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. Important Notes • Ebikes are Fast! E-bikes are capable of traveling at higher speeds than many bicycle riders are accustomed to.
Items to Carry with the Electric Bike It is a good idea to carry the following items with you at all times when you ride your e-bike. • The charger, to charge the bike in case the battery power runs out. • 30 Amp Fuse, spares for the batteries, in case the fuses blow (if applicable). • A lock, to secure your e-bike when you park it. • A helmet, as required by safety laws. Inspecting your Electric Bike Always inspect your e-bike before you ride it, to make sure its safety features are operating properly.
Warning When you activate the e-bike, the electrical system becomes live. Do not try to affect changes to the E-Bike (such as removing the battery or repairing electrical components) while the E-Bike is activated. Turn the E-Bike off and remove the key before you attempt to access any of the electrical components. Also, the battery carries a significant electric charge and can injure people if not treated properly and with respect.
Signalling Please use the appropriate hand signals when riding your ebike. Lights The headlight and tail light are useful features when you are riding at night or in dark areas. They radically improve your safety in mixed traffic. The lights on your e-bike consume some electricity. Keeping them on may reduce the maximum distance you can travel on one charge by about 5 %. Pedaling This e-bike is designed to be a motor-assisted bicycle.
Riding in Cold Weather Your e-bike is designed to operate year-round. However, in very cold conditions or when there is a lot of snow or slush on the ground, it is possible for the motor in the e-bike to get wet or for the brakes to function less effectively, just as it can happen in wet weather. Below 10 degrees Celsius, the battery will not work as well as it would in warmer temperatures.
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 guage will jump and indicate the currently available battery power. If the power has dropped significantly, you should charge your e-bike.
Charging your E-Bike Charging your e-bike is a simple process. You require the following: • The charger that came with your e-bike. • A 110V household electrical outlet. Charger Warning Only use the chargers that were supplied with your e-bike. Using chargers that do not have specifications identical to those which came with the e-bike could irreparably damage your e-bike’s battery and electrical systems, and may cause injury. To charge your e-bike, follow these steps: 1. Turn off the e-bike. 2.
Understanding your voltage Electric scooters primary power is displayed on your unit as a voltage. This number in short shows how powerful your unit is, and as it dips down when the unit will no longer be able to perform. Depending on your unit’s voltage and battery type (Lithium vs Lead Acid) will effect the range of voltage between what is fully charged and when it exceeds the low voltage threshold.
ASSEMBLING the Phoenix For a full assembly video visit or scan the QR code here: www.daymak.com/assembly/phoenix Charging the Phoenix First take the charger that came with your Phoenix and plug it into the the wall. Once you have done that locate the charging port of the Phoenix located on the left side of the frame near the pedals. Once the bike is charging the charger will glow red. When the unit is fully charged the charger will glow green and then your bike is ready to go.
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. • Full Charge: Do not allow the battery to run down completely and lie in storage without a charge. This significantly reduces the battery’s lifespan and may cause damage.
