SETTING UP YOUR EBIKE 5BILLY EBIKE USER MANUAL
B. REMOVE TIES & PADDING
Using a 6mm allen wrench, undo the four bolts at the top of the head stem and remove the top piece.
Pointing the handlebars with the levers facing down, place the knurled center section of the bar in mounting point of the head stem.
C. INSTALL HANDLEBAR
The installation is made easier if the display is rotated forward. If the display is secured and will not rotate eas­ily, loosen the securing bolts slightly with a 3mm allen wrench.
Replace the previously removed top piece and install the four bolts by hand to ensure correct installation.
Slightly tighten each bolt at opposite ends (e.g. 1, then 4, then 2, then 3) a little at a time to ensure even pres­sure is applied across the top piece.
Just before the bolts are fully tightened, adjust the han­dlebar so that the vertical bars are in line with the forks and the brake levers face forward.
Tighten the four bolts to ensure a secure connection of the handlebar to the head stem.
Straighten the handlebar so that a forward facing han­dlebar coincides with a forward facing front tire, then secure by removing the rubber cover and tightening the top cap bolt.
Using scissors, carefully cut and remove zip ties and padding, ensuring you do not mark or damage the bike or its components.
USE OF SCISSORS OR BLADES RISK SCRATCHING OR HARMING YOUR EBIKE. TAKE EXTREME CARE.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVER TIGHTEN AS EXCESSIVE FORCE MAY DAMAGE THE HEAD STEM THREADS.

SETTING UP YOUR EBIKE 6BILLY EBIKE USER MANUAL
Adjust the display position so that it can be easily
viewed when sitting on the bike, then nally secure the
handlebar by tightening the two pinch bolts using a 5mm allen wrench.
Standing toward the ‘tire’ side of the folded ebike, place an anchoring foot behind the tire and raise the bike so that the bike is no longer resting on the crank guard.
Slowly swing the handlebar half of the bike outwards in a motion that closes the center hinge.
D. UNFOLD THE EBIKE
Clasping the clamp lever handle, draw it closed by swinging it across the frame break so that there is an even gap between the lever handle and the front half of the frame. It is designed to sit very close to the frame, but not actually touch it.
Rotate the lock clasp clockwise so that the locking tab sits inside the hole of the clamp lever handle and the
lock clasp sits ush against the handle.
DO NOT RIDE THE EBIKE UNLESS THE FRAME IS FULLY UNFOLDED AND BOTH THE CLAMP LEVER AND LOCK CLASP ARE SECURED. SEVERE CON­SQUENCES WILL RESULT.

To install the right pedal, nd the pedal labelled “R” and
place one of the supplied washers on.
Next, locate the right side crank and attach the pedal to the arm by threading in a clockwise motion.
To install the left side pedal, locate the pedal labelled
“L”, install the other supplied washer, then attach to the
left side crank arm by threading in an anti-clockwise motion.
Your Billy ebike ships with the pedals detached.
Each pedal is labelled according to the side of the bike
they belong on. “R” for right, and “L” for left.
2. FOLDING PEDALS
READ PEDAL LABELS CAREFULLY TO AVOID ATTEMPTED INSTALLATION OF INCORRECT PEDALS AND DAMAGING COMPONENTS.
Page 10
SETTING UP YOUR EBIKE 9BILLY EBIKE USER MANUAL
Seat adjustment is achieved without tools via the quick release system. To adjust, locate the quick release lever at the top of the seat tube.
Open by pulling towards the rear of the bike. The seat post should now be loose enough to adjust the seat height.
3. SEAT ADJUSTMENT
When raising the seat height, ensure that you do not ex­tend the seat height past the minimum insertion point marking on the seat tube.
If the seat post is loose when the quick release is fully engaged it may be necessary to adjust the clamp fur­ther to secure the seatpost correctly. This is achieved by turning the adjustment dial clockwise when the clamp is released.
Alternatively, if the clamp is too dicult to compress
fully, it may be necessary to loosen the clamp slightly. This is achieved by turning the dial in an anti-clockwise direction when the clamp is released and then trying again.
