"Front Brake" Or "Rear Brake"? That Is The Question

-

In the process of cycling, there are often uncertain factors such as poor road conditions and the sudden appearance of pedestrians. The first reaction of cyclists should be to brake immediately. However, we may encounter unexpected situations due to different personal riding experiences. Should I brake the front brake or the rear brake first? This issue is related to the safety of riding, so a correct concept must be established.

So when riding, should the front brake or the rear brake be braked first?

Since electric bicycles are very different in design from general commuter bicycles, excessive braking control can easily cause a lockup. Some new bikes will have a warning sign on them, note: First brake "rear brake" and then brake "front brake". This warning cannot be said to be false, nor can it be regarded as truth. Because this sign is mainly aimed at amateur riders who have not been in contact with the bicycle for a long time, in order to prevent new riders from mishandling control in an emergency, the front brake is too strong, causing the front wheel to lock up and the danger of forwarding somersaults.

Many amateur teams or riders who are new to cycling have not received certain professional guidance or sufficient training, and they ride on mountain roads or forest roads with courage. They have insufficient safety concepts or even go on the road with the wrong concepts, it is very easy to cause danger.

Many beginners prefer to use the rear brake and use the front brake less because they are worried that using the front brake will cause somersaults. In fact, the front brake is safer in many situations, and learning to use the front brake can also be learned quickly.


Generally speaking: "For bicycle riding, the front brake is an effective brake, and the rear brake is used to assist in controlling the speed." Many experienced bicycle players and experts remind amateur bicycle casual riders when going to mountain roads or unfamiliar sections, In addition to being adaptable, you must also have the correct concept of braking.


The braking method of "rear brake" and then "front brake", generally does not cause too much danger on straight flat roads or uphill sections. However, if you enter the forest trail or mountain biking, this braking method may be dangerous.


Many people know that when the speed exceeds 10 kilometers if the rear brake is used first, even if it is in a straight line, the tail will drift, and it will swing more severely when turning, or even roll over. However, using the front brake will not cause the tail to drift. Even if the brake cannot be stopped, it will go straight. Therefore, it is recommended that casual bicycle riders can consider using 70% of the front brake and 30% of the rear brake when training the brakes during the normal riding process. Or more simply, "the rear brake is only an auxiliary, helping to slow down.".


At the same time, in addition to paying attention to the brakes when riding a bicycle, you should also make good use of the convex mirror on the curve to observe whether there is an oncoming vehicle. In addition, helmets and gloves are necessary equipment.


Are you front braking or rear braking? No matter what kind of braking method, safety should be the first priority, and choose the brake calmly and calmly in case of emergency!

Riding an electric bike during the cold months of the winter season has its own thrill and excitement. Now that we have advanced technology, and of course, warmer clothing, it becomes hard to resist the challenge of taking your E-Bike out for a ride. Here are a few guidelines that you should follow while taking your Electric bike out in the winter: Take Care of the Battery You must ensure that the temperature of the battery in your bike is above freezing before you charge it, or else it could harm its cells. The bike or the battery won’t be harmed if you ride below freezing conditions but make sure that you allow the battery to warm up before charging (this does not mean that you put it in front of a heater!). Electric Bike Maintenance Keep your bike neat and clean. Winter comes with snow and rain, so your bike is bound to catch all the dirt that comes with it. You can wipe it with a damp cloth on a regular basis and use a lubricant for the chain. Watch Out For Rust Rust can destroy yo

More persuasive comments! Here we received one from Jordana Harris. She and her husband are people who travel around in an RV and also cycling enthusiasts. She bought  S07-B for herself and her husband, and they enjoyed challenging all kinds of rugged terrain.  Let's S ee W hat S he W ould S hare: “ We really appreciate the quality of these e-bikes for the price! My husband and I each own one and we have put around 500 miles each on them now! We are nomadic and use them as transportation and commuting as well as some super fun off-roading! The quality of these e-bikes have been great especially for the reasonable price. They can easily be upgraded as things wear out with regular use! There is definitely a learning curve when you first start riding them but as you go, you learn how much you can depend on their use! Every time we ride, someone is asking us about them. The terrain we ride varies from the OR forest (narrow wooded trails with roots) to the high desert (sandstone, loose
