• Make sure to clean your bike regularly.
Due to the high temperatures in summer, dust and debris tend to accumulate more quickly. To prevent damage to your bike, it's important to clean it regularly to remove this dirt. Don't hesitate to use water and mild soap, preferably after each ride on warmer days. This will ensure optimal protection of your components for a worry-free summer.
• Pay attention to your battery management.
High temperatures can affect the lifespan of your battery. That's why we strongly recommend not leaving your bike in the sun, but preferably in the shade to prevent its components from overheating. When not in use, store your battery in a cool, dry place. Also, when charging, try to do so in a moderately warm place, preferably early in the morning or in the evening when temperatures are milder.
• Maintain your bike's chain and gears.
Before each ride, check the condition of your chain and gears to avoid any accidents on the road! A derailment can happen quickly! Clean and lubricate them with oil to ensure smooth operation and prevent premature wear. In summer, especially after rides on dusty or sandy roads, take the time to check that nothing has been damaged.
• Don't forget to check the condition of your tires and brakes for maximum safety.
Heat tends to quickly reduce your tire pressure, which can quickly leave you flat on the side of the road! Check your tire pressure regularly and make sure they are in good condition to avoid this inconvenience. Also check the brake pads for wear and adjust them if necessary to ensure maximum safety during your summer rides.
