The use of an electric bike resembles that of a conventional, mechanical bike, but differentiated with some noteworthy. If you have not yet driven on an e-bike, you should take some safety precautions before the first trip to familiarize yourself with the system. On the one hand, an electric bike is more difficult to extend the brake path. You should choose a seating position that is pleasant and safe, so that you will quickly and safely come to a standstill in the event of a danger braking. Wear a helmet and choose a controlled environment, far from cars, other cyclists, obstacles and unforeseen events. Make sure that the battery is locked up within the framework. Otherwise there is a risk that the battery will detach and be damaged while driving.1. Familiarize yourself with the brakes. Test them at low speed, shift your weight back and gently press the brake lever. Excessive activity of the front brake can lead to the fall. 2. The wheel can block too strong and lead to the loss of control or even fall. 3. If your bike has a suspension, familiarize yourself with the response of the suspension when braking and the shift in weight. 4. Check the driving behavior and the response of the bike in general and find a comfortable seating position and attitude. 5. Check the speed of the bike with the help of the brakes. The bike can speed up quickly from a standing position and surprise you. Make sure you always have the necessary space.
