You’ve spent a good deal of cash on your electric bike already, so it’s totally natural that you’d want to save as much money as possible on extra gear, maybe even doing without it. But you don’t have to break the bank to get what you need.
Check out this list of 25 e-bike accessories under $25. This researched and carefully selected accessory list includes products for safety, comfort, and pleasure, all having great customer reviews.
We hope you love the products we’ve selected here! All of them were chosen by myself and my husband based on our research. experience, and detailed reviews from others.
1. Scratch-resistant e-bike mirror because e-biking should be fun and safe
Your e-biking experience will be fun and safer when you can see what’s behind you. This is a high-definition, “blast-resistant” mirror that will give you a clearer view of what’s coming from behind. Its anti-glare makes it easy to see on sunny days and the mirror is scratch-resistant so it’ll stay “like new” for years to come!
A rearview mirror is the first accessory I bought for my e-bike, with zero regrets.
Promising review: “I just put this on my RadRover eBike and it has become my favorite of several I have tried. Stiff enough to not be blurry over bump roads I ride on; plus stick out farther to my left for easier rearview glance than my previous favorite. I get a quick glance visual for when I will be riding further out into the road while passing garbage cans or bushes that will push me into the road. IMO: It is way safer to have a mirror on your bike. I ride a motorcycle too, and know mirrors and mirror glancing habits save lives! … like keeping the rubber side down.” – Safer Bike Rides

2. Handlebar mirrors with a sleek look
These cool-looking mirrors attach to your handlebars. They have a concave surface to make it easier to see what’s coming up behind you. The mirrors are fully adjustable and you can mount them at the perfect angle.
These were an excellent purchase for our folding e-bikes and easy to install too.
Promising review: “Absolutely fabulous! Easy to install – I had to slice off the end of my handlebar grip, but that’s not the mirror’s fault! Thought I could slice an “X” into the end of my handlebar grip, but no – still too much material in the way… So what! I sliced the end of the grip flush with the end of the handlebar; the mirror installed flush, covered the hole – it looks like it was always there! These are sold in pairs, but the wide-angle aspect of these mirrors are so perfect, I can see directly BEHIND me, with just ONE mirror on my left side! The OTHER mirror I put on my wife’s bike, left side – and SHE’S just as THRILLED as I am! We BOTH highly recommend this mirror!” – Charlie H.

3. Water-resistant bike pouch with velcro straps
This e-bike accessory pouch is perfect for when you don’t need larger pannier bags or don’t have a rear rack. It’s easy to install and with mounting straps.
One of the best things about this little bike bag is that it comes in four sizes, so it fits most e-bikes. You’ll want to consider how much room there is underneath your seat as well as how much interior cargo space you need. When in doubt, go bigger!
It’s also water-resistant (not waterproof, however) and easy to access with a big zippered opening. Plus, the reflective trim helps keep you safe!
Promising review: “Large capacity: flexible bag that can go up and down as my drop post moves. Long enough to fit Crank Brother mini pump, a mini tool, and mid-size phone.“ – T. Lee

4. Shock-absorbing cycling gloves to keep your hands happy
Because of their extra thick shock-absorbing “3-panel” palms, these gloves keep your hands comfortable without the e-bike rider sacrificing control. You can easily take these gloves off because they have pull tabs on the fingers.
If you ride hard and ride long-distance, this accessory is a must!
Promising review: “These gloves fit perfectly (my palm measures between 20cm -21cm) and I bought a large.
The gel pads feel really good on the handlebars of my scooter, lots of grip too.
The little “tabs” on the inside of the two middle fingers make it so much easier to pull the gloves off.
The graphics look kool too…I’m stoked… a great deal; quick shipping from amazon Prime…
UPDATE: after a week of wearing these gloves I have found out why they said “shock absorbing” because so after just a short week of riding with these on ( I ride every day) I have noticed something different when I use my computer to type…my fingers don’t have that tingly feeling and numbness like before…which I am sure came from the vibration of my hands being on the handlebars of my 2 motorcycles…where have these been all my life ?? I just threw out my 2 pairs of other riding gloves and they were in good physical shape…buying a 2nd pair of these for sure.” – Brian J.

