Cycling stress as spring approaches: Don't forget to check this when you take your e-bike out of the stable

After a long winter, our two-wheelers may need some maintenance to ensure we can continue cycling safely and comfortably.

What exactly should we pay attention to with our electric bicycle when we start cycling again in good weather? We would like to give you some useful tips to help you prepare for your first trip.

Tire pressure is critical for safe and efficient driving. Low tire pressure can lead to poor handling, slower speeds and even flat tires.

If your electric bike has not been used for a while, it is a good idea to check the battery. Fully charging may be necessary, but also pay attention to battery life during your first trip. If the battery dies faster than usual, you may need to replace it.

Your e-bike's brakes are one of the most important safety aspects of any bike, especially a powerful electric bike. Make sure the brake pads are not worn and that the brakes are working smoothly and effectively.

After a few months in the shed, your bike chain may become a bit rusty or dry. Use chain oil or lubricant to keep the chain running smoothly and quietly.

Good lighting is essential for evening cycling. Check if the headlight and taillight of your electric bike are working properly.

Take a short ride to make sure your electric bike's motor is working properly. Listen for any strange sounds and note any unusual vibrations.

In short, after the winter, it's important that you take the time to give your electric bike a good checkup. This way you can be sure that you can ride safely and comfortably, while making the most of the good weather.
