Introduction

Thank you for buying the Larry vs Harry eBullitt, based on the superb Shimano STePS E6100 system.
This bike marks a new generation and evolu­tion in ebike technology which we are truly proud to bring onto the market, integrating all the electronic elements, including motor assistance, gear shifting and lights into one cohesive unit.

We recommend that you read the Shimano STePS manual in it’s entirety, to fully under­stand all the features and attributes of the system.
However, if you are in a hurry to start using your eBullitt, here is a little run-down to get you rolling…

Attention

Check the tyres are properly pumped, you can find the maximum pressure on the tyre sidewall, but we recommend 80psi/5.5bar in the rear and 60psi/4bar in the front tyre. Always check local traffic laws to ensure your eBullitt is compliant and has the correctly located reflectors and bell.

When riding in dimly lit areas or at night, make sure your lights are functioning properly. The Shimano STePS System has rather ingeniously incorporated the lights into the main battery, so you never need worry about replacing batteries again. Familiarise yourself however, with the handlebar functions to correctly switch the lights on and off.

Expected longevity of your eBullitt: With care and due attention you will be riding your eBullitt for many, many years. We have tested the frames under duress and have spent years developing the Bullitt platform and are confident that it will hold up to sustained use, regardless of it’s function. This said, parts are subject to wear and tear; Tyres, chains and brake pads need changing on average once a year and the bikes can be easily serviced by your local dealer or local bike shop.

Only the chain should be lubricated with oil, never put oils/lubricants on the disc brakes, it will contaminate the pads and necessitate in replacements . Wheels should be checked sporadically for loose spokes or the wheel is at risk of buckling. Refer to the Shimano STePS User Manual for specifics on the motor/drivetrain/battery.

Please refer to our Terms and Conditions online, to see specifics on the frame and parts warranty.

Additionally, common sense tells us nothing lasts forever and it goes without saying that bicycles suffer from metal fatigue. This applies to aluminium bike frames too and in adverse weather, this will exacerbate and speed up wear and tear. Salt on roads, wet weather and the stress and strain will all take their toll on your eBullitt, but frequent wash­ing, care and maintenance will ensure a prolonged lifespan.

If your bicycle sustains an impact: First, check yourself for injuries, and take care of them as best you can. Seek medical help if necessary. Next, check your bike for damage. After any crash, take your bike to your dealer for a thorough check. Compo­nents, including frame and fork, wheels, handlebars, stems, cranksets, brakes, etc. which have sustained an impact must not be ridden until they have been disassembled and thoroughly inspected by a qualified mechanic.

WARNING: A crash or other impact can put extraordinary stress on bicycle components, causing them to fatigue prematurely. Com­ponents suffering from stress fatigue can fail suddenly and catastrophically, causing loss of control, serious injury or death.

E6100 STePS parts overview

Shimano STePS control

Quick start guide

Ensure the battery is fully engaged in the battery mount and hold down the power button to initialise the display on the handlebar.

Now, let’s take a look at the controls:
The left hand buttons control the display and assistance modes, high, norm and eco, along with walk assist. The more assistance the motor gives, the easier pedalling becomes though obviously affects the longevity of the battery.

Moving over to the right-hand controls:
The buttons determine gear shifting. If you hold both right buttons in for 3 seconds it will toggle between Auto/Manual shifting (Nexus 5 only). Finally the display mounted on the center of the handlebars controls the bikes menu option on the left, the power on/off in the center, and the light on/off on the right side. Use the shifters to navigate through the menu to find more settings and options. Holding down the up/down buttons changes the gears consecutively.

The computer displays both speed and time, battery levels and chosen assistance mode. The selected gear is shown in the bar running along the bottom of the display and in automatic mode you can select preferred downshifts so that at traffic lights the eBullitt changes gear to a lower and easier to pedal gear upon stopping. Clever huh!
Familiarise yourself with the feeling of the TRP hydraulic brakes, they are powerful and the modulation may get a bit of getting used to.

Assembly guide

Assembly time should be around 1 hour and involves mounting the fork and front wheel, rear mudguard and rear wheel and attaching the handlebar and stem.

To mount the fork:
Place the larger of the two headset bearings over the fork steerer and insert the fork into the headtube. Next, set the remaining cartridge bearing onto the protruding fork steerer and insert the retainer clip/preload spacer. Finally, screw the compression cap into the fork and tighten by hand until fully inserted. Then tighten with a 5mm allen key until no further movement is sensed.

Mounting the rear mudguard and rear wheel:
Required tools include 3/4mm allen keys, lOmm/15mm spanners/wrenches.
First, mount the mudguard at the top metal bracket using the long M4mm and 10mm spanner, secondly attach the metal support struts using a 3mm alien key and screw them into the threaded holes found on the frame dropouts.
When mounting the wheel, set the chain on the Alfine sprocket and place the wheel axle into the dropouts, hand tightening the nuts to prevent the wheel falling out. Then, pulling the wheel back towards you to ensure proper chain tension, tighten the wheel nuts to 16Nm (or as tight as you can, basically).

Attaching the cockpit:
The stem and handlebar need to be mounted onto the steerer rod using a 4mm allen key. Roughly align the front wheel so it is facing directly forward and slide the stem onto the steerer rod. Then, screw in the headset top cap using a 5mm alien key.

Finally, tighten the two rear facing bolts on the stem to 5Nm ensure the front wheel is properly aligned and there is no lateral move­ment in the headsets.
When setting up your bike for your personal riding style, it is important to bear in mind safety and the ability to maintain full control of the bike under all circumstances.
You may be an extremely experienced cyclist, but the eBullitt is a very large bike and getting to grips with the extended front wheel takes some practise, so air on the side of caution when initially adjusting seatpost and stem height. You can always raise the saddle to get full leg extension later and when the time comes. Double check the minimum insertion markings on the seatpost and keep the saddle level for more efficient riding.

Be sure to take your first ride in an environ­ment free from traffic and where you can get accustomed to the steering, controls and general nuances of the bike. Do not ride on the pedestrian pavement, it is not cool, gives cyclists a bad name and can generally get yourself in a jam. Double check local regula­tions on carrying children and always ensure they are strapped in.

Important:
Ensure quick release clamps (if the Q lever does not make an imprint in your palm, it’s too loose!) on both the seatpost and the Easy-Up stemlifter are properly tightened and that both wheels are secure. Test the brakes at low speed and your ability to reach the brake levers. Always wear a helmet (no discussion!).
