An E-Bike Designed for Going Off-Grid, Literally

Daymak’s Beast is a compact, street-legal e-bike built for going off-grid, with solar charging, fat tires, and a no-nonsense design.

If you’re short on garage space but long on paranoia, Daymak’s Beast might be your kind of two-wheeler. Built in Canada, the Beast sits somewhere between an electric scooter, a fat-tire e-bike, and a mild survivalist fantasy. It’s compact, street-legal, and designed to keep moving even when modern conveniences don’t. Power comes from an electric motor good for roughly 30 mph, with charging as simple as plugging into a wall outlet, assuming the grid is still doing its thing.

When it’s not, the Beast has a plan B. A removable solar battery pack can add up to 10 km of range after eight hours of ambient light, and the bike can also charge while you ride, offering power-assist capability closer to an electric bicycle. It’s not fast, but it is stubborn.

A steel frame, oversized 21-inch tires, a powerful front headlamp, onboard storage, and USB ports round out the package. Daymak offers the Beast in multiple trims, including an off-road-leaning version for those who plan to leave pavement behind entirely.

Is it overkill for commuting? Probably. But as a compact, go-anywhere backup plan — or just a strange, charming piece of electric mobility — the Beast feels like it was designed for people who prefer options.
