Riding Instructions
This guide assumes that you already know how to ride a standard bicycle. Before you try
to ride an electric dirt bike, you should be very familiar with controlling and balancing a
normal bicycle.
Cauon
If you do not have riding experience, an atv is too dangerous to ride. Do not begin learning
to ride a bicycle using an atv.
Important Notes
• ATVS are Fast! Atv are capable of traveling at higher speeds than many bicycle
riders are accustomed to. Use cauon at all mes, especially when travelling in mixed
trac. Always take into account driving and traveling condions.
• Obey the Law. Be sure to follow all provincial and city trac
laws. This includes obeying stop signs, checking carefully when
turning, and riding defensively. An atv is a motorized vehicle. You must
follow the law.
• Stay Sober. Never ride your ATV while intoxicated. An atv is capable of traveling
faster than a normal bicycle, and you should always be in control of it.
• Share the Road. Be careful in mixed trac. Let vehicles that are faster than you
Overtake you and give ample room for vehicles travelling slower.

Items to Carry with the Electric Bike
It is a good idea to carry the following items with you at all mes when you ride your atv.
• The charger, to charge the bike in case the baery power runs out.
• 30 Amp Fuse, spares for the baeries, in case the fuses blow (if applicable).
• A lock, to secure your atv when you park it.
• A helmet, and protecve riding gear.
Inspecting your ATV
Always inspect your atv before you ride it, to make sure its safety features are operang
properly. Many accidents can be avoided with roune inspecons. Once you are
comfortable with your atv, you will be able to detect small changes in the way it feels. If
anything changes between uses, make sure to have it properly examined. Also, be sure
to listen for changes in the sounds your atv makes over me. Any mechanical or power
issues may have eects on the sounds the bicycle makes.
Holding the Handlebars
As with a normal bicycle, place your ngers over the brake levers, using the palms of your
hand and your thumbs to wrap around and under the handlegrips. Doing this allows you
to acvate the brakes easily, by squeezing your hand, in case you have to stop quickly. This
is the safe way to control your atv.
Turning your Atv On and Off
To turn on your atv, insert the key into the “ignion”, located just below the dash board,
and turn the key to the right. When your atv is acvated, the power indicator will light and
the baery charge indicator will jump, showing you how much power your atv has. To turn
o the atv, simply turn the key to the le, and remove the key.

9
Warning
When you acvate the atv, the electrical system becomes live. Do not try to aect changes
to the Atv (such as removing the baery or repairing electrical components) while the Atv
is acvated. Turn the Atv o and remove the key before you aempt to access any of the
electrical components. Also, the baery carries a signicant electric charge and can injure
people if not treated properly and with respect.
Accelerating and Decelerating
The throle is found on the right-side hand grip on the handlebars. Turn rotate the grip
counterclockwise (towards you) to accelerate. To decelerate, release the grip (turn it
away from you). Don’t over-rotate the accelerator, as this could damage the baery and
electrical components.
Warning
Do not acvate the accelerator unl you are seated on the atv and are ready to accelerate.
The atv can easily escape from your control, possibly injuring you or others, and the atv
may be damaged by being dropped.
Stopping
Your atv has two sets of brakes, at the front and at the rear. The levers aached to the
handlebars, on the le and right, acvate the brakes. Pull the levers toward you to acvate
the brakes.
You can use both brakes to come to a stop more quickly, or you can use one of the brakes
to come to a gentle stop, depending on your riding needs at the moment. When the
brakes are acvated, the power to the engine is automacally turned o, unl you release
the brakes. This allows you to stop safely.
Safety Tips
• When you are traveling in wet weather, water may cause your brakes to funcon
less eciently because it reduces fricon between the brake pads and the wheels.
• Take care to slow down and give yourself more room to stop or slow if necessary.
• It is a good idea to have your brakes and brake pads checked regularly. The brake
pads will eventually wear down through fricon, and aer signicant use will have to
be replaced.
• Engage the rear brakes rst before the front brakes to avoid ipping the unit.

