Here is a quick email reminder outlining how to store your EBike for winter. Proper storage and care for your EBike, as well as your EBike battery during winter, is essential to maximize their lifespan and efficiency. To assist you in this process, we've compiled helpful tips and recommended products to make your winter EBike experience more.

Proper Storage of EBike Battery in Winter :      

Batteries lose range and can suffer irreparable damage if frozen or improperly used when their temperature drops below 0 degrees.                

• Always store your EBike battery indoors when it is not in use.    
• Store lithium batteries in a dry place with an average temperature of 17.5 degrees.
• Check your battery every few weeks, charge it when it drops below 40%, and stop charging before it reaches 80%. 
• Do not charge your battery in a cold environment. Charge it where you would be storing your battery.
• Check your battery every few weeks, as lithium batteries naturally discharge themselves over time.
