Technical Data
This section provides you with the technical specifications for your e-bike.
The Motor and Wheel Assembly
The Voyager e-bike has a 500 Watt magnetic DC brushless motor on the rear wheel hub. This
type of motor has excellent low-end torque and high efficiency when working within its range.
Note that while the motor is very quiet, it does produce some noise. Also attached to the rear hub
are speed reduction gear and the speed free clutch.
The Freewheel
The wheels have freewheels, so the e-bike’s drive train is not fixedly geared. This means that
when coasting or traveling downhill, you can turn off the engine and your e-bike will continue to
move without slowing. This feature will allow you to achieve faster speeds when coasting, 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 e-bikes. The “D- Drive”
technology developed by Daymak is the brain of your e-bike. It allows your e-bike to achieve
faster acceleration, to climb steeper hills, and to save energy. In future, it will allow for other ways
of recharging your e-bike’s batteries, such as by using solar or wind power.
The electronic controller is located under the seat assembly. This controller efficiently regulates
the speed and electronic functions of the bicycle. It allows for stepless speed adjustment, shuts
off the motor when the brakes are activated, has low voltage protection and has fuses to prevent
excess current from damaging the e-bike’s systems.
The Governor
A key component of the controller is the Governor. The Governor regulates the speed of the e-
bike. It prevents the motor from assisting riders when the e-bike’s speed surpasses 32 km per
hour.
Note The governor’s primary function is to make sure that the motor functions efficiently. If the
governor is not functioning, the mileage of the e-bike will be dramatically reduced, and its
performance will suffer.
Disabling the governor voids the warranty, and may damage your controller.
This speed limitation to 32 km per hour is required by government regulations. Traveling faster
than 32 km per hour through motor power alone is illegal in Canada and could result in serious
fines or penalties, unless your vehicle is insured for liability, is registered and you are licensed to
drive.
