Simple precautions for riding electric bicycles in winter

Riding an electric bicycle to reach your destination in winter requires a lot of arrangements and precautions. The weather conditions in any location in winter will always change, so you must be prepared and planned when riding an electric bicycle. It was an even bigger test for the rider due to the cold and slippery roads.

If you have a ZNH Z9 all-terrain electric bicycle, you can be more adaptable to complete the riding challenge in winter. Cycling in winter requires a lot of effort to pedal. Therefore, you should bring less luggage when traveling in winter, especially when you are far from home. Here are the tips you need for electric bikes this winter:

Anti-skid measures for tires:

Riding an electric bicycle on icy urban roads also requires snow chains to assist. Here, I would like to share an ultra-low-cost DIY bicycle snow chain solution. Use yellow plastic ropes, which are commonly used wire strapping straps when repairing computers. Prepare some thick strapping straps and tie them to the tire in alternating directions between each spoke. , Tighten it with pliers, cut off the excess, tie the plastic tie to the tire, and tie both tires to maintain the friction level and play the role of tire anti-skid.

Check the weather forecast before heading out:

Whenever you go out, looking at the current real-time weather forecast for your location will avoid many surprises. However, it is more unavoidable in winter, because heavy snow or blizzard may come at any time, which will hinder you when you are traveling and disrupt your original plans and arrangements. Since you’ll be riding your e-bike for minutes or even hours, depending on where you’re going, you’ll need to be informed and geared up.

Check your brakes:

keep warm:

Be prepared with warm clothes, warm gloves, waterproof shoes, neck gaiter face mask, etc. Cold feet make riding painfully cold enough to feel tingling in your toes. Since most cycling shoes are designed to stay cool in the summer, the speed at which you pedal will only intensify cold winds that can cool your toes, and rain and snow can easily seep into the shoe’s vents. As mentioned above, check the weather forecast before going out, so that you can prepare warm equipment.

Stay hydrated:

You certainly won’t get hot while riding a bike in winter, but know that your body is still sweating at this time and still needs to be hydrated. When you start to shiver a little after a long lap, a warm cup of water or coffee can warm your body from the inside out. Use a double insulated thermos to keep your beverages warm, even when riding in icy conditions. If you’re riding with a regular plastic water bottle, put it in the back pocket of your jersey so it doesn’t freeze.

Check your lights:

Don’t ride without a functional light, there’s not enough sunlight in winter, late sunrise in the morning and early sunset in the evening. Darkness accounts for more than half of the day, and this has a very negative impact on your personal safety on the road. So be sure to install a portable rechargeable headlight on the handlebars, lest you get stuck in a small cafe halfway and can’t get home. Check them out at night or in low light to see if they are foggy, broken, or wobbly. This applies to headlights, taillights and signal lights.

Innovative Features of Electric Cycles: Enhancing the Riding Experience

Electric cycles (e-cycles) have revolutionized the way we commute, exercise, and explore the world around us. These modern marvels come equipped with innovative features that significantly enhance the riding experience, making them a popular choice for riders of all ages and abilities. Here are some of the standout features that set electric cycles apart:

1. Pedal Assist and Throttle Control

One of the key features of e-cycles is pedal assist, which provides a boost to your pedaling efforts. This feature allows you to ride longer distances and tackle steep hills with ease. Some e-cycles also come with a throttle control, enabling you to ride without pedaling at all, similar to a scooter.

2. Advanced Battery Technology

E-cycles are powered by high-capacity lithium-ion batteries, which offer long ranges and quick charging times. These batteries are designed to be lightweight and durable, ensuring you can rely on your e-cycle for extended journeys without frequent recharges.

Many e-cycles are equipped with Bluetooth and app connectivity, allowing you to monitor your ride statistics, battery status, and even navigate routes via your smartphone. These smart features provide a personalized riding experience and ensure you stay informed and connected.

5. Customizable Ride Modes

E-cycles often come with multiple ride modes, such as eco, sport, and turbo, which you can switch between depending on your riding conditions and preferences. This customization ensures you get the most out of your ride, whether you're commuting to work or enjoying a leisurely weekend ride.

6. Integrated Lighting Systems

Safety is paramount, and many e-cycles come with integrated front and rear lighting systems that enhance visibility during low-light conditions. Some models also feature automatic lighting that activates in the dark, ensuring you remain safe at all times.

7. Enhanced Suspension and Comfort Features

To provide a smooth and comfortable ride, e-cycles are equipped with advanced suspension systems that absorb shocks and vibrations from rough terrains. Ergonomic seats and handlebars further enhance rider comfort, making long rides more enjoyable.

8. Anti-Theft Features

Modern e-cycles often include GPS tracking and alarm systems to deter theft and provide peace of mind. Some models even allow you to lock and unlock your e-cycle via a mobile app, adding an extra layer of security.

Electric cycles are packed with innovative features that not only enhance the riding experience but also promote a more sustainable and efficient mode of transportation. Whether you're looking for a reliable commuting solution or an enjoyable way to stay active, e-cycles offer a versatile and exciting option.

Day 5 or 6 of working on the solar bike. The main bike is effectivaly finished. Decided to go lightweight on everything and it was definantly the way to go. On the back is a 24qt milk crate big enough to hold another few bike batteries. That has a thin as possible sheet of hobby plywood above it that is ziptied to the 50w flexible solar panel. And mounted to the milkcrate with hobby screws. The panel recharges the bike through a mppt step up charge controller. The front panel charges just a simple 5v battery pack for my phone. All in all, I think it turned out well.

