Introduction 

E-Bikes 

Riding an electric bicycle is a great way to hop around town conveniently and cheaply. E-
Bikes represent a natural progression in the development of urban transportation. 
 
Using only small amounts of electricity, e-bikes have the potential to radically reduce the 
amount of pollution in our cities. As well, they are very quiet, so they do not add to the high 
levels of noise pollution which we often take for granted. They are easy, and usually free, 
to park. They are unobtrusive and highly practical additions to the urban landscape. 
 
E-bikes are also inexpensive. They (currently) require no registration, no insurance, no 
licence and do not incur parking charges. As well, compared to internal combustion 
engines, the engines in electric vehicles have fewer moving parts and require far less 
maintenance. 
 
Your Daymak e-bike is the result of Daymak’s years of experience, the highly trained 
technical skills of our staff and careful, ongoing design work by our engineers. We hope 
you enjoy using this product and welcome any feedback that you may have. 

New Laws 

Most provinces in Canada, most states in the U.S.A, the United Kingdom and many 
European countries have new laws that permit cyclists to use electric motors to assist the 
regular operation of bicycles. Please check with your provincial or state government to 
learn about your local laws. At the back of this manual you will find the some of the 
common Canadian provincial regulations that govern e-bikes.
