For those who already own an e-bike, what do you actually use it for the most?

Is it mainly for:

• commuting to work
• grocery runs / errands
• weekend rides and exploring
• replacing short car trips
• school runs / carrying stuff
• just riding more because it’s fun

I’m always curious about how people use theirs in real life vs what they originally bought it for.

So if you had to pick one main use, what would it be — and has your e-bike actually changed how often you drive?

I’m curious what accessory people here actually consider a must-have for everyday e-bike riding.

Not talking about obvious basics like the bike itself — more the one extra thing you’ve found genuinely worth having, whether for commuting, comfort, safety, storage, security, or longer rides.

Could be something simple like:

• a really good lock
• phone mount
• pannier / rack bag
• mirror
• gloves
• better lights
• tyre pump / repair kit
• suspension seatpost
• helmet cam
• rain gear

If you had to recommend just one accessory to a new e-bike rider, what would it be and why?
