In the past six months e-bikes sales have boomed. The restrictions have seen many people turn to electric bikes as an alternative way to travel to work or move around town as safely as possible. Now, many have discovered the joy and flexibility e-bikes bring and plan to carry on using them in the autumn and winter as restrictions come back into play.
But how can riders best keep themselves safe during darker, wet, colder days where hazards such as leaves and snow can make the roads more dangerous? Adrien Roose, CEO and founder of Cowboy offers seven tips to ensure riders keep safe as the weather changes.
Use your head: Helmets are without question essential for safety on the road and in winter are more vital than ever. Unfortunately, many are still riding without any head protection – as shown in a study by Statista and YouGov. But there really is no excuse. There is a great range available including smart helmets which look stylish and offer great features such as integrated lighting, turn signals and bluetooth connections. These features not only offer rider convenience and style but also increase safety.
Stand out: Rain and early twilight can cause poor visibility amongst road users. In order to be seen clearly it’s essential to have functional lighting. Electric lights and reflectors for the rear and front as well as for the pedals and spokes are a must have. When selecting a bike, look for those that have thought of winter riding and use features such as flashing to indicate braking.
Maintain the brakes: Salt, dirt and moisture can damage the brake material. A quick check up before each ride to ensure the pads have a good grip as well as regular cleaning of the hydraulic disk brakes will keep riders safe in traffic. It’s important to note that brake pads and rims are marked to show the level of usage.
Keeping the chain smooth: Water as well as road dirt increases abrasion of the chain, which ultimately leads to squeaking and corrosion. So make sure you are regularly cleaning it with either warm water or a chain cleaner. Some e-bikes, such as the Cowboy, are equipped with a carbon belt drive that is maintenance-free for up to 30,000 kilometers.
Keep batteries away from the cold: At temperatures below 10 °C special care is required for the cells: If possible it is recommended to take them inside with you into your home or workplace. If you are not using your bike for a long period of time, the battery should be stored in a dry place between 10 °C – 20 °C and recharged once every 1-2 months to ensure a charging level of approx. 60-80% and to prevent it draining completely. Choose a bike with a removable battery like the Cowboy 3 to keep it protected without having to store the whole frame.
Improving traction: If you plan to ride your electric bike outdoors all autumn and winter, you should either mount special winter tires or slightly reduce the tire pressure for a better surface contact which will increase the traction. For a puncture free ride, tires with a high-performance protective layer are also useful. With new tires it is essential to pay attention to their size in combination with the mudguards. Our tires are designed to withstand all weather conditions and are puncture resistant making them ideal for any season.
Take advantage of the features: Software developments mean that it’s sophisticated enough to now help users keep as safe as possible. The App has a great array of features including the recently launched ‘Crash Detection’ which means that if you are involved in a crash then an emergency contact is notified of your location if you fail to respond to the app asking if you’re ok. This is a great feature to give both the rider and family peace of mind.
The Nokia 5310 express music was announced first back in August 2007 which was part of their music line up and had several really snazzy devices back then, the phone did have a better build quality then and was thinner than the current refresh model and was a popular slim candy bar phone that could knock out the tunes, there was also a set of speakers that came with some retail packages which I still have here today.

The Nextbase 622 GW is the latest on offer from the well known brand and we have covered just about all of their line up over the years, Once again I will say it, dashcams are a worthy investment so pick on up if you do not have one already it could save your someday and help out in a claim and also you would be often surprised what you capture on a dashcam.
The 622GW introduces a range of impressive image quality improvements to the Dash Cam sector, meaning you’re covered in all road conditions. Potholes may be the bane of your life, but ruined Dash Cam footage is a thing of the past thanks to world-first Digital Image Stabilisation in the 622GW. Normal vibrations and bumps in the road are smoothed out in this industry first. You also have super slow motion on board but not had the chance to use it yet but do watch my You Tube as I regularly upload videos there from incidents captured on my travels and you also have 4K image quality.
Additionally, Extreme Weather Mode keeps you covered thanks to inbuilt algorithms that provide the clearest image quality possible in all conditions.
Set up of the 622 GW is simple as with any dashcam from Nextbase and all the contents are provided with mounts pads and tools you will see all this in the video below as well as footage and how the app works. Once connected with their own app you can visit all your files and get the telemetry details within the app giving you direct access on the fly although I had connection issues as with many dashcams with Wi-Fi a stable connection is hard to find at times but once connected you can download files save them to your phone or you can connect to your PC as any other peripheral and check the files there.
The touchscreen is responsive and a decent size too and allows you to navigate easily through the settings and you can also just touch the screen to capture and instant photo on the go.

This geocode system pinpoints the user’s precise location within 3 metres, allowing drivers to relay their location to emergency services — even if they have no data reception or Wi-Fi. The popular geocode system has never been used before in a Dash Cam but will offer a critical, failsafe option for drivers globally.
You also now have faster downloads and excellent quality with the 622GW and it offers one of if not the best dashcams on offer to date. Parking mode gives you extra piece of mind to capturing any incidents whilst you have been away from your vehicle

It was not so long ago when the possibilities of what virtual reality could do were only seen in science fiction movies. However, technological advancements now mean that it is now part and parcel of our daily lives in one way or another. Virtual reality continues changing the way we experience life, and yet it still holds a lot of potential for future growth. It is being used in several industries ranging from communication, transportation, medical, research, and education, among many others. Virtual reality is also finding its way into the online casino industry, where it promises to be a game-changer. Some of the popular casinos, such as Leovegas, are now using technology to provide an immersive and interactive gaming experience for players, which can almost be compared to playing in a brick and mortar casino establishment. Here are some of the ways virtual reality is transforming casino games.
How virtual reality works in casinos
Virtual reality in casinos is simply a 3D computer-generated environment that allows players to interact with their surroundings in a lifelike manner. One way casinos are taking advantage of virtual reality is through adopting Optical Character Recognition technology. This allows legit and popular casinos such as Leovegas to offer live casino games with live dealers. It is now possible to play real-time with dealers in games such as blackjack, roulette, and poker among others, by using a VR headset such as Oculus Rift, which brings the feel and experience of being in a traditional casino establishment.
Features available with virtual reality casinos
VR headsets allow users to walk through and explore the detailed and immersive gaming rooms. Users are also able to display their body and hand gestures as they enjoy realistic online slots. Players can also be able to pick their seats and enjoy authentic live gaming experience in a casino such as Leovegas, with the only thing missing being the tuxedo or cocktail dress present in brick and mortar establishments. While most gamblers will play at home on their own, virtual reality means they can chat with each other and the dealers, thus enhancing the casino experience. With virtual reality, the experience is further enhanced through the use of sounds as would be in a real casino to make it more lifelike.
Why VR is the future of casino gaming
Popular casinos understand the value of entertainment when it comes to betting and gambling. This is why you will find many popular casinos such as Leovegas offering attractive bonuses and promotions. Nonetheless, the future will see casinos competing with each on the experience they offer to their customers, with virtual reality expected to be a big driver. Virtual reality will also be an increase in the use of cryptocurrencies as a payment method. It will also see more integration of Artificial Intelligence, which will boost the security of players by monitoring their behaviour and ensuring they are safe. By monitoring their spending behaviour, AI can detect unusual activity and alert the casino and player to ensure they do not fall into the hands of hackers. Since different clients have different needs, integrating VR and AI will help casinos better at providing a higher level of customization for their customers. Casinos will also be able to provide more immersive games, and the growth potential also holds the promise for a better mobile casino gaming experience. As virtual reality continues to improve, so is the software and hardware, which makes it’s future even more attractive.