The seat can be adjusted further by either moving it slightly backward or forward, as well as the angle the seat sits; either more upwards or downwards.
To adjust, loosen the securing bolt with a 5mm allen wrench and turn in an anti-clockwise direction.
Once the bolt is loose enough, there should be enough play in the seat rail clamp to allow the seat to slide back and forth. Ensure that you only slide the seat so that the seat rail clamp’s edges sit within the range marked on the seat post rails.
To adjust the seat angle, loosen the securing seat clamp bolt further. Once loose enough, there will be enough play in the seat to allow for the angle to be slightly adjusted.
Secure the seat angle and slide by tightening the seat clamp bolt.
EXTENDING THE SEAT POST PAST THE MINIMUM INSERTION POINT MAY LEAD TO COMPONENT FAILURE AND SERIOUS INJURY.
EXTENDING THE SEAT POST CLAMP OUTSIDE OF THE MARKED RANGE CAN LEAD TO COMPONENT FAILURE AND SERIOUS INJURY.
Page 11
SETTING UP YOUR EBIKE 10BILLY EBIKE USER MANUAL
Rotate the lock clasp anti-clockwise so that the locking tab that sits inside the hole of the clamp lever handle no longer secures the clamp lever handle in place.
Swing the clamp lever handle outwards to release the clamp.
4. FOLDING
With an anchoring foot behind the rear wheel to stop it from rolling backward as you fold, use one hand to hold the frame close to the seat post and the other hand to hold the front half of the bike. Fold the bike in half using a swinging motion, until the front wheel aligns with the rear wheel. Allow the bike to rest on the lower guard for storage with a smaller footprint.
Ensure the motor cable is securely connected to the controller connector cable.
If disconnected, simply line up the arrow on the mo­tor cable with that on the connector cable, and press together carefully. Notice that one side has a ‘female’ connection with holes and other a ‘male’ connection
with pins. The connection is made such that the pins t
exactly into the holes on the other side.
If there is resistance do not force the two together, as this may bend pins out of place and destroy your con­nection. Simply put apart gently, then try again by align­ing the arrow guides together and pushing carefully.
5. REAR HUB MOTOR
Your Billy ebike comes equipped with front and rear mechanical disc brakes, designed to help you slow down and stop as required.
6. BRAKES
DO NOT RIDE THE EBIKE WITH­OUT THE MOTOR CABLES PROPER­LY CONNECTED. DOING SO COULD DAMAGE COMPONENTS AND RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
KEEP IN MIND THAT WHILE YOUR BIKE’S BRAKES ARE STRONG, WE HOLD NO RESPONSIBILITY IN THE EVENT OF FAILURE.
Page 12
SETTING UP YOUR EBIKE 11BILLY EBIKE USER MANUAL
It is therefore recommended to service your brakes reg­ularly to ensure: i. the brake pads are in suitable usable condition ii. the brakes are adjusted correctly so that calipers and pads make appropriate contact with the brake rotor
iii: lever pulls translate to sucient braking power
IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE MECHANICAL EXPERTISE AND/TOOLS TO REGULARLY MAINTAIN YOUR BIL­LY EBIKE’S BRAKES, WE ADVISE YOU TO SEEK THE HELP OF A CERTIFIED BICYCLE MECHANIC.
Your brake levers are equipped with motor inhibitors designed to cut the power to the motor whenever the levers are pressed. For safety, we recommend that you press the brakes whenever you are operating the ebike, if you have no intention to be propelled by its electric motor.
Alternatively, you can switch your pedal assist (PAS)
level to 0 or switch the power o by holding the Mode
button, to ensure that an accidental twist of the throttle or press of the pedal doesn’t result in the ebike being propelled unintentionally.
The recommended tire pressure is 8-20 PSI (0.6-
1.4bar). 20psi is ideal for hard surfaces like asphalt and concrete. For softer, looser surfaces like gravel, it is ad­visable to reduce the pressure for better traction and a more comfortable ride.
To inate, locate the ination valve on the tire.
v
Remove the valve cap by twisting in an anti-clockwise motion.
7. TIRE PRESSURE
Attach a schrader valve compatible tire pump and in-
ate to the desired pressure.
