Tips for winter commuting

Hey everyone!

With the days getting shorter and the temps dropping, I'm already starting to think about my winter eBike commute. I ride my Class 1 eMTB about 8 miles each way, mostly on paved paths and some slightly hilly roads, and I'm determined to keep riding through the colder months. What are your absolute must-have tips for staying safe, warm, and keeping your eBike happy during winter commuting? Any specific gear recommendations or battery care advice for the cold?