5. Padded bike shorts for those long rides
These bike shorts are actually made for mountain biking (here are some padded bike shorts for women). But for those of us who ride our e-bikes long distances, these bike shorts are great! 3D padding is included in just the right place. Plus, the thickness will keep you comfy in your electric bike saddle while riding.
The 3D padding helps prevent ride-ups and you can wear them alone or under other cycling clothing.
Promising review: “Pretty great, inexpensive padded briefs.
I never thought I’d end up writing a review for what are essentially padded underwear, but here we are. I recently (within the past 3-4 months) started cycling for exercise. Initially, I had trouble getting used to the rather unforgiving seat on my new bike, so I replaced the seat with a more padded model. This worked for a while, but on longer rides (20 miles+) I noticed that the padding was too firm and actually caused some pretty major pain. As an experiment, I bought these and one other (cheaper) pair to see if they’d make a difference. Boy did they ever make a difference, and because I had another pair to compare them with, I found that these are vastly superior. They stay up and wear pretty much like a normal pair of boxer briefs. They’re so comfortable that I often forget that the padding is even there. Best of all, no more pain while riding. These things are great.” – Ryan C.

6. A two-in-one bike bag for holding stuff with a handy phone pocket
Having your mobile phone front and center (instead of in your pocket) while you’re riding is a huge plus. I use my GPS all the time and having an easy view of my iPhone provides easy access. Thus, this is one of the most important e-bike accessories under $25! Afterall, you pay hundreds of dollars for your phone.
Velcro straps on the bottom of the top bar grab it firmly, and a Velcro strap on the fork keeps it centered. The straps were too long and I had to cut them. As you don’t want them to unroll, leave them a little long so you can tuck them in.
Sometimes the bag shifts because of the weight, but not much, maybe a half-inch or so. No big deal.
Promising review: “.
“This is a great top tube bag! If you like a top tube bag to store this and that and want to see and touch your iPhone screen while you ride and keep your screen protected from water and bugs, maybe you ride in the rain sometimes like me…this is the bag you’re looking for.
It holds a nice amount of stuff besides your phone like a wallet or keys or a bike tube etc…” – Jason R.
Get it on Amazon $23.99
7. High-quality USB rechargeable bike lights
This is a small, but very bright LED bike light, to keep every path well-lit. Pick white for the front headlight or red for the rear taillight. Of our 25 e-bike accessories under $25, this is our top recommendation for safety.
Charging the lights is a simple 3-step process:
- Plug the micro USB cable into the Bike light’s micro USB port
- Connect the other end of the cable to an AC adapter (not included) or an active USB port on your computer
- When the front light is fully charged, the LED indicator will turn green and the rear light will turn orange.
Promising review: “Just ordered my third set of these [have a few bikes and I will not ride without lights]. The absolute best; and I’ve tried a few. All more expensive by the way. They’re rechargeable, fit most head tubes as well as handlebars and they give you extra straps. They are remarkably bright [can be seen from the side too] with three bulb patterns and the charge lasts quite a while. Lastly, they look cool ~ round chrome-like shape. Don’t even think about others…” – PJ Jenkins
Get it on Amazon $19.99
8. Classic bike bell (just one ring will get attention)
Bells are a must-have bike accessory for any e-biker riding on a path with people.
It has a loud warning bell. This aluminum bicycle ring bell is specially designed for mountain bikes but attaches easily to your e-bike. They’ll produce a crisp ringtone that’s easy to hear. And it comes in lots of colors!
Promising review: ” I ordered the gold/yellow one. It gives a very loud, crisp ring. It’s easy to use, unlike some other bells at this price that get stuck. For the price, it’s pretty heavy duty and I don’t think it’ll break easily. It should be simple to install. It looks like I just need to loosen the screw and slide it on. The plastic circle part (second picture) stretches pretty far In case the handlebars are too wide.” – Sarah

