There are a wide range of accessories to consider when shopping for an e bike. Before buying accessories, you should check to see which ones come with your purchase. For example, many e-bikes come outfitted with fenders, lights and racks. If these do not come with your bike, should make sure that they will fit your bike before buying them.
The most common accessories that ebike riders get for their rides include:
Sidecars are not a common ebike accessory, but there are a few specialty manufacturers that produce them. Mad Dogs & English Men is known for creating some very beautiful ebikes with matching sidecars. Their sidecars are made to order and handcrafted in Europe. They are heirloom quality items, and can be bought separately and hooked up to your own bicycle, or purchased as a custom-matched bike and sidecar combo.
There are a number of kid seat attachments designed for bicycles, and these will also work on electric bikes. Depending on their size, the child seat may be placed above the top tube, between the captain and the cockpit. Other designs place the child behind rider, usually atop the rear rack. The most popular way to transport one or more children while riding an ebike is to place them in a suitable trailer, which attaches to the rear of the ebike.
Of course, the first consideration when riding with a child on your ebike is to ensure their safety. The child seat should be securely attached to the bike, and the youngster should wear an appropriately sized helmet.
Many ebikes come with lights, and these either have their own small batteries or are integrated into the bike’s battery. You can find bike lights at your local bicycle shop or online. When shopping for electric bike lights, make sure that the light will fit on your bike, and that it will provide sufficient illumination to protect you, especially during low-light conditions.
We believe that safety is very important, so when recommending bike accessories, we also suggest that the rider get a durable helmet, lights and reflectors, and mount a bell or horn on the handlebars. Other popular accessories include a flat tire repair kit, cleansers and lubricants for the drivetrain, a rear rack and pannier bags, and a bicycle computer for tracking your ride. There are also bike tool kits that will allow you to perform all the basic maintenance functions to keep your bike in good working order, including adjusting the gears and brakes, truing the wheels, and keeping the tires properly inflated.
When you get a new electric bike, there should be little need to get parts, and if something goes wrong, the first place you should check is with the manufacturer of the bike you purchased. While most ebike parts have standard specifications, you should make sure to only get parts that will fit your bike model.
