It’s important to understand the functionality as well as
the limitations of your Billy ebike to ensure you contin-
ue 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 com-
ponents to fail and may lead to serious injury.
2. SPEED SENSOR - Your Billy ebike’s motor and con-
troller are designed to provide you assistance as you
pedal. Once you begin pedalling, the system senses ro-
tations 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 off 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 de-
grees 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 ped-
al, or when you twist the throttle. Your Billy ebike comes
with 5 programmed levels of PAS, with 0 being no as-
sistance 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 affect 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. Par-
ticularly when climbing hills or accelerating from stand-
still.
+ 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.
