Bicycle Part Diagrams Diagram 1: The Gatto Electric Bicycle This diagram illustrates the various parts of your bicycle. 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 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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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 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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
This is an important part of your e-bike. The pedals are not removable and should not be removed. Shock Absorbers Your Monaco e-bike is equipped with Reverse Shock System shock absorbers. These effective but simple devices absorb the energy from bumps and dips, and allow you to have a much more comfortable ride. The Reverse Shock System is superior to normal Monoshock shock absorbers usually found on e-bikes, and pro- vides for a much more comfortable ride.

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 drum brakes on your Smart Bike allow you to stop and are a critical safety feature. Make sure you test them regularly. Take the e-bike to your Daymak dealer if the brakes appear to be losing their stopping power or feel looser than they were previously.
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.

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.

Schedule The frequency of maintenance depends on how much you ride and under which conditions. Recreational riders needs far less maintenance then o -road riders. The harder you ride, the more you have to take care of your bike if you want it to last.
Ebikes and Canadian Law British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon Currently, eight Canadian jurisdictions (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador and Yukon Territory) have legalized power-assisted bicycles for public road use and are treating these vehicles as conventional bicycles and not as motor vehicles. As such, they do not require insurance, registration or licences. E-bike technical specifications must fall within certain parameters, however, The rules are similar in every province, with minor variations, and are not considered controversial.
Specific Riding Requirements Power-assisted bicycles are treated as bicycles. This means: • No driver’s licence is required • No written test is required • No vehicle registration or license plate is required • No motor vehicle liability insurance is required • Operators must be 16 years of age and older • All persons are required to wear an approved bicycle helmet • Only electric bicycles that conform to the federal Motor Vehicle Safety Act regula- tions and are labelled as a “power-assisted bicycle” are eligible for the pilot program. Equipment A power-assisted bicycle (e-bike): • Has steering handlebars and is equipped with pedals • Is designed to be propelled primarily by muscular power and to travel on not more than three wheels • Has a motor that has a power output rating of 500W or less. The motor is electric, and is incapable of propelling the cycle at speed of 32km/h or greater on level ground, without pedaling.
TPS Training Bulletin TPS Training Bulletin Attention Traffic and Training Sergeants: Recently we have had some enquiries from officers in the field and members of the public regarding e-bikes and have found that there is some confusion over the definition of a Power Assisted Bicycle (e-bike).
