About Daymak

Daymak is one of Canada’s largest Alternative Vehicle providers. We design, engineer, man-

ufacture, import and repair everything from recreational dirt bikes, go-karts and electric

golf cars to alternative transportation solutions such as e-bikes and gas scooters.

Our electric bicycles represent an energy-ecient and eco-friendly alternative for people

who need to get around the city. They greatly increase the practicality of bicycle transpor-

tation in urban centres. Costing only a few cents to charge, an e-bike can make city life

more convenient and much less expensive.

While there are many new Green technologies that are still in their infancy, electric bicycles

have been developing over the last 40 years or more. E-bike technology has been dramat-

ically rened since the introduction of the rst custom-conversion bicycles. Today, electric

bicycles are a supremely reliable and aordable means of transportation.

Daymak is constantly developing new eco-friendly alternative transportation strategies,

led by its own Research and Development department in Toronto, Canada. We are always

Introduction

E-Bikes

Riding an electric bicycle is a great way to hop around town conveniently and cheaply. E-

Bikes represent a natural progression in the development of urban transportation.

Using only small amounts of electricity, e-bikes have the potential to radically reduce the

amount of pollution in our cities. As well, they are very quiet, so they do not add to the high

levels of noise pollution which we often take for granted. They are easy, and usually free,

to park. They are unobtrusive and highly practical additions to the urban landscape.

E-bikes are also inexpensive. They (currently) require no registration, no insurance, no li-

cence and do not incur parking charges. As well, compared to internal combustion en-

gines, the engines in electric vehicles have fewer moving parts and require far less main-

tenance.

Your Daymak e-bike is the result of Daymak’s years of experience, the highly trained tech-

nical skills of our sta and careful, ongoing design work by our engineers. We hope you

enjoy using this product and welcome any feedback that you may have.

New Laws

Most provinces in Canada, most states in the U.S.A, the United Kingdom and many Euro-

pean countries have new laws that permit cyclists to use electric motors to assist the reg-

ular operation of bicycles. Please check with your provincial or state government to learn

about your local laws. At the back of this manual you will nd the some of the common

Canadian provincial regulations that govern e-bikes.

Riding Instructions

This guide assumes that you already know how to ride a standard bicycle. Before you try

to ride an electric bicycle, you should be very familiar with controlling and balancing a

normal bicycle.

Caution

If you do not have cycling experience, an e-bike is too dangerous to ride. Do not begin

learning to ride a bicycle using an e-bike.

Important Notes

• Ebikes are Fast! E-bikes are capable of traveling at higher speeds than many bicy-

cle riders are accustomed to. Use caution at all times, especially when travelling

in mixed trac. Always take into account driving and traveling conditions.

• Obey the Law. Be sure to follow all provincial and city traﬃ c laws. This includes

obeying stop signs, checking carefully when turning, and riding defensively. An

e-bike is a motorized vehicle, even though it is classed as a bicycle. You must fol-

low the law.

• Stay Sober. Never ride your bicycle while intoxicated. An e-bike is capable of trav-

eling faster than a normal bicycle, and you should always be in control of it.

• Share the Road. Be careful in mixed traﬃ c. When on bicycle paths, traveling near

pedestrians, or on recreational trails, try to be polite and courteous to those using

the paths with you. E-bikes are new in most cities, so other users of the roads and

recreational paths may not know how to deal with e-bike riders. Bear in mind that,

in a sense, e-bike riders are “ambassadors” for this new method of transportation.

Items to Carry with the Electric Bike

It is a good idea to carry the following items with you at all times when you ride your e-bike.

• The charger, to charge the bike in case the battery power runs out

• 30 Amp Fuse, spares for the batteries, in case the fuses blow

• A lock, to secure your e-bike when you park it

• A helmet, as required by safety laws

Inspecting your Electric Bike

Always inspect your e-bike before you ride it, to make sure its safety features are oper-

ating properly. Many accidents can be avoided with routine inspections. Once you are

comfortable with your e-bike, you will be able to detect small changes in the way it feels.

If anything changes between uses, make sure to have it properly examined. Also, be sure

to listen for changes in the sounds your e-bike makes over time. Any mechanical or power

issues may have eects on the sounds the bicycle makes.

Holding the Handlebars

As with a normal bicycle or gas scooter, place your ngers over the brake levers, using the

palms of your hand and your thumbs to wrap around and under the handlegrips. Doing

this allows you to activate the brakes easily, by squeezing your hand, in case you have to

stop quickly. This is the safe way to control your electric bicycle.

Turning your E-bike On and Off

To turn on your e-bike, insert the key into the“ignition”, located just below the dash board,

and turn the key to the right. When your e-bike is activated, the power indicator will light

and the battery charge indicator will jump, showing you how much power your e-bike

has. To turn o the e-bike, simply turn the key to the left, and remove the key.

Warning

When you activate the e-bike, the electrical system becomes live. Do not try to aect

changes to the E-Bike (such as removing the battery or repairing electrical components)

while the E-Bike is activated. Turn the E-Bike o and remove the key before you attempt

to access any of the electrical components. Also, the battery carries a signicant electric

charge and can injure people if not treated properly and with respect.

