Ride Smart, Ride Safe
Welcome to the eSthira family! As you embark on your journey with your new eSthira e-bike, safety is our top priority. Follow these essential tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable ride every time.
-
Wear a Helmet: Always wear a properly fitted helmet. It’s your first line of defense in an accident.
-
Check Your Bike Before Riding: Perform a quick inspection of your e-bike before each ride. Ensure the brakes are working, the tires are properly inflated, and the battery is securely in place.
-
Be Visible: Use lights and reflective gear, especially when riding in low light conditions. Visibility can be a lifesaver.
-
Follow Traffic Rules: Obey all traffic signals and signage. Remember, e-bikes are subject to the same rules as traditional bicycles.
-
Use Bike Lanes When Available: Stick to bike lanes whenever possible. If there’s no bike lane, ride on the right side of the road, with traffic.
-
Stay Alert: Keep an eye out for road hazards like potholes, gravel, and wet surfaces. Also, be aware of cars and pedestrians around you.
-
Signal Your Intentions: Use hand signals to indicate turns and lane changes. Clear communication can prevent accidents.
-
Keep a Safe Distance: Maintain a safe distance from other vehicles. This gives you more time to react in case of sudden stops.
-
Do Not Speed: Maintain a safe, controllable speed. Remember, faster speeds make it harder to react in time.
-
Secure Your E-Bike: Always lock your e-bike securely when not in use. Theft prevention is part of being a responsible e-bike owner.
By following these safety tips, you’ll not only protect yourself but also contribute to a safer environment for everyone on the road. Enjoy your ride, and stay safe!
