EBike Edmonton Commuting Tips

Plan Your Route: Edmonton's bike infrastructure, while better than other Canadian cities, is still lacking in certain areas. Make sure to plan ahead and ensure that you have a safe route to travel.

Utilize Lighting: It can often be difficult for motorists to see bicycle riders, particularly at dusk or dawn. Ensure that you are making use of front and back lighting on your e-bike to reduce your risk.

Invest In Safety Equipment: Ensure that you have a helmet and reflective gear where necessary. When travelling at high speeds or in close proximity to traffic a helmet can save your life should an accident occur.

Ride Defensively: Unfortunately not all drivers on the road are courteous when it comes to crosswalks and bike lanes. Ensure that you are protecting yourself by clearing intersections and making eye contact with drivers that stop for you.

Start Slow: If you are new to e-bikes or biking in general, start on a low pedal assist mode and get comfortable going slow on your bike before you utilize its full power.
