Essential Safety Gear
Safety should always come first when you're out on your electric bike. With the right gear, you can stay visible and protected, especially during less-than-ideal riding conditions. From proper lighting to reliable helmets, these essentials will keep you safe on the road and significantly reduce the risk of accidents.
Helmets
No one should ride without a helmet. Not only is it illegal in all Australian states, but riding without proper head protection is incredibly dangerous and can lead to serious injuries, or even fatalities. That said, make sure to choose a helmet that complies with Australian safety standards.
We recommend: Thousand Helmet, Thousand Helmet Junior, Thousand Chapter MIPS Helmet
Lights
Being seen is crucial for safe riding. With an ultra-bright, waterproof light that’s easy to mount, you’ll be visible, no matter the time or weather.
We recommend: Gaciron Ultra-Bright Waterproof USB Light
Pump
Maintaining proper tyre pressure minimises the risk of flats and improves your bike's handling. With a portable pump on hand, you can easily inflate your tires whenever needed.
We recommend: Xiaomi 2 Air Pump 2024
Storage Solutions
Even if you’re only commuting a short distance, you'll likely need to bring a few things along. With the right storage options—like racks and bags—you can easily transport groceries, gear, or everyday essentials.
Racks
Racks are platforms attached to either the front or the rear of your electric bike. Built to either carry cargo or support other accessories like baskets, they are a simple solution for transporting items.
At Electric Kicks, we have the following front and rear racks available:
Aventon
- Aventon Abound Utility Rack

Bags
Bags are meant to be securely attached to specific areas of your electric bike. Available in various styles such as frame bags, panniers, and rack bags, it’s best to choose the option that fits your requirements and bike setup.
At Electric Kicks, we have bags for the following models:
Aventon
Fiido
C3Strom
Baskets
Unlike bags that usually zip close, baskets are often open at the top to provide easy access to your belongings. They are also ideal for carrying larger or bulkier items that may not fit inside electric bike bags.

Aventon
Fiido

Security and Protection
An electric bike is an investment, so you need to secure it against theft and unauthorised access. A good e-bike lock is your best bet, especially if you have to park your ride in public.
When choosing a lock for your bike, consider the following:
- Reliability: Look for locks made from heavy-duty material that’s difficult to break, like hardened steel.
- Size and Weight: At the same time, choose a lock that you can easily carry and transport.
- Ease of Use: Opt for a lock that’s simple to operate so you can secure your e-bike as quickly as possible.
- Brand Reputation: Finally, we advise selecting locks from trusted brands known for their quality and reliability.

Kid-Friendly Customisation
For families or riders with children, customisations—such as adding child seats and safety gear—will make your electric bike more kid-friendly. By creating a fun yet comfortable and secure ride, these accessories will help you meet your children's needs and create a more inclusive environment for everyone.
When it comes to family e-bikes, many of our customers trust the Aventon Abound. For this model, we recommend adding the Aventon Abound Handrail and the Aventon Abound Seatpad to accommodate young passengers.
Navigation and Communication
Actively handling your phone while riding is dangerous—and illegal—so always opt for hands-free solutions that allow you to access navigation apps or take important calls while you keep your focus on the road.
Phone Holder
A phone holder (or mount) provides a secure way to keep your device accessible while you ride. Often attached to the handlebars, a good phone holder must be sturdy, adjustable, and compatible with your phone size.
We recommend: Fiido C21/C22 Phone Holder, Segway Universal Phone Holder
Watch
Depending on the brand of their electric bikes, some users are afforded one more option aside from mounting their phones on their handlebars.
E-bike-compatible smart watches serve as a great hands-free solution for navigating and communicating. In addition, they often have other helpful features like ride tracking and health monitoring.
For Fiido electric bike users, we have the Fiido Mate Watch (compatible with the Fiido C11, Fiido Titan, Fiido C21, and Fiido C22).
Fun Extras
Finally, let’s have a look at some fun add-ons! While these accessories may not be necessary for every rider, they can be essential for specific groups—such as surfers or families with younger children who aren't quite ready to ride on their own yet.
Surfboard Rack
A surfboard rack is a must-have for any surfer who enjoys riding to the beach. Designed to securely hold your surfboard while you ride, a good surfboard rack must be sturdy, easy to install, and compatible with your bike's frame.
We recommend: eBike Surfboard Rack By Moved By Bikes
Kids Trailer
Meanwhile, for families with babies and toddlers who can’t balance on their own yet, a trailer is an excellent alternative solution. Unlike the previously mentioned accessories specifically suited for cargo e-bikes, a trailer can be attached to almost any type of bike.
Opt for one with UV-protected windows, 5-point harnesses, and reflectors to keep the little ones safe and secure.
We recommend: Burley Bee Kids Trailer (ideal for children 12 months old and above)
