Ultimate List of EBike Accessories So you have yourself a new E-bike and you are at the stage where you would like to add accessories for ebike.There is a list of cool bike accessories that you can buy for yourself. This list will also give you great gift ideas if you have an E-bike rider or cyclist in your life. 1. Cycle Satiator Programmable Charger When you buy a new electric bike they all come with a basic charger. The charger that comes with the bike is battery specific and can only be used on a battery with matching amps and wattage specs. This is why if you have a few E-bikes it is a good idea to label each charger to match the bike it is to be used with. Using an improper charger on a battery will simply not charge or worse damage the battery. 2. Voltmeter A voltmeter is definitely a handy item when you have an electric bike. A voltmeter can help you isolate an electrical problem by reading the voltage or current in a number of key areas. 3. Dot Approved Helmet There are not that many rules when it comes to E-bikes. One rule that is a must is a Dot Approved Helmet. You may think you do not need a helmet but keep in mind you are going faster on an E-bike than a conventional bike and the chance for serious head injury is greater. 4. Saddlebags/Pannier Carrying your stuff with you when riding a bike has always been a challenge. Saddlebags also know as pannier bags are an excellent accessory to add to your bike. A saddlebag gives you a place to safely store your things. A small tool kit, waterproof clothing, a pair of gloves and locks to secure your bike when parking. The benefit of using saddle bags is the weight is distributed lower on the bike and this makes for better handling than being top-heavy. 5. Upgrade the Saddle If you do a lot of riding inevitably you will get a sore bum on many seats that come with most E-bikes on the market. This seems to be a common complaint with new E-bike owners and is often the most popular upgrade to a new E-bike that many riders make. There are high tech models available that ensure blood flow to all your vital places but a very popular seat that has been made in the same place in England for over 100 years, is the Brooks England B17 Bike Saddle. 6. Suspension Seat Post While I was doing research for this post one of the most popular suggestions for an accessory was a suspension seat post. This can add another degree of comfort for people with a sensitive derrière. A suspension seat post is just that: a seat post with suspension built-in. This suspension absorbs road bumps and makes for a smoother ride. 7. Upgrade the Pedals Depending on the type of riding you are doing, upgrading the peddles can be an easy and inexpensive upgrade. 8. Good quality locks A couple of good quality locks are a must if you have an E-bike. A combination of U-
lock and chain lock are necessary to safely secure your bike and its parts. A good quality U-lock is a must-have to lock up your bike. Abus 540 is a strong U-lock that comes highly recommended。 9. Small Portable Bluetooth Speaker Wearing headphones when cycling is not the best idea. Hearing and being aware of what is going on around you is an important part of staying safe on a bike. Earbuds or over the ear headphones can completely block out exterior sounds.
