✅ Cyrusher: 5‑Step Summer Ride Checklist
🔥 Summer Heat Impact Tips
1. Battery Discipline
- • Charge between 40%–80% to reduce stress in high temps
- • Unplug once full to prevent heat damage
- • Avoid full charge/discharge cycles during extreme heat
2. Heat Protection
- • Store your e‑bike in the shade or indoors (under 77°F preferred)
- • Don't leave it in direct sun—even short exposure hurts long‑term performance
3. Drivetrain & Chain Care
- • Clean + lube your chain weekly, or after dusty rides
- • Use a bike-specific degreaser and wipe off excess lube
- • Check for chain stretch—replace early to protect gears
4. Brake Maintenance
- • Inspect pads monthly; heat makes them wear faster
- • Clean rotors with isopropyl alcohol—no oils or solvents
- • Check for "spongy" braking—may need adjusting or bleeding
5. Tire Checks & PSI
- • Recheck PSI weekly—air expands in summer heat
- • Inspect tread and sidewalls for wear or cracks
- • Carry a patch kit and mini-pump on all hot-weather rides
