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 license and do not incur parking charges. As well, compared to internal combustion engines, the engines in electric vehicles have fewer moving parts and require far less maintenance.
Your Daymak e-bike is the result of Daymak’s years of experience, the highly trained technical skills of our staff and careful, ongoing design work by our engineers. We hope you enjoy using this product and welcome any feedback that you may have.

Riding Instructions

This guide assumes that you already know how to ride a standard bicycle. Before you try to ride an e-bike, 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

E-bikes are Fast! E-bikes are capable of traveling at higher speeds than many bicycle riders are accustomed to. Use caution at all times, especially when travelling in mixed traffic c. Always take into account driving and traveling conditions.
Obey the Law. Be sure to follow all provincial and city traffic 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 follow the law.
Stay Sober. Never ride your bicycle while intoxicated. An e-bike is capable of traveling faster than a normal bicycle, and you should always be in control of it.

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
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 operating 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 effects on the sounds the bicycle makes.

Holding the Handlebars
As with a normal bicycle or gas scooter, place your fingers 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 dashboard, 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 off 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 affect changes to the E-Bike (such as removing the battery or repairing electrical components) while the E-Bike is activated. Turn the E-Bike off and remove the key before you attempt to access any of the electrical components. Also, the battery carries a significant 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 accelerate. 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 off , 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 efficiently 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 significant use will have to be replaced.

Signaling

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 off . 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 traffi c. The switch is located on the left handlebar. 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 effectively 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 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 extremes, 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.

Maximum Load
Do not exceed the maximum load capabilities of your e-bike. You can find the exact load-ing capacity listed in the technical specifications in this guide.
If you exceed the maximum load, the performance of the bike will suffer.
Exceeding the maximum load of your e-bike could cause damage to the shocks, to the mechanism and, ultimately, even to the frame. It could also cause your motor to work too aggressively, and it may burn out.

Disconnecting the Circuit Breaker
When the circuit breaker is disconnected, all power from the battery to the e-bike is blocked. This is useful if you are going to store your e-bike or if it is damaged and you wish to bring it to be serviced.
Disable the circuit breaker using the following very simple procedure.

Open the seat compartment.
Find the circuit breaker switch (it should be very obvious).
Activate the switch. The power to the e-bike will be disabled.

Long-Term Storage of your E-bike
If you are storing your bike for a long period, disconnect the circuit breaker. This is a safer way to store the electric bicycle, as it prevents accidental activation of the e-bike and makes it impossible to activate it even with the key. The circuit breaker is found by opening up the battery case. It sits between the battery and the controller.
Please see the section titled “Your Battery” for instructions on battery maintenance while your e-bike is being stored.

The Battery

This section details what you need to know about the battery that powers your e-bike. Always remember to treat your e-bike’s electrical systems with respect.

Battery Power
The dashboard has a battery charge indicator. When the e-bike is activated, the needle will jump and indicate the currently available battery power.
If the power has dropped significantly, you should charge your e-bike.

Distance and Power
Your battery has the capacity to carry you anywhere from 35 to 60 km before it must be recharged. The ability of your battery to power your bicycle depends on many variables. These variables include the weight of the rider, the prevailing wind resistance, the rider’s driving habits, the presence of steep hills and inclines, and other issues such as proper air pressure in the tires.

Saving Power
If you are traveling long distances, you can save a lot of electricity by using better driving habits:

Coasting: When going downhill or over long, fl at road surfaces, try using your e-bike’s momentum and allow it to coast, without drawing power from the motor.
Stopping and Starting: Try to avoid stop-and-go movements. The motor draws more power when starting from a full stop.
Weight: Remove unnecessary weight from the bike. This reduces the amount of power the motor must draw.
Air Pressure: Make sure your tires have the proper air pressure. Proper pressure reduces drag on the tires and radically increases the efficiency of any vehicle.
Head and Tail Lights: Turn off the lights to conserve power, if it is safe to do so. The lights will reduce the distance you can travel by about 5%.
Pedalling: When accelerating from a full stop, you might want to try pedaling to help acceleration

Charging your E-Bike

Charging your e-bike is a simple process. You require the following:

The charger that came with your e-bike.
A 110V household electrical outlet.

Charger Warning
Only use the chargers that were supplied with your e-bike. Using chargers that do not have specifications identical to those that came with the e-bike could irreparably damage your e-bike’s battery and electrical systems, and may cause injury.

To charge your e-bike, follow these steps:

Turn off the e-bike and remove the key from the “ignition.”
Plug the female end of the charger cable into the charging slot on the e-bike. This is found on the outside casing of the e-bike, in front of and just underneath the seat.
Plug the male end of the charger power cable into your wall socket. This should be a 110v household electricity supply. You can also use a portable generator, if necessary, but make sure it provides 110V current.
Allow the e-bike’s battery to charge for the appropriate amount of time (6-12 hours).
Disconnect the charger when the LED light on the charger is green. The batteries have been fully charged.

