Winter is approaching, and for anyone who uses e-scooters or e-bikes in Sweden, that means adapting to cold and dark conditions. At Wheelyshop, we are committed to offering quality products that not only make your journey smoother, but also safer and more comfortable. Our range of winter accessories are tailored to protect you and your vehicle during the harsh winter months, whether you're commuting to work, school or just out for fun.
Why are winter accessories important for e-scooters and e-bikes?
For many, it may seem easiest to put away their electric scooter or electric bicycle during the winter. But the fact is that with the right equipment, these means of transport can be fully functional even in cold and snowy conditions. By equipping your electric bike or electric scooter with our winter accessories, you can:
- Improve grip on slippery surfaces and thus reduce the risk of accidents
- Maintain comfort by keeping hands, batteries and other sensitive components protected from cold and wetness
- Improve visibility so you can be seen better in dark and foggy winter mornings or evenings
Read on to find out how each accessory in our range can help you stay safe and comfortable this winter.
1. Studded tires – The ultimate grip on icy roads
As temperatures drop and snow falls, road conditions change rapidly. Our solution? Studded tires. These specially designed tires have small metal studs built into the tread, which provides significantly better grip than regular tires, especially on icy and snowy surfaces. The advantages of studded tires are many:
- Increased grip on ice : The studs grip the surface and minimize the risk of slipping, which is especially important in urban environments where roads may be poorly maintained.
- Longer durability : Our studded tires are durable and designed to last all winter, even in harsh conditions.
Tip : Remember to install the studded tires before the temperature drops properly. It makes the transition to winter driving much smoother.
2. Powerful headlights – See and be seen even on dark winter days
The winter months offer long periods of darkness, which makes good lighting an absolute must for safe driving. Our powerful headlights are designed to give you the visibility you need, even in the darkest conditions. Here are some of the benefits:
- Improved visibility : Our headlights are powerful enough to illuminate the road ahead, making it easier to spot obstacles on the road.
- Increased safety : With stronger lighting, you also become more visible to other road users, which reduces the risk of accidents.
- Battery-friendly technology : Our headlights are also energy efficient and do not noticeably affect the performance of the battery, which is especially important for longer drives.
Extra tip : Feel free to complete with a reflective vest and reflective tape to further increase your visibility in traffic.
3. Battery protection – For longer durability and better performance
Cold temperatures can negatively affect battery performance, which in turn can lead to shorter driving distances and increased charging frequency. A battery protector is a simple solution to keep the battery isolated and protected from cold and moisture. The advantages of using battery protection are:
- Extended battery life : By keeping the battery warm and dry, it is protected from damage that can occur in humid and cold environments.
- Increased efficiency : A battery protector reduces energy losses and helps you get the most out of each charge.
Tip for winter : Charge the battery indoors and avoid leaving it outside overnight.
4. Gloves – Comfort and protection for your hands
For those of you who regularly drive electric scooters or electric bicycles, gloves are an indispensable accessory during the winter. Cold hands negatively affect your driving and can cause you to lose feeling in your fingers, increasing the risk of losing your grip on the handlebars. Our specially designed gloves offer:
- High insulation : Our gloves are warm yet flexible, so you can maintain full control of the handlebars.
- Water-resistant material : They are made of a durable, water-resistant material that protects against both rain and snow.
- Extra grip : Our gloves have an extra grip surface that gives you secure control, even in wet conditions.
Note : Don't forget to choose the right size gloves to ensure the best fit and comfort.
5. Rain cover – Stay dry in all weathers
In Sweden, winter is not only cold, it is often also wet. Rain covers are a must to protect both yourself and your e-scooter or e-bike from getting wet. Our rain covers are designed to cover all important parts of the vehicle and keep you dry throughout the journey. Here are some benefits of using rain covers:
- Complete waterproofing : Our rain cover is made of durable and waterproof material that will keep you and your electric scooter or e-bike dry.
- Easy to pack and carry : It is easy to fold and takes up minimal space, so you can have it with you when you need it.
- Protection for electronics and battery : By covering sensitive parts, such as electronics and battery, you reduce the risk of damage and extend the life of the vehicle.
Pro tip : Use a rain cover also over the seat and handles to avoid having to wipe them before use.
Safety tips for winter:
In addition to using the right accessories, it is important to take into account some basic safety tips when riding an electric scooter or e-bike in the winter:
- Adjust your speed to the conditions – Icy roads require slower speeds to reduce the risk of accidents.
- Plan your route – Avoid steep slopes and poorly maintained roads during winter.
- Check the battery level regularly - The cold affects the capacity of the battery, so plan for shorter driving distances than usual.
