4. DESIGN PHILOSOPHY AND DURABILITY
Our DM01 Mid-Motor is not just built to perform; it’s designed to last. From its robust aluminum alloy construction to its IP65 rating against the elements, every aspect of the DM01 is the result of thoughtful design and sustainable engineering.
Here are four features that demonstrate our commitment to superior design:
4.1. Better Heat Dissipation
The DM01 motor is engineered with enhanced heat dissipation capabilities. This means that it can maintain optimal temperatures even during intense operation.
Cooler running conditions not only extend the motor’s lifespan by reducing wear and tear but also maintain efficiency and performance.
Whether you’re climbing steep hills or navigating long distances, the DM01 ensures reliable and consistent power by effectively managing its thermal environment.
4.2. Dual-Clutch Mechanism
The dual-clutch mechanism in the DM01 motor is designed to offer minimal resistance when pedaling. This innovative feature means that even when the motor is not engaged, the bike feels smooth and easy to pedal, resembling the feel of a traditional bicycle. Crazy, Right?
This is particularly beneficial for riders who may want to use the bike without assistance or conserve battery power, ensuring a natural riding experience.
The dual-clutch system thus ensures that efficiency and comfort are paramount, making every ride enjoyable, with or without motor engagement.
4.3. Seamless Integration with Standard Bike Frames
The DM01 motor is designed for seamless integration with approximately 95% of standard bike frames, ensuring a wide compatibility range.
This feature is pretty significant, users who want to upgrade/change their existing bike or choose from a broad selection of new bikes. The Easy installation means less hassle and more time enjoying.
The motor’s adaptable design considers various frame geometries and styles, making it a versatile choice for different types of bicycles, from mountain bikes to city commuters.
This commitment to compatibility reflects our understanding of the diverse needs and preferences of cyclists, ensuring that the transition to an e-bike is as smooth as possible.
4.4. Crafted from Robust Aluminum Alloys
The DM01 motor is crafted using robust aluminum alloys, a material choice that strikes an optimal balance between weight and durability. Aluminum alloys are known for their strength, corrosion resistance, and ability to dissipate heat efficiently.
This material selection ensures that the motor can withstand the rigors of daily use, various weather conditions, and the physical demands of different riding styles, all while maintaining a lighter weight profile compared to other materials.
By using high-quality aluminum alloys, We ensure that the DM01 motor is not only durable and reliable but also contributes to the overall performance and agility of the e-bike.

① Fasten the sensor to the frame flat fork with 2 cable ties, then install themagnets on the wheel spokes with a flat-blade screwdriver
Notice：Make sure the magnetic field side of the magnet is aligned with the
circular mark on the sensor
② Loosen the screws on the sensor with a Phillips screwdriver, then move the
receiver of the speed sensor,
to ensure that the distance between the circular
marking to the sensor surface and the magnet is from 2 to 10 mm, the tighten
the screw with a screwdriver to complete the installation
1-Sensor 2-Tie 3-Magnet 4-Screw 5-Receiver
5.6. WIRING AND SETUP
① Operations：Insert the plugs on the bus cable, battery and speed sensor to the
corresponding plugs of the motor, the other end of the bus cable can be plugged into the
display, brake, throttle, etc.
② Precautions：
Try not to pass all cables through the narrow space of the motor and bike frame,
so as to avoid the cables being squeezed and damage
6. THE COMPATIBILITY OF THE INSTALLATION
