E-bikes can make cycling more accessible, practical and FUN but a little knowledge goes a long way. ⚡🚲
If you’re new to electric bikes:
✅ Learn your assist levels before riding in traffic
✅ Start on a lower assist setting
✅ Practice smooth starts and stops
✅ Give yourself extra braking distance
✅ Wear a properly fitted helmet
✅ Follow the manufacturer’s battery and charging instructions
✅ Know where your controls are before you need them
Most importantly: take a few practice rides somewhere comfortable before heading into heavier traffic.
