E-bikes are taking the world by storm. With the global market for electric bikes valued at $57.5 billion in 2025 and projected to continue its growth, it seems like these battery-powered pedal pushers are everywhere you look, while bike lanes pop up on roads across the US to accommodate them. Some cyclists have even come to prefer e-bikes over cars for certain short trips.

That said, the explosive growth of e-bikes has prompted numerous safety concerns. Not only are you, as the e-bike rider, at risk — in much the same way you're at risk whenever you take a vehicle out on the road — but so is your bike. For example, a 2025 study led by researchers at the University of California, Davis, found that around 2.4 million bike thefts occur each year. As more e-bikes hit the road, they're bound to account for a larger share of those losses — but tech can help keep you and your ride safe.

Below are seven e-bike accessories that address various safety issues and that score high marks for convenience and quality. All seven can work in conjunction with each other (and a solid bike helmet) to keep you and your bike out of trouble. According to customer reviews, all of them just work, and customers praise them for being easy to install and functioning exactly as intended. 

The JOYROOM bike phone mount typically runs about $29.99 on Amazon, which puts it at the more expensive end of the scale for handlebar phone mounts. That said, it's an excellent product that's near universally praised in user reviews. Amazon users find its screw-on installation simple, noting that, in conjunction with the mount's 360-degree mobility, it's easy to adjust if it ever comes loose on the road. 

Unlike the dashboard adhesives or windshield suction cups used for car phone mounts, the handlebar clamps typical for bike phone mounts aren't always the most stable. But you may not have to worry about that with the JOYROOM. According to at least one Amazon reviewer, the mount is incredibly secure and holds up well even on rough gravel roads.

What's really unique about this phone mount, though, is the built-in sun visor. If you've ever tried to use a phone mount on a sunny day, you know that screen visibility is a real issue — some phones just don't get bright enough to compete with the midday sun. If you're relying on your phone for navigation, this can easily become a problem, causing you to miss a turn and wind up on a street with no bike lane. Some device owners even report that the visor can help prevent your phone from overheating during long rides.

While your e-bike may have come equipped with a basic rear reflector, if you often ride it on active roads, it may be time to upgrade. An electric light can increase nighttime visibility significantly, ensuring everyone else on the road knows exactly where you are at all times. 

This Vcwtty taillight takes things a step further, though, by effectively adding a turn signal to your e-bike. Bright amber lights on the rear will keep you and your bike well lit while also indicating to others where you're turning and when. Keeping other drivers aware of not only where you are, but also where you're going, will maximize your personal safety. Even better, the Vcwtty taillight makes an audible indicator sound and even projects your turn signals onto the ground behind your bike, which one Amazon reviewer says instills some peace of mind.

User reviews have also praised the easy installation of this taillight, noting that its brightness makes it suitable for daytime use. One cyclist especially likes the quick response time of the remote control (used to activate the light), ensuring that your signals go through right away.

Kryptonite is often considered among the best brands for bike and e-bike locks, and it's easy to see why. The company offers a variety of different options for keeping your bike secure, from super-strong U-locks to cut-resistant chains. When it comes to ease of use, though, it's hard to beat the Keeper 712 combo lock. Since it's secured with a combination instead of a key, you have one less thing to worry about carrying while you're out and about on your e-bike. Using a purely mechanical lock like this one also helps you avoid the common pitfalls and mistakes of high-tech smart locks.

User reviews have praised this lock for striking a good balance between sturdiness, portability, and ease of use. Others appreciate how easy it is to change the combination. And don't worry: Reviewers say the chain is long enough to wrap securely around even bulkier e-bikes. 

Amazon users also appreciate the Keeper 712's built-in nylon cover, which serves as both an anti-rust, weather-resistant coating and a protective layer for your bike's finish. At least one reviewer claims the lock was directly able to prevent their bike from getting stolen; the would-be bicycle thief attempted to cut through the chain, but was only able to rip the nylon coating and scratch the surface. 

Adding screw-on handlebar mirrors is an easy way to make your e-bike more secure. Just like a car's rearview mirror, these can help you get a good look at what's behind you without constantly turning your head. They're especially helpful when merging or turning, allowing you to react to oncoming traffic more quickly and accurately.

