There are many benefits to using an e-bike, and having the right accessories and bicycle safety gear helps you make the most of those. In terms of the best bicycle accessories, bike lights come right after the bicycle helmet. While a helmet helps protect you in the case of an accident, bike lights help prevent accidents from happening.
Using bicycle lights is encouraged because they alert other vehicles of your presence and help avert accidents. Most areas require you use a white front bike light and a red or orange bicycle tail light (visible from 500 feet away) anytime you are riding at night, in low light or in inclement conditions like rain.
Many bicycle lights offer both steady and blinking modes, allowing you to choose based on visibility needs. Some areas also have specific regulations on when to use each setting, so it's important to check local laws before programming the lights on your bicycle or e-bike. Outfitting your other lightweight transportation vehicles, like electric scooters, is also a good idea.
While most bicycles and e-bikes come outfitted with basic reflectors at the front and rear, many require you to buy your own bike lights that you can attach to the bicycle yourself. When setting up these lights, ensure that they will not be blocked by any part of your vehicle, such as a gear rack, bicycle bags or carriers, a children’s bike seat or a front bicycle basket.
Thanks to their efficient use of energy, LED bicycle lights are among the best bicycle lights, offering both long bulb and battery life. Most bike lights, including LED bike lights, require batteries for power. However, there are lights that pull power from pedaling. These are often integrated into the original bicycle design, but you can find some sold separately.
When choosing a bike tail light and front light, you can also outfit your bike with additional visibility features, like reflectors on the wheel spokes for better side visibility. And, don’t forget to secure your convenient and eco-friendly ride with a durable bike lock.
