Mistakes to Avoid When Riding a Rented E-Bike

 

Renting an e-bike on vacation and riding it to the hills and the beach to watch the sunset has become a favorite activity for many people today. E-bikes can make the world and your vacation spot a more pleasant and happy place for most people.

But before you put your fat tire electric bikes up for sale, are you really aware of those things you should not do? You still need to be aware of a few things because electric bikes are not your typical bikes. So, this article presents some e-bike riding mistakes you should never make when renting them during your vacation. Also, don’t forget to find a good e-bike rental company in Dubrovnik Coastal Cycling.

Don't leave your e-bike battery empty after a ride.

After a long ride, leaving your e-bike batteries empty is actually one of the worst things you can do for them. It is possible that you won't always remember to charge and store your e-bikes. If your e-bike battery still has 60 or 70 percent left, that's acceptable. On the other hand, if they are fully empty, keeping your electric bikes uncharged will undoubtedly have an effect on the health of your batteries since it may cause malfunctions.

Don’t put your e-bikes on charge for longer than necessary.

It is not a good idea to leave your e-bike chargers connected, even with the many smart chargers available that will shut off automatically when the battery is full. This is because smart chargers typically restart themselves even if the batteries only deplete 1%. If you want to keep them charged for an extended period, the cycle will continue, damaging the batteries.

Never contaminate your disc brakes.

The brake discs are easily contaminated; even a light fingertip contact might do so. This may not be something you notice right away. So, anytime the brakes are used, there may be a constant squealing noise due to disc contamination. Furthermore, this will somewhat lessen the braking force. As a result, refrain from touching them or applying any kind of spray on them. You are losing braking power because, despite not touching the discs, they will still be somewhat dirty.

Ignoring the need for supplies

Some e-bike riders have a tendency to forget essential gear when Exploring and Experiencing Dubrovnik. Tools or spare parts are always needed in an emergency to escape problems. Additionally, you should consume more food and water than you may think. When you are out riding for an extended period, nothing is worse than feeling hungry and dehydrated. 

Final thoughts

Renting e-bikes for your vacation is not stressful, so find a good e-bike rental service for your vacation and enjoy your Electric Bike Adventures in the new place at your own pace.
