaved roads; it is not suitable for off-road use. In any case, extreme uses can be dangerous and are the sole responsibility of the user in the event of accidents and injuries to themselves or third parties on such occasions. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for such uses of the product. Your bicycle is designed to carry one person at a time and

to tolerate a total weight of about 100 kg. The manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event of accidents due to the simultaneous use of the bicycle by more than one person, or for overloading or even for luggage not securely fastened to suitable racks. The use of trailers and/or rear carts is prohibited. Have the pedal-assisted bicycle checked periodically to ensure proper operation. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that all components guarantee the correct operation of the bicycle. It is important to keep the braking system always efficient and clean from impurities accumulated during road use. The user is warned that they assume personal risk for injuries, damages, and/or losses if the above conditions are violated, and the warranty will automatically expire. Uses different from those for which the EPAC was designed, as well as any intervention that modifies the operation of your EPAC, as described, are punishable and sanctionable by law and expose you to the risk of damage or injury. In no case can the manufacturer be held responsible for accidents or damages resulting from non-compliant uses of the EPAC, or from modifications or interventions made to it.

RULES FOR CIRCULATION

Ensure the battery is securely fixed in its housing and locked with the provided key. Ensure the brakes are working correctly. Ensure the lighting devices are working correctly. By law, the speed of the bicycle during motor-assisted use cannot exceed 25 km/h. In case of fording, ensure the water level does not reach the height of the electric motor. Do not pedal while braking. Avoid continuous braking and restarting to prolong battery life. Ride safely. Always wear a cycle helmet compliant with regulation (EU) 2016/425. Pay attention to traffic regulations. Gradually increase the speed of pedal assistance. Keep pedal assistance active on uphill paths or dirt roads to prolong battery life and motor efficiency. Pay attention to tire pressure and circulation along wet, slippery, dirty paths, and in any case of poor grip; if you encounter the indicated cases, ride slowly or push the bicycle. The maximum load capacity (including the user) is 100 kg, do not exceed the capacity. At the end of the use of the electric bicycle, turn off all switches (first turn off the display and then the battery). Do not leave the bicycle exposed to humidity, rain, or excessive heat. Never subject the bicycle to continuous water jet washing. Do not cover the bicycle with plastic covers.

WARNING

The electric motor of the Bicycle also functions as a current generator. We recommend keeping this in mind and, in case of using the Bicycle downhill, if the slope is steep, slowing down by keeping the Bicycle braked. Besides being a safety issue for the Rider, it will prevent the development of high voltage capable of burning the electric control unit.

OPERATION OF THE PEDAL ASSISTED BICYCLE

This is a PEDAL ASSISTED BICYCLE. This means that, even though it is equipped with an electric motor, it is necessary for the user to pedal as on a normal bicycle for it to function. The electric motor assists the pedaling, making it less tiring and increasing the speed. The bicycle can also be used without motor assistance. The maximum speed achievable with the pedal-assisted bicycle is 25 Km/h. To activate pedal assistance, it is necessary to turn on the bicycle using the switch located on the battery and then press the ON/OFF button on the display; the light indicators on the handlebar display will turn on to indicate that the battery is charged and the bike is ready for use. As the bicycle is used and the battery loses charge, the lights will turn off one by one. Starting to pedal activates the control unit that allows the motor to assist the pedaling. The Shimano 6-speed gear provided allows further adjustment of the pedaling ratio according to one's needs. Pedal assistance stops in case of braking or if pedaling stops (for example, downhill). To reactivate it, simply start pedaling again. During braking, please do not pedal. The indicated range is to be understood with normal use of a bicycle on city and/or town routes. In case of steep climbs and/or carrying heavy objects, the range may significantly decrease. As already specified, being a bicycle, the addition of a throttle is not foreseen. Any decision by the user to introduce a throttle will immediately void the bicycle's warranty and cease its nature as a bicycle. When riding a pedal-assisted electric bicycle, your speed is significantly higher than that of a "normal bicycle." Pay more attention and consider adequate braking spaces.

THE BICYCLE

The bicycle is provided open with the saddle mounted and the handlebar turned. The pedals need to be mounted. The battery is not connected. To insert and connect it correctly, refer to the "positioning" paragraph. Remove the protections, then straighten and adjust the handlebar.

To adjust the handlebar, use a hex key: unlock the expander located in the handlebar stem. Position the handlebar at the desired height and direction. Lock the stem by screwing the expander back in. The STOP line on the stem must not be visible.