9. The Titanker Bike Chain Lock– You can wear it!
For your first, second, or third bike lock! I’ve always recommended a U-Lock or heavy chain lock (Amazon) to protect your electric bike. But, customers (and lots of them) rated this inexpensive chain lock with over 4.5 stars.
So, it’s an accessory that can be used as an additional lock to deter thieves (using 2 or more bike locks is always a good idea for your expensive e-bike). Who wants to break through two locks?! Let’s keep our fingers crossed!
It’s about 3 feet in length with 6mm thick heavy chain links. It’s made of heavy-duty steel for maximum strength and flexibility. As a bonus, the protective cloth sleeve will keep the chain clean and rust-free while avoiding ebike scratches.
Promising review: “Great lock for low-risk areas. The combination is set and cannot be changed. This is an economic but durable solution for situations when you want to lock your bike in a public place. The section of the cable is by no means thick enough to deter anyone who really wants your bike. I would not let my bike with this lock overnight in critical areas, but this lock is fantastic when you stroll downtown and stop for a coffee or lunch somewhere. It comes with a fixed combination, meaning you cannot set a more memorable one for yourself. Make sure you mark the four digits down somewhere (phone, maybe?) so you do not look like an idiot trying to steal your own bike!” – Team Leader 100

10. Super Bright 5 LED Headlight Set
This bright headlight mounts easily to the handlebars or seat posts of your e-bike or regular bike. It offers visibility of more than 1500 feet. In addition, there are five LEDs that light up the road for a distance of more than 40 feet, and the handlebar mount doesn’t require any tools.
It has a quick-release system for removing the headlight from its mount once it’s mounted. You can change the angle and remove the taillight with its easy quick-release clip. It’s got up to 80 hours of light! (batteries not included).
Promising review: “5.0 out of 5 stars Headlight Was Good, But The Customer Service Was Amazing!
I purchased the BV Light Set from Bikepak USA on a recent Lightning Deal. The price was very attractive, so my expectations were not that high. The package arrived a few days later. Installed the headlight on my wife’s bike…it fit well and was bright enough for nighttime riding. Tried the taillight……it didn’t work.
I figured it was another one of those “you get what you pay for” things, so I didn’t complain.
A couple of days later, I received an email from Bikepak USA, asking if I was satisfied with my purchase. Decided to reply and tell them the taillight didn’t work. The next day I received a reply, along with a tracking number for a replacement. To say I was impressed was an understatement!
Two days later the replacement product arrived. I opened the package to find a complete set of lights. Both worked perfectly.” – Racer Randy