Many users say these Wittkop bike mirrors are a great choice, noting that they screw right onto your handlebars with the included Allen wrench. Amazon reviewers say that, besides being so easy to install, they're also very sturdy – they stay exactly where you want them even at high speeds and when you're traveling over rough roads. The adjustability of these Wittkop mirrors was also praised by reviewers, upholding the published specs that claim a 360-degree range of adjustment. That flexibility allows you to tweak the mirrors freely for the best possible view. 

If you're using an e-bike to transport things — whether it's food deliveries or your own shopping — you'll want to figure out some kind of storage and tote solution. Although rear-wheel racks are capable of carrying heavy loads, if it's versatility and ease of use you're after, you may want to go with a simple basket.

This Retrospec Apollo detachable bike basket will do the job in most cases. Amazon reviewers say it's easy to install, with no tools required, so you simply slip the padded hooks over your handlebars. What makes this basket especially handy, though, is how easy it is to slip off. You can detach the basket from your bike by simply pulling up on the handles, leaving the hooks in place for easy reattachment later.

This convenient setup allows you to take the basket into a store with you, fill it up as you would any shopping basket, then check out, head outside, and snap it back on. Reviewers praise it for being easy to remove when you need it, but also staying in place while you're riding. Another user notes that it gets one crucial detail right: Even when you're riding at high speed, the basket won't shake around too much, keeping delicate items safe inside.

If you plan on riding your e-bike at night, a good, high-powered LED light is non-negotiable because, even on well-lit city streets, visibility can be low at night. A bike light not only helps you see what's on the road ahead of you, but also signals your position to drivers, pedestrians, and other cyclists.

This Victoper bike light is a pretty perfect catch-all e-bike accessory that sells for just under $17 on Amazon. This gadget comes as a set that includes a white headlight, a red taillight, and chargers for both. These lights will do more than the bare minimum, and Amazon reviewers praise their long battery life, high brightness, and ease of installation. Bring a portable charger, and you'll be golden. Unsecured bike accessories like this one can easily be stolen, but since it's so easy to remove this one, you can take it indoors with you and keep it secure at all times if you prefer.

Several Amazon customers also mention that Victoper offers great customer service if anything goes wrong with this bike light. One user says the company was quick to replace the light for a faulty battery, while others had a similar experience after the power button became waterlogged. So, if you do pick up this bike light and anything doesn't work as intended, you may be able to get a replacement.

There's nothing more annoying than realizing, halfway through a lengthy e-bike ride, that your tires are low on air. Portable air compressors or tire inflators can solve this by ensuring you always have a way to top off your tire pressure, an important consideration for bikers. Low pressure makes it harder to turn, and, if your pressure is extremely low, there's even a chance your tires could slip right off the rim.

There are lots of portable tire inflators on the market that should work just fine with your e-bike, but the AstroAI L7 is a reliable option. Amazon reviewers appreciate how lightweight it is, making it easy to throw into your bag and forget about until the moment you need it. That said, the L7 doesn't sacrifice power for that portability, as it can pump up your tire fast — less than two minutes for a car tire.

Other reviewers have praised this product for one of its smarter features: the ability to set your desired tire pressure and have it stop automatically. Another user expressed great appreciation for the compressor's built-in LED light that makes it easy to see what you're doing if you have to fix a flat tire at night.

In choosing e-bike accessories that "just work," we limited our picks to products with excellent ratings on Amazon. Each of the above gadgets has an average rating of four stars (out of five) or more on the retailer's platform. We also looked for e-bike accessories that users praise (in product reviews) for simplicity of installation, ease of use, or overall reliability and longevity. 

We also factored in price where it was outstanding, highlighting the excellent value of low-priced items that users claimed were especially reliable. Higher prices didn't exclude items from this list, though, if they met the other criteria.

Each of the e-bike accessories highlighted above was also chosen with safety in mind. Even when protecting your bike and yourself wasn't the main, explicitly stated purpose of the accessory, we selected for brands and models that include additional safety features (the visored phone mount, for example). All these accessories are compatible with one another and can work in conjunction to increase visibility for yourself and others, prevent theft, keep your eyes on the road, and ensure you're prepared in case of an emergency.