PEDAL ASSEMBLY

Screw the pedals onto the crank arms: the RIGHT pedal is marked, on the spindle, with the letter "R"; screw this pedal CLOCKWISE onto the RIGHT crank arm (chain side). The LEFT pedal is marked, on the spindle, with the letter "L"; screw this pedal COUNTERCLOCKWISE onto the LEFT crank arm. Initially screw the pedals by hand, then tighten with the wrench until you reach the end without forcing excessively. WARNING: follow the instructions scrupulously to avoid damaging the pedal and/or crank arm threads. In case of any perceived anomaly in the pedal movement during use, immediately stop pedaling and have the bicycle checked by a competent mechanic.

SADDLE ADJUSTMENT

Correct saddle adjustment is important for body position during pedaling and allows for the best performance with less stress on the joints. Before use, try the bicycle and adjust the saddle height and angle. The saddle height should be adjusted according to leg length. The height is correct if, when seated, you reach the pedal in the lowest position with your heel. The leg should be completely straight. Adjust the height according to these indications. When adjusting the height, always respect the STOP mark on the seat post. THE MARK MUST ALWAYS BE INSERTED INTO THE FRAME TUBE. If you wish to keep the saddle not completely horizontal but with the "nose" slightly raised, you must loosen the clamp under the saddle and adjust the angle. Tighten the clamp again to prevent the saddle from moving. Changes in saddle position, even if small, can affect comfort during pedaling. It is recommended to make only one change at a time and progressively until you find the most comfortable and correct position. Ensure that the nuts of the clamp that adjust the saddle position are well tightened. The bicycle is equipped with a quick-release seat post clamp; to adjust the saddle, open the clamp, raise or lower the seat post to the desired height ensuring that the stop limit is not visible, tighten the quick-release mechanism, and ensure the lever is well tightened.

V-BRAKE ADJUSTMENT

The bicycle is equipped with V-BRAKE model brakes. The right lever controls the rear brake. The left lever controls the front brake. To adjust the V-Brake brakes, it is necessary to maintain about 2mm of distance between the brake pads and the rim. The two pads must touch the rim simultaneously during braking and without touching the tire. The adjustment is made by acting on the adjustment screws present on the brakes. In case of doubts or any perceived anomaly during use, have the bicycle checked by a competent mechanic.

BRAKING

Use the front brake to stop progressively, but do not rely solely on it. Use both brakes (front and rear) for balanced and safe braking. In conditions of rain or mud, make sure to brake earlier to compensate for reduced braking efficiency.

DOWNHILL USE

When riding long descents, avoid holding the brake lever for prolonged periods, as it could overheat the system and reduce braking effectiveness. Brake at intervals to cool the system.

CLEANING AND GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Use a soft, clean cloth to remove mud, dust, and sweat from the pads and disc. Avoid using aggressive chemical solvents that could damage components or reduce braking effectiveness. Use only specific disc brake cleaners. Regularly clean the brake levers to remove accumulated dust and dirt. Never apply

oil or lubricant to the brake discs or pads, as this would severely compromise braking ability. If the hydraulic system appears harder or softer than normal, it may be necessary to add specific hydraulic oil for the type of brake. Avoid overheating. Do not make excessive prolonged use of the brakes, especially downhill. Overheating can compromise the effectiveness of the braking system. Perform periodic inspections to check the wear of the pads, the condition of the discs, and the hydraulic fluid level. Always respect speed limits and adapt your braking to the terrain and traffic conditions. Hydraulic disc brakes are one of the most important elements for the safety of your electric bicycle. Proper use and regular maintenance will ensure optimal performance and long system life. If you have doubts or difficulties with maintenance, do not hesitate to consult a qualified technician.

GEAR ADJUSTMENT

If the chain has difficulty climbing onto the large rear sprocket (gear shift command on the handlebar turned to the maximum), slightly unscrew the B screw, avoiding the chain going beyond the last sprocket. If the chain descends with difficulty onto the small rear sprocket, slightly unscrew the A screw to align the derailleur group on the small sprocket. In case of doubts or any perceived anomaly during use, have the bicycle checked by a competent mechanic.

WHEEL ASSEMBLY WITH HUB WITHOUT QUICK RELEASE

Insert the front wheel hub into the fork; insert the two anti-drop washers, one on each side, ensuring that the tooth fits into the appropriate hole on the fork. Insert and tighten the two nuts, making sure the wheel is centered in the fork. WARNING: before using the bicycle, always check that the wheel is correctly locked to the front fork and the rear dropouts of the frame. If in doubt or if you notice any anomaly during use, have the bicycle checked by a competent mechanic.

