By Addmotor | 14 October 2024 | 0 Comments
Addmotor electric trikes have benefited riders in diverse ways, whether helping adults travel independently or maintaining fitness with less intense activity by motor assistance. Riders enjoy traveling on an Addmotor e-trike in all seasons and weather conditions, but the riding conditions become severe in the fall season and require additional safety. Fall means slippery road conditions due to leaves everywhere, unpredictable weather conditions, and heavy winds blowing around, creating pressure during the ride. After the beautiful autumn season, this sudden change in weather conditions requires safety and precautions when riding the e-trike. So, to help you have a safe riding experience in the upcoming fall season, here are some fall riding tips that you can follow to enjoy riding your Addmotor e-trike, even in tough weather conditions.
 

Fall riding tips

#1.  Ensure your visibility during the ride

Fall means shorter and cloudy days and longer nights, with most of the traveling on the e-trike occurring when the daylight diminishes, which requires additional safety for the riders. Due to cloudy and foggy weather, there is low visibility and more chances of accidents.
Riders should ensure they are visible to other riders and passengers around them, and their electric trikes should have an efficient lighting system with high range and sufficient brightness. The reflectors or bright strips should also be placed on the e-trike to make it visible to others and avoid collisions.
For the safety of the riders, Addmotor electric trikes have an efficient lighting system with a well-illuminated and long-range headlight and multifunctional taillight that works as a brake light, flashlight, and turning signals.

 

#2.  Layer yourself up well

The fall season also brings a major drop in temperature and cool breezes, which may make it difficult for the riders to handle and control the e-trike. To avoid shivering and chances of losing control of the e-trike, the riders should layer themselves well. It is better to wear gloves to prevent the hands from freezing and trembling to avoid losing the grip on the handlebar. Using helmets, ear warmers, thermals, raincoats, and oversized clothing are some of the clothing that you should consider wearing during the fall.


#3.  Watch out for slippery surfaces

The riders may encounter slippery and wet surfaces during the fall due to the scattered leaves everywhere and unpredictable weather conditions. Even though the electric trikes provide better stability due to their three wheels, the wet and slippery surfaces may result in skidding or rolling, especially when turning the e-trike. So, the riders should watch out for the road conditions in the fall season and carefully ride the e-trike over the leaves that may be hiding the potholes and rocks underneath.
 

#4.  Avoid long journeys

Even though adults can ride the electric trikes as much as they want all year round due to the comfort, stability, and convenience it provides to them, the fall season requires some extra precautions. Due to the unpredictability of the weather conditions and extreme temperatures, the riders should avoid long journeys for some time. You can plan short adventures or small trips to nearby scenic places to enjoy the views and have fun.
 

​​​​#5.  Ensure regular maintenance of the e-trike

Extreme weather conditions can also impact the effectiveness of the components and features of an e-trike, and require regular checks and maintenance. Ensure that all the components of an e-trike are in excellent condition and working efficiently prior to the ride.
- Battery maintenance
Since the battery is the most crucial component of electric trikes, it requires extra care, especially in the fall season, since cool temperatures can affect the performance of the battery. You may also notice a decrease in the range of your e-trike during the fall season, so it is better to plan shorter trips rather than being stranded at a distant place and pedaling way back home. So before going on a ride, check the battery charging and charge it fully, and store your e-trike indoors in a dry place with moderate temperature.
It is better to look for batteries that are certified and vigorously tested for the safety and convenience of the riders.
For this reason, all the models of the Addmotor electric trikes are equipped with UL-certified batteries tested vigorously according to international safety standards. Most of the models of Addmotor electric trikes have undergone the recent UL-2849 certification, which tests all the electrical systems of the electric trikes and ensures that the riders are safe from any electrical accidents.

- Check the pressure of the tires
Tires are also majorly affected by the cold environment, and the pressure in the tires mainly gets impacted. Variations in the tire pressure during fall may impact the traction and stability of the ride, especially when riding on wet and slippery surfaces or countering puddles and potholes. So, it is important to check the tire pressure before riding your e-trike and maintain the pressure according to the recommended value. Also, see if the tires show any signs of wear and tear, and if they do, then it’s time to replace them. The well-treaded tires are the best to consider in the fall season for a better grip on slippery and wet roads.
There are various models of Addmotor electric trikes that come with 4-inch wide and well-treaded tires that provide optimum grip and stability on all kinds of terrains.

 

#6.  Prepare in advance for unpredictable weather

The weather during the fall season can be very unpredictable and change within a matter of minutes. You may start your ride under bright and sunny weather with no chances of rain but may get soaked by heavy rain halfway through your journey. To avoid this, it is better to prepare yourself in advance for the unpredictable weather by carrying essential items
and clothing along with you, like a raincoat, gloves, or an extra pair of clothes or shoes. It is also vital to carry emergency items like a first aid kit and tool kit to repair any damage. You can carry all these things in the waterproof storage bag that comes with Addmotor electric trikes and can be placed on the rack present at the rear end of the electric trikes.  
 

The fall season may come up with some challenges for the e-trike riders due to its unpredictability and the impact it has on the other factors associated with the riding conditions. Riding an e-trike can be enjoyable all year round, but when the right choice is made when purchasing the e-trike. Addmotor electric trikes come with all the features and components that may be necessary for providing a comfortable, safe, and enjoyable riding experience to the riders, especially in the fall season. With some additional riding tips, you can enjoy riding your Addmotor e-trike while feeling mesmerized by the scenic autumn views and experiencing the calmness as the cooling breezes pass through you. So, choose your Addmotor e-trike now for your next fall adventure.