If your charger’s LED status light does not change from red to green over an extended period of time, for perhaps more than 14 hours, and the battery is very hot, the battery or charger may need replacing. Stop charging and bring both to your Daymak dealer imme-diately. Do not charge the battery.

To charge the Alien, there is a black cap under the front of the seat (between your legs if you were sitting on the unit) Lift that cap down and it will reveal the charging port

Battery Care

Follow these suggestions to maintain your battery’s optimal performance. If you do not follow these suggestions, your battery may lose its ability to maintain a charge and might have to be replaced sooner than would otherwise be necessary.

Charge it: Charge your battery immediately after riding it.
Full Charge: Do not allow the battery to run down completely and lie in storage without a charge. This significantly reduces the battery’s lifespan and may cause damage.
Keep it Charged: When being stored, charge the battery occasionally to make sure its power supply does not run down. Charging it once every 21 days should be sufficient.
Storage Conditions: Store the battery on a fl at, cool, dry surface. Do not allow the battery temperature to drop below 10 degrees Celsius for extended periods of time.

Warning
DO NOT place your Lead-Acid battery on concrete. Concrete drains the battery’s power and will neutralize the lead-acid. Placing the battery on concrete for any length of time will likely result in the battery being drained of power and possibly losing its ability to store electricity.

Cold Weather and your Battery
Below 10 degrees Celsius, the battery will not work as well as it would in warmer tempera-tures. While Lithium-Ion batteries perform better than Lead- Acid batteries in temperature extremes, both will experience reduced performance in cold temperatures.
Also, repeatedly riding the e-bike in cold temperatures may cause your battery to have to be replaced sooner.

Replacement and Disposal
After approximately 300 charges, a lead-acid battery will need to be replaced. A lithium-ion battery will last approximately 1500 charges. When the battery has to be replaced, you will notice that your battery cannot carry as much of a charge as it could initially.
Contact your local Daymak dealer to purchase a new battery.
When replacing your battery, dispose of it at a proper municipal battery recycling facility. If none is available, please contact your local Daymak dealer.

To prevent surges, we have installed a circuit breaker. If you are unable to get power to your bike more than likely your circuit breaker has been triggered and needs to be switched to the on position.
To do this:
Unlock the seat compartment by turning the key clockwise (seen on previous page) then lift the seat up.
Once you look inside you will see this circuit breaker pictured to the right. Make sure the switch is set to ON. If not flip the switch to ON to turn on the power.
Please note with the circuit breaker off the alarm system doesn’t work

Kickstands

Side Kick Stand

This is your basic kickstand and should be used for quick stops only. Your bike is not secure from falling when it is on this kick stand.

Do not operate this machine with the kick-stand down as it may catch on something and damage the machine.

Center Kick Stand

This is your center kickstand and should be used as your primary option when not riding your ebike. Your bike is much more secure from falling when it is on this kick stand.

Do not operate this machine with the kick-stand down as it may catch on something and damage the machine.
To get it up on the center kickstand push (1) with your right foot down and pull up with your right hand somewhere near the rear of the bike while holding the front handlebar with your left hand. Th is will take a little bit of getting used to but it is much more about finesse than strength!

When taking off the center kickstand put your foot in front of the brace (2) and roll the bike towards your foot.

Technical Data

This section provides you with the technical specifications for your e-bike.

The Motor and Wheel Assembly
The Alien has a 500-watt magnetic DC brushless motor on the rear wheel hub. This type of motor has excellent low-end torque and high efficiency when working within its range. Note that while the motor is very quiet, it does produce some noise. Also attached to the rear hub are speed reduction gear and the speed-free clutch.

The Controller
Daymak pioneered the development of intelligent component control in e-bikes. The Daymak Drive technology developed by Daymak is the brain of your e-bike. It allows your e-bike to achieve faster acceleration,
to climb steeper hills, and to save energy. The electronic controller is located under the seat assembly. This controller efficiently regulates the speed and electronic functions of the bicycle. It allows for stepless speed adjustment, shuts off the motor when the
brakes are activated, has low voltage. This can all be regulated by Bluetooth app.

The Brakes
The brakes on your e-bike are disc brakes, like those found on gas scooters and motorcycles. They generally provide for very fi ne stopping and control. This is a very tested and well-designed technology, but even so, the brakes will require servicing from time to time, and may have to be adjusted for tension.
Unlike normal friction-grip bicycle brakes, which clamp down from the outside, the drum brakes clamp from the inside. When the brakes are activated, tension increases and the clamps engage. This is a very effective and reliable way to stop a vehicle.
The brakes are contained within a sealed unit, and are very finely adjusted and fitted.

