  • 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 e-bike is too dangerous to ride. Do not begin learning to ride a bicycle using an e-bike.
  • Page 7 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.
  • Page 8: Safety Tips

    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.
  • Page 9 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.
  • Page 10: Maximum Load

    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.
  • Page 11: Battery Power

    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.
  • Page 12: Charging Your E-Bike

    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 13: Battery Care

    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.

    The Motor and Wheel Assembly The Swift has a 500 Watt magnetic DC brushless motor on the rear wheel hub. This type of motor has excel- lent low-end torque and high efficiency when working within its range. Note that while the motor is very quiet, it does produce some noise.
  • Page 19 The Brakes Front Brakes The brakes on your e-bike are drum-brakes, like those found on gas scooters and motorcycles. They generally provide for very fine 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.
  • Page 20: Maintenance And Troubleshooting

    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.
  • Page 21 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.
  • Page 22 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.
  • Page 23 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.
