SHENGMILO Electric Bike Comprehensive Summer Travel Guide: Preparation, Precautions, and Riding Advantages

When the summer sun blazes and cicadas chirp non-stop on tree branches, many begin to seek a way to enjoy outdoor scenery while escaping the heat. This is when the SHENGMILO electric bike emerges as the perfect choice. It not only allows you to freely shuttle through urban streets but also initiates every journey in an eco-friendly and convenient manner.

The UV intensity of summer sunlight is extremely high, and prolonged exposure can easily damage the skin, making sun protection gear essential for travel. First, a wide-brimmed sun hat is indispensable—it not only blocks direct sunlight on the face but also provides some sun protection for the neck. Choose hats made of lightweight and breathable materials like cotton or linen to avoid discomfort from stuffiness. Pair it with a pair of polarized sunglasses, which can effectively block dazzling sunlight, reduce eye fatigue, and enhance vision clarity during riding to ensure traffic safety. Meanwhile, sun-protective clothing and ice sleeves are also great helpers against UV rays.

In addition to sun protection, heatstroke prevention equipment is equally necessary. Riding in summer easily causes sweating and significant water loss, making a large-capacity water bottle a must-have. It is recommended to choose a water bottle with thermal insulation function to keep water cool and avoid excessively high water temperature. Prepare some heatstroke prevention medicines, such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, cooling oil, and Shidishui. Huoxiang Zhengqi Water can effectively relieve heatstroke symptoms like dizziness and nausea; applying cooling oil to the temples can refresh the mind and alleviate summer heat; Shidishui is also effective for mild heatstroke. Keep these medicines in a small carry-on backpack for emergency use.

The battery of the SHENGMILO electric bike is its core component, making pre-trip inspection crucial. First, check the battery level to ensure it is sufficient for the trip. If the battery is low, charge it in a timely manner. During charging, pay attention to the environment. Avoid charging in direct sunlight or high-temperature enclosed spaces; choose a cool and ventilated place to prevent the battery from accelerating aging or even causing safety hazards due to overheating. Meanwhile, check whether the battery connection is firm, and whether there is looseness or corrosion. If any abnormalities are found in the connection, clean and fasten it promptly to ensure stable power transmission between the battery and the vehicle. Additionally, regularly check the battery's usage status through the vehicle dashboard or related apps. If issues like significantly reduced battery life are found, contact after-sales service for inspection and maintenance in a timely manner.

As the power source of the SHENGMILO electric bike, the motor's performance directly affects the riding experience. Before traveling, start the vehicle and carefully listen to the motor's operation sound. Under normal conditions, the motor should run smoothly. If abnormal noises such as harsh friction or buzzing vibrations are found, stop using the vehicle immediately and contact professional maintenance personnel for inspection. This may be caused by wear, looseness, or insufficient lubrication of internal motor parts. Timely maintenance can prevent problems from worsening and ensure the motor's normal service life. Additionally, regularly clean the motor to remove surface dust and debris, preventing dust from entering the motor and affecting its performance.

The fork is a key component ensuring riding comfort and maneuverability. Check whether the fork is deformed, cracked, or leaking oil. If the fork is deformed or cracked, it will affect the vehicle's driving stability and increase riding risks; oil leakage will reduce the fork's shock absorption performance, failing to effectively filter vibrations on bumpy roads and making riding uncomfortable. For forks with shock absorption functions, also check whether the shock absorption effect is normal by pressing the fork to feel if the rebound force and speed are uniform and moderate. If fork problems are found, promptly repair or replace them at a professional maintenance shop.

The braking system is crucial for riding safety and must be carefully checked. Test the sensitivity of the front and rear brakes respectively by gently pinching the brake levers to feel if the braking force is moderate and whether the brakes can quickly respond to stop the wheels. Meanwhile, check whether the brake cables are loose, worn, or broken. Loose brake cables will result in insufficient braking force, affecting braking performance; worn or broken brake cables pose a risk of sudden breakage, seriously threatening riding safety. If brake cable issues are found, adjust or replace them in a timely manner. Additionally, check the wear level of the brake pads and replace them promptly when they are worn to a certain extent to ensure braking performance.

