What happens when a Daymak EM2 runs out of battery... (Also, where I've been)

- So, I've been away from UA-cam for a while now, as I say in this video it's mainly because of the amazing job I had. Now that I have more free time, I thought I'd throw together a few videos for whatever is left of my audience. If anyone from my team somehow stumbles across this, I miss you guys!
Also, this is a unexpected and not planned video on what happens when the Daymak EM2 (Or really any motorcycle style "E-Bike" gets extremely low on battery. I didn't make it clear in the video, but basically what was happening was any time I gave over about 10% throttle it would completely cut power. This seems like a intentional "limp mode" but I could be wrong. It usually lasts a bit longer to allow you to get where you are going, although extremely slowly.
If anyone has any questions about the EM2 or anything else, feel free to ask in the comments!
Nice video. Just a tip: For the sake of the overall life of your batteries you should NEVER allow your batteries to go below 20% and try to keep it above 30% as much as possible. Also, it is important to allow the batteries a cooling-down period of at least one hour after riding it before plugging in to charge it up again and after charging it is always a good idea to allow the fully-charged batteries to settle for an hour before taking it out for a ride. Do try to avoid exposing your batteries to temperatures below 0 Celsius. I see a lot of people riding their bikes in the snow and in colder temperatures. Then they are dumbfounded as to why their batteries need to be replaced after just 1 year.
I'm looking to buy an electric motorcycle soon so this is super helpful 👍
A little late but to turn on the hazard lights you just flip the turn signal switch right than left without cancelling it.
I got the daymak em2 with lead acid battery, it's only 1 year old and been stored in the house during winter, my friend has been riding the bike this summer just fine to get and from work and around to the store doing about 40km/h no problems. We sold the bike and the buyer had the bike for one day saying it's completely not working the throttle is nor working everytime, now he is treating me and stuff these bikes are a pain
is it difficult to change the batteries? I have a possible 2 out of 6 dead so I have purchased 6 new ones to install. thanks for any help or links..
yeah, running out of battery sucks plenty, but you can easily prevent it by knowing your bike. What's worse than running out of battery that I always worry about is getting a flat far from home.
Were do you get a phone clamp like that ..id love to have one fer my zone
If you're still on the market for one, I highly recommend this one. It has the hooks on the bottom to prevent your phone from falling out, and I don't even use the rubber. It's great, and affordable too.

How do I get the app I'm from cali so I don't know if that makes it so I can download it
Their app is just on the website.
I just got a 2020 em2 in red love the bike only have 25km on it was wondering where you got the turn signals from i would like to put them on my new bike love the videos keep it up
www.amazon.ca/dp/B07GBV4B7L/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_G8hTEbE0T4Q42
I only have about 700KM on it, but keep in mind that's not exactly accurate, I'd say it's about 15-20% more than what the dashboard says it is.
Cant you pedal it?
The EM2 has a design flaw where the pedal hits the footrest. So unless you remove/tie up the foot rest, no. That along with many other reasons is why I sold it and got something better.
Hey bro I’m new to your channel but I’m very interested in your content I actually have em2 But I want to change the stock halogen lights to the LED like you have but what is the right size socket bulb to
me too
You really should try to keep your lead acid batteries fully charged asap after each ride and have a place to plug in at work. Letting them sit uncharged and running threm down till they cut out for even short periods of time absolutely kills lead acid batteries. There are extensions available that will plug into your bike that can then be made to run indoors (through a window etc.) to your dry plugged into the wall ... indoor charger. So the charger can stay indoors.
Would a bigger battery give it(EM2), more range and speed?
And do you know what size to get without damaging the motor.
Where can I find like 8000 watt battery for 2020 em2
A 8000w battery? It's better to measure that in volts and amps. For example, the em2 has a 72v 32ah battery. For better range, raise the ah. But it depends on how much your controller can handle.
Hi just bought a em2 and from America I need help there are no videos on how to ride meaning what the gears are how to reverse so if u could plz show how to ride and the app like idk how to tell if the battery is charged or if it’s going dead so if u could plz help
Why would you buy one when you don't know how to ride a motorcycle 🤦♂️
Hey, I just saw this comment now. There are no "gears", the "1,2,3" selection never did anything for me. You just twist and go... It's essentially riding a bicycle without pedaling. But like someone else said, if you don't have experience riding on the road, following traffic laws, ect, I wouldn't recommend using it until you do. Practice on a empty parking lot on the bike, but ensure any time you ride it, you follow laws, if not you will be rightfully pulled over, and likely have the bike impounded.