10
Riding in Wet Weather
Your atv is designed to funcon in wet condions, such as when it is raining. However,
because the motor is on the rear wheel, it is easy to slip when moving at high speeds. If
it is very wet, be sure to avoid high speeds. When you are traveling in wet weather, water
may cause your brakes to funcon less eecvely because it reduces fricon between the
brake pads and the wheels. Take care to slow down and give yourself more room to stop
or slow if necessary.
The Motor and Water
Your atv is not designed to be immersed in water. Always ensure that the water level does
not go above the middle of the re, to prevent water from geng inside the motor. Water
in the motor can cause short-circuits and may damage the electrical systems in your atv.
Riding in Cold Weather
Your atv is designed to operate year-round. However, in very cold condions or when there
is a lot of snow or slush on the ground, it is possible for the motor in the atv to get wet
or for the brakes to funcon less eecvely, just as it can happen in wet weather. Below
10 degrees Celsius, the baery will not work as well as it would in warmer temperatures.
While Lithium-Ion baeries perform beer than Lead-Acid baeries in temperature
extremes, both will experience reduced performance in cold temperatures.
Also, riding the atv in cold temperatures may require you to replace the baery sooner
rather than later.
Maximum Load
Do not exceed the maximum load capabilies of your atv. You can nd the exact loading
capacity listed in the technical specicaons in this guide.
If you exceed the maximum load, the performance of the atv will suer.
Exceeding the maximum load of your atv could cause damage to the shocks, to the
mechanism and, ulmately, even to the frame. It could also cause your motor to work too
aggressively, and may cause it to burn out.

11
Disconnecting the FUSE
When the fuse is disconnected, all power from the baery to the atv is blocked. This is
useful if you are going to store your atv or if it is damaged and you wish to bring it to be
serviced.
Note: The fuse must be on for the alarm system to work. Do not leave the circuit breaker
o in an unsafe locaon if you are worried about the.
Long-Term Storage of your Atv
If you are storing your bike for a long period, disconnect the fuse. This is a safer way to
store the electric atv, as it prevents accidental acvaon of the atv and makes it impossible
to acvate it even with the key.
Please see the secon tled “The Baery” for instrucons on baery maintenance while
your atv is being stored.
Fuse
The Sasquatch Jr. requires a 30 Amp fuse to operate. Seen here: To put it in, look for the
red fuse holder and open the top. Then put the fuse into the slot and close it again.

12
The Battery
This secon details what you need to know about the baery that powers your atv. Always
remember to treat your atvs electrical systems with respect.
Battery Power
The dashboard has a baery charge indicator. When the atv is acvated, the guage
will jump and indicate the currently available baery power. If the power has dropped
signicantly, you should charge your atv.
Distance and Power
Your baery has the capacity to carry you anywhere from 10+ km before it must be
recharged. The ability of your baery to power your bicycle depends on many variables.
These variables include the weight of the rider, the prevailing wind resistance, the rider’s
driving habits, the presence of steep hills and inclines, and other issues such as proper air
pressure in the res.
Saving Power
If you are traveling long distances, you can save a lot of electricity by using beer driving
habits:
• Coasng: When going downhill or over long, at road surfaces, try using your atv’s
momentum and allow it to coast, without drawing power from the motor.
• Stopping and Starng: Try to avoid stop and go movements. The motor draws
more power when starng from a full stop.
• Weight: Remove unnecessary weight from the atv. This reduces the amount of
power the motor must draw.
• Air Pressure: Make sure your res have the proper air pressure. Proper pressure
reduces drag on the res and radically increases the eciency of any vehicle.

