Is this your first time renting an eBike? If so, you may be wondering what accessories you need to make your life easier. Below, we have compiled a list of five must-have accessories for eBike rental customers that will help you enhance your riding experience.
- First Aid Kit
eBike rental customers must have a first aid kit. Even if you are a cautious rider, a first aid kit can save the day should you or a fellow rider sustain minor traumatic injuries from a fall or a collision.
Ensure that your first aid kit contains basics like:
- Painkillers
- Super Glue
- Alcohol Pads
- Gauze Dressings
- Elastic Adhesive Bandages
2. Bike Repair Kit
You should bring a bike repair kit whether you are out for the day or for a few minutes. When riding, you can break a chain, get a flat, or need to make an adjustment. So, ensure that your bike repair kit has:
- A Pump
- Chain Lube
- Tire Levers
- Spate Tubes
- Pedal Wrench
3. Spare Battery
As an eBike rental customer, you must ensure that your eBike is fully charged before you ride to your destination. If you will be riding for hours, ensure that you carry a spare battery or a portable power source for on-the-go charging.
If you are riding in low temperatures, store your battery in a warm place (like your backpack) because low temperatures can slash battery life by half.
4. Portable Speaker
Even though it is tempting to use your headphones while riding to listen to music, it is important to hear what is happening around you. A portable Bluetooth speaker is better than headphones or AirPods. Opt for a waterproof model if it starts to rain while riding.
5. Bike Lights
Even though most eBikes come with lights, it is always a good idea to buy more lights, especially if you will be riding in areas with poor lighting. Always use rear and front lights when riding to ensure that you can see what is ahead and be seen by pedestrians, motorists, and other riders.
6. Bike Rack
eBike rental customers that do not want to carry their gear on their backs should invest in bike racks. A bike rack is a great accessory because it easily attaches to the bike frame and distributes the weight so you can cruise through tough terrain without falling off.
Maximize Your eBike Experience
Hopefully, this list of must-have accessories for eBike rental customers has helped you discover accessories that will add to your enjoyment while riding and promote a safe and comfortable eBike riding experience.
