- Risk of overheating: hilly terrain may require more effort
from the electric power assist system. It is important
to monitor engine and battery temperature to avoid
overheating. If a significant temperature rise is detected, it
is recommended to stop and allow the system to cool down
before continuing.
- Risk of premature wear and tear: mountainous terrain
can subject E-bike to increased stresses and wear.
Regular inspections of the E-bike and its components are
recommended, paying attention to signs of wear and tear,
damage or weaknesses. Replace any worn or damaged
components immediately to maintain the safety and
optimum performance of the E-bike.
- Always wear a suitable bicycle helmet and ensure that it
is correctly fitted. The use of helmets is of vital importance
to safeguard the integrity of the head in case of falls or
accidents.
- Periodically check the brakes to ensure that they are
functioning properly. Check brake pads for wear and tear,
and adjust if necessary. Brakes in good condition are
indispensable to ensure efficient braking ability.
- Check tyre pressure regularly. Ensure that the tyres are
inflated to the recommended pressure. Underinflated tyres
can affect the stability and performance of the bike, as well
as increase the risk of punctures.
- Inspect the steering of the bicycle and ensure that it is
properly adjusted. Check that there is no play and make
sure that it rotates smoothly without hindrance. Loose or
defective steering can compromise control of the bicycle.
- Regularly check tyres for damage or deformation. Ensure
that they are in good condition, with no cracks, dents or
other problems that could compromise their structural
integrity.
