Bicycle bling: All accessories you need for your new e-bike

    Giro, Bell, Smith, POC and KASK are all renowned brands with a wide range of shapes that still fit both ball and diminutive.

    Moreover, helmets are not “buy it for life” items – manufacturers recommend replacing them every four to five years because the foam and the adhesives break down with sun exposure. So there is a built -in upgrade cycle on that.

    Lights

    Many freight E-bikes are supplied with front and rear lights in advance in the electrical system. If you have chosen an acoustic bicycle, you want to get something with high lumen visibility of special bicycle lights (extra bicycle-nerd bonus points for a dynamo system). Front and rear lights can be as cheap as you need or as expensive as you want. Depending on the brands that your local bicycle shop carries, you will find attractive options from Bontraeger, Leyne and Knog. Just make sure that everything you buy is USB charger and has the right mounts that fit your bike.

    Moreover, you can go full quickly and the furious And safety. I have seen light masts on the back of longtails and I split my long John with LEDs pulsing to music. This is 82 percent for enjoying other cycling parents.

    The mobile toolkit of a minimalist

    You will inevitably blow a bond on the side of the road, or something will rattle loose while your child screams at you. With this in mind I always have an all-things set in a zip-top bag in my work bag. A version of this assembly lives on every bike that I own in its own steeple bag, but on my freight bike it is divided between the pockets of the horrible expensive but very well-thought-out Fahrer panel bags. This kit includes:

    A pocket pump

    Leyne is an ubiquitous name in bicycle accessories, and with good reason. I have had the previous version of their Pocket Drive Mini Pump for most of a decade, and it shows no sign of stopping. What distinguishes this pump is the retractable reversible tube that connects to your air valve, offering some necessary flexibility while you are angry a bond on the side of the road. I don't mess with CO2 buses because I have had too many inflators explode because of user error, and they are not recommended for tubeless systems that occur much more often.