FRONT AND REAR LIGHT

The bicycle is equipped with a battery-powered front and rear light system. Both the front and rear lights turn on directly by pressing the switches on the light.

HOW TO USE THE BICYCLE

This electric bicycle is equipped with a "pedal assist system," consisting of a motor, a battery, and a pedal sensor. It is important to know that when the system is on, the motor provides power only while you are pedaling. When you stop pedaling, the motor disengages, and the electric pedal assist ceases. In all pedal-assist bicycles, the motor also disengages and the electric assist stops when the maximum speed allowed for electric bicycles of 25 Km/h is reached. When the speed drops below this value, the electric assist resumes until you stop pedaling.

Even when using the brakes, the electric assist stops.

TURNING ON THE BICYCLE

Turn on the bicycle by pressing the "ON/OFF" button on the display. Start pedaling to activate the pedal assist. It is recommended to start slowly and gradually increase the pedaling speed. The motor only engages while pedaling; stopping pedaling or braking will stop the motor.

TURNING OFF THE BICYCLE

Turn off the bicycle by pressing the "ON/OFF" button on the display. Ensure that the bicycle is turned off when not in use. It is recommended to disconnect the battery.

DISPLAY (The display may vary depending on the chosen setup).

Close-up of a black remote control panel with four buttons and a red power button (no text or symbols visible)

The bicycle is equipped with five levels of pedal assist, selectable on the display. The display is used to turn on the bicycle, view the remaining battery charge, and adjust the pedal assist.

• "ON/OFF" power button _ turns the bicycle on and off
• "F-E" LED _ indicates the remaining battery charge
• "+ / - " button _ selects the pedal assist level
• Level 1
• Level 2
• Level 3
• Level 4
• Level 5

Turning on the motor via the "ON/OFF" button activates the pedal assist system. The assist level is preset to "1," the lowest. To change it: start pedaling and stabilize the speed; press the "+ or - " buttons to adjust the assist to the desired level.

BATTERY CHARGE INDICATION ON THE DISPLAY

When the bicycle motor is turned on and you start pedaling, the icon ("2") on the display indicates the instantaneous charge measured and not the actual available charge. In case of uphill routes, when the motor is more stressed, the indicator may show a reduced remaining charge (the number of bars on the display decreases). When the motor is idle, in case of stopping or coasting (for example, downhill), the indicator may show a higher available charge. Therefore, the best time to realize the remaining charge is when reaching a constant speed on a flat and straight path after stabilizing the battery's work.

RANGE

The range of the bicycle with pedal assist can vary depending on different usage conditions and different weights to be transported. It is estimated to be around 40 km (depending on the chosen setup) and is intended for normal use of a bicycle with medium pedal assist on predominantly flat urban routes. However, the electric motor will consume more power in case of steep climbs, carrying heavy objects, headwinds, as well as repetitive stops and starts, significantly reducing the normally achievable distances.

LITHIUM BATTERY

At the end of each use of the bicycle or if the battery is discharged, proceed to recharge the battery.

• After prolonged use, the battery capacity will slowly decrease.
- Do not leave the battery discharged for a long time (max. 10 days).
- In case of prolonged inactivity of the bicycle, charge the battery at least once a month to avoid compromising its functionality.
• The battery must be kept out of reach of children.
- The crossed-out container symbol indicates that batteries cannot be disposed of in urban waste or abandoned in the environment. Batteries are subject to special collection and must therefore be delivered to the appropriate Recycling Centers.
• Excessive heat damages batteries; therefore, avoid exposure to the sun.
- Avoid subjecting the batteries to impacts.

BATTERY CHARGING TIMES

The battery is supplied partially charged. Fully charge the battery before the first use. A full charge of the lithium battery normally takes 6 hours.

Never leave the battery charging for entire days or nights exceeding the maximum time of 6 hours. The battery could be damaged. When the bicycle is turned on, you can check the remaining charge status by pressing the button next to the indicators. The LEDs light up as follows.

• 4 LEDs on: 100% remaining charge.
• 3 LEDs on: 70% remaining charge.
• 2 LEDs on: 40% remaining charge.
- 1 LED (red) on: up to 15% remaining charge (the battery needs to be recharged as soon as possible).

