Nighttime electric bike rides offer a thrilling way to explore your hometown after dark! But before you hit the streets, make sure you're prepared to ride safely.
Always check that the battery is fully charged and properly installed before your evening ride. You wouldn’t want to run out of juice in the darkness. It’s always better to have more charge than you think you will need so you don’t end up pedaling your bike home with no electric power.
Use bright front and rear lights. All TT-EBIKE models come equipped with bright waterproof headlights powered by the bike's battery, illuminating the road ahead with up to 2,000 lumens of powerful light. The headlight helps you easily spot any potential obstacles or potholes on the street, but make sure your bike also has adequate backlighting for other nighttime riders to see you.
If your bike has a USB port, remember that it can usually be used for more than just charging your phone. You can install extra lights, maybe even some sweet RGB for that extra bling. Just remember not to blind others with your dazzling ride!
Curbs, potholes, and edges can ruin your ride. If you happen to face them head-on, victory is yours as long as you can control your ride properly. Make sure you have quality shock absorbers and thoroughly check your electric bike before riding.
This goes without saying. When you land, make sure you're wearing the right electric bike helmet. And don't forget about other safety gear for the rest of your body so you can confidently dust yourself off, grab your bike, and start a new adventure.
Always pay careful attention to the road while riding on your e-bike, but it's especially vital at night when the riding conditions are less ideal. Defensive riding is a valuable skill for ensuring your safety. Even with reflective gear and lights on your electric bike, distracted drivers might still miss you. You can protect yourself with the following tactics:
Remember to ride safely by using the right electric bike features, proper attire and helmet, and the right accessories to light up your path and make yourself more visible to surrounding drivers.