The condition of the tires should not be overlooked. Check whether the tire pressure meets the standard, as both too high and too low tire pressure will affect riding stability and comfort. Excessively high pressure reduces the tire's contact area with the ground, easily causing vehicle 颠簸 (bumping), and the tire is more prone to bursting when encountering obstacles; too low pressure increases tire rolling resistance, leading to faster power consumption and 加剧 (accelerated) tire wear. Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the tire pressure and adjust it according to the standard in the vehicle manual. Additionally, check whether the tire surface is worn, cut, bulged, or embedded with foreign objects. Severe tire wear and shallow tread will reduce tire grip, making it easy to slip on wet roads; cuts and bulges may cause sudden tire bursts. For problematic tires, repair or replace them in a timely manner.

At noon in summer, the temperature often reaches the daily peak, with intense sunlight and extremely high road temperatures. Riding during this period not only increases the risk of heatstroke but also damages key components like the battery and motor. Therefore, avoid traveling during the high-temperature period from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and choose cooler times such as early morning or evening. In the early morning, the air is fresh, the temperature is pleasant, and there are relatively few vehicles and pedestrians on the road, allowing you to enjoy a more peaceful and comfortable riding environment; in the evening, as the sun sets, the scenery is beautiful, and you can enjoy the beautiful sunset while riding.

When planning the riding route, understand the road conditions in advance. Try to choose flat, spacious, and low-traffic roads, avoiding construction sections or rough paths. Construction sections often have problems such as narrow roads, dust, and chaotic traffic, increasing riding difficulty and safety hazards; rough paths not only cause bumpy rides but may also impose greater impact on components like the fork and tires, shortening their service life. Meanwhile, use navigation tools like mobile maps to check traffic conditions in real-time, avoid congested sections, and improve travel efficiency. Additionally, for unfamiliar routes, do your homework in advance to understand the locations of 沿途 (along-the-way) gas stations, convenience stores, repair points, etc., to get help promptly when needed.

Strictly abiding by traffic rules is the primary principle to ensure riding safety. During riding, follow traffic light instructions, and do not run red lights or rush. When turning at intersections, turn on the turn signal in advance or extend your arm to signal, letting other vehicles and pedestrians know your driving intention. Meanwhile, keep riding in the non-motor vehicle lane and do not arbitrarily occupy the motor vehicle lane. If there is no non-motor vehicle lane, ride on the right side of the road and maintain a safe distance from motor vehicles to avoid collisions.

Controlling the riding speed is also an important aspect of ensuring safety. Although the SHENGMILO electric bike has strong power, adjust the speed reasonably according to different road conditions. In urban streets, due to the large number of pedestrians and vehicles and complex road conditions, maintain a lower speed to respond to unexpected situations in a timely manner; on open and flat roads, you can appropriately increase the speed but do not exceed the speed limit. Additionally, when passing through crowded areas such as schools, shopping malls, and bus stops, slow down and pay attention to observing the dynamics of surrounding pedestrians to prevent accidents caused by pedestrians suddenly crossing the road.

Maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles and pedestrians is equally critical. When overtaking preceding vehicles or pedestrians, observe the surrounding environment in advance, ensure safety before overtaking, and try to maintain a certain lateral distance. Avoid riding side by side with other vehicles to prevent collisions due to mutual interference. Meanwhile, pay attention to vehicles coming from behind, understand the driving situation of rear vehicles by using the rearview mirror or looking back, and ensure no vehicles are approaching from behind when changing lanes or turning.

Summer brings more rainfall, and try to avoid riding in rainy weather. If unavoidable, pay attention to protecting the vehicle. Although the SHENGMILO electric bike is designed with certain waterproof performance, prolonged rain or passing through deep water sections may still cause components like the battery and motor to get water, thereby damaging the vehicle. Therefore, when riding in the rain, try to choose roads with less water accumulation and avoid immersing the vehicle in water. After riding, promptly dry the vehicle surface with a dry cloth, especially key parts like battery interfaces and motors, to prevent water residue from causing short circuits or rust.

If the vehicle breaks down during riding, stay calm and take correct emergency measures. First, move the vehicle to a safe area to avoid affecting other vehicles and pedestrians. For simple faults like tire punctures or loose brake cables, try to repair them yourself. For example, use a portable tire repair kit to patch a punctured tire; adjust the brake cable fastening screw to solve loose brake cables. If self-repair is not possible, promptly contact SHENGMILO after-sales service personnel or professional maintenance personnel for help. Meanwhile, during the waiting period for rescue, set up obvious warning signs, such as placing a triangular warning sign behind the vehicle, to remind oncoming vehicles to avoid and ensure personal safety.
