Great video! Here are a few steps that could make the assembly process easier: 1.Install the Wheel Early: Consider installing the wheel right after the handlebar. This can help stabilize the bike and make the rest of the assembly smoother. 2. Wheel Installation Tip: When installing the wheel, avoid attaching the washer and nut on one side until you have the other side properly aligned. This can simplify the process. 3. Turn Signal Placement: Attach the turn signals before Attaching the headlight. This approach makes it easier to position and secure the turn signals. 4.Headset Bolt Adjustment: When checking the bolt on top of the headset, ensure that the two side bolts are slightly loose. Otherwise, adjusting the top bolt may not be effective. 5. Check Torque: After completing the assembly, use a torque wrench to ensure all nuts and bolts are tightened to the appropriate torque specifications. A torque wrench is not included but is available on Amazon and is a valuable tool for anyone working on their bike. Professional bike shops use torque wrenches for precise adjustments. p.s. save the box for 15 - 30 days just incase
That’s a long & drawn out way to say this guy in the video really hasn’t got a clue what he’s doing 😂 which I agree with. Describes cross threading but then has no idea how to differentiate a left handed thread from a right handed thread 😂. Also pretty sure the front forks are not air shocks as I see no air valve but I could be wrong about that ?
Agreed with your advice except for maybe #1 as he mentioned in the video that there's more stability with the disposable stand? Also I did comment above, but maybe you can comment too on the below? @erides However when it's at a standstill and I hit the accelerator, there is a quick clanky noise from the back tire area.. Any advice?
@@alanfranklin8301 Well, #1 might not always be stable, but if you find it more stable, you can leave it as is. When you attach the wheel, you'll be adding more weight to the front with the headlight and turn signals. If you’re doing it alone, it’s much easier to lift the front with one hand and insert the wheel with no headlight installed. Regarding the noise it might be the brake disc hitting the pads. Even if you bike is new the brakes always need to be adjusted before riding the bike. you can check if the disc touching the pads search how to adjust hydraulic brakes on yt and if disc little bent then you can use my technic as in this video and its the easiest way to correct bent disc. th-cam.com/video/rc7Up1qX1Mg/w-d-xo.html
This is a stand-up guy right here! Thoroughly answers all questions thrown at him, does proper research to repair and/or replace defective parts. What more can you ask for?😎
Could you make a video showing off the display and any settings or controls you can adjust. You also mention a phone app on the website but havent found any info about it.
Thanks for this, could have used it 2 days ago but it's still great to have. Love my billy goat v3 so far. However when it's at a standstill and I hit the accelerator, there is a quick clanky noise from the back tire.. Any advice?
Got mine today and started assembly. First, the mirrors are a Pain. The one on the left had the clamp post forward, and the mirror was good on that side but the right side you didn't show but from what I can see you mounted the handlebar clamp post side to the rear, which puts the mirror bar right in the way of the shifter and everything. I left that off. Second, the brake rotor came seperately, and I had to figure out what direction it should go by watching this video so I could bolt that on the tire correctly. And lastly, the spacers for the front tire, Does the fork slots go over those spacers or do they slide up against the sides of the fork slots where the axle is bolted on?
Thanks for the feedback. We’ll try to show that on the next one. This video was made before we made the decision to pull the brake rotor off the wheel for shipping purposes since it was scratching the frame. There is no specific direction on the rotor, it just gets bolted into the one side of the wheel. The spacers go on the inside of the fork on both sides. I hope that answers your question.
@@GoatPowerBikes Okay. Got the front wheel on today and mounted the battery. Tried to power it up and I get a blank screen. Tried remounting the battery. Pretty sure I got it on solidly. Put the charger on it for hours. Still nothing. I want to ride this and I've been very meticulous in putting this together due to a lack of instructions. Now that the battery is in I should see it boot up regardless of how big the Ah in the battery is. But I'm getting nothing...
@@GoatPowerBikes No. It wasn't that. There is a hidden on/off switch under the battery charge rubber flap. I found it after I removed the battery to see if it was mounted incorrectly. The instructions in the booklet are terrible, the slip of paper taped to the box is too small to read. The bike is Great BTW. And I have an engineering background. Just taking time to make sure I'm doing the assembly right.
This billy Goat Ebike looks like the V2 shorter battery and I don't see the screws attachment for optional 2nd Battery, the new V3 has?? Right?? Please clarify.
My biggest issue is, living in the most hilly City in California, can any of these bikes really throttle up a hill without peddling and do it at a decent speed? It's a serious question, I'm totally in the market for some thing, I just want the most power and most torque humanly possible. Any recommendations?
My bike came destroyed from delivery. 🚚. Bike looks really good, but was totally damage all over the place from California to Chicago. Hopefully there’s a replacement sooner than I think.
Have been loving my bike, but the front brake came busted and I’ve been having to keep to low speeds for safety reasons. One of the first things the people in the Fan Facebook page say you should upgrade is the brakes. The stock ones are iffy, and in my experience, nonfunctional and dangerous.
I wish these companies would go overkill with foam and cardboard in these boxes. Because the shippers abuse the hell out of them. I picked up my last bike in-person to avoid the gamble. Wish I was closer to CA….
@@HawkAlumn If the company would overkill in their packaging the People would have less fear in delivery and the companies would make more money in less damage goods.
Hello, I have the v3 Power Goat, when you mentioned brake noise what did you mean? my front tire squeels when its moving forward at a slow speed. I can't figure out the issue.

I thought I was buying a quality bike when I purchased my Ghostcat "F3" . Wish I would have bought a GoatBike. So many of these bike review channels are merely sales pitches so do your research before buying.

I orded one about an hour ago. You being local was definitely something that helped me decide on this bike
Very informative. Shipment will be in tomorrow and I’m gettin’ antsy!
The Billy Goat V2 and V3 are beasts! Love my V2 and just installed a second external battery for range!
This will help when I get mine delivered.
Great Video!
Why have you put the front fender round the wrong way 16:04 plus grease the axell 20:04
Please make a video on how to bleed the breaks. I can’t find any other videos with the RONGLUN breaks system & I’ve never done it before 😅
Nice 🤍🦏🩶
I love the looks and the name of the Billy Goat but I have seen several reviewers say the Motor Goat is more comfortable. At my age comfort rules.

Yes, that's why we made it. We're also in a hilly city in California. It's called the Billy Goat because it can climb hills like a beast!
21:45 There is definitely a need to take the battery out, this bike weighs like 100 pounds 💀
