Winter gear: ice, cold water and cold-weather riding

Chicago winters are hard on riders, batteries and boats. Here's the gear that helps, plus a few habits that keep an e-bike battery healthy until spring.

Ice and cold-water safety

Cold-weather riding

Off-season boat upgrades

Winter battery care

  • Bring the battery inside. Most e-bike makers advise charging only at room temperature, never below freezing.
  • For storage longer than a few weeks, leave the battery partly charged rather than full or empty, and top it up every month or so. Check your manual for the exact range your manufacturer recommends.
  • Riding in the cold shortens range. Plan shorter trips and keep the battery warm before you ride.
