Since making the switch, I\u2019ve tested several accessories to improve the riding experience, livability, and practicality of these bikes \u2013 many upgrades which I now can\u2019t imagine living without. I\u2019ve compiled a list of some of my favorite accessories below. They\u2019re products you can surprise someone who values practical gifts, or items you can use to upgrade your own ride.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that everything on this list is a product I\u2019ve actually tested and genuinely enjoy using. So while there may be comparable or cheaper options in each idea category \u2014 do your own research \u2014 each product on this list is something I\u2019m willing to put my stamp of <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roval on after real-world use.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.net\/embed\/iframe\/ls0o33cgd0?videoFoam=true&amp;autoPlay=true\" title=\"\" allowtransparency=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"wistia_embed\" name=\"wistia_embed\" allowfullscreen=\"\" msallowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Also keep in mind that while all of these products work with regular bikes too, I\u2019m coming from the perspective of someone who owns an ebike, so I\u2019m not as concerned about weight or aerodynamics. And though some of the items may be pricey, the sticker shock of, say, a $250 lock, is smaller relative to most ebikes compared to a cheap regular bike.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make_the_ride_safer_and_brighter_Lumos_Ultra_helmet\"><\/span>Make the ride safer and brighter: <strong>Lumos Ultra helmet<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Before I began making my way around NYC on ebikes, I was an occasional driver. As a driver, I was frequently annoyed by cyclists making sudden turns without signaling their intentions.<\/p>\n<p>As a cyclist, I\u2019ve noticed something of a reverse problem: many drivers ignore or don\u2019t understand hand signals. They seem to only speak the language of flashing lights. Meanwhile, it can sometimes feel a little precarious to give a hand signal \u2014 say, when my bike is loaded up with cargo and I need to avoid a pothole or driver in front of me.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1374644 js-lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/11\/Lumos-Ultra-CharcoalBlack-1_1024x1024.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/11\/Lumos-Ultra-CharcoalBlack-1_1024x1024.png 1000w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/11\/Lumos-Ultra-CharcoalBlack-1_1024x1024-210x210.png 210w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/11\/Lumos-Ultra-CharcoalBlack-1_1024x1024-135x135.png 135w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/11\/Lumos-Ultra-CharcoalBlack-1_1024x1024-96x96.png 96w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/11\/Lumos-Ultra-CharcoalBlack-1_1024x1024-270x270.png 270w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/11\/Lumos-Ultra-CharcoalBlack-1_1024x1024-796x796.png 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/11\/Lumos-Ultra-CharcoalBlack-1_1024x1024-192x192.png 192w\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1374644\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/11\/Lumos-Ultra-CharcoalBlack-1_1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/11\/Lumos-Ultra-CharcoalBlack-1_1024x1024.png 1000w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/11\/Lumos-Ultra-CharcoalBlack-1_1024x1024-210x210.png 210w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/11\/Lumos-Ultra-CharcoalBlack-1_1024x1024-135x135.png 135w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/11\/Lumos-Ultra-CharcoalBlack-1_1024x1024-96x96.png 96w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/11\/Lumos-Ultra-CharcoalBlack-1_1024x1024-270x270.png 270w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/11\/Lumos-Ultra-CharcoalBlack-1_1024x1024-796x796.png 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/11\/Lumos-Ultra-CharcoalBlack-1_1024x1024-192x192.png 192w\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>Enter the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/lumoshelmet.co\/products\/lumos-ultra\">Lumos Ultra<\/a> helmet. For the most part, it looks like a regular cyclist\u2019s helmet \u2014 until you turn the lights on. On the front is a bright white LED that aids visibility in both at night and during the day (especially with the flashing pattern set) while on the rear are red and orange LEDs that serve as a tail light and turn signals. The helmet can also be configured with MIPS for additional noggin protection, and it charges via good old USB-C.<\/p>\n<p>The Lumos Ultra starts at $120 and has genuinely helped me feel safer on the road. And if you want to stand out even more on the road, you could opt for the more premium <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/lumoshelmet.co\/collections\/helmet\/products\/lumos-street\">Lumos Street<\/a> ($160) or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/lumoshelmet.co\/collections\/helmet\/products\/lumos-matrix\">Matrix<\/a> ($250), which include a variety of lighting patterns, braking detection (the lights will flash when you brake), as well as turn signals that are visible from the front as well as the back.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make_the_ride_smoother_Redshift_Shockstop_Suspension_Seatpost_and_Stem\"><\/span>Make the ride smoother: Redshift Shockstop Suspension Seatpost and Stem<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While suspension isn\u2019t <em>needed<\/em> for most city ebikes, with the way some city streets are maintained, they can provide some welcome relief.

While many ebikes come with front suspension these days, those systems can often be overkill, adding unnecessary pounds and a mushy feeling to your ride.

The result is significant relief on the wrists, and in theory, this slight amount of suspension can help your bike go a hair faster by improving your front tire\u2019s contact with the ground without adding too much weight.

In my experience, the alarm also helps prevent tampering or theft of smaller accessories like my phone mount or saddle; in a year of using a SmartX lock, I\u2019ve never had anything stolen from my ebike (your mileage may vary, of course).<\/p>\n<p>Because the SmartX locks are wireless-only (they charge via USB-C, and a charge lasts for months), it also means the lock is immune to being picked. There\u2019s no keyhole to speak of, although there is an alternate Bordo model that uses a remote key instead of your phone. These locks are pricey, but add a peace of mind beyond most other bike locks. Besides, people say to spend 10% of your bike\u2019s value on security, and considering the price of many ebikes\u2026<\/p>\n<p>On a related note: consider bike insurance. Some ebikes are as expensive as a decent used car, and bike insurance adds a lot of peace of mind for not a lot of dollars. While many renters insurance companies won\u2019t secure ebikes due to the motor, most dedicated bike insurance companies will.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make_the_ride_smarter_Google_Pixel_Buds_A-Series\"><\/span>Make the ride smarter: Google Pixel Buds A-Series<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Google\u2019s Pixel Buds A-Series ($99) are already my favorite Bluetooth earbuds (my review here), but they especially stand out when riding my ebike for two simple reasons: they provide the best hands-free operation of any earbuds I\u2019ve tested, and they are surprisingly resistant to wind noise.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"js-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/Pixel-Buds-A-Series-3-of-4-1-1592x834.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/Pixel-Buds-A-Series-3-of-4-1-1592x834.jpg\" class=\"\" srcset=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Most earbuds require you to take your hands off the handlebars to press a tiny button, which is inconvenient when you\u2019re speeding down the road. Here in NY, you\u2019re only allowed to have an earbud in one ear while on the road. Many headphones offer subpar controls with just one earbud, as they split the controls among both units.<\/p>\n<p>A very small number headphones offer hotword (\u201cokay Google\u201d) detection to control the Assistant, but the ones I\u2019ve tested almost invariably begin to fail once I\u2019m going more than a few miles per hour due to wind noise. This includes the otherwise excellent Sony WF-1000XM4; it simply doesn\u2019t detect my voice when at speed.<\/p>\n<p>The Pixel Buds A-Series manage to still hear me most of the time even when cruising around at 25+ km\/h (15+ mph), allowing me to change volume, control playback, turn on navigation, ask questions about my whereabouts, or make a call using just my voice. They are also very responsive overall, reacting to my commands far faster than most other earbuds \u2014 whether through voice or touch.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make_the_ebike_into_a_cargo-hauling_machine_Burley_Travoy_and_other_trailers\"><\/span>Make the ebike into a cargo-hauling machine: Burley Travoy and other trailers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes you just need to stuff that won\u2019t fit on your rear rack or basket.