Sorry if this is inappropriate, but I was kinda wondering what caused your house fire? What to avoid doing the future if it was preventative ya know

My housemate's e-bike battery was charging in their room, and combusted. I was at work; thankfully everyone else got out safely. But we all lost our apartment and most of our personal possessions. The bike's owner lost literally everything- they were in the shower and escaped wearing only a towel. Their room looked like a crater; that's not an exaggeration.

I support electric vehicles as part of the fight against climate change, but I REALLY need people to be aware of the risks. The lithium ion batteries they use are not like the one in your phone or your computer, or even in an electric car. While any of the above can catch fire, it seems like the ones in e-bikes and e-scooters are more likely to at the moment. And the fire burns hot and fast- I've heard conventional extinguishers can't even put it out, though I don't know much about that. This wasn't an off-brand bike or battery, either. It was by Rad Power, a well-known and popular company.

Follow all the recommendations for charging the batteries: on a flat surface, attended, and DO NOT leave them plugged in past full charge. That can help, but since this battery was not fully charged when it exploded, I strongly recommend charging them outside if at all possible. I believe some people do it inside an enclosed charcoal grill, the round sort with a cover? The cord would have to stick out but it's still SOME sort of protection in case of fire.

Personally, I will never live in a house with one again, but I have Trauma Reasons and some people need them for cheap reliable transportation. I get that. They're here to stay. We just have to protect ourselves until the technology gets past its teething troubles.

Close your bedroom door when sleeping and when you leave the house. I lost a lot, but my room was the least damaged because my door was closed- the fire literally skipped over my room and up through the ceiling crawl-space.

Beyond that- basic fire safety, I guess. Don't leave candles unattended, etc.

Take care of yourselves, people. Trust me, you don't want to go through even a nonlethal house fire- and this was the best-case scenario.

"A Ghanaian-English entrepreneur has designed an electric bike from the ground up that’s transforming short-range transportation in her home country, proving that problem-solving in Africa can be done in Africa, by Africans.

[Valerie Labi's] company, Wahu!, assembles each bike by hand, and they can travel up to 80 miles [128 kilometers] on a single charge. This means that a delivery rider for Glovo or Bolt can comfortably cover a whole day’s work without refueling.

Anyone who’s visited Accra, Ghana, in the dry season will remember the incredibly poor air quality. Poor roads mean that cars are stuck in second and third gears, and old cars traveling in second and third gears mean plenty of extra car exhaust.

Poor roads also mean exposed dirt, and exposed dirt means fine-grained dust. Combined with a lack of rain, the smog, dust, and car exhaust make the air in parts of the capital unfit for human health.

Wahu! bikes help alleviate all three of these problems, and despite her English nativity [Note: Super weird and unclear way to phrase it?] and education, the bikes were designed and manufactured in Spintex, Accra.

“By introducing electric bikes into Ghana’s transportation ecosystem, we’re not only providing a greener alternative but also offering speed and convenience,” Labi told The Mirror. “Our bikes are a testament to how service delivery can be seamlessly merged with environmental conservation.”

Valerie Labi is a true inspiration, and besides her transportation company, she got her start in the Ghanaian economy in sanitation. She holds a chieftaincy title as Gundugu Sabtanaa, given to her by the previous Chief of the Dagbon traditional area in the Northern Region of Ghana. She has three children, holds a double major in Economics and Sustainability from two separate universities, and has visited 59 countries.

Getting her start in Northern Ghana, she founded the social enterprise Sama Sama, a mobile toilet and sanitation company that now boasts 300,000 clients.

During her travels around the small, densely populated country, she also recognized that transportation was not only a problem, but offered real potential for eco-friendly solutions.

“It took us two years to effectively design a bike that we thought was fit for the African road, then we connected with Jumia and other delivery companies to get started,” she told The Mirror. “Currently, I have over 100 bikes in circulation and we give the bikes on a ‘work and pay’ basis directly to delivery riders.”

According to Labi, each driver pays about 300 Ghana cedis, or about $24.00, per week to use the bike, which can travel 24 miles per hour, and hold over 300 pounds of weight. The fat tires are supported by double-crown front/double-spring rear suspension.

The bikes are also guaranteed by the company’s proprietary anti-theft system of trackers. Only a single bike has been stolen, and it was quickly located and returned to the owner."

Fellow Urbanists, can you help?

What kind of infrastructure can make cycling and walking viable in the (middle eastern) summer?

[calamitys-child]

I try to be polite and civil in public but I have to own up to the number of times I've completely failed to stop myself snapping "YOU ARE A VEHICLE. ACT LIKE IT." at people on bikes, especially electric bikes. Your lycra shorts and sense of superiority do not grant you exemptions to principles such as The Red Light Means Stop and The Pavement Is For Pedestrians Stop Fucking Running Me Over. If god chooses to judge me for this I'll walk to hell on my own

Every bike company in America markets e-bikes like this. Action shot of dudes in typical biking gear riding an e-bike. It just proves that they don’t know who e-bikes are for.

This kind of marketing is for sporty dudes who already have road bikes. That’s the demographic that these companies are used to going after. But the e-bike market can be so much bigger than this & these companies are missing that completely.

E-bikes are incredibly practical for getting around, doing errands, and being comfortable while doing it. They can carry more weight and cargo, they’re comfortable over long distances, and they don’t require you to wear sporty bike gear because you don’t even need to sweat while riding one if you don’t want to.

That’s the market every bike company is missing when they make and market e-bikes. People who are looking for a practical, comfortable, and useful vehicle.
