Pedaling
This e-bike is designed to be a motor-assisted bicycle. You can use the motor by itself, but
ideally, you can work with the motor by pedaling. This increases the distance you can travel on
your e-bike, because it assists the motor and reduces the amount of electricity you draw from the
battery.
Riding in Wet Weather
Your e-bike is designed to function in wet conditions, such as when it is raining. However,
because the motor is on the rear wheel, it is easy to slip when moving at high speeds. If it is very
wet, be sure to avoid high speeds.
When you are traveling in wet weather, water may cause your brakes to function less efficiently
because it reduces friction between the brake pads and the wheels. Take care to slow down and
give yourself more room to stop or slow if necessary.
The Motor and Water
Your e-bike is not designed to be immersed in water. Always ensure that the water level does not
go above the middle of the tire, to prevent water from getting inside the motor.
Water in the motor can cause short-circuits and may damage the electrical systems in your e-
bike.
Riding in Cold Weather
Your e-bike is designed to operate year-round. However, in very cold conditions or when there is
a lot of snow or slush on the ground, it is possible for the motor in the e-bike to get wet or for the
brakes to function less efficiently, just as can happen in wet weather. Below 10 degrees Celsius,
the battery will not work as well as it would in warmer temperatures. While Lithium-Ion batteries
perform better than Lead-Acid batteries in temperature extremes, both will experience reduced
performance in cold temperatures.
Also, riding the e-bike in cold temperatures may require you to replace the battery sooner rather
than later.