Your Billy ebike comes equipped with an adjustable front air suspension fork designed to help absorb bumps during your ride.
Billy’s suspension fork features a lock out dial. When fully locked out (the lock icon on the dial is closest to the frame), the fork will be fully rigid, meaning it will ride like a standard rigid bicycle.
8. FRONT SUSPENSION FORK
DO NOT OVER INFLATE PAST 20PSI OR UNDER-INFLATE BELOW 8PSI. DO­ING SO MAY DAMAGE THE TIRE AND RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
WHILE SUSPENSION IS DESIGNED TO HELP ABSORB SHOCKS, IT DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOUR SAFETY WHILE RIDING. EXERCISE EXTREME CARE TO AVOID THE RISK OF INJURY.
Page 13
SETTING UP YOUR EBIKE 12BILLY EBIKE USER MANUAL
As you turn it anti clockwise, it will progressively allow more spring.
When the dash (-) icon faces closest to the frame, the suspension forks are in full suspension mode.
ADJUSTING SUSPENSION PRELOAD
It is also possible to adjust the amount of preload on the air suspension.
Remove the “Air” cap by turning in an anti-clockwise direction and inate using a high-pressure air suspen-
sion pump. Recommended starting pressures are listed below based on rider weight.
ADJUSTING SUSPENSION DAMPING
At the bottom of the fork leg you will nd a rebound
damping dial. This determines the rate of return when the suspension is compressed.
Turning it completely clockwise will set a slow rate of return. Check this by holding the front brake and pumping the fork up and down. Turning it completely anti-clockwise produces a faster rate of return. Setting a faster rate of return is more ideal for bumpy terrain, where the suspension needs to return to full length quickly in between bumps. Setting a slower rate of re­turn might be better for smoother terrain, where bumps are a further distance apart. You can make small adjust­ments until the setting is right for you.
Your Billy ebike comes equipped with a pre-load adjust­able rear coil suspension to help absorb bumps during your ride.
To adjust, locate the textured threaded stopper that sits at the end of the suspension spring, towards the top of the rear suspension unit.
9. REAR SUSPENSION
DO NOT FORCE THE DIAL HARD IN EITHER DIRECTION. DOING SO MAY DAMAGE THE FORKS AND RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
ONLY ATTEMPT TO ADJUST FORK PRELOAD/SAG IF YOU ARE EXPERI­ENCED WITH SUSPENSION TUNING. OTHERWISE, PLEASE CONSULT A QUALIFIED BICYCLE MECHANIC.
WHILE SUSPENSION IS DESIGNED TO HELP ABSORB SHOCKS, IT DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOUR SAFETY WHILE RIDING. EXERCISE EXTREME CARE TO AVOID THE RISK OF INJURY.
Page 14
SETTING UP YOUR EBIKE 13BILLY EBIKE USER MANUAL
Twisting the stopper in an anti-clockwise direction re­duces the amount of preload.
Twisting the stopper in a clockwise direction increases the amount of preload.
Your Billy ebike comes equipped with either a belt or chain drive system. It is important to maintain belt/chain tension to ensure optimum energy is being transferred from the crank to the rear wheel.
In order to correctly adjust the drive tension, you must
rst locate and loosen both of the rear axle nuts using
an 18mm spanner.
10. DRIVE SYSTEM
Next, locate and adjust the tensioner accordingly.
For increased tension, turn the tensioning nut in a clockwise direction.
For reduced tension, turn the tensioning nut in an an­ti-clockwise direction.
Once you have achieved the desired amount of tension, tighten both the rear axle nuts using an 18mm spanner.
When setting up your Billy ebike for the rst time, we
recommend that you charge the battery to full over­night. This allows the battery to balance.
As you use the battery, when possible try to use the battery until it is completely empty and then charge it until it is completely full before using it again. Fully cy­cling the battery like this should help extend the life of the battery.
Your battery can be charged either on or o the ebike.
To charge on the ebike, locate and peel open the rubber door to expose the battery’s ports and power button.
11. BATTERY
ONLY ATTEMPT TO ADJUST REAR PRELOAD IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCED WITH SUSPENSION TUNING. OTHER­WISE, PLEASE CONSULT A QUALIFIED BICYCLE MECHANIC.
