Bicycle Part Diagrams Diagram 1: The Rickshaw Deluxe Electric Mobility Scooter This diagram illustrates the various parts of your vehicle. Please note that many of these parts are not us- er-serviceable and should be repaired only by trained professionals. This is especially true of the electrical systems and the mechanical components.
Riding Instructions This guide assumes that you already know how to ride a standard mobility scooter. Before you try to ride an electric mobility scooter, you should be very familiar with controlling a mobility scooter. Important Notes • This electric mobility scooter is capable of traveling at higher speeds than many bicycle riders are accustomed to.

Inspecting your Electric Scooter Always inspect your mobility scooter 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 mobility scooter, you will be able to detect small changes in the way it feels.
Stopping Your scooter has two sets of brakes, at the front and at the rear. The lever attached on the right throttle grip activate the brakes. Pull the lever 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.

Riding in Wet Weather Your scooter 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.
Operating Instructions 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 fold and lift to reveal the compartment. 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.

Daymak pioneered the development of intelligent component control in e-bikes. The “D- 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. In future, it will allow for other ways of recharging your e-bike’s batteries, such as by using solar or wind power.