11. Speaking of bright, how about this Tail light, (that’s ultra-bright) and USB Rechargeable!
This LED bike light is a must-have if you plan on cycling at night. Whether you’re riding on a busy road or a dark path, it’ll make you really visible in an environment of stoplights and neon signs.
Don’t avoid adding this essential accessory to your electric bike, even if you already have a headlight! Tip: Make sure your bike rack and pannier bags don’t block the light.
Promising review: “Love this thing!!!! Looks amazing on my bike. I was initially dismayed at the rubber clasp was really short and looked like it would not wrap around the bike stem. Took a lot of effort to stretch it but eventually, it barely clasped at the biggest loop. Once it was clasped the light could be tilted upwards or downwards. The light is super bright!!! Love the way it looks and it’s a small thin footprint.” – Mocosonino
Get it on Amazon: $17.99
12. Tail light with turn signals AND a Wireless Remote
Since we’re speaking of safety in this article, I really want to stress the importance of letting the cars, people and other riders around you know you’re around them!
Sending signals as you drive, like having an actual turn signal on your e-bike, is really a must-have. It’s suitable for all types of bicycles, such as e-mountain bikes, electric road bikes, fat tire e-bikes, hybrid e-bikes, etc. You can easily control the turn signals, emergency lights, and warning lights as you ride your bicycle.
The bicycle tail light kit combo can be attached to virtually any electric bike. Another plus… This light has a long battery life of up to 10 hours when flashing!
Promising review: “These are excellent, bright, signal lights. As the seller says, they can be paired with another remote by long-pressing the on/off switch. The red power indicator starts flashing until it is commanded by a remote. Then it synchronizes with that remote, and the power indicator stops flashing. Wonderfully simple! Pair both the front and back signal units with the same remote. Works great!” – T. Marshall
Get it on Amazon: $19.99
13. Loud bike alarm wireless vibration motion sensor
Bike alarms have become popular e-bike gadgets.. With up to 113 dB of loud alarm sound, this anti-theft bike alarm can help deter thieves, provide additional security, and give you peace of mind when your electric bike is parked outside.
The sensitivity can be adjusted from ‘gentle touch’ to pushing. The alarm makes a sound when you press the ringtone key too! Find your bike in the crowd fast and easy.
Promising review: “I was not sure what to expect for such a low price, but I was pleasantly surprised with it… I just bought my first electric bike, I paid $1500 for the thing, you can imagine I really want to protect it from thieves. Ebikes are a super hot item for thieves from what I am told.
It is super sensitive, just touch the bike and it goes off. I was able to hide it inside of a plastic box that holds my electric motor controller.
Between having this alarm, a disc brake lock, and a chain/lock set up I feel secure leaving it outside of the mall for a 2-hour movie at the theatre.
People are amazed when they see me activate the alarm… They have no idea how simple it really is… I love it, and will put one on my next bike too.” – Mike-n-Kady
Get it on Amazon: $16.99
14. Bicycle repair bag & tire pump
Considering the price, this is a nice tool kit. It doesn’t have the most pieces, and they’re not the best quality, but you’re also not forking over $75 for it. And this tool bag has the things you need most if you get stuck on the side of the road, like tire levers to fix flat tires.
Plus, you can put your e-bike keys and phone in it too!
Promising review: “Well, this was a pleasant surprise find. The case is well made, even the stitching is finished nicely though I think a 3rd strap on one of the ends would help to keep it from flopping on the frame while pedaling, just a thought. A small variety of tools, well.. they cover every need I would have on my bike, so unless you’ve got some crazy custom stuff going on, it’s likely this will cover your needs as well. The tools feel solid, the patches are glueless and the pump is nice and compact with an adapter. Overall, great value for the price, recommend!” – Toddles “OmniFox” D
Get it on Amazon: $24.95
15. Neck gaitor and face mask (or headwear)
I can’t even begin to describe the number of design choices you have with this helpful accessory! For men and women, use one as a face mask (not medical grade), neck wrap, or headband while riding your e-bike. Keep the dust and bugs out of your mouth and nose, and the cold, drying wind or hot sun off your face and neck.
Because these scarves are made of soft microfiber, they’re comfortable, breathable, and stretchable. While they will give you some warmth in cool weather, they’re not made for really cold weather!
Promising review: “Love these for face covering requirements and being out and about. Lightweight, stretchy, and breathable & has other uses like a headband or scarf. They will be even better for when the weather cools down a bit.” – Nadine B.
Get it on Amazon: $14.90
16. Dual BV Bicycle Panniers for your rear bike rack
I bought these for my husband’s Rad Power Bike so he could tote around our bike tools, water, jackets, and some snacks for full-day rides. What’s great about them is that there are two bags, one for each side of your bike rack.
There are four separate sections that make it easy to organize your belongings. And the price is unbelievable for this much cargo space! Most panniers cost over twice as much and you only get a bag for one side.
I was even surprised when we rode in the dark and noticed the reflective trim all the way around the bags. My thoughts… by far the most useful accessory for an e-bike rider!
Promising review: “I just got an E-bike and these panniers are the perfect addition to the bike–they fit well on my rear rack, the tapered design prevents your legs from bumping the bag while pedaling. Very roomy and seem to be very water resistant” – Semake
Get it on Amazon: $23.98 (Check Amazon prices for changes)
17. Skull Cap Helmet Liner Winter Hats Fleece Beanie Ear
It’s a long-standing problem when cycling in the winter – most cycle helmets have various holes and vents to stop the e-bike rider from wilting in the summer. But when winter rolls around, those same holes let in a deathly chill. If you’ve ever tried to put a beanie hat or a headscarf under your helmet, you know how bulky that can feel.
This cap is an extra layer under bicycling helmets. The cap is thin enough to fit under most bike helmets.
Promising review: “Just completed a 2-day cyclocross race weekend with temps just above freezing. This cap was great. It fit my head very snuggly (I have a large head) and never felt like it would come loose, even without a helmet on top. The ear flaps kept my ears from getting cold, without blocking out too much sound, but you can easily fold them up if you don’t need them covered. There is a ponytail opening at the back if you have long hair, which I don’t, but still found it helpful to see where the “back” of the cap was without staring at it for too long.” – Greg C
Get it on Amazon: $12.99
18. Women’s Skull Cap with a Ponytail Hole
Wear this thermal women’s winter hat and let your pony loose!
NO MORE NUMB EARS IN WINTER! Running or cycling in winter can be a pain. You’d better grab a comfy, soft, windproof women’s skull cap to keep your head and ears warm.
This cap is made of water-resistant and durable polyester and spandex fabric. It has thickened thermal fleece inside to keep you warm and protected. Plus, it has a really nice size ponytail opening! Fits head sizes 20″-24″.
Hint: This makes a nice e-bike accessory gift for a woman e-bike rider.
Promising review: “This is my first skull cap, and I love it! I didn’t use to like biking in cold weather, but with the right equipment, it’s great to get outdoors and get some exercise! The cap is warm and comfortable, completely covering my ears which is key as I tend to get earaches while biking in cold or windy weather. It fits well under my helmet, it’s not too tight but snug enough to not let the wind in. I think it would also work well under a snowmobile helmet although I haven’t tried that yet (no snow yet, luckily!) Actually, it would be a great winter cap to use for any reason, especially if active.” – Luanne I.

