Page 6: Riding Instructions
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 scooter is too dangerous to ride. Do not begin learning to ride a bicycle using an scooter.
Page 7 Inspecting your Electric Scooter Always inspect your scooter before you ride it, to make sure its safety features are operat- ing properly. Many accidents can be avoided with routine inspections. Once you are com- fortable with your scooter, 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.
Page 8 Stopping Your scooter activates the brakes if neither the forward nor the reverse levers are de- pressed. This is a safety feature to ensure that the motor is disengaged when a neutral position is desired. 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.
Page 9 Pedaling This scooter 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 scooter, because it assists the motor and reduces the amount of electricity you draw from the battery.
Page 10: Operating Instructions
Operating Instructions Using the Rear Storage Compartment The rear storage compartment is opened using the key provided to you when you pur- chased your scooter. 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 scooter if it runs out of power.
Page 11 Maximum Load Do not exceed the maximum load capabilities of your scooter. You can nd the exact load- ing capacity listed in the technical speci cations in this guide. If you exceed the maximum load, the performance of the scooter will su er. Exceeding the maximum load of your scooter could cause damage to the shocks, to the mechanism and, ultimately, even to the frame.
Page 12: The Battery
The Battery This section details what you need to know about the battery that powers your scooter. Always remember to treat your scooter’s electrical systems with respect. Battery Power The dashboard has a battery charge indicator. When the scooter is activated, the needle will jump and indicate the currently available battery power.
Page 13 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.
Page 14: Battery Care
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. •...
Page 15 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 scooter in cold temperatures may cause your battery to have to be replaced sooner.

Contact your local Daymak dealer to purchase a new battery. When replacing your battery, dispose of it at a proper municipal battery recycling facility.
Page 17: Technical Data
Daymak pioneered the development of intelligent component control in scooters. The “D- Drive” technol- ogy developed by Daymak is the brain of your scooter. It allows your scooter to achieve faster acceleration, to climb steeper hills, and to save energy. In future, it will allow for other ways of recharging your scooter’s batteries, such as by using solar or wind power.

The Brakes Front Brakes The brakes on your scooter are magnetic brakes - they weigh signi cantly less than standard brake drum or hydraulic brakes. Using these brakes helps to reduce the weight of the scooter and improve its performance. They also provide good friction-grip when they activated.

Page 20: Maintenance And Troubleshooting
Please contact your Daymak dealer for speci c 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.
Page 21 The drum brakes on your scooter allow you to stop and are a critical safety feature. Make sure you test them regularly. Take the scooter to your Daymak dealer if the brakes appear to be losing their stopping power or feel looser than they were previously.
Page 22 The Motor Do not service the motor yourself. Bring the scooter to your Daymak dealer for service. The motor in your scooter is a highly complex and ne-tuned mechanism. Repairing it requires signi cant expertise. We suggest maintenance every 100 running hours or so.
Page 23 Escooter Maintenance Cleaning Cleaning is extremely important this will ensure your scooter will serve you for a long time. In the long run, it will save you money and a lot of time waiting for the scooter to be repaired. You should clean your escooter weekly. Do not use aggressive power jets or water sprays when washing the escooter and keep water o the battery as much as you can.
