Christmas gift for Ebiker

I have a new bike and want/need many things - locks, new helmet, reflective items (clothing, small flashing lights), some sort of bag for the rack and or frame/handlebar, bike tools, portable pump, bike alarm, mirror, warm gloves, etc. etc. I guess it depends on what type of rider - a newbie like me, or an old pro. I'm not always a fan of gift cards, but maybe one that is specific to an online shop or LBS that you like, gifted with a smaller item (or bottle of their favorite libation) would be appreciated since folks seem to be very particular about their gear. There seems to be no limit to ways one can spend money with this hobby. Happy Holidays!
 
How about a portable electric pump? I find it to be really handy and makes quick work of inflating before a ride. I don't have to manually inflate or plug in the 12v pump into my vehicle. And they're small and light enough to carry in a backpack or pannier if needed.

If you know someone who sews, have them make you a custom frame bag: this is kind of a big deal since most e-bike frames are weirdly proportioned and have batteries taking up parts of the triangle. You can get good materials to make the bag at Seattle Fabrics.

I like the frame bag much better than the usual handlebar or trunk bag or panniers. Diamond frame only, of course. When @Mr. Coffee mentioned them in the Accessories thread, I bought one immediately. Lots of room and out of my way.

There is a lot in this little video. And I hate to watch videos. Good find.
 
How much do you like them? A high capacity battery if you really love em.....or some lube if they are a jerk off :eek:
 
Its my kid and he already has pretty much everything covered as far as backpacks, repair kits, pumps, etc. Was looking for that special Ebiker gift...
 
Search for toolkit in the titles. I like this one:
electricbikereview.com

Show us what's in your toolkit

What do you carry along with you in your ebike toolkit?

Something most don't think of in time is pepperspray for instance. Or an Alarm.

We've got on of those already, pretty handy. It's in my wife's small toolkit for her folding electric travel wheelchair. I have considered getting a second for me.
