A pre-ride checklist ensures that your equipment is safe and ready for use. A small amount of time spent before a ride can prevent a lot of damage to you and your ebike. Start by going through your ebike checks first.
 

• Check battery charge. If it’s low, plug it in while you complete the rest of this list.

• Check tire pressure/wear.

• Clean and lubricate your chain. 

• Inspect electrical wires and cables. 

• Check the seatpost and handlebar. 

• Check the brakes. 

• Check your shifting. 

• Check your bicycle helmet and riding gear. Tuck in your shoe laces, roll up your pant leg, and avoid loose clothing near the chain.
