12 Days of Christmas Gift Ideas

A pump is a perfect gift for anyone who doesn’t already have one, or if their pump is old, falling apart or doesn’t have a pressure gauge. One of the number one reasons we see flat tires or tires needing to be replaced is riding with the tire pressure too low. A nice new pump is a perfect remedy to that! And a small, compact pump is perfect for taking with you on the trails in case you need a top up or get a flat while out riding.

Give the gift of a clean chain this Christmas. Chains should be cleaned annually in the fall or semi-annually in spring and fall depending on how much winter riding is done. Cleaning your chain is an easy and effective way to extend the life of your chain, keep your bike clean and running smoothly.

Day 4’s gift idea is highly under rated, and you almost certainly haven’t thought of it, but it would make a perfect Christmas gift! It’s Bike Shield Frame Protection, which is basically clear stickers that you adhere to your bike’s frame and protects it from marks and scratches, keeping the bike looking new for years and years.

For Day 5 we bring you the idea of a new bike seat. There are thousands of different seat options and styles because everyone has a different butt and different seats will feel different to different people. You may prefer a thicker, softer seat, or a thinner, firmer seat, maybe you need a wider seat, or a narrower one. There are seat with cut outs through the center for pressure relief for those that need it too. So if your e-bike lover’s (or you) been complaining of a sore butt maybe a new seat would be the perfect Christmas present!

Give the gift of a clean e-bike this Christmas! If your E-Bike Lover rides their e-bike then it needs to be washed, whether they ride all year round or just in the summer that bike is getting dirty and can use a wash. Washing your e-bike not only gets it clean and keeps it looking like new, but it also gives you an opportunity to get up close and personal with the bike and notice any potential small issues before they become a big one. Another very practical gift idea for the E-Bike Lover that seemingly has everything.

If your E-Bike Lover (or even yourself) are also dog lovers than they probably like taking their dog with them everywhere they possibly can, so why not on bike rides? Taking your dog with you on a bike ride has never been easier or safer than with the Doggo Trailer or Basil Buddy Basket, which product you choose will depend on the size of your furry friend, the Doggo Bike is also perfect if you have 2 or 3 small dogs. For Dog Loving, E-Bike Lovers accessories that combine their two passions sounds like a pretty perfect Christmas Gift Idea!

Although most e-bikes come with built in headlights, they aren’t always very bright, which isn’t great for this time of year when it gets dark so early. So it’s always handy to have a bright headlight for those occasions you find yourself in the dark. Being able to see at night, and also be seen, is hugely important for safety, one more gift idea to help keep your E-Bike Lover safe this Christmas.

More headlight options in store!

Safety has been heavily featured in this gift idea series because it is so important! Having reflective and highly visible gear, both day and night, is so key to being safe while riding an e-bike. Which is why we so highly recommend Proviz’s products, their fully reflective coats light up like a beacon of light in the night and the neon yellow of their Nightrider coats offers great daytime visibility. Making these products the gift idea for the e-bike rider needing some new, more visible gear.

If you’ve ever gotten a flat tire while out on a ride you’ll know there is nothing worse! Which is why Tannus Armor is Day 10’s gift idea, Tannus Armor is a foam insert that goes between the tire and tube to prevent punctures from small sharp objects such as thorns, staples and glass. Some sizes even have the ability to be ridden flat for a short time. The perfect Christmas present for any E-Bike Lover!

We saved our personal favourite till last! Smart helmets like from Sena and Lumos help elevate your riding experience to the next level. Whether you ride alone with a Lumos light up helmet for safety and the easy to use built in turn signals, or in a pair or group with Sena helmets to have a seamless conversation, you’ll wonder why you didn’t get one sooner! The Sena helmets are our particular favourite as we’ve used them ourselves for years and cannot recommend them enough! They are a perfect gift for couples and families who ride together.
