What should I bring on a longer ride?

Bring water, a phone holder, and make sure to conserve your bike battery level while riding. Rock Cut E-Bikes carries accessories including water bottles and phone mounts if you need them. Bikes will display battery life, but it’s a good note to be conservative with the battery while riding.
