Mistakes when using electric motorbikes in the rainy season
The rainy season is a sensitive time for all types of vehicles, including electric motorbikes.
Because when used in the rainy season, electric vehicles not only have to face flooding but also suffer from high humidity. Below are common mistakes that users often make when using electric vehicles in the rainy season and how to fix them.
No regular inspection and maintenance
Many people often ignore regular inspection and maintenance of electric vehicles during the rainy season. This leads to the vehicle being easily damaged.
Therefore, it is necessary to periodically check the electrical system, battery and other parts of the vehicle. Make sure that the electrical connections are not rusted and the braking system is working properly. Regularly clean and lubricate moving parts to avoid jamming.
Go through the flooded area
Many people drive through flooded areas, which can lead to water entering the electrical system and causing damage. It is recommended to avoid driving through flooded areas, especially when the water level exceeds the safety level of the vehicle. If you must drive through, make sure to slow down and thoroughly inspect the vehicle after passing through the flooded area.
No car battery protection
The battery is the most important part of an electric vehicle and is very susceptible to water and humidity. However, many people do not pay attention to protecting the battery when driving in the rain. Vehicle owners need to use protective measures such as waterproof battery covers or install additional protection devices for the battery. After each trip in the rain, check and dry the battery to ensure no water has penetrated.
Use non-waterproof accessories
Using non-waterproof accessories such as lights, horns, or other electronic devices can lead to damage when exposed to rain. You should buy accessories that are water-resistant. If you are unsure about the water resistance of accessories, cover them with waterproof materials when using them.
Do not dry the car after driving in the rain
After riding in the rain, many people do not dry their cars but let them dry on their own. This can cause water and moisture to penetrate into the car's components, causing damage. Therefore, dry the car with a soft cloth, especially the electrical components and battery. Make sure the car is stored in a cool, dry place.
Using unsuitable tires
Worn or unsuitable tires for wet road conditions can easily cause loss of control and accidents.
Therefore, it is necessary to check the tires periodically and replace them when necessary. Choose tires with deep grooves and good grip to ensure safety when traveling in the rain.
Using an electric vehicle during the rainy season requires special attention and caution from the user. By avoiding common mistakes and taking protective measures, you can ensure that your electric vehicle operates properly and safely in all weather conditions.
