All About Electric Bike Accessories

Deciding which bike accessories are right for you first necessitates a look at where you’d like to spend your time in the saddle. If you’re planning on using your e-bike to commute around town and leave the car in the carriage when you need to run and get groceries, then your e-bike accessories of choice should trend more towards a bottle cage and rear rack. But, if you have grand visions of off-the-grid adventures, you’ll need to look a little deeper into finding electric bike accessories that are suited for being far away from the car.

 But, no matter which bike you choose the no-compromise accessories include bike tools in case you hit an unexpected snag, a bike helmet, a bike light, and a spare bike tire tube (be sure to double check sizing before you purchase).

 What accessories do I need for my electric commuter bike?

Riding an electric bike around town is an awesome way to beat the traffic, get a little exercise, and go green. Electric commuter and road bikes oftentimes have a water bottle cage mount built right into the bike frame so adding one is quick, easy, and ensures you always have H2O on hand. 

 Choosing a bike like the Sherpa Cargo E-Bike with a built-in cargo rack is great for tying down things you’d like to transport around town. Alternatively, pannier bags are a great way to haul groceries or other gear without worrying they’ll get wet.

 What accessories do I need for my electric mountain bike?

Ask almost any mountain biker and they’ll say that an upgraded seat post was an unexpected way to completely increase enjoyment on their bike. If you’re planning on sticking to relatively flat ground then take a deeper look at suspension seat posts—the unique parallelogram design allows for smooth small bump compliance. But, if you have aspirations of steep downhill descents, a good dropper post helps get your saddle out of the way so you can get into a much stabler and more balanced athletic position. Truth be told, around the QuietKat office, a good dropper post is our favorite accessory.

 How can I increase the power of my electric bike?

While it’s not recommended to hack your motor to increase speed and power of your electric bike, investing in a backup high-quality lithium ion battery pack can increase the distance you can travel and elongate the life of your battery.