The Chain and Pedals
The pedals are connected to the rear wheel. Along with the chain, they provide a human-powered “drive train”. This is an important part of your e-bike.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

This section outlines problems you may have and solutions you may be able to use.
Many of the parts in this product are not user-serviceable and should be repaired by trained professionals. This is especially true of the electrical systems and the mechanical components. Alteration of these components voids the warranty.

Tire Pressure
Maintain the air pressure in your tires at the appropriate level. If the air pressure is too low, your e-bike’s performance will suff er and it will become damaged more easily.
Cold weather and lower temperatures will cause the air pressure in your tires to drop, and warmer weather will cause it to increase, even if there are no leaks in the tire tube. To replace the air in your tires, follow this procedure:

Identify the required pressure by examining the text along the side of the tire rim. This text should indicate the recommended pressure for your tire.
Locate the air valve on the inner surface of the tire rim.
Remove the valve cap and place in a secure location.
Place the nozzle end of an air pump (hand-power or mechanical) over the valve.
Pump up the air in the tire, being careful not to let the pressure go above the level prescribed on the side of the tire wall.
Remove the pump nozzle from the air valve without allowing much air to escape from the tire.
Replace the valve cap on the air valve.

Maintaining the proper air pressure will allow you to travel much further on a single charge, because the motor will not have to work as hard to move the e-bike.

Replacing Flat Tires
Replacing flat tire tubes is a more complicated and labor-intensive process with e-bikes than it is with regular bicycles. It requires proper tools, more skill and more patience. The front wheel is easier to service when changing a flat tire than the rear wheel, as the rear wheel is connected to the hub motor and other mechanical parts.
Unless you are very familiar with the mechanical components of the rear motor, attempting to change a fl at rear tire may cause serious problems. Please contact your Daymak dealer for specific instructions on how to remove your wheel and tires safely, and how to replace the tubes.
It may be easier – and safer – to have the tubes replaced by your Daymak dealer.

The Motor
Do not service the motor yourself. Bring the e-bike to your Daymak dealer for service. The motor in your e-bike is a highly complex and fine-tuned mechanism. Repairing it requires significant expertise.
We suggest maintenance every 100 running hours or so.

The Chain
Ensure that the chain on your e-bike is well-oiled and lubricated. It is an important part of your e-bike. As with any bicycle, it needs to be maintained if it is to function.

Shock Absorbers and Comfort
If your riding experience feels bumpier than usual, and you suspect that your shock absorbers are experiencing difficulties, check the air pressure in your tires. If the air pressure is too low, this may be the reason you feel less comfortable. It may have nothing to do with your shock absorbers.
If the problem persists, take your e-bike to your Daymak dealer for servicing.

Bringing in your E-bike for Service

Do not attempt to service the electronic or mechanical parts of your e-bike unless you are absolutely sure of what you are doing and have a solid understanding of electrical and mechanical equipment.
If your e-bike is not performing properly, disconnect the circuit breaker and bring the e-bike to your local Daymak dealer.
Do not store the e-bike without disconnecting the circuit breaker.

Liability
Daymak will not be held responsible for damage or injuries resulting from errors resulting from improperly serviced parts.

Ebike Maintenance

Cleaning
Cleaning is extremely important this will ensure your e-bike will serve you for a long time. In the long run, it will save you money and a lot of time waiting for the bike to be repaired. You should clean your ebike weekly.
Do not use aggressive power jets or water sprays when washing the ebike and keep water off the battery as much as you can. Clean gently but thoroughly and make sure that all the outer casing of the electric parts are dry and clean.

Remove any dirt, debris, sand, mud, grit, grime that got caught on the bike and dry it off . While cleaning, it is a good opportunity to look closely for a worn, loose, cracked, rust, teared or damaged parts. Buckled paint can also be a hint for some parts that need closer inspection.

Lubricating
It is also recommended to lubricate the chain, levers, derailleur, cables, etc. A clean, lubricated e-bike tends to be faster, smoother and quieter. It’s like having a little extra push for free.
Apply the lubricant to the different parts and let it sit a few minutes and then wipe off the excess lubricant with a rag. After a while, clean the different parts with a degreaser to remove any excess dirt that has been collected.

Weather
Don’t leave the bike out in the rain or snow.
Store it somewhere dry and out of direct sunlight. Overheating the batteries, for example, can cause problems.
Do not open up casings, chargers, etc as you are unlikely to be able to reseal them effectively afterward, making them more susceptible to water damage and other extreme weather conditions.
Batteries should be removed from the ebike if not used and charged once a month regardless of usage.

Schedule

The frequency of maintenance depends on how much you ride and under which conditions. Recreational riders needs far less maintenance then off -road riders. The harder you ride, the more you have to take care of your bike if you want it to last. There are various time intervals for proper maintenance. Quick maintenance should be done before & after every ride.
