MODS list for Ninebot Z10
1. Side protector panels foam inserts mod
2. Protectors - stick flaps above the front lamp better
3. Cut away rubber protectors behind the pedals to unblock opening
4. Reflective tape on the front of the wheel (white) and on the back mud guard (red)
5. Install/stick pedal openers
6. Put silicone on the pedal axis to make pedal opening softer
7. Modify the front light
8. Add anti-rattle tape to the handle and screw it more securely with tape
9. Print and attach my switch-off protector / light sensor adjuster
10. Modify the pump rubber hose
11. Get Charge Doctor and prepare power supply for use with charge doctor
12. Get WheelLog version 2.0.15 which supports Z models
The step by step setup guide for Ninebot Z models including mods:
• Find Yourselves local standard mains connection cable like for PC (depends if the dealer made the good job or You got Chinese standard cable in the box)
• Buy some reflective tape - white and red
• Unpack all stuff, connect the Z to the charger and charge it....
• Cut away small triangles of the bottom protectors by the pedal post as they block the easy pedal opening (see / lukluk for video of what I am referring to)
• Take included hex key and screw pedal plate screws (6 on each pedal) slightly better
• Stick the grip pads precisely
• Unscrew pedals
• Cut reflective tape for front and end of pedals - 4 wedges 100 mm long, 12mm on wide end and 5mm on narrow ends are needed.
• Stick the reflective tapes precisely
• Get / prepare pedal openers (custom solution in my case - but willing to print and send - option to be discussed) stick them nicely using strong professional grade double sided tape
• Get / print my switch-off protector / light sensor adjuster to reduce botch accidental switch off of the wheel and lamp switch off by incoming car phenomenon (custom solution in my case - but willing to print and send - option to be discussed) stick it nicely using double sided tape (*see my thread forum.electric... )
• Cut and stick RED reflective tape for the back fender (stick it over instead of white - also wider strip like 4 cm is OK)
• Add good double sided tape to front of the top protectors - by the lamp as original one un-glues as hell (*see my YT video)
• Unscrew all side panels and lamp, modify front lamp angle - see my thread for that on the forum here or my YT video with link listed
• Screw in fender and handle
• Stick some fancy white reflective tape strips on the front of the unit *see YT..
• Clean all unit using alcohol before sticking all external protectors
• Prepare extra soft foam leg triangular protectors to cover parts of the original leg protectors as they are hard as hell
• Stick protectors
• Apply silicone on pedal axis to stop them form rattling and screw them back in place
• Modify the original rubber hose from the set - cut the pump end away, get the bike tube valve, press it into the rubber tube (original one comes without the valve)
• Set the right pressure in the tire !!!!
• Stick some foam tape in the middle bottom of the handle (to prevent handle from rattling
• Unscrew top plastic part of the handle (4 screws) and put 1 layer of thin tape around the tops of the aluminum struts, screw the plastic back
• DONE
Optional steps:
• get the charge doctor and modify the power supply to use it (*see my YT video about it - / lukluk ) also separate thread here...
• install WheelLog (in case of android device) new version supports Z model
This is more or less complete guide. Skip what you want, or add other steps ;-)
Thanks for the video, because of my technical background i really enjoy to see mods on machinery, more than just a rewiew which almost everyone can make. I wish there were more videos like yours, of modders.
Good vid Luk, these mods are very useful and thanks for all the tips!
Great video thanks for the info 👍
Hi Luk,
Do you still have the stl from the switch protector?
Tnx.
Tom
cool vids bro , im waiting for my Z10 to arive , can u share the sti file to the peddle mod , ive already printed the switch mod , thanks bro ;-)
Does anyone have the Printing File for the ON/OFF Switch Mod? Its offline. Thanks for youre help guys
Awesome review and great improvements, I will be getting mine soon and I plan on adding some of your mods. I am also planning on vinyl wrapping it to protect it, if you get a moment can you measure the height and width of the exposed plastic that would need covered and let me know.
Thanks
Hey ben, did you ever get your wheel? Did you go through with the vinyl wrapping? Would be nice to see what you did as i am thinking about wrapping mine too
Great review. Do you ride the 16S anymore? Guess not... Could you please do a comparison between the 2 wheels. KS16 S still a good deal in 2018?
KS16S feels now small and light as a toy, but It is still very good wheel! I have made almost 6000km on it!!
