10 tips for a memorable trail ride: Bicycle accessories and checks
1. Always Put Safety First with Your Helmet
A cycling helmet is an essential accessory for every ride. You must wear a helmet at all times to protect your head and brain when riding, whether you're navigating smooth city streets or rough trails.
Find one that gives you protection, a good fit, and enough airflow. The SVITCH helmet is awesome for daily commutes, but we recommend you go for some off-road helmets to ensure maximum safety. Select a cycling helmet that is both comfortable and up to safety standards at all times.
2. Air Pump: Be Ready for Anything
You should always have a small air foot pump on hand in case you experience a flat tyre. These compact pumps are easy to carry and allow you to inflate your tyres, keeping your ride on track quickly. If you're riding an SVITCH e-bike, the SVITCH Mini Air Foot Pump is a must-have, ensuring that you never get caught off guard with low tyre pressure on the go.
3. Saddle: Comfort for the Long Haul
Riding long distances without proper comfort can quickly become unpleasant. Before leaving for the trails, check on your bike's saddle. If it seems unfit, consider upgrading to a high-quality saddle, which will make all the difference in comfort and size.
Look for a saddle that offers ergonomic support and cushioning to reduce strain on your lower back and hips. SVITCH provides saddles that provide comfort and space to the rider, giving you another reason to switch to SVITCH. Check it out.
4. Rear Suspension: Smooth Rides on Rough Terrain
A rear suspension is a terrific support for your e-bike to experience good off-road excursions. It absorbs shocks and delivers a smoother, more comfortable ride. Check if your suspension works properly before leaving for trails.
SVITCH e-bikes have cool-looking Rear Suspension designed to tackle difficult terrain with ease, ensuring that every ride feels comfortable and controllable, no matter the conditions.
5. Bike Stand: Park with Convenience
When you're not riding, a reliable bike stand is an essential accessory. A sturdy stand will ensure that your bike stays upright when you're taking breaks or parking it, whether on flat ground or an uneven surface.
Make sure that the stand is bolted tight and is not broken. SVITCH provides a cool and sturdy stand for its bike.
6. Water Bottle Holder: Stay Hydrated on the Go
Staying hydrated is key to maintaining energy during your ride, and having easy access to your water bottle is a must. With SVITCH's reliable bottle holders, bike riders can focus on the ride, knowing their bottle will stay in place, even on bumpy trails, helping them stay refreshed and ready for any challenge.
7. Rear Carriage: Carry More with Ease
The backpack might not be enough to carry all your stuff. However, a sturdy rear carriage can be a great storage space to avoid jolts. The SVITCH Rear Carriage provides a reliable and convenient solution for carrying your essentials.
Designed for durability and stability, it ensures that your cargo stays secure, allowing you to ride comfortably without compromising balance or performance.
8. Fenders: Ride Clean, Stay Protected
When riding through muddy trails or wet roads, fenders are a must-have to keep you and your e-bike clean. They help prevent water, dirt, and debris from splashing onto you, ensuring a more comfortable and mess-free ride.
SVITCH e-bikes come equipped with durable and stylish fenders designed to offer maximum coverage and protection, so you can ride confidently in any weather without worrying about unwanted splashes.
9. Bike Phone Holder: give your phone a seat
Securing your phone to your handlebars can enhance your riding experience, whether you use it for navigation or music. You can keep your hands free and your mind on the road with a robust phone holder that SVITCH riders can choose from.
By allowing you to check directions or log your route easily, a bike phone holder is a great tool for staying on course when riding.
10. Chain Lock: Secure Your Ride with Confidence
Keeping your e-bike safe is just as important as enjoying the ride. A strong and reliable chain lock ensures that your e-bike stays protected wherever you park it. Designed for durability and maximum security, the SVITCH Chain Lock is compatible with every bicycle and provides peace of mind whenever you’re taking a break. With a tough build and easy-to-use design, it's the perfect companion to keep your ride safe from theft.
