15
items Got sick of sitting in traffic and paying for parking every single day. I finally made the switch to commuting by e-bike and scooter, and it’s genuinely the best part of my morning now. Here is everything I actually use—from the rides themselves to t...
I take this on the train and ride it the last mile to my office. Folds up right under my desk so I don't have to lock it outside. Super fun to ride and way cheaper than taking Ubers every day.

Finally caved and bought this for my 5-mile commute. It cuts right through city traffic and the pedal assist means I don't show up to the office sweating. Battery easily lasts me all week.

Bought this one mostly for weekend trails. The fat tires handle dirt and gravel surprisingly well. It's a heavy bike, but the motor is so strong it does all the work for you anyway.

Bike theft is crazy in my city so I don't mess around. This lock is heavy but 100% worth the peace of mind. I lock the frame with the U-lock and loop the cable through the wheels.

Thought the turn signals on the helmet were a gimmick, but cars actually give me way more space at night now. It connects to a little remote on my handlebar. Tbh it looks pretty cool too.

Scooter tires seem to lose air so fast. This little pump fits right in my backpack, you set the PSI, and it stops exactly when it's full. Loud, but works perfectly every time.

Tried a few cheap ones that rattled, but this one clamps my phone down hard. Has survived some really bumpy roads and potholes without my phone moving an inch.

I absolutely hate wearing a sweaty backpack while riding. This bag clips directly onto the back rack and fits my laptop and lunch. Kept everything completely dry during a random rainstorm last week.
MOSISO 20L Waterproof Bike Panniers 2 Pack
Tucked this hidden under the seat. It goes off if someone even bumps the bike while it's locked outside. It is aggressively loud, which is exactly what I wanted.
Bike Alarms for Ebikes, 2Pcs Wireless Anti-Theft
The built-in bike light wasn't bright enough for dark streets. These strap on in two seconds and light up the whole block. I just charge them at my desk via USB.

Felt super unsafe not seeing cars coming up behind me. Clipped these to the handlebars and they don't vibrate too much. A simple upgrade but it makes a massive difference for city riding.
Semfri 1Pair Bike Biking Mirror Handlebar 360° Rotatable Flexible Handlebar Bike Rearview Mirrors for Mountain Road Bike Accessories
Total impulse buy but I use it constantly to run to the coffee shop. The remote is pretty intuitive to learn even if you haven't skated in years. Faster than walking!
MEEPO V5 Electric Skateboard with Remote, Top Speed Up to 29 Mph, 4 Speed Smooth Braking, Easy Carry Handle Design, Suitable for Adults & Teens
My city's potholes are brutal. Swapped my standard bike seat post for this suspension one and it takes away all the jarring bumps. My back is very thankful.

I need my morning iced coffee to survive the commute. Straps onto the scooter bars really tight and surprisingly hasn't spilled my drink yet, even over bumps.

E-bike chains get so dirty so fast because of the motor grease. This little scrubber tool makes cleaning it a 5-minute job without getting my hands covered in black sludge.
