Accidents can happen at any time with any kind of vehicle. It’s best to always be aware of your surroundings and to be familiar with the equipment you’re using. Here’s more safety tips to keep in mind before you go on your epic bike ride.
Most of the major concerns with ebike hazards does not come from the bike itself, but with its batteries, particularly with lead and lithium-ion batteries. Worn out batteries should be disposed of with great caution and care to avoid potential hazards.
When it comes to charging the battery, you should make sure that it’s always above freezing temperature especially in the winter. Otherwise, the battery cells may be harmed. On the other hand, below-freezing conditions do not affect the battery as you go riding. When you go for ebike rides during the rainy or snow season, you should avoid riding through wet slush or big puddles. Getting your ebike gears wet could cause rust to form, eventually deteriorating the gears. Make sure to charge your ebike batteries in a dry setting.
Aside from making sure your tires are properly inflated, you should always check to make sure the tires are not worn out before you go for a ride.
Ebike rides should be fun and taking these safety precautions is the best way to enjoy the experience. For more tips about electric bike rides, bookmark our blog or subscribe to our website.
