4. Adjust Riding for Road Conditions
Summer may bring increased pedestrian and bike traffic. On trails, be aware of dry and sandy terrain. Adjust speed and use the proper speed level on your e-bike models:

5. Sun Protection and Eye Care
UV exposure is higher in summer. Apply sunscreen, wear UV-protective sunglasses, and consider a light, long-sleeve jersey to protect arms from sunburn.
6. Safety Checks Before Every Ride
Perform routine checks before heading out:
- Brakes (SOLON hydraulic oil brake for S600/S700/S900)
- Tires (pressure and tread)
- Lights and reflectors
- Throttle and display function
