How to Avoid Heat Stroke While Cycling in Hot Weather?

During the scorching summer months, cycling can feel more pleasant compared to running or other non-water-based activities. As your speed increases, the airflow creates a cooling effect for cyclists. However, this is only superficial, as in reality, we sweat a lot during the ride. So how can we effectively stay cool in hot conditions?

First and foremost, you need to stay hydrated, but don't drink too much at once. Some people stop and gulp down half a bottle of water after cycling, which is not advisable. Of course, the color of your urine is a useful indicator; if your urine is too dark or in small amounts, it means you're dehydrated. The dangers of dehydration are obvious, as more blood is sent to the skin to release heat rather than being delivered to the muscles to supply oxygen and nutrients. The result is lower power output, higher heart and breathing rates, and a reduction in neurotransmitters in the brain, leading to fatigue.

Secondly, protect yourself from sunburn. Radiation from the sun is another factor that affects cycling. Lightly applying sunscreen does not provide a permanent barrier. If you're cycling for a long time in the sun, it's recommended to wear arm sleeves or a functional skin shirt in addition to sunscreen. Also, choose breathable cycling gear. What you wear in the summer matters; your helmet should have enough cooling vents, and a pair of cycling sunglasses will help filter out harmful UV rays.

Finally, you can opt for electric-assist cycling. This not only provides extra power support but also makes cycling easier without sacrificing fun, helping you avoid heat stroke more effectively.The LvBu KN Electric Assist Conversion Kit is specifically designed for cycling enthusiasts. As an intelligent electric assist system, it integrates the motor, battery, and other core components into the bicycle, providing cyclists with a more comfortable and effortless riding experience. 

The LvBu KN series kit includes the battery, motor, controller, charger, and installation tools, offering a one-stop solution for your needs. With careful design and optimization, the installation process has become exceptionally simple. Just replace the original bike wheel with the pre-installed motor wheel (which includes the rim, spokes, and tires), securely mount the water bottle holder on the frame, and place the battery in the holder to easily complete the conversion.

The LvBu bicycle kit features three core driving modes: pedal-powered, pedal-assist, and full electric. When you're feeling energetic, you can choose the pedal-powered mode to enjoy the pure joy of cycling. When facing a hill or feeling fatigued, effortlessly switch to pedal-assist mode to get the necessary power boost. And when you're completely exhausted, the full electric mode will allow you to continue with ease. Notably, in pedal-assist mode, a gentle pedal is all it takes to activate the motor and provide just the right amount of assistance, allowing you to stay passionate about cycling in the summer heat while reducing pedaling fatigue and preventing heat stroke.
In the blazing summer, choose an electric-assist conversion kit to continue cycling with ease and comfort!
