How to get my Urban Arrow Family ready for Winter?

 

Tips and tricks to survive if the temperature drops:

  • Always check if your brakes are functioning before riding. Models with Roller brakes are slightly more susceptible to frozen brakes because they operate on a cable- instead of a hydraulic oil-based system.
  • If the gear cables are frozen stuck, do not forcefully try to move them, it does more harm than good. Your best course of action is to leave the gears on a medium setting before frost sets in. If you left them in a heavier setting and temperatures drop severely overnight... Sorry, but then you might be stuck with this setting for as long as temperatures remain low. - When not riding, take out your battery and store it inside your house.
  • If you have the possibility to park the bike inside, please do so. Keep your Urban Arrow as dry as possible before and during freezing temperaturs.
  • If it's not possible to park inside, your Urban Arrow dealer can sell you an Urban Arrow bike parka as the next best thing
  • You can lower your saddle slightly for quicker response and more stability at standstill.
  • When you lower the tire pressure to 2-2.5 bar you will get more grip.
