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 a ects 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
6
Shifters SW-E7000L
on/o in the center, and the light on/o 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 tra c 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,
10mm/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 allen 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 allen 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 move-
ment 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 e cient riding.
Be sure to take your first ride in an environ-
ment free from tra c 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 regula-
tions 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!).