ONLY ATTEMPT TO ADJUST YOUR DRIVE SYSTEM IF YOU ARE EXPERI­ENCED WITH CYCLE MAINTENANCE. OTHERWISE, PLEASE CONSULT A QUALIFIED BICYCLE MECHANIC.
ONLY OPERATE YOUR BATTERY AND CHARGER BETWEEN 50 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT (10C) AND 80 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT (27C) TO AVOID COM­PONENT FAILURE AND MINIMIZE THE RISK OF INJURY.
Page 15
SETTING UP YOUR EBIKE 14BILLY EBIKE USER MANUAL
Ensure that the ebike’s power button is switched to the
o position (0).
Before powering on the charger, insert the charger ca­ble into the charging port towards the top right of the battery port. Once attached securely, switch your char­ger on.
While charging, the charger’s red light will illuminate. Once charging is complete, the charger will indicate so by illuminating the green light.
Lithium batteries and electricity can cause serious injury when incorrectly maintained or handled or used inap­propriately, dropped, or exposed to water.
To charge the battery away from the ebike, fold the bike in half and use the supplied key to unlock the battery from its mounted position.
Slide the battery out completely and charge in a cool dry location until fully charged.
Your new Billy ebike comes equipped with a display and 3 button keypad to allow you to operate and customize your ebike riding experience, as well as navigate through trip and system information. References to these buttons will be made as Up, Down and Mode.
To power on the ebike, hold down the Mode button for a few seconds until the display turns on.
Similarly, to power o the ebike, hold down the Mode button for a few seconds until the display turns o.

SAFETY CHECK­LIST - BEFORE YOU RIDE
SAFETY CHECKLIST 16
04
Before you ride it’s important to check whether key components of your ebike are set up and/or operating correctly. The following checks will help ensure safe operation of your ebike and reduce the risk of potential injury during operation.
1. TIRES - Check tires are inated correctly and look
for signs of excessive wear like loss of tread or crack­ing that may indicate the need for replacement. Inspect rims for signs of warping or other damage.
2. BRAKES - Ensure both front and rear brakes are working correctly by pulling them and initially rock­ing the ebike back and forth. The amount of ‘braking’ you feel should be strong and your levers should not be touching the bars as you pull on them. Conversely, when released, you should not be able to hear or feel the disc pads rubbing against the brake rotors. Ensure also that levers are tightly secured to the handlebars and are lubricated.
3. FOLDING CLAMP - Ensure that the folding hinge clamp is secured tightly with the locking clasp in place.
BEFORE YOU RIDE
Failure to do so may result in disaster.
4. DISPLAY AND BATTERY - Power on the ebike to check the battery level and cycle through the menu to see if anything looks unusual. Notice any warning codes displayed.
5. STEERING - Check that the forward facing handle­bar is coinciding with a forward facing wheel to ensure everything is as straight as possible and steering is cor­rect. Turn the handlebar from side to side to ensure ev­erything is appropriately tight.
6. BELT - Ensure correct belt tension and look for signs of unusual wear.
7. CRANKS & PEDALS - Ensure cranks and pedals are secured. Notice any signs of wear, odd creaks or sounds when rotated, as well as joint dryness and the need for lubrication.
8. FRAME - Inspect the frame for signs of damage and/ or cracking.
9. FORKS - Inspect forks to verify smooth operation and notice any damage, signs of premature wear, or leaks.
10. MOTOR - Ensure the motor is operating as per usual and look for signs of wear, hotspots, or unusual sounds.
11. BATTERY - Inspect battery for signs of damage or
unusual heat or smells that might indicate battery fail­ure.
WHILE IT’S IMPORTANT TO PERFORM CHECKS BEFORE YOU RIDE, THESE ACTIONS DO NOT REPLACE THE NEED FOR FREQUENT AND DETAILED SER­VICING FROM EXPERIENCED EBIKE MECHANICS.
Page 18
STARTING & OPERATING PROCEDURES
STARTING & OPERATING 17
05
It’s important to understand the functionality as well as the limitations of your Billy ebike to ensure you contin­ue to enjoy the riding experience it provides for many years to come.
