Best Electric Bike Seats
These are among the most popular seats I see people purchase for their electric bikes. We have tested out two Cloud 9 seats and they are a brand I highly recommend.
Recommended Ebike Locks
There are so many bike locks on the market today. Generally speaking, sticking with a name brand is a good place to start. If you need any form of security I’d stay away from cable locks. Stick to u-locks, folding locks, or for even more security – chain locks. Below are some recommendations based on brands I have experience with.
A nice addition to any bike lock is an ebike alarm.

We recommend insulated Camelbak or Polar water bottles. They are high quality, affordable and easy to clean.
