5.2Everyday use and inspection of electric bike
In everyday use of the electric bike, a number of mechanical, electrical parts will be worn, screws and other fasteners
are also easy to loose and the functions of the electrical appliances would be lost. If the occurrence of these phenomena is
not noted, it is prone to failure, and it is also prone to the risk when cycling, so drivers must be responsible for routine
inspection and maintenance.
5.3Maintenance
In order to ensure traffic safety, from time to time, check whether all the electrical appliances work properly, whether
there is any lost wire and whether mechanical parts are normal, and clean, wipe, oil the chain, fluted disc, flywheel and
derailleur regularly (consult your supplier for the type of the oil product) so as to maintain the normal function of each part
at any time.
6.Riding skills
A correct cycling posture is the premise of safety riding. The riding posture is closely related to the height and size of
the cyclist. So a single-bicycle cycling posture not only determines the efficiency of muscle contraction movement, but at
the same time determines whether the cyclist can manipulate the handle and brake safely. Therefore, a correct cycling
position is key to be safe.
Safety riding skills
Adjust three parts of the E-bike to suit your body; bicycling is just like doing the clothes, and it is necessary to measure
the figure and make adjustments. The method of adjusting three parts is a combination of bicycle sports mechanics, exercise
physiology and safety riding.
1
)
Adjust the position of the seat: tread the pedal downward by heel to enable all muscle of the lower extremely
joints contracts smoothly, and at the same time the principle is the legs can slightly stretch straight.
2
)
Adjust the front and rear and the height of the handlebar: for the height of the handle, in general, the
upwarping type handle is about 30-50mm higher than the seat, and the flat type handle is the same high as the seat. The
top of the below curved type is the same height as the seat. After adjusting, pay attention to the direction of the handlebar
and then lock.
*Sitting posture on the seat: similar to the posture on horseback, the weight is scattered on the handle and pedals, and
all the weight must not be placed above to prevent the pain in the hip.
*Skills of the pedal: the position of the foot is one third in the front of the length of shoes, and it is the most appropriate
t fall on the middle of the pedal. Feet must be parallel with the centerline of the bike, and it will diminish the efficiency of
the pedal if the feet are too open or narrow; the speed should maintain uniform, or else the rider may feel tired.
*Slowdown skills: the speed change gear slows down but doesn’t accelerate, as is to seek for the stability of the
number of revolutions of the pedal, so as to relieve the fatigue arising from uneven force. So, the speed change is used for
more labor-saving and comfortable.
The time for speed change is: 1.climbing 2.uneven pavement 3.against the wind 4.when feeling tired.It can also be said
the time is when feeling not comfortable during the riding.
