E-bike accessories

E-bikes are heavier and faster than ordinary bikes, so the rack, lock and helmet matter more. We list a short set of each, quoting the maker's own rating or limit with its source and the date we last found it there. We have not tested any of them.

Hitch racks rated for e-bikes

Many e-bikes weigh more than an ordinary rack allows. These are the limits each rack maker states. Each bike's accessory page compares that bike's weight and tire width with them.

Locks

Sold Secure is a UK body that tests locks and grades them Bronze, Silver, Gold or Diamond. The rating below is each maker's own statement; we have not tested any lock.

Helmets

NTA 8776 is the Dutch helmet standard written for speed e-bikes, which are assisted up to 28 mph (45 km/h). The certification below is each maker's own statement; we have not tested any helmet.

Spare batteries

A spare battery is listed for a bike only where the bike maker's own listing names that bike. We found one for 17 of the 31 bikes we track; we don't list third-party batteries.
