For many people the e-bike is the favourite vehicle in the household: the way to work, the weekend tour, the shopping run without looking for a parking space. If you want to give an e-bike rider something, you can choose between small accessories and things that really change the bike. Here are seven ideas, sorted from "nice" to "lasting".
1. One year of tracking and protection: the gift card for the GPS tracker
The one gift that rides along. A permanently fitted GPS tracker reports the position of the e-bike in real time, raises an alarm when the bike moves and calls in the recovery service when it matters. Until now the technology was the obstacle: the tracker has to match the drive system, and the person giving the gift rarely knows which one it is. The gift card for the GPS tracker solves that: you only pick e-bike or motorcycle, the recipient picks the variant that fits when redeeming it. The first year of tracking and protection is included, shipping too, and whoever prefers not to fit it themselves has it fitted by a dealer nearby.
2. The fitting appointment
If the tracker is already given, or if you know the bike, add the fitting: a specialist workshop, permanently installed, invisible from the outside. The dealer locator shows who fits it near you.
3. Ownership ID: the digital proof of ownership
Tiny markings with a code that ties the bike to its owner beyond doubt. For the police, and for the case where a bike turns up without papers. More about it on the Ownership ID page.
4. A battery extension for long winter breaks
If the e-bike stands in a cellar or garage for a while, the battery extension keeps the tracker awake even when the bike battery is removed. A small accessory with a large effect for everyone who does not ride in winter.
5. Good lights and a second lock
A classic that always fits: a bright lamp for the winter and a second lock for the road. A lock does not replace a tracker, and a tracker does not replace a lock. Together they are strong.
6. Service, tyres, brake pads
Unspectacular, but due every year: the workshop service. A voucher for it is always welcome among people who ride a lot.
7. The tour
Finally the immaterial one: a tour together in spring, planned and given. That the bike is still there by then is what idea number one takes care of.
What to think about when giving
- Drive system unknown? Then do not give hardware, give the gift card. The recipient picks the variant.
- Winter: a bike that stands still needs protection just as much as one that is ridden. The tracker reports movement before anyone notices it.
- Fitting: doing it yourself works, a dealer makes it invisible. Both are possible with the gift card.
Every question about the gift card is answered on the Give protection page. Which drive systems the tracker supports is listed in the compatibility overview.