19. LED bike wheel lights with batteries included
You’re going to be cool! Be the center of attention and get compliments everywhere you go, especially at bike events. Each box is for 1 wheel so you can mix or match colors. Get ready to ride in style! Front and back lights leave you vulnerable from the sides.
But you’ll be seen from all directions with these wheel lights! This is also a perfect gift for an e-bike rider who is all about having fun!
Promising review: ” Takes about 5-10 minutes to install. We have only had them on for 1 day but they look awesome; very bright and seem to be good quality. Great idea for safety while riding too!” – Justin S.
Get it on Amazon: $13.99
20. Double Cylinder Foot Pump
If you’ve used a regular hand pump to pump up your e-bike’s fat tires in the past, you know how tiring (pun intended) it can get. Try this foot pump instead.
It has a large, non-slip pedal with four non-slip bottom rubber pads that make the frame stable. And because it lays flat, it’s always ready to use!
Promising review: “Wow…this thing is heavy duty. So many of these foot pumps are lightweight and bend too easily, but this thing is heavy and tough. Not often do I get an item that I am this impressed with. The gauge is very solid and a nice large size…easy to read. I used the pump to inflate a soccer ball and while most of these pumps with a built-in gauge aren’t at all accurate in the low range, this one worked perfectly and registered even at just a few psi.
The design of the “foot peddle” is super nice in that I could use it without a shoe on and it was very comfortable. … I certainly recommend this one.” – Dman7
Get it on Amazon: $17.99
21. Waterproof Cycling Shoe Covers
No matter what the weather throws at you, you can be assured that the shoe covers will keep your feet warm and protected so that you can continue your riding adventure. It uses waterproof high elastic PU material fabric and has wind and rain protection functions.
This is a way better option than riding long distances with cold, wet feet! Works for most shoe sizes.
Promising review: “A size L fits nicely over my size 44 road shoes. Though the material is thin, they held up very well this winter and they are totally windproof. With a pair of wool socks under my road shoes and another pair of wool sock tips over the top, I was fine with these covers on a one-hour ride in 28 F. 35-50 F and the wool socks under the shoes are enough.” – RScott
Get it on Amazon: $17.99
22. Waterproof outdoor bicycle covers
This bike cover is designed to keep your electric bike safe and sound. The durable design gives you protection against rain, wind, snow, dust, and whatever else mother nature may throw at you. A helpful buckle at the bottom stabilizes the cover, keeping it secure even on windy days. It’s easy to pack up and transport with you, as well!
However, if you’re going to be storing your e-bike for a while, make sure to remove the battery first to protect its battery life!
Promising review: “I read quite a few positive reviews on this item before I purchased it but many of them were written by people who received this item free. However, I paid full price for this bike cover and think it is one of the best $15 purchases I could make... can’t believe you can get such a nice cover for so little money. I bought a new bicycle while we were spending the winter in South Texas and I wanted something to keep the dust and rain off. This cover fit the bill perfectly. It gets very windy where we were and I was afraid the cover wouldn’t hold up but it did. Also, the black top part makes it easy to see exactly how to put the cover on. Thank you for offering such a nice cover at such a reasonable price.” – Sandeelee

