Top 10 Must-Have E-MTB Accessories and Products for Every Electric Mountain Biker

If you’re lucky enough to ride an e-MTB, you already know: electric mountain bikes open up a whole new world of adventure. Steeper climbs, longer rides, faster descents — it’s all possible. But with more power and range comes a few extra gear needs.

We’ve put together a list of 12 essential e-MTB accessories and products that will help you ride smarter, safer, and more confidently, whether you’re tackling epic backcountry loops or your local trails.

1. E-MTB Specific Tyres

The first upgrade every e-MTB rider should consider: tires built to handle the extra speed, torque, and weight of an electric bike.

Top choices include:

  • Maxxis Assegai, Minion DHF, and Minion DHR II (E50 certified)

  • Pirelli Scorpion E-MTB M, S, and R models

  • Continental Kryptotal and Xynotal

  • Schwalbe Eddy Current with Addix Soft compound

Each offers reinforced casings, enhanced grip, and better durability for aggressive e-MTB riding.

2. Flat Protection Inserts (Tannus Armour)

Even with the best tires, e-MTBs are heavier — and flats happen faster.

Tannus Armour Inserts give you a 15mm protective layer inside your tire, dramatically reducing punctures and rim strikes.

3. Battery Powered Inflator

Why waste energy pumping when your bike already has a motor?

Mini battery-powered inflators are perfect for trail use — compact, efficient, and super easy.

Some good options include:

4. Bike Light

E-bikes let you go farther, which often means finishing rides later. A powerful bike light is essential for safety.

Consider options like:

5. Bike Tow Rope

This one’s a game changer for group rides.

A tow rope like the Bicycle Tow Rope lets you tow a friend, child, or tired rider up climbs, keeping the fun alive for everyone.

6. AMS E-bike Frame Guard

Your e-MTB is a serious investment — protect it!

Our AMS E-bike Frame Guard is specially shaped to protect larger frames, motors, and battery housings from rock strikes, scratches, and general wear.

Lightweight, durable, and easy to install.

7. Bell (Trail Bell)

e-MTBs are fast — and sometimes too silent.

A simple trail bell helps alert hikers and other riders without shouting. Some good options:

8. AMS Miami Blue Wax Chain Lube. (Coming Soon!)

We’re excited to launch our new AMS Miami Blue Wax Chain Lube, which also suits e-MTB drivetrains.

Expect:

  • Ultra-low friction

  • Exceptional longevity under high torque

  • Longer drivetrain duration 

Stay tuned — your drivetrain will thank you!

9. E-Bike Drivetrain Tool

Maintaining your e-bike’s drivetrain can be tricky — especially when it comes to cleaning behind the crankset, where mud and grime love to hide.

An e-bike drivetrain tool like this one lets you easily remove e-bike motor covers and cranks, giving you better access for cleaning and servicing.

Essential for keeping your motor system and drivetrain running smooth, extending the life of your investment.

10. Crankbrothers Handguards

Handguards aren’t just for motocross anymore.

Crankbrothers Handguards protect your hands and brake levers from bushes, trees, and trail debris — especially helpful when you’re riding faster and longer with motor-assist.

Handguards are cool again?
