RIDING INSTRUCTIONS

This guide assumes familiarity with riding a standard bicycle. Ensure you are comfortable with controlling and balancing a normal bicycle before riding an electric bicycle.

Caution

An e-bike is too dangerous for beginners. Do not start learning to ride on an e-bike if you have no cycling experience.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• Ebikes are Fast: E-bikes can travel at higher speeds than many riders are accustomed to. Exercise caution at all times, especially in mixed traffic, and consider driving and traveling conditions.
• Obey the Law: Follow all provincial and city traffic laws, including obeying stop signs, checking for traffic when turning, and riding defensively. An e-bike is a motorized vehicle.
• Stay Sober: Never ride while intoxicated. E-bikes are capable of faster travel, and you must remain in control.
• Share the Road: Be careful in mixed traffic. Allow faster vehicles to overtake and give ample room to slower vehicles.

ITEMS TO CARRY WITH THE ELECTRIC BIKE

• The charger.
• 30 Amp Fuse (spares for batteries, if applicable).
• A lock to secure the e-bike when parked.
• A helmet, as required by safety laws.

INSPECTING YOUR ELECTRIC BIKE

Always inspect your e-bike before riding to ensure safety features are operating correctly. Routine inspections help avoid accidents. Pay attention to any changes in the bike's feel or sounds, as these may indicate mechanical or power issues.

HOLDING THE HANDLEBARS

Place fingers over the brake levers, wrap palms and thumbs around the handlegrips. This allows for easy brake activation by squeezing your hand, enabling quick stops.

TURNING YOUR E-BIKE ON AND OFF

To turn on, insert the key into the ignition (located on the battery) and turn right. The power indicator and battery charge indicator will light up. To turn off, turn the key left and remove it.

Warning

When the e-bike is activated, the electrical system is live. Do not attempt to make changes to the e-bike (e.g., removing the battery or repairing electrical components) while it is activated. Turn off the e-bike and remove the key before accessing electrical components. The battery carries a significant electric charge and can cause injury if not handled properly.

ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING

The throttle is on the right-hand grip. Turn counterclockwise (towards you) to accelerate. To decelerate, release the grip (turn it away from you). Avoid over-rotating the accelerator, as it can damage the battery and electrical components.

Warning

Do not activate the accelerator until seated and ready to move. The e-bike can easily escape control, potentially causing injury or damage.

STOPPING

The e-bike has front and rear brakes, activated by levers on the handlebars. Pull levers toward you to brake. Use both brakes for quicker stops or one for a gentler stop. Power to the motor automatically turns off when brakes are applied, allowing for safe stopping.

SAFETY TIPS

• In wet weather, brakes may function less effectively due to reduced friction. Slow down and allow more stopping room.
• Regularly check brakes and brake pads, as they wear down with use and will eventually need replacement.
• Engage the rear brakes first before the front brakes to avoid flipping the unit.

LIGHTS

Headlight and tail lights improve safety in dark areas and mixed traffic. They consume electricity, potentially reducing travel distance by about 5%.

PEDALING

This e-bike is a motor-assisted bicycle. While the motor can be used alone, pedaling with the motor increases travel distance and reduces electricity consumption from the battery.

RIDING IN WET WEATHER

The e-bike is designed for wet conditions, but the rear-wheel motor can cause slipping at high speeds. Avoid high speeds in very wet conditions. Water can reduce brake effectiveness; slow down and allow more stopping room.

THE MOTOR AND WATER

Do not immerse the e-bike in water. Ensure water levels do not exceed the middle of the tire to prevent water from entering the motor. Water in the motor can cause short-circuits and damage electrical systems.

RIDING IN COLD WEATHER

The e-bike is designed for year-round use. In very cold conditions or snow/slush, the motor may get wet, and brakes may function less effectively. Below 10°C, battery performance decreases. Lithium-Ion batteries perform better in temperature extremes than Lead-Acid, but both experience reduced performance. Cold temperatures may require earlier battery replacement.

MAXIMUM LOAD

Do not exceed the e-bike's maximum load capabilities. Exceeding the maximum load will reduce performance, potentially damage shocks, the mechanism, or the frame, and could cause the motor to overheat or burn out. Refer to technical specifications for exact loading capacity.

LONG-TERM STORAGE OF YOUR E-BIKE

For long-term storage, disconnect the circuit breaker to prevent accidental activation. Refer to "The Battery" section for battery maintenance during storage.

THE BATTERY

This section provides essential information about your e-bike's battery. Treat electrical systems with respect.

BATTERY POWER

The dashboard features a battery charge indicator. When activated, the gauge shows available battery power. Charge the e-bike if the power has dropped significantly.

DISTANCE AND POWER

The battery has a range of 35+ km before recharging. Range depends on rider weight, wind resistance, riding habits, terrain (hills/inclines), and tire pressure.