Accelerating and Decelerating

The throttle is found on the right-side hand grip on the handlebars. Turn the grip forward

(away from you) to accelerate. To decelerate, release the grip (turn it towards you). Don’t

over-rotate the accelerator, as this could damage the battery and electrical components.

Warning

Do not activate the accelerator until you are seated on the bicycle and are ready to accel-

erate. The e-bike can easily escape from your control, possibly injuring you or others, and

the e-bike may be damaged by being dropped.

Stopping

Your e-bike has two sets of brakes, at the front and at the rear. The levers attached to the

handlebars, on the left and right, activate the brakes. Pull the levers toward you to activate

the brakes.

You can use both brakes to come to a stop more quickly, or you can use one of the brakes

to come to a gentle stop, depending on your riding needs at the moment.

When the brakes are activated, the power to the engine is automatically turned o, until

you release the brakes. This allows you to stop safely.

Safety Tips

• When you are traveling in wet weather, water may cause your brakes to function

less eciently because it reduces friction between the brake pads and the wheels.

Take care to slow down and give yourself more room to stop or slow if necessary.

• It is a good idea to have your brakes and brake pads checked regularly. The brake

pads will eventually wear down through friction, and after signicant use will have

to be replaced.

Signalling

The Horn

The e-bike has a horn. The horn button is on the left handlebar. Simply press it to activate

the horn.

Turning Signal Lights

Your e-bike has turn signal lights. The turn signal activator is on the left handlebar. Push it

left or right to activate it to indicate that you are turning in the appropriate direction, and

press the middle of the button to turn it o. The turn signals also emit a noise, to ensure

that everyone knows you are turning. This turn signal cannot be disabled without also

disabling the visual signal.

Lights

The headlight and taillight are useful features when you are riding at night or in dark areas.

They radically improve your safety in mixed trac. The switch is located on the left handle-

bar. The lights on your e-bike consume some electricity. Keeping them on may reduce the

maximum distance you can travel on one charge by about 5 %.

Pedaling

This e-bike is designed to be a motor-assisted bicycle. You can use the motor by itself, but

ideally, you can work with the motor by pedaling. This increases the distance you can

travel on your e-bike, because it assists the motor and reduces the amount of electricity

you draw from the battery.

Riding in Wet Weather

Your e-bike is designed to function in wet conditions, such as when it is raining. However,

because the motor is on the rear wheel, it is easy to slip when moving at high speeds. If it

is very wet, be sure to avoid high speeds.

When you are traveling in wet weather, water may cause your brakes to function less ef-

ciently because it reduces friction between the brake pads and the wheels. Take care to

slow down and give yourself more room to stop or slow if necessary.

The Motor and Water

Your e-bike is not designed to be immersed in water. Always ensure that the water level

does not go above the middle of the tire, to prevent water from getting inside the motor.

Water in the motor can cause short-circuits and may damage the electrical systems in your

e-bike.

Riding in Cold Weather

Your e-bike is designed to operate year-round. However, in very cold conditions or when

there is a lot of snow or slush on the ground, it is possible for the motor in the e-bike to get

wet or for the brakes to function less eciently, just as can happen in wet weather. Below

10 degrees Celsius, the battery will not work as well as it would in warmer temperatures.

While Lithium-Ion batteries perform better than Lead-Acid batteries in temperature ex-

tremes, both will experience reduced performance in cold temperatures.

Also, riding the e-bike in cold temperatures may require you to replace the battery sooner

rather than later.

Operating Instructions

Using the Rear Storage Compartment

The rear storage compartment is opened using the key provided to you when you pur-

chased your e-bike. Insert the key and turn it to the right to open the compartment. Close

the case and turn the key in the opposite direction to lock the compartment again. You can

use this compartment to store the charger and associated cables, so you can

recharge your e-bike if it runs out of power. It can also hold a locking mechanism, such a u-

lock, for added security when parking your e-bike. The space provided is perfectly suited

for these purposes.

Opening the Seat Trunk

To open the seat trunk, insert the key into the lock on the left side of the e-bike just below

the seat. Turn it all the way to the right. The seat will snap open and pop up.

To close the seat trunk, make sure that there is nothing blocking the locking mechanism,

such as items you have placed in the storage compartment, and push the seat down with

force. You will hear a “click” sound when it is properly closed.

Parking and Locking your E-bike*

When you want to park your e-bike for a short time, either when you have reached your

destination or are at home, follow these steps:

1. Stop the e-bike and position it as you want it.

2. Get o the e-bike, making sure to keep it balanced.

3. Stand to the side and slightly to the rear of the e-bike.

4. Hold the kickstand with one foot, and hold on to the e-bike by the rear basket

bracket.This bracket is made of metal and will hold the e-bike’s weight.

5. Pull the back of the seat up and towards you. The e-bike will move backwards.

The kickstand will hold the e-bike in place and anchor the bike.

6. Lock your e-bike to a bicycle locking post or other secure object through the rear

wheel frame or one of the metal frame components.

Warning

Do not let your e-bike drop or fall. The exterior may be damaged. The fall may damage

other components inside the e-bike, as well.

*Your scooter/ebike may or may not have a kickstand.
