Regularly inspect your ebike for any issues, especially in colder weather where components may be more prone to wear.
Keep the chain lubricated and ensure all moving parts are functioning correctly.

Cold temperatures can affect battery performance. Store your ebike indoors when not in use, and keep the battery charged.
Consider using an insulated cover for the battery to help maintain a stable temperature.

9. Be Cautious on Ice and Snow:
Approach icy or snowy patches with extreme caution, and be prepared to dismount and walk if conditions become treacherous.
Avoid sudden movements or sharp turns on slippery surfaces.

10. Plan Shorter Routes:
Winter conditions may slow you down, so plan shorter routes to avoid being exposed to extreme weather for extended periods.
Inform someone about your route and expected return time.

11. Protect Your Electronics:
Keep your display and electronic components protected from moisture by using waterproof covers or storage bags.
Store your ebike in a dry place when not in use.

Carry essential tools and equipment, and know how to perform basic roadside repairs.
Bring a fully charged phone and let someone know your route and estimated time of arrival.