13
Charging your Atv
Charging your atv is a simple process. You require the following:
• The charger that came with your atv.
• A 110V household electrical outlet.
Charger Warning
Only use the chargers that were supplied with your atv. Using chargers that do not have
specicaons idencal to those which came with the atv could irreparably damage your
atv’s baery and electrical systems, and may cause injury.
To charge your atv, follow these steps:
1. Turn o the atv and remove the key from the “ignion.”
2. Plug the female end of the charger cable into the charging slot on the atv.
3. Plug the male end of the charger power cable into your wall socket. This should be
a110v household electricity supply. You can also use a portable generator, if necessary,
but make sure it provides 110V current.
4. Allow the atv’s baery to charge for the appropriate amount of me
(8-10 hours).
5. Disconnect the charger when the LED light on the charger is green. The baeries
have been fully charged.
If your charger’s LED status light does not change from red to green over an extended
period of me, for perhaps more than 14 hours, and the baery is very hot, the baery
or charger may need replacing. Stop charging and bring both to your Daymak dealer
immediately. Do not charge the baery.

14
Charging the Sasquatch Jr.
The Sasquatch Jr. comes with a 36V baery pack. To charge the Sasquatch Jr. directly in the
unit look for the charge port on the le hand side of the atv. It will be covered with a ap
that you must li up and then plug the female end into that port.
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.
Warning
Do not leave the Sasquatch Jr. charging for long periods of me aer it is fully charged.
Once the bike is charged unplug it ASAP.

15
Battery Care
Follow these suggesons to maintain your baery’s opmal performance. If you do not
follow these suggesons, your baery may lose its ability to maintain a charge and might
have to be replaced sooner than would otherwise be necessary.
• Charge it: Charge your baery immediately aer riding it.
• Full Charge: Do not allow the baery to run down completely and lie in storage
without a charge. This signicantly reduces the baery’s lifespan and may cause
damage.
• Keep it Charged: When being stored, charge the baery occasionally to make
sure its power supply does not run down. Charging it once every 21 days should be
sucient.
• Storage Condions: Store the baery on a at, cool, dry surface. Do not allow the
baery temperature to drop below 10 degrees Celsius for extended periods of me.
Warning
DO NOT place your Lead-Acid baery on concrete. Concrete drains the baery’s power
and will neutralize the lead-acid. Placing the baery on concrete for any length of me
will likely result in the baery being drained of power and possibly losing its ability to
store electricity.
Cold Weather and your Battery
Below 10 degrees Celsius, the baery will not work as well as it would in warmer
temperatures. While Lithium-Ion baeries perform beer than Lead-Acid baeries in
temperature extremes, both will experience reduced performance in cold temperatures.
Also, repeatedly riding the atv in cold temperatures may cause your baery to have to be
replaced sooner.
Replacement and Disposal
Aer approximately 300 charges, a lead-acid baery will need to be replaced. A lithium-
ion baery will last approximately 1000 charges. When the baery has to be replaced,
you will noce that your baery cannot carry as much of a charge as it could inially.
Contact your local Daymak dealer to purchase a new baery.
When replacing your baery, dispose of it at a proper municipal baery recycling facility.
If none is available, please contact your local Daymak dealer.

Technical Data
This secon provides you with the technical specicaons for your atv.
The Motor and Wheel Assembly
The Sasquatch Jr. has a 1000 Wa magnec brushless DC. This type of motor has excellent
low-end torque and high eciency when working within its range. Note that while the
motor is very quiet, it does produce some noise. Also aached to the rear hub are speed
reducon gear and the speed free clutch.
The Freewheel
The wheels have freewheels, so the atv’s drive train is not xedly geared. This means
that when coasng or traveling downhill, you can turn o the engine and your atv will
connue to move without slowing. This feature will allow you to achieve faster speeds
when coasng, moving downhill or moving with the wind. It will also allow you to conserve
electrical power, because you will be able to let to the motor rest while moving.
The Controller
Daymak pioneered the development of intelligent component control in atv. The Daymak
Drive technology developed by Daymak is the brain of your atv. It allows your atv to
achieve faster acceleraon, to climb steeper hills, and to save energy.
The electronic controller is located under the seat assembly. This controller eciently
regulates the speed and electronic funcons of the bicycle. It allows for stepless speed
adjustment, shuts o the motor when the brakes are acvated, has low voltage protecon
and has fuses to prevent excess current from damaging the atv’s systems.