SAVING POWER

For longer distances, conserve electricity with these habits:

• Coasting: Use momentum downhill or on flat surfaces without drawing motor power.
• Stopping and Starting: Minimize stop-and-go movements, as starting from a full stop uses more power.
• Weight: Remove unnecessary weight to reduce motor power draw.
• Air Pressure: Ensure proper tire pressure to reduce drag and increase efficiency.
• Head and Tail Lights: Turn off lights to conserve power (may reduce distance by 5%).
• Pedalling: Assist acceleration from a stop by pedaling.

CHARGING YOUR E-BIKE

Charging requires the provided charger and a 110V household electrical outlet.

Charger Warning

Only use the supplied chargers. Using incompatible chargers can irreparably damage the e-bike's battery and electrical systems, and may cause injury.

Charging Steps:

1. Turn off the e-bike.
2. Plug the charger cable into the e-bike's charging port.
3. Plug the charger's power cable into a 110V outlet or portable generator.
4. Allow the battery to charge.
5. Disconnect the charger when the LED light turns green, indicating a full charge.

Warning: If the LED status light does not change from red to green after an extended period (e.g., 6+ hours), or if the battery is very hot, the battery or charger may need replacement. Stop charging and contact your Daymak dealer immediately.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR VOLTAGE

Voltage indicates the e-bike's power. It decreases as the unit's performance drops. Battery type (Lithium vs. Lead Acid) affects the voltage range between full charge and the low voltage threshold.

LOW VOLTAGE THRESHOLD

The unit protects the battery by preventing the motor from drawing power below the Low Voltage Threshold, increasing the unit's lifespan. If the motor cuts off or fails to engage, voltage may be dropping past the threshold. Check voltage via the Bluetooth app (if applicable) or the provided chart.

VOLTAGE CHART

LITHIUM FULL/LOW VOLTAGE READING

Lithium battery voltage readings depend on the battery's construction (number of series cells, denoted by "S"). Contact your local Daymak dealer to determine your battery's exact series configuration.

CHARGING THE TOFINO X 36V

Plug the charger into the wall and then into the charging port located on the right side of the Tofino X 36V frame.

TECHNICAL DATA

This section provides technical specifications for the e-bike.

THE MOTOR AND WHEEL ASSEMBLY

The Tofino X 36V features a 350 Watt magnetic DC brushless motor on the rear wheel hub, offering excellent low-end torque and high efficiency. It is quiet but produces some noise. A speed reduction gear and free clutch are attached to the rear hub.

THE FREEWHEEL

The wheels have freewheels, meaning the drive train is not fixedly geared. This allows the e-bike to continue moving without slowing when coasting or traveling downhill, even with the engine off. This feature enables higher speeds and conserves electrical power by allowing the motor to rest.

THE CONTROLLER

Daymak pioneered intelligent component control in e-bikes. The Daymak Drive technology is the e-bike's brain, enabling faster acceleration, climbing steeper hills, and saving energy. The electronic controller, located under the seat assembly, regulates speed and electronic functions, offering stepless speed adjustment, motor cutoff upon braking, low voltage protection, and fuses to prevent excess current damage.

THE BRAKES

The e-bike is equipped with disc brakes, providing fine stopping and control. While a tested technology, brakes require periodic servicing and tension adjustment. Brake activation increases tension and engages clamps for effective stopping.

THE CHAIN AND PEDALS

Pedals connect to the rear wheel via the chain, forming a human-powered "drive train." Pedals are not removable and are an important part of the e-bike.

VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (VIN)

Your unit has a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Record and keep it safe for theft prevention and warranty registration on Daymak.com. The VIN on the Tofino X 36V is located on the neck of the bike, above the forks and below the Daymak symbol.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

This section outlines common problems and solutions. Many parts are not user-serviceable and require professional repair; altering these components voids the warranty.

TIRE PRESSURE

Maintain proper tire pressure for optimal performance and to prevent damage. Cold weather lowers pressure, while warm weather increases it. Follow these steps to inflate tires:

1. Identify recommended pressure on the tire sidewall.
2. Locate the air valve on the inner rim.
3. Remove the valve cap.
4. Place the pump nozzle over the valve.
5. Inflate to the recommended pressure, avoiding over-inflation.
6. Remove the pump nozzle without losing significant air.
7. Replace the valve cap.

Proper tire pressure allows for greater travel distance on a single charge.

REPLACING FLAT TIRES

Replacing e-bike tire tubes is more complex than with regular bicycles, requiring tools, skill, and patience. The front wheel is easier to service than the rear wheel, which is connected to the motor. If unfamiliar with rear motor components, contact your Daymak dealer for instructions or assistance with changing tires.

THE MOTOR

Do not service the motor yourself. Bring the e-bike to your Daymak dealer for service. Motor repair requires significant expertise. Suggested maintenance is every 100 running hours.
