Low temperatures can negatively affect both your vehicle's performance and your own. This lesson explains how cold weather reduces tire grip, making roads more slippery even when dry, and how tire pressures can drop, requiring regular checks. For electric vehicles like speed pedelecs, it details how cold temperatures can significantly reduce battery capacity and, therefore, your effective travel range. Planning for these effects is crucial for safe and reliable winter riding.
