Illuminate your rides with safety in mind! From essential LED safety lights to high/low beam features, as well as illuminated helmets and reflective detailing, EBC is dedicated to shedding light on the best practices for keeping your journeys safe, even in the darkest hours.
Here are some of our top tips for e-bike riding in low-light conditions:
Lights: Front and rear lights are indispensable for nighttime riding, not only for your own visibility but also to ensure that other vehicles can see you. Consider additional features like high/low beams, turn signals, brake lights, and automatic sensors for enhanced safety. Don’t forget to add lights to your helmet for increased visibility. Our E-Helmet comes equipped with front and rear lights and optional flashing modes to maximize visibility during nighttime rides and in busy traffic areas.
Power: Be prepared for unexpected situations, especially when riding at night. Make sure your battery is fully charged, and consider carrying a spare battery in your backpack or MIK trunk bag. This not only extends your riding range but also ensures that your lights stay on and your devices stay powered, including the ability to charge your cell phone, regardless of the time of day.
Reflective Gear: In addition to lights, incorporate reflective details into your riding gear and e-bike accessories. Reflective sidewalls on tires and reflective apparel increase your overall visibility, making you more noticeable to other road users.
Be Prepared: Plan your route in advance if you anticipate riding in the dark. Know your destination, estimate the power needed for the journey, and pack appropriate clothing and reflective gear to ensure a safe and comfortable ride. If you rely on GPS navigation, consider using a hands-free phone mount for added convenience and safety.