23. An anti-dust high elastic bicycle wheel bag
With this cover, you’ll be able to completely cover your two electric bike wheels and protect them, as well as the area around them, from dirt marks, dust, and rust.
It’s perfect for storing e-bikes indoors or for transporting them on trains or airplanes.
Promising review: “It came in on time. Great quality material. Fits perfectly on the cruiser-style bike as well as the mountain bike (I purchased 2). Having these makes it easy to keep the bikes inside the house without the hassle of the dirt. They are easily machine washable also! Great product!” – Courtney

24. Hydration backpack for those long rides
This 2L BPA-free bladder keeps you hydrated during long rides and it’s easy to drink from. The insulation layer also keeps the water fairly cool. And bonus: The front pocket can hold wallets, keys, phones, small tools, etc.
This is a great alternative to using pannier bags on a bike rack… and it’s the perfect gift for an e-bike rider who doesn’t have a bike rack!
Promising review: “I have been very happy with this hydration pack. It is lightweight and comfortable. I used it while hiking on vacation in Utah (desert area and very dry) and it was perfect. If you fill the bladder early and put it in the freezer for an hour or so before setting it out, the water will stay cold for many hours.
There is enough extra space to pack some snacks and the lacing on the outside is perfect for securing a jacket or extra clothing. The price was definitely great for what I got.
The bladder and hose are rather “plastic” tasting. I just cleaned it first very well before using it, letting it soak about 15 min with light bleach water first. Then followed that with baking soda water. Then I made sure to rinse the bladder and hose out very well.” – Brenna25

25. Last fun and helpful e-bike accessory under $25, the Pellking Mobile Phone Chest Mount
You can have your own action camera when riding your e-bike! This harness and phone mount fits my iPhone as well as any other smartphone (as long as it’s not in a thick case). Once the phone is secure, you can tilt it as needed and switch the view from vertical to horizontal.
Recording video as you ride is fun and easy. Plus, since your phone is secured, you don’t need to use any other bag or pocket to carry it!
Promising review: “This is the only chest strap phone mount I could find for under $20 that lets you turn the phone vertical for recording YouTube shorts, Instagram reels, etc. Not sure why no one else is keeping up with the times, but in 2022, there should be more of them. The strap is adjustable and very stretchy and it holds my phone for recording nicely, as long as I’m on a smooth road. Off-road, it’s a little bumpy! – Lisa from E-Biking Today 🙂
