Jackets are an important purchase for E-Bike riders. A jacket to keep you warm, dry & visible will be a great investment to keep you riding in all types of weather. Let’s consider your options.
Supporting you and your family to SMILE when you ride.
If you ride an E-Bike you are more likely to wear and use a bike jacket. E-Bikes create more air flow from the speeds they travel at. Keeping the front of your body protected from this air flow is important. It can be more challenging to get warm and stay warm on an E-Bike so you are more likely to set off riding with your jacket on rather than taking it with you in a bag. Thermal elements or added insulation will keep you warmer.
All bike jackets will be designed with a specific function or combination of functions in mind. Some jackets are really good options for E-Bike riders. Features that make jackets better for E-Bikes include
- thermal/insulating layers for warmth
- chest or front panels that block air flow
- waterproof or water resistant fabrics that will protect you from rain
- bright colours that help you to be seen when you travel at speed