Personally, I got one after not having a bicycle for 4 years, pickled it up in downtown Vancouver, and rode it to a different city to get it home. That was a extremely bad idea in hindsight. But overall, owning this for a year before selling it, it was a good experience, but I'm glad I got something a bit better now.
Hey can I increase range by adding a extra battery in parallel? Or in serial?Any help?
parallel
does you r speed also drop when the battery is low?
It’s so embarrassing on a full size bike with a dead battery doing 10kmh it looks funny lmao 😜 trust me I know from experience looool
got a question for you. Where is it on the em2 where i can remove the governor because i am gonna get smashed in traffic here in my town.
It's all via the app. There's a dealer menu you need to access. Google it and you'll find it. I ended up getting rid of thw bike because it was just too slow.
I think its got a cigarette lighter port in the side right? Could you charge the bike with a solar panel while you're away (at work/school, etc)
Yeah, it has a 12v outlet on the side (I used a USB adapter to power my other lights). As for charging via solar, you probably could via the normal charging port, but I'm not sure how efficient that would be. Normal charging with the included charger for this bike is around 6-8h depending on the temperature. But I'm sure it would have charged faster with a better charger.
@@YTSBryce There are quite a few videos of people doing it with ebicycles. Takes about 8hrs for a car battery with a normal solar panel from Canadian tire. Now you can get these huge ones that fold up. You could lay it on the ground by your bike hey
Yeah that's a possibility, I'd be interested to see how that would work out. Unfortunately the charging speed is pretty limited due to these being lead acid batteries stock instead of lithium. Personally it wouldn't work well for me as Vancouver does nothing but rain 5 days a week with cloud cover the rest.
@@YTSBryce 4:25 this guy says you can get lithium batteries. 60Amp! ua-cam.com/video/fYlocGrfWNQ/v-deo.html
You definitely can, it's just not cheap at all. I'm planning on getting them for my predator once I upgrade the rest of the parts. Upgraded the motor and controller this week ($1300), a bigger lithium battery would be another 1000ish.
use the peddles
Do you know if the em2 controller can handle a 96v battery setup ? Thanks.
Honestly no idea, I was looking into upgrading the battery before I sold this.
If it’s passed 2016 with the Daymak Bluetooth then yes not recommended but you have to use a 96v charger
You’re a great guy! Charge your bike tho
What does it cost to replace the batteries ?
Honestly it depends where you get them from, if you build them yourself, what kind, ect
Incase it starts to rain is the bike water proof
Probably, I've had it in the rain without issue. But others have said it causes issues if too much water gets near the controller. So just be careful with water actually getting in.
what kind of batteries does a daymak em2 take
Not sure what you mean here, it has stock batteries built into it.
denis larocque he has a 32ah lead acid battery if it’s stock. I highly recommend going lithium battery, it will boost your top speed and last way longer. I have a 2x30ah lithium battery with 2 separate chargers for faster charging. I get 150km range with that setup.
12v 32ah
@@TheFlatEarthChannelcom how much did that run you if you don't mind me asking because I need a good set up for longer distance
@@adamtigani1310 right now we building bikes. I got 1 bike with 120ah battery, another one with 90ah both bikes have 200a controllers and do about 180kph. 0-100kph in 5 seconds. Setup costed about 10-12k
Thanks, Bryce - YTS for the great video. I want to purchase one electric bike but I'm not sure if Daymak EM2 is a good choice or not. I live in Vancouver BC. My main concern are:
1. is Daymak EM2 really a good bike in terms of quality and functionality and also after-sales service?
2. Will I face a problem riding EM2 on light rains which I'm sure you are familiar with it in Vancouver?
I really appreciate it if you can guide me to make the correct decision! thanks :D
So, I'm probably not the best person to ask this as I've only had it since last summer and it's been parked all winter, I only have 680km on it.
1) In terms of quality, reliability, and after service; When I got the bike home the first day, I noticed a slight rip in the seat, they replaced it off free without issue. I also ordered LED headlights (although they didn't work, not their fault) and had no issues. When I got the bike, I noticed some of the plastic body parts did not line up 100% with a larger gap on the left side under the seat for example. I could probably adjust this with enough time, but I don't have enough time. But yeah, for after service support I haven't had any issues, they ordered in parts without issue at all, once Covid blows over, I'll take it in for a check up.
