Here at Bike Education, we are committed to empowering riders of all ages with the knowledge and skills they need to safely enjoy riding electric bikes.
Here are some important tips for safely riding an electric bike:
1. Always Wear a Helmet
This may seem like a no-brainer, but it is important to always wear a helmet when riding an electric bike. A helmet will protect your head in the event of a fall or collision.
2. Be Visible
Make sure you are visible to other riders and motorists when riding your electric bike. Wear bright clothing and/or reflective gear. You may also want to consider attaching lights to your bike.
3. Follow the Rules of the Road
Just because you are riding an electric bike does not mean you can ignore the rules of the road. Obey all traffic laws and signals. Ride in the direction of traffic and use bike lanes when available.
4. Be aware of your Surroundings
Pay attention to your surroundings at all times when riding your electric bike. Be on the lookout for obstacles in the road, such as potholes or debris. Also, be aware of traffic and pedestrians.
5. Use caution when passing
Use caution when passing other riders or pedestrians. Make sure you have plenty of space and that it is safe to pass before doing so.
We hope these tips will help you safely enjoy riding your electric bike. For more information on electric bikes and bicycle safety, please visit our website or contact us.
