There is no reason to store your e-bike in winter-you can ride all year round! When taking your bike out in a cold environment, you may encounter some obstacles, but we are here to help you. From battery maintenance to bicycle maintenance, here is what you need to know about electric bicycles in cold weather.

For snow, slush, and salt, you need to clean your bike regularly to prevent rust and dirt buildup. After each ride, take a moment to wipe the bike with a damp cloth and then dry it. Plan to use bicycle-specific lubricants on your chain to keep it in top condition. As far as maintenance is concerned, unless something goes wrong, you only need to do this!

Standard tires are suitable for clean, dry roads and sidewalks. If you try to take your bike into the snow without changing your tires, you will experience a gliding experience that can lead to a crash. The studded tires are obvious when the bicycle is taken out in snowy conditions. Whether the road is plowed or icy, they will help you maintain traction.

Winter riding is different from summer riding, and you should adjust your strategy to reflect this. Slow down to combat slippery conditions, and remember how early it gets dark in winter. Don't forget to wear a helmet or reflective gear when riding, especially at night.

There is a lot to know about how electric bicycle batteries work, but the most important thing to remember is that they function like car batteries in the cold. They lose power more quickly, so you should remove the battery and bring it indoors after riding. When you are ready to ride, remove it from the charger and take it outside of your bike-you are ready to go!

Now that you know what you need to know about electric bicycles in cold weather, put on your jacket and enjoy a refreshing ride!
