Which, of course, is absolutely fine, but if you’re an electric bike fan and want some more ideas, have a read of our list below.

Also, don't miss our guide to the best e-bikes you can get for Christmas 2022.

Halfords Advanced E-bike Helmet - £50

Using a thicker core layer than non e-bike helmets, this lid from Halfords meets the EU safety standard for speed pedalecs, which means you’ll have more protection in the event of a higher speed crash. It’s only available in one size, so if you don’t fit the mould, consider our other helmet option below.

Kask Sintesi Helmet - £90

Not technically an ‘e-bike’ helmet, but it’s so versatile it would be remiss of us to miss it off the list. It’s designed to be used on various types of bikes including urban, gravel and road, so you don’t need to be a fashion victim and buy multiple ones! It comes in 11 different colourways and two sizes so it fits most heads.

Cat Eye Bike Light Set - £28.99

Lots of urban e-bikes come with integrated lights nowadays, but for the darker nights in the city, these lights from Cat Eye provide another 100 lumens of visibility on the front and rear. They’re USB rechargeable as well, so keeping them topped up is easy.

One Less Car? cap - £16

If you want a stylish way to keep the sun (or let’s face it, rain) out of your eyes on your bike then what about this brilliant cap from One Less Car? Kudos if you are actually replacing a car journey with one on a bicycle while you wear it. It’s made from comfortable lightweight fabric that fits most heads and keeps things breathable so you don’t overheat, and it’s available in two colourways.

Tickets to the London Ebike Festival
