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….
Assembly guide
Assembly time should be around 20 minutes 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 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 Easyup stem-lifter 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!).
Quick start guide
shifters SW-E6010-L
Ensure the battery is fully engaged in the battery mount and hold down the power button to initial-
ise 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. Hold the top-left button
down for 3 seconds to power up the lights and use the triangular marked buttons below to select
mode. Moving over to the right-hand controls. The triangular marked buttons determine gear
shifts and the top right button selects automatic shift functions. 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.