With rain, I try to avoid that as it's not worth the risk to me personally when I can just take skytrain. However, I have been caught in slight rain twice (might have the video from it). It had no issue, I just obviously drove slower and more carefully, especially on the highway. It's a fun bike, but treat it as a slower motorcycle instead of a fast E-Bike and you'll be fine, use turn signals, follow road rules, etc.
@@YTSBryce that is great, thanks for the honest and detailed explanation. About your tire, in the video you mentioned it takes at least 2 weeks to order the new tire. How did it go? Did you change your bike tier and was it fast or slow? I am trying to compare the the maintenance duration for Daymak in Vancouver. Thank you.
I ended up using a cheap patch job on it, it's been holding air for almost a year without issue. But yeah, anything they don't have in stock will be a 2 week wait usually.
Do you live in Saskatchewan or Alberta
British Columbia
🤔😳 Wow it looks like you are going to have to save up your money💵👀🤨 like I am for my Daymak EM2 . And replace it with a 72 VOLT LITHIUM BATTERY or whatever the vote is to your electric bike in this video !The battery change really will be way better than the big heavy lead acid battery that you got in there now. Because I know that's what they come with in them. This chang will make the bike a lot lighter and go further distance and that what we both want😉👍!
I sold this over a year ago, and upgraded to a better bike, then registered and insured it as a LSM.
In spring, I'll be getting a new bike as well.
What’s the fastest it can go ?
On paper, and legally, 32 on flat ground. But realistically, that's where the speedometer stops. I've gone well over 60 on it, higher on a decline. But I also have a model where they put a higher power motor on it. You just need to be careful and drive realistically on it. Don't do anything stupid and you'll be fine. I wouldn't worry too much about police either (I have goals of law enforcement), if anything, I've been pulled over for going too slow on it.
Bryce - YTS that’s great information thanks ! What kind of questions do they ask you when you get pulled over ? Do they harass you or get you back on the road quick ? And do you know any good websites to order parts and upgrades from , I’m located in BC aswell . Thanks a lot your the best !
Upgrades is a grey area in terms of legality. As long as they don't impact the speed you're fine. Most of the parts (headlights, brake lever, mirrors) were all from Amazon. As for being pulled over, the officer was more interested in what it was. I had a copy of ICBCs definition of a E-Bike on me at the time which I gave to him to read and the copy of purchase with my name on it. He never asked for my license or anything at all.
Bryce - YTS that’s awesome 😎 I’m looking to purchase the EM2 from Ebike Universe. Would the basic model (no upgrades to motor) still reach 60km ? Last question . Your very helpful that’s a ton !
In terms of distance? That depends on a lot of things. Mine gets about 40 on a charge, but that's from Coquitlam to Vancouver at full throttle basically the whole way.
its weird looking at your own neighborhood wanna sell that bike?
Unfortunately that one was sold a while ago. Although I do have a 2021 Armada Predator with a upgraded motor, controller, and 72v 40ah lithium battery I might be interested in selling. It's currently registered and insured as a motorcycle.
hey bruce you probably dont see us in the premeire chat on youtube but have u heard about the diamond casino and resort dlc in gta 5
I have, but honestly haven't played GTAO in over a year. And haven't played LSPDFR in 4 months or so. Mainly because of work, but also the mods I used dropped support.
Ended up missing the live chat during this, sorry about that. Set it as premiere a few hours earlier than I thought lol.
I don't understand you drove around in a circle from 5:39 to 8:40 you passed that white car twice only to kill your battery this is very confusing
To not block traffic. There is no bike lane in that area, I waited for a clear path without blocking/slowing traffic.
ok that makes sense thanks
Ughh..you need a bigger capacity battery dude....and how does it not have 4 way hazzards..my gts does..but its also a2019 model
Definitely need a bigger battery, looking into that but honestly planning on selling this somewhat soon, basically as soon as I can get my motorcycle license. But this thing does get me to work and back daily (Coquitlam to Vancouver) which is mostly highway. As for the phone mount, just a basic one from Amazon. Actually have a new setup now.
@@YTSBryce well if you get your m license your a step ahead of me..thats why i got the zone..wasent for a lack of money for a motorcycle..owe the mto to much cash lol..i have the gts so its got more batteries..but its heavy as shit..bike actually almost 500 pounds..but i get to work back and fourth round 40km and a bit . also just got batteries replaced at 3600km..i paid 1562 dollars including labour. I dont really like gel led acid cells. But trying to find lithium cells that are half decent and under 2 grand is next to impossible
Bro no one cares that yours has hazzards good for you
