The Brakes
Front Brakes
The brakes on your e-bike are Hydraulic-disc brakes, like those found on gas scooters and motorcycles. They
generally provide for very ne stopping and control. This is well-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.
Hydraulic brakes need to be serviced from time to time - generally the mineral oil in the reservoir will last for
a long time, but if the hydraulic brakes feel “spongy” upon depressing the brake lever, or if they lose stopping
power, it is time to bring the ebike for service. Take care not to introduce air in the brake line as this may cause
the problem. “Bleeding” the hydraulic brakes is a tedious and di cult operation that should be conducted by
service professionals only. Contact your local Daymak dealer for more information.
The Chain and Pedals*
The pedals are connected to the rear wheel. Along with the chain, they provide a human- powered “drive
train”. This is an important part of your e-bike. The pedals are not removable and should not be removed.
Shock Absorbers
Your e-bike is equipped with Reverse Shock System shock absorbers. These e ective 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 provides for
a much more comfortable ride.
While they are very resilient, please note that very sharp or large shocks, such as drops from a height of 15
cm or more, can cause serious damage to your shock absorbers. Replacing them is a complex and time-con-
suming task, so do be careful when dropping from larger heights.
*Your scooter may or may not have pedals.
