How many times do you check your motorbike before you go for a ride? Not only is it a legal requirement, but it could also save your life. Before any ride, you should go over a pre-ride checklist to ensure that your bike is safe to ride.

Body and Frame

First, walk a quick lap or two around your motorcycle and see if you notice anything that’s immediately and wrong.

Check the condition of the bike’s body and note if there’s anything that wasn’t there before.

Look for cracks in the frame, especially in joint welds and places where accessories are mounted. Ensure that things like footpegs are securely attached.

Brakes

Inspect your brake pads to see how much is left on both the front and rear brakes.

Start by examining your brake pads for signs of wear and tear.

Most brake pads have a wear groove on them. When the groove disappears, your brake pads need a change.

Make sure also that your pads are wearing in a relatively even pattern.

Wheels and Tires

First, check the pressure on your tires and make sure that they’re at the manufacturer’s recommended psi.

Then, take a look to see if the tread is starting to wear out.

Most tires have wear bars that appear when the tread is close to needing replacement, or you can use the “penny test.”

Also, check for uneven wear in your tires that can indicate misaligned wheels or other problems.

Handlebar Controls

First, rotate the handlebars and make sure that they have a full range of turning motion.

Next, check that the controls on your handlebars (like the throttle and clutch) are working and easy to operate.

If it’s been a while since you measured the play in your clutch lever, take its measurement and adjust it to make sure that you get the right level of clutch slack.

Fuel

Check fuel and hoses. Most bikes require premium gas.

Even though your ride may be able to run on regular fuel, you might notice poor performance and pinning sounds under acceleration or heavy loads.

Before riding, check for loose fuel supply hoses from the tank to the carburetors or injector fuel trains.

If there are signs of even a small leak, get it repaired immediately.

There has been a long road to two-wheeler technology. We have many choices, including electrical versions that have recently been launched. While it is known that non-carbon fuel is the potential course, the process is not yet entirely scalable. Many home-grown car makers betting on the electric scooter market, as well as the government's opportunity to rapidly follow up their designs. Electric bikes in Nepal are not very popular. 

The question of choosing an electric/petrol scooter is undoubtedly on your mind if you're dreaming of buying a new bike. Do you like safer, more ready-to-use technologies or should you hold to the choices that have been tested?

Performance

It is difficult to win against electric motorcycles if performance is what you want.  

While petrol motors take a longer time to spin up peak power and torque at high RPMs, motors achieve peak power and torque from 0 RPM. The power and torque in the entire RPM range continue to be constant.

You may say, If you look at the performance of a bike, electric bikes cannot go as fast as petrol bikes in terms of highest but do you really need a 480kmph bike right now?   Electric motorbikes can perform just as well as a petrol bike on a daily basis. This means that you can achieve the same efficiency with a gas bike with a much lighter and smaller electric motorcycle or a larger electric superbike and get pretty cool speed.

Comfort

They are not vibrating like petrol bikes so that your motorbike won't shake when you stop at a red light or when you are riding. You also do not have to care about burning on a hot exhaust header. Even for traffic riding and other city situations, e-motors are comfortable. You can enjoy the ride every three seconds instead of grabbing and going without any clutch or equipment to think about.

The manual gearbox retains several options for the electric motorcycle if you prefer to shift. There are choices for shifting gears in motorcycles from electric cruisers to sports motorcycles.   Electric bikes are quieter than a petrol motorcycle. They are not silent but quieter. 

Convenience

Electric motorbikes are simply more convenient. It’s like having a petrol pump in your garage. You charge up all night ride all day. Or you can charge up all day. We can’t really tell you when to charge your own motorbike. You'll like it more when you remember the long line at the petrol pump and you’re in a hurry. But charging is not just the most comfortable for electric bikes. Maintenance savings alone are immense. You would of course finally have to do with tyre replacements and brake pads, but these brakes last longer as electric bikes are regenerative.

So if you're the sort of rider who likes to take time on a bike rather than to turn a screw, you may as well have electric bikes.

Save money

You save money in the long term as you use an E-bike instead of a motor car. Petrol and diesel are expensive and sometimes price changes may have a real effect on your spending. For e-bikes, it is possible to purchase inexpensive batteries that can last 28-80 kilometers, depending on the assistance standard.

Are Electric Bikes the future?

Yes, they are! 

Time is going down on charging.   Electric bikes would become even more efficient, with battery costs falling (and petrol rates constantly rising).

But it's just getting hard to deal with petrol bikes at the end of the day. Imagine where we are going to be in a couple of years. There is a justification for everybody working on electric bikes, from Harley Davidson and Triumph to the Big Four Japanese motorcycle makers.
