How important is e-bike folding bike accessories?

E-bikes have become increasingly popular in recent years and can be seen more and more often on the streets of Germany every day. Whether in big cities, in nature or in the mountains. With an e-bike there is hardly any terrain that you cannot explore.

E-bike folding bikes are particularly practical as they can be folded down to a fraction of their size in just a few seconds, making them easier to transport - whether in a car, bus or train.

But of course, a folding e-bike alone is not enough. There are now a lot of accessories for this popular means of transport. We present which folding e-bike accessories are recommended and what you shouldn't do without.

The most important e-bike folding bike accessories for more riding fun and safety

E-Bike Helmets

You probably know that you should wear a helmet when biking. But did you know that there are special helmets for e-bikers? A simple bicycle helmet would hardly provide sufficient protection against injuries, as you travel much faster on a motorized e-bike.

In the event of a fall, enormous forces act on your head, which can result in serious injuries. Inexperienced riders in particular often underestimate the speed and have to first deal with the braking distance of their e-bike. If you are also out and about in the hustle and bustle of the big city, accidents are unfortunately common.

Special e-bike helmets offer greater protection than normal bicycle helmets. Although there is no strict helmet requirement for normal e-bikes in Germany, insurance companies can reduce their benefits if the rider is not wearing a helmet in the event of an accident. Important: For S-Pedelecs that reach speeds of more than 25 km/h, a helmet is mandatory in all cases!

E-bike bike lock - so your bike always stays with you

Unfortunately, bicycle theft is no longer a rarity these days. You leave your bike alone for just a short time and it's gone. Especially with an e-bike, which is associated with comparatively high purchase costs, you should therefore make sure that the e-bike lock is sufficiently secure.

Only a high-quality e-bike bike lock can offer you this, such as an armored or chain lock as an e-bike bike lock. In any case, it is worth investing in good quality e-bike bike lock.

E-bike lighting - important for more visibility in traffic

The lighting on e-bikes has set completely new standards, even though the principle is relatively simple. Without energy there is no light and in terms of electricity the structure of e-bikes is different from that of a normal bicycle.

There are no dynamos on e-bikes, but instead headlights are installed that are directly connected to the bike's battery. This means that they are able to shine much brighter and thus ensure greater safety on the road.

Electric folding bike bike bag - plenty of storage space for easy transport

Especially if you are planning a longer tour with your folding e-bike, you may need to take a little more luggage with you. For this purpose, there are now practical folding bike bags that you can either attach directly to the bike or carry yourself to transport your loads.

For shopping or the way to work or university, the folding bike bike bag is an ideal solution so that you don't have to take the car or the bus, but still have everything you need with you. Of course, you can also use normal bike bags for your folding bike instead of a special folding bike bike bag.

E-Bike clothing - shirts, jackets and more for e-bikers

Many passionate e-bikers wonder whether special clothing is really necessary or whether normal cycling or sports clothing might be sufficient. We advise against this, because when you use your bike, everyday clothing is only comfortable for short distances.

On longer journeys, however, the wrong cuts quickly become uncomfortable, scratch or offer too little freedom of movement. Because you always make the same movements on a bike, chafing areas quickly become painful. In addition, everyday clothing does not usually offer optimal sweat removal - and this is very important when cycling.

But what about sportswear like jogging pants and functional shirts? That's a little better, because they reliably wick moisture away, are flexible and usually comfortable. But this outfit is still not ideal, because you usually do sports in a vertical position. On the e-bike, on the other hand, you adopt a bent posture.

Is normal clothing suitable for e-bikers?

If you're out and about in a normal T-shirt or tracksuit jacket, you can quickly start to feel cold because your back is exposed or your neck feels cold. This is where the advantage of special clothing for e-bikers becomes clear, as the shirts, jackets and sweaters are cut to suit the movements involved.

In addition, jackets for cyclists are often reinforced. This is where you get the most wind while riding, and the back is also ventilated. The comfort of special cycling trousers quickly becomes apparent when you compare them. There are no annoying inner seams in the crotch that could chafe uncomfortably or even come apart after a while. Integrated pads in the seat area also ensure that even longer tours are no problem for you.

Important accessories - the right saddle for the E-Bike folding bike

Basically, a saddle should offer you a lot of comfort first and foremost. Every e-biker prefers an individual saddle shape. While some prefer narrow, sporty versions, others are happiest with a completely normal saddle. Various saddles are also included as accessories for e-bike folding bikes - whether you need them is up to you.

The E-Bike folding bike - who are folding bikes suitable for?

An electrically powered folding bike is light, flexible and doesn't take up much space when you fold it up compactly. This offers you a lot of advantages in everyday life, because it doesn't matter whether you're in the car, on the bus or on the train. There's a place for your bike everywhere.

If, for example, you want to use your electric folding bike for part of your journey to work and then change to the train, you can simply ride the bike to the station, fold it up and then conveniently place it next to you on the train. You don't have to leave it outside in the office either, where it could be stolen. Instead, you can place it next to you to save space - and no one will be bothered by it.

E-bike folding bikes are suitable for commuters as well as for people with limited storage space for a bike at home. A folding bike is also ideal for camping holidays, as it can fit in any car - often even behind the back seat. With the high-quality models from myvélo, you can be sure that the modern electric folding bikes are in no way disadvantageous compared to normal folding bikes without a motor.

When is it worth buying a folding e-bike?

If you are thinking about buying a folding e-bike, the first question you should ask yourself is where and how you want to use it. It makes a difference whether you want to travel at high speed across the city or leisurely short trips to the supermarket.

Should the bike also be able to be used for a bike ride with family and friends? Do you want to use it for commuting and therefore carry it folded up every day? You should also consider that other family members could also use the foldable e-bike. It should therefore be suitable for everyone.

All of these aspects should be taken into account when deciding on a particular folding bike in order to select the right model. However, one thing is certain: at myvélo you will definitely find a product that you will be completely satisfied with and have a lot of fun with!

E-bike folding bike additional battery, E-bike replacement charger and more - what other equipment is important for an E-bike folding bike?

An e-bike folding bike is very well suited for use in the city. An additional e-bike folding bike battery is not necessarily required for e-bike folding bike accessories. For short distances, it is sufficient to purchase a model with an average battery capacity.

Especially in the city, an additional battery for an e-bike folding bike is often superfluous, as there are enough charging options for the e-bike anyway. For longer tours, however, an additional battery for an e-bike folding bike is highly recommended as an e-bike folding bike accessory so that you don't have to take a break to charge it on the way.

When do I need an e-bike replacement charger?

In an emergency, an e-bike replacement charger is still worthwhile if your charger stops working. Because if the motor suddenly stops on mountainous routes because the battery is empty and your charger no longer works, you shouldn't go without an e-bike replacement charger. You can find suitable e-bike folding bike accessories such as an e-bike replacement charger in our shop.

With the right accessories for your folding e-bike, you are perfectly equipped for every situation. If you want to transport important items or purchases, a bicycle bag for your e-bike is a good idea. For night rides, however, you should not do without efficient, bright lighting for road traffic. And safety is also important. Invest in a high-quality bicycle lock to protect your folding bike or pedelec from unauthorized access.

myvélo not only offers you high-quality e-bikes and folding bikes for the city and for tours in the great outdoors, but also a large selection of great extras that make riding your e-bike even more fun. We would be happy to advise you on our products!
