Top 10 Reasons to Buy an eBike
We offer two flexible warranty options for you:
If you choose to have your eBike shipped or pick it up from our store in the box/crate, there is a 14 day parts replacement warranty. You should have a basic working knowledge of eBikes and electric motors along with a sufficient set of tools. If not, please ask a qualified person to help with assembly. We guarantee your eBike to be free from missing parts or manufacturers defects. If you are missing a part please let us know within 14 days of receiving your eBike so we can get a replacement for you. If your eBike was shipped to you we will ship you the missing part. If you picked the eBike up from us, we will call you to let you know when you can come to our store to pick up the part that was missing. If you have a defective part, please return it to us and we will get the new part for you.
You can chose to have your eBike assembled and a Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) completed (One-time, Only $99!). We will remove the eBike from the box/crate, assemble it for you, and make sure it is tested and functioning properly. The warranty is included with your PDI and covers all labour costs in the first 90 days when repaired by Wesellit or Daymak.
The following items are not covered under the warranty: Flat tires, light bulbs, body damage, any damage due to abuse, mirrors, pedals, and battery chargers. Due to the nature of sealed lead acid batteries, they will not be covered under warranty if they have been dropped, damaged, over-charged, left in water, or left outside in sub zero temperatures. If there is a genuine defect with your battery in the first 90 days, we will repair or replace the defective battery cell for you.
If the required part(s) are not in stock and must be ordered, an estimated delivery time will be given.
Currently, these instructions are only for the Ecostar style eBike. You may reference this guide to help you in some parts of the assembly of your other eBikes, however.
Remember, for only an additional $99 we will assemble your eBike and offer a 1 year warranty plus PDI. This is applicable to all of our Daymak eBikes. However, we have provided you with this step by step guide on how to assemble your new eBike if you're feeling handy!
Please note, we are not liable for any damage or harm as result of assembling the eBike yourself. We offer an assembly and PDI service and are happy to do it for you and go over all the features of the eBike with you upon pick up.

| Various Wrenches. We used 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, and 15mm in the process of building our eBike. | Vice Grip. Although only used for a few areas, it speeds up the process of tightening some parts. | Loctite. You will want to use this when your bike is assembled in order to strengthen the bond of your screws. | Phillips Screwdriver. This is used to tighten the back basket which we currently include on our eBikes for free. |
Your eBike will come inside a large, hard cardboard box. Simply use sharp scissors to cut open the straps and remove the card board. Place the eBike on its kickstand for support. Once removed from the box and supported, there will be bubble wrap surrounding the bike. Remove it with care as you do not want to scratch your new eBike! Once removed from all the protective covering, your eBike should look something like the bike pictured on the right. We recommend placing your eBike on a sheet if working on it in a garage just to keep yourself clean. You will find 3 sets of keys on your bike (Usually strapped to the handle bar, rear wheel, and on the back basket)
All eBikes that are legal in Ontario must have pedals attached to them. The Ecostar is great because pedaling it is very easy. To install the pedals, simply match them up by looking at the tail of the pedal, which you will see an "L" or an "R". Left will go on the left side of the bike as if you were sitting on it, and so forth. Use a 15mm wrench to turn the left pedal counter-clockwise to get it on, and the right pedal clockwise. Place some "Loctite" on the shaft before fully putting the pedals on. The battery is placed under the seat and is easily removed by just lifting it up. This is a great time to plug your battery in to the included charger and top it up. Alwas plug the charger into the battery first and then into the wall to avoid power-surges. All of our eBikes will come with a nearly full charge. Your battery will be fully charged when the light on the charger turns green. Finally, ensure all screws are tight on your battery pack. Over time, they may go loose due to vibrations. A simple tightening is all you need.
Tip the bike on its rear wheel to reveal the front axle. Next, you will need to install the front fender. Simply maneuver it side ways through the bottom half of the front axle and then turn it upwards when you're near the top. It should line up like the image on your right.
After that, attach it to the bike with the provided nut & bolt using a 10mm wrench. Then, you will attach the two bars on the fender to the bottom part of the front axle. There are two screws already provided, simply remove them and put the two loops in between the screw and the axle, respectively.
This might take two people but it's definitely possible with one! Your next order of business will be to place the front brake control into the front wheel. You will see it's a circular object that fits nicely into the front wheel's opening. Once you have that, you will need to remove the nuts and washers attached to it and put them aside. There is a spacer that you must have on the inside left (when facing you) bar before you line it up, as it centers the wheel. Then, you will line up the assembly with the front axle and hold it in place.
Finally, you will place the washers and nuts back on to the bar. The trick here is to place the first washer to line up with the small opening in the axle. You can see it in the picture on the right. Finally, you may have to play with the bar that holds the wheel and adjust it left or right to ensure all the washers and nuts fit on correctly. Once you have the wheel center, tighten the nuts using a 15mm wrench and give the wheel some spins. Ensure the wheel is spinning smoothly and not stopping abruptly. When you are happy with it, we recommend using "Loctite" on the nuts to ensure they stay on strong. Without it, you will have to tighten them more often. Adjust the handlebars to line up with the front wheel. You may need to tighten your handle bars so that they do not shift when riding. To do this, simply open up the rubber lid at the base of the handle bars, near the ignition. Once removed, you will reveal a nut that you can adjust using a 12mm wrench. We suggest a flash light if working in a darker room as it might be hard to see!
This is fairly simple after the hard work you did on the front tire. Your eBike will come with two mirrors. Simply roll up the rubber covering to reveal a golden nut. Move the nut up the bar about 1/2 inch and then begin spinning the mirror onto the openings at the front of the bike. After about 8 circulations, your mirror should be tight on the eBike. You may need to adjust the nut to get the right position for the mirror. Once you are happy with it, simply pull down the rubber to hide the nut and your mirror is installed. You can use "Loctite" to secure the mirrors connection. Repeat for the second one. You should use a 14mm wrench to tighten the mirrors.
Your eBike will come with a governor that reduces the eBike to 20 km/h speed. It is placed in here for safety reasons but your eBike is allowed to go up to 32 km/h by Ontario law. Simply open up the black cover in the middle of the bike and locate the looped, pure white wire. There is a blue/white wire too, do not cut that one! Once the white wire is located, simply cut it and place some electrical tape on each end. If you do not cut it, your eBike will max out at 20 km/h speed. This is great if you just want to start off slow and learn how to use it, before allowing it to full speed of 32km/h.
Your eBike may have came with a basket for the back. To install it, simply line up the four included bolts, the rubber pad, and the metal bars. The two metal bars go cross-wise inside the case and the screws go through them. The pad goes under the basket and above the rack, this will ensure your basket doesn't vibrate much. Once lined up, simply connect the screws with their provided nuts and tighten as required.
Phew, you're almost done! Finally, you will need to plug in your battery by placing it back under the seat and locating the power plug inside. Ensure all screws and nuts are tightened and your steering wheel is lined up with your front wheel and tight. If it's not tight enough, there is an opening near the front control where you can place a wrench in to tighten. As mentioned, we recommend using "Loctite" on the nuts to ensure they stay tight. Finally, check your brakes by adjusting the nut on each tires brake respectively (located near the centre of the tire.)
Please remember to check everything and wear a helmet when operating an eBike. We are not liable for any damage or harm as a result of assembling your own eBike. We are also happy to assemble the eBike for you at a small cost, and we will go over all the features of it with you.
Great news! On April 23, 2009 the Ontario Road Safety Act, Bill 126 received .Royal Assent. status with several amendments within it that made eBikes a legal part of our roads. Read More about eBikes on Ontario roads.
