Before the cold really sets in, take five minutes and check your wiring. Look for loose cables around the handlebars, frame, and rear rack — anything dangling can catch, rub, or snap once the winter wind picks up. A few fresh zip ties now saves you a roadside repair in January. After 13 years fixing e-bikes across Canada, I can tell you most "mystery" power cuts are just a cable worn through by vibration — don't let that be you.
