6 Horrible Mistakes You're Making With Your Electric Cycle

We can see you're totally smitten with your electric cycle ride, and that's why you've landed here, right? Well, don't sweat it; we all goof up sometimes. But here's the deal: making the same blunders over and over can zap the life out of anyone or anything, including your trusty electric cycle.

Now, let's talk about those super cool two-wheeled wonders that make your daily commute feel as smooth as butter – so smooth even the air can't keep up! But here's the scoop: We've chatted with tons of electric cycle lovers like you, and guess what? They often make a bunch of boo-boos without even realizing it!

Don't worry, we're not here to spook you or anything. Nope! the reason our talented writers spilled the beans here is to give you a helping hand in steering clear of those pesky mistakes.

Enough of dodging problems – it's high time we roll up our sleeves and fix 'em!

You are not keeping up with the maintenance?

Now you might ask “What is there to maintain?” Well, not much, but 'not much' doesn't mean 'nothing at all'; it means something!

An electric cycle drives its juice from the battery to give the performance that can keep up with all your adventures, be it city roads or mountain trails.

So, it is important to keep maintaining and boosting those WATTS.

The tyres that are indeed very sturdy deserve a little attention too because your friends might betray you on the last minute plans but these two won’t. So a little reciprocal effort will do a lot more than you can imagine. Timely inflation is just as important to keep them rolling not just on weekends but on weekdays too.

Who on earth, prefers a dry spell? Like, don’t we all keep waiting for the rain because nourished soil obviously smells better and does wonders for the nature? Just like that lack of nourishment (lubricant) on the chain will lose its purpose, making it cranky like your Ex. And since you don’t wanna repeat mistakes it's important to keep the chain lubricated.

No! overcharging does not equate to extra fun

In our electric world, the only three words that we care about are “80% in 3hrs” because 80% represents the optimal charging capacity for any battery! Charging the battery beyond the needed capacity or overcharging is not going to add more to your adventure. Charging your electric cycle battery beyond the manufacturer's recommended guidelines can shorten its lifespan. This reduced longevity will, in turn, adversely affect the performance of your electric cycle

So, here’s the simplest solution to it; Avoid leaving your electric cycle plugged in for extended periods. Stop doing that! Big time!

Still, choosing 1 when you got FUN-TASTIC 5?

While writing this our writers knew the superhero feels that run through your head when you just keep the throttle mode on. It feels like throttling through all your problems, right? But there are like a billion reasons why we offer 5 amazing modes (one of them being “for even more fun”).

Why only use the throttle mode and put Pas, cruise, walk, and mechanical modes to rest? Gunning your electric cycle with the throttle and not throwing in some pedal power, your electric cycle battery is gonna wave the white flag pretty darn fast.

But guess what? We've got a nifty solution for you: Get cozy with those pedal assist modes! They're like the secret cape to stretch your electric cycle range and make your ride a whole new superhero adventure with more of the superpowers.

But we don’t mind you going overboard with SAFETY!

If you're out there riding your electric cycle without the right safety gear – you know, the cool stuff like helmets, frontlights, taillights, rear lights, and snazzy reflective clothes – well, that's like dancing with danger.

So, we've got a simple solution to keep you safe and sound. Always rock that safety gear like it's your superhero costume, and don't forget to play by the rules of the road. You'll be zooming around like a champ in no time! ⁠

Let them only admire your electric cycle- not take it home

You see, everyone loves amazing things, but if they're not properly protected, can become easy targets for thieves. So, to ensure that your trusty ride remains exclusively yours, it's essential to give it a lock. After all, when you're at parties, you want to be the life of the party, not a stress ball worrying about your electric cycle disappearing. That's why we recommend investing in a sturdy cycling lock. And just so you know, we've already anticipated your needs and started offering a variety of them! (click here to get one)

Flouting Weight Restrictions on Your Electric Cycle

Treat your electric cycle like an all-you-can-eat buffet, and overloading it with more weight than it can handle could lead to a motor meltdown and a need for some serious electric cycle therapy.

Remember when you bought those sturdy wheels? You were given a guide for a reason. It's time to start following it and embrace the wisdom of those electric cycle's creators! Stick to their weight recommendations as if they're the ultimate diet plan, and your electric cycle will stay fit and fabulous.

Conclusion

In conclusion, fellow electric cycle rider, we've taken you on a thrilling ride through the common mistakes that can zap the life out of your trusty electric cycle. From neglecting maintenance and overcharging to underutilizing those fantastic modes and skimping on safety gear, we've covered it all.

But fear not, for with these insights, we've armed you with the knowledge to keep your electric cycle fit, fabulous, and exclusively yours. So, let's bid farewell to those blunders, embrace proper care and usage, and ensure our electric cycles continue to provide us with smooth, superhero-like adventures on two wheels.
