Winter Riding Tips for Riding the Electric Bicycle

Winter Riding Tips for Riding the Electric Bicycle

Kyle Elkilany, a cycling club mountain biker from Minnesota, has 20 years of riding experience and is also the user of the Yamee Ebike. He is a big riding enthusiast and has been pursuing extreme sports, which is why he has fully used this winter for training. He acknowledged that he would train in the warm south when it was the coldest, but he also said that his hometown was so beautiful that it was a pity to leave it.

Keep cool

This sounds counterintuitive, but if you sweat too hot at the moment when your clothes will get wet (even breathable fabrics will get wet). The result is that you will catch a cold. Really cold! "Even in 20 degrees Fahrenheit, riding an electric bike on a snowy mountain can still make you feel hot." It's critical to take off a layer of clothing or unzip when you get hot."

Take chemical warm products with you

Sometimes the temperature will be lower than you expected, especially for your feet and hands. Kyle would bring a chemical hand warmer and tuck it between his socks and shoes. If things get worse, you can put them in your gloves. They are cheap insurance, they are basically negligible, and they take up very little space in the bag. "Just be sure to open them before your hands are too cold to open the pack," Kyle suggested. "Putting on a pair of cycling glasses will help while riding in the snow in winter because they can reflect the sunlight. If you stare at the snow for a long time, it may cause your eyes to be blind. At the same time, the glasses can prevent the wind and sand from making your eyes water," he said.

Adding clothes 1:10

This is Kyle's experience: "I think that every 10 degrees Fahrenheit adds one long sleeve." Try to find the dress rule that suits you. You can start adding a thin coat below 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Add long-sleeve jerseys as the temperature cools, and then vests or lightweight jackets. When it gets below zero, consider warm long-sleeve bottoms and heavier cycling jackets.

Thick gloves for emergency use

Don't skimp on investing in winter gloves. Shop for a pair of warm gloves that still give you the flexibility to shift and brake. Kyle also recommends carrying a thicker pair of "emergency" gloves. He usually keeps it in his pocket or backpack. "They're exaggerated ski gloves, and sometimes I don't think I'll ever need them," he said, "but in fact, I often need them during my rides."

Wear a cycling cap

The right hat will keep your head warm and provide some other protection. "I like wearing a special riding winter hat under my helmet," Kyle said, "because you can block the wind by flipping the edges."

Watch the thermometer

Take a look at the temperature before and after your ride, and notice your riding comfort. Your goal is to find the answer to "What should I wear?" Kyle said, "I know my gloves are perfect at 68 to 86 degrees." Being prepared before riding will allow you more time on the road.

Conclusion

Winter cycling can help you enjoy the different scenery. Our fans of Yamee know that our bikes are an fat-tire electric bike. The wide-tire electric bike helps increase friction and makes our riding process more stable. Now that you have such a powerful mount, what are you waiting for? Let's get the Yamee ebike to your home and enjoy riding happiness in this winter!