BATTERY CHARGING

At the end of each use of the bicycle, it is advisable to always recharge the battery. Keeping the battery always charged extends its lifespan. It is necessary to use the supplied charger and follow the instructions provided on it. Do not use other chargers that are not approved by the manufacturer and/or distributor. They could cause damage to the battery and limit its lifespan. Using personal accessories not supplied with the bicycle will automatically void the legal warranty.

The battery can be charged either while it is on the bicycle or after removing it. Before charging the battery, carefully read the following instructions and follow them during the process.

• Use only the supplied charger.
• Keep both the charger and the battery away from children and pets.
• The charging operation must be carried out in a spacious, cool, and dry place; away from direct heat sources and moisture.
• If the charging operation is carried out with the battery housed in the bicycle, ensure that it is firmly and stably on the stand and turned off.
  • During charging, it is normal for the charger to heat up.
• Do not cover the charger.
• Keep the plugs and connectors of the charger and battery always clean and dry.
• Do not wet the charger.

• Do not use the charger and/or battery if they appear damaged.
  • Always connect the charger to the battery first and then to the power outlet.

• Do not carry out the charging process under direct sunlight.

• Do not use the charger for other purposes or other devices.
  • Voltage drops during charging cycles could damage the battery.
  • Always connect the charger to the battery first and then to the power outlet.
  • Always remove the charger from the battery after charging.

HOW TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY

The battery can be charged either by leaving it on the bicycle or by removing it.

• Place the battery near a power outlet.
• Connect the charger to the power outlet.
• Open the rubber cap on the battery and connect the charger.
• Connect the charger to the battery.
• Place the charger on the ground or on a flat, non-slip surface and connect it to the power outlet.
• There is an LED indicator on the charger. The LED is red when the battery is connected to the power and is charging.
• When fully charged, the charge status light will turn green.
• Disconnect the charger from the power outlet, then remove the plug from the battery.
• If previously removed, reinsert the battery into its compartment on the bicycle.

CHARGER MAINTENANCE

• When the battery is fully charged, first disconnect the cable from the 220V power outlet and then the battery power cable.
  • Store the charger in a dry and clean environment.
  • The charger does not require any maintenance.
  • Any opening or tampering with the charger is prohibited.
  • In case of malfunctions, contact the Service Center.
  • If the cable is damaged, replacement must be done by a Service Center.
• If the temperature of the charger rises too high (over 65°C), an unpleasant odor will be noticed: immediately stop charging and contact the Service Center.

Even if properly maintained, the rechargeable battery is not eternal. Each time the battery is discharged and recharged, its capacity decreases by a very small percentage. It is possible to extend the life of the battery by carefully following the provided charging instructions. The lithium battery has no "memory." Partially discharging and recharging the battery does not affect its performance or lifespan. Therefore, it is possible to recharge the battery even if it is not completely discharged. If the bicycle is not used for a long period, keep the battery charged at least once a month, leaving it to charge for about 4 hours. In this case, do not pay attention to the charger lights. When the battery is completely discharged, it should be recharged immediately. Do not leave the battery unused and discharged but proceed immediately with a charging cycle. In this case, perform a longer charging cycle, about 6 hours, to allow the battery to be fully activated. Once or twice a year, it is recommended to use the bicycle until the battery is completely discharged. Then fully recharge it. This process has a beneficial effect on the battery's lifespan.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Technological advances have made the E-Bike and its components more complex than in the past, and the pace of innovation is increasing. With this continuous evolution, it is essential to contact an authorized service center for any mechanical and/or electrical repairs and/or maintenance. For routine maintenance and cleaning, follow the instructions below.

TIGHTENING BOLTS AND NUTS

During use, due to vibrations, some screws may loosen. We recommend periodically checking the tightness of the screws. Immediately replace any damaged or lost parts. The following is a tightening table to be applied for the assembly of different types of components. For each component, the

"minimum-maximum" range to which those components should generally be tightened is indicated. The table is purely indicative, as numerous variables affect the precise degree to be applied to the various screws, such as the material used for the screw and/or the type of threading, the sections and thicknesses of the material being worked on, and naturally the material of the parts to be interfaced. The tightening torques are expressed in Newton-meters; remember that to perform this operation correctly, a torque wrench is necessary, which disengages when the desired torque is reached.

• Front hub nut: 20 - 27 Nm.

• BSA bottom bracket cups: 70 Nm.
• Pedals: 34 - 40 Nm.

