Tips for learning to ride an electric bike: Foot-dragging practice: Before riding, straighten the electric bike. After starting, keep both feet touching the ground and slide them along as support points. This enhances balance and provides stability in case of tipping, allowing timely correction of the bike's posture. Accelerating practice: Once stable with foot-dragging, quickly retract your feet onto the pedals. This movement should be swift because slower speeds make it harder to maintain force balance after placing your feet on the pedals. At higher speeds, the bike becomes more stable without wobbling, and you only need to steady the handlebars.
Learning to drive an electric car, I think the key is to first familiarize yourself with its operating interface, because the central control screen of an electric car is very intelligent, and accidentally pressing the wrong button might affect driving. When starting, don’t step on the accelerator and rush off immediately—electric cars have high torque and can easily skid, so it’s recommended to accelerate gradually. Another technique is to learn how to use the one-pedal mode, where releasing the pedal can slow the car down, which is more energy-efficient and smoother than traditional braking. However, you need to anticipate the distance in advance, otherwise sudden braking can damage the battery. For charging, develop a habit of plugging in at home or work to take advantage of off-peak electricity rates at night, and remember to check the charger’s compatibility to avoid malfunctions. Range management is crucial—before long trips, use navigation to calculate the route and charging station distribution, and don’t drain the battery. Tire pressure should also be checked regularly, as low pressure increases energy consumption. In short, drive more and practice more to get used to that quiet driving experience—you’ll love the smoothness and convenience of electric cars. Don’t forget to do annual maintenance to keep the battery healthy.