1. MAXIMUM RIDER WEIGHT - The maximum rider weight of your Billy ebike is 300lbs, or 136kgs. Riding with a weight larger than this may cause the ebike com­ponents to fail and may lead to serious injury.
2. SPEED SENSOR - Your Billy ebike’s motor and con­troller are designed to provide you assistance as you pedal. Once you begin pedalling, the system senses ro­tations in the crank, in turn switching on the hub motor to propel you further. Once you stop pedalling the sys-
tem senses this, and cuts o power to the motor. The
amount of power the motor is ‘told’ to output and the corresponding top speed is dictated by the PAS level selected.
3. THROTTLE - Just like a motorcycle’s throttle, the amount you twist your ebike’s throttle dictates the amount of ‘power’ sent to your ebike’s hub motor. This is predetermined by the PAS level selected, but all things remaining equal, a small twist of only a few de­grees of the wrist sends the system the signal that you
only want to propel along slowly, and a full twist - all the way through until the twist throttle can twist no more ­tells the system that you want to send as much power to the motor as possible and that you want to go as fast as possible NOW.
4. PEDAL ASSIST (PAS) - The level of PAS you set dictates the amount of power and speed that will be achieve whether you’re wanting assistance as you ped­al, or when you twist the throttle. Your Billy ebike comes with 5 programmed levels of PAS, with 0 being no as­sistance and 5 being the most assistance possible. The levels in between 0 and 5 are incremental levels of speed and power.
After you have powered on the bike and display, simply
press the Up and Down buttons to aect the level of
PAS.
5. EXTENDING BATTERY LIFE - The following tips can help extend your range and overall battery life:
+ Where possible, assist the motor by pedalling. Par­ticularly when climbing hills or accelerating from stand­still.
+ Avoid excessive overloading of the motor through constant full throttle use, or large weight load. This will lead to over heating and potential damage of internal components.
+ Reduce power output particularly when climbing hills by dropping the PAS to 1 or 2.
+ Cycle the battery from full to empty where possible.
+ Accelerate slowly by starting in a low PAS and switching up as you pedal along.
+ Avoid constant stopping and starting, instead try to maintain a constant pace.
+ Avoid operating your ebike in extreme temperature environments such as snowy or heatwaves.
UNDERSTANDING THE OPERATING PROCEDURES OF YOUR EBIKE WILL HELP MINIMIZE THE POTENTIAL RISK OF INJURY.
Page 19
STARTING & OPERATING 18BILLY EBIKE USER MANUAL
6. PARKING & STORAGE - The following tips can help you when parking and storing your Billy ebike:
+ Switch o the bike when pushing it to avoid acciden­tal acceleration from the motor.
+ Use a lock to reduce the chance of theft, and fold your bike, so that your bike lock can thread through both wheels and as well as the frame.
+ Remove your battery to aid maneuverability and to lighten the total weight of the bike. It also prevents any­one from tampering with it while stored.
+ Time spent parked outdoors and exposed to the el­ements should be followed by time in a dry location to minimize the risk of corrosion and waterlogging. Much like a regular bike, use in wet conditions mandates a more regular maintenance schedule to ensure your bike does not become corroded and to ensure all systems are always working safely.
+ Ensure any racks used to secure or transport your Billy ebike are capable of supporting an ebike of such weight and size.
7. MAINTAINING YOUR BIKE - The following tips can help you to maintain your bike:
+ Maintenance schedule: It’s important that you regular­ly service and maintain your Billy ebike to ensure it runs in optimal condition and you continue to enjoy riding it for many years to come. If you don’t have the mechan­ical expertise and/tools to regularly maintain your Billy ebike’s brakes, drive system, electrics and suspension,
we advise you to seek the help of a certied bicycle
mechanic.
+ Washing your Billy: It’s important to regularly clean your Billy ebike to maintain its upkeep and prevent it from corrosion. Don’t blast it from short distances using high pressure water, instead use a damp cloth to wipe o dirt and debris. Once clean, lubricate joints, con­nections and general metallic surfaces to minimize the chances of rust and corrosion.