BREAK-IN PERIOD

Your bicycle will be more efficient and remain in optimal condition for a long time with a break-in period before continuous and intensive use. The brake or gear cables, spokes, and other mechanical parts may loosen in the very first period of use, and a visit to the service center for final adjustment may be necessary. We suggest, after 30/35 hours of use and in any case after the first 30 days, to have the electric bicycle checked at a service center. In any case, for any problem or doubt that you cannot solve on your own, always contact the specialized technical service center and do not use the bicycle in case of real or presumed anomalies. It is advisable to check the mechanics before each use. After each long or difficult ride on unpaved terrain, in case of exposure to water or sand, and in any case every 150 km, proceed as follows.

• Clean the bicycle.
• Lubricate the chain, freewheel, and gears, then remove excess oil. You can ask your trusted technician for advice on the best lubricants on the market and the maintenance frequency.
• Pull the front brake and move the bicycle back and forth to ensure everything is in order. If you hear a dull noise with each movement, there may be problems with the steering: contact the service center.
• Lift the front wheel off the ground and turn it left and right to ensure the steering is smooth. If the steering is stiff, there may be problems with the steering: contact the service center.
• Ensure that nuts, bolts, clamps, and all mechanical components are tight and not worn and/or damaged.

The bicycle and its mechanical components are subject to wear. The materials they are made of have different life cycles. It is recommended to periodically check, or at least once a year, the bicycle to assess its proper functioning and the wear status of the components, and if necessary, proceed with the replacement of worn/malfunctioning components.

FLAT TIRE

Do not use the bicycle in case of a flat or partially deflated tire. Walk the bike. In case of a tire puncture, detach the wheel from the hub to remove it and deflate the tire. Remove the tire, possibly using a tire lever to extract it from the rim. Remove the punctured inner tube and replace it. Slightly inflate the tube

and reposition the tire on the rim, over the tube. Be careful not to pinch the new inner tube between the rim and the tire. Spin the wheel to ensure that the entire tire is correctly positioned on the rim and that the tube is completely inside. Slowly inflate to the recommended pressure, checking the tire's position on the rim. Reposition the wheel.

In case of difficulty, contact the service center for replacement. It is recommended to use only a tire lever for this operation. Otherwise, using a screwdriver or any other tool, you risk puncturing the inner tube.

CLEANING THE BICYCLE

Dust the frame with a soft cloth, remove dirt with a damp cloth and non-abrasive detergent. Do not use high-pressure cleaners. Carefully dry all parts and periodically apply car wax. Clean plastic parts and tires with water and soap, dry thoroughly. If used on humid or rainy days, carefully dry the bicycle before parking it. Do not leave the bicycle exposed to humidity, rain, or direct sunlight. If it is not possible to shelter it, cover it with a dark waterproof tarp. Salt is highly corrosive. If you live or use the bicycle in coastal areas, it is recommended to wash the bicycle very often to remove salt, always dry it thoroughly, and apply anti-rust on unpainted parts. Periodically grease the bottom bracket, freewheel, chain, and other parts that need it. Periodically check screws, nuts, bolts, and clamps to ensure they are tight.

STORING THE BICYCLE

Keep the bicycle in a dry and covered place, avoiding direct exposure to the sun, weather, and salt. If you plan not to use the bicycle for a long period, perform a complete and thorough cleaning before parking it. Deflate the tires halfway and, if possible, hang the bicycle and cover it with a preferably cotton tarp. Do not use plastic tarps. Recharge the battery and keep it charged once every two months to prevent it from completely discharging. Ensure that the charger is not connected to either the power outlet or the bicycle. The recommended storage temperature for the lithium battery is between 0°-25°. Avoid storing the battery in very cold or very hot places. Do not expose the battery to heat sources (+35/40°) for long periods. Do not leave the battery with condensation build-up that could damage, short-circuit, or corrode the battery.

Pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 49 of March 14, 2014 "Implementation of Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)".

The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on the equipment indicates that the product at the end of its useful life must be collected separately from other waste. The user must, therefore, deliver the equipment intact with essential components at the end of its life to appropriate collection centers for electronic and electrical waste, or return it to the retailer when purchasing new equipment of an equivalent type, on a one-to-one basis, or one-to-zero for equipment with a side smaller than 25 cm. Proper separate collection for the subsequent recycling, treatment, and environmentally compatible disposal of the discarded equipment helps to avoid possible negative effects on the environment and health and promotes the recycling of the materials that make up the equipment. Illegal disposal of the product by the user entails the application of administrative sanctions as per Legislative Decree no. 49 of March 14, 2014.