Funny style guy, ...you ready for a trip to mars :-))
thanks for this great video, just got the z10 my inner bottom legs are killing me lol but from what I hear I shouldn't be pressing them against the machine? How do you ride /stance? thanks
Tyre pressure? i'm having some problem controlling it when hitting little curbs
Great review, thank you! I was wondering if there is a link to the stl file of the pedal opener?
Hello pav5000 - I have published my project forum.electricunicycle.org/topic/11678-ninebot-z10-pedal-opener-mod/ if somebody want I can send ready to stick pedal openers and power switch safety mod also as the set.
@@LukLuk Hello man ! I love the idea of your pedal openers and I'd like to print some but I can"t get my hands on your STL files. Can you share a link please ?
Jakieś specjalne reflektorki na kask zamontowałeś czy rozebrałeś kilka czołówek ?
To złożony projekt - obudowy i soczewki z chińskich czołówek faktycznie ale diody, kable, drivery, mocowania, sterowanie itp customowe. W dalszej wersji zmniejszyłem liczbę lamp bo było za jasno. ;-) przy 3 jakieś 3600lm - wystarcza ;-)
@@LukLuk Czyli dobrze podejrzewałem . Chyba pójdę w stronę Solar Storm x2 albo coś z Sigmy . Zetka nie wybacza tajemniczych patyków i dziur .
Hi Luk!!! Great Video. QQ, do you know where I can get the Z10 in the UE? I live in spain but there is no Official or unofficial dealer that sells it. I would not care if I need to get it from another country from the UE or outside it. Thanks in advance.
NO official dealers in EU... The only contact I can eventually suggest is AliExpress - check for "Green and fashion travaling shop"
What Headlamp do you use in this Video?
When you attach a typical portable air pump to the air hose extender, the wheel air won't escape upon screwing it to the wheel air valve.....just a tip comment. Thank you for sharing your wheel experience
Yes - if you attach the pump - You will limit the amount of air which escapes... but for this wheel specific air pressure is needed - You really need the way to use manometer easily and with precise measurement without air escaping in this process..
Hi, what is your tire pressure and your weight?
For Z10 I used to keep around 28psi, my total riding weight with equipment is around 90kg
@@LukLuk
Hi,
What is the cause of the steering?
Tire pressure rebalancing something else?
I ask that because I fell while losing control of my Z10!
Those helmet lights are awesome. What are they?
Hello please could you explain your pedal opening solution. Would it work on a kingsong 14s?
KS14 , KS16 and so on - Kingsongs have pedal openers "already integrated" in the design - so does not need any mods..
Hello how i can find you on facebook?? i please help me to make same stick pedal openers i really love it!!!
Power looking lights you have Luk.
Morning on Saturday was quite rainy and cold, so I have taken out autumn/winter helmet. 4x10W Cree customized LED setup with 2 pcs wide short-range beams and 2 pcs radio controlled long range narrow beams. Each led can have power set to any given 3 out of the 16 power levels. Custom setup based on the Chinese headlamps - heavily modified so only lens, chassis and battery case are from original inexpensive headlamps sets
Any tutorial on how to setup this light system?
Good ^^*
witam, właśnie czekam na swojego z10, jestem z Rzeszowa, daj jakis kontakt do siebie
please how do you made rhis light on your helmet ...
I will have to prepare separate video regarding lights, as this is all custom build.
you ride with 25psi?
I want to buy his 3d printing accessories but he never answers!
Really unhelpful
Как будто русский по-английски говорит)
what app is this?
WheelLog - best app for unicycles (Android)
@@LukLuk Thanks
It's not review of Z10... It's you bragging about your mods. Disliking because title is misleading.
Title corrected. Thank You for the comment. Now it is "Ninebot Z10 mods with partial review after 1013km (with mods description)"
He is kind to share his modifications with the community, not bragging. You are just jealous and/or resentful.
Poor Z10, the mods are sooooooooo ugly :-)
? ok, no problem I accept the comment, but could You please be more specific which ones are ugly? reflective tape? (obligatory in Europe - front - white / back - red) pedal openers? there are no mods on this wheel except the factory provided padding and purely technical stuff which is needed in the real daily use..
@@LukLuk I would like some mods , how to buy them from you ? (I have sent you an email)
