Padded gloves take the buzz out of long rides and protect your palms in a fall; waterproof full-finger gloves keep your hands working on cold, wet commutes. Cycling glasses keep wind, grit and bugs out of your eyes at e-bike speeds.
Photochromic lenses, which darken in bright light and clear in shade, are a good one-pair choice if you ride at dawn or dusk.

Pro tips from the e-bike pros
- Try glasses on with your helmet: the arms and straps shouldn't fight.
- Clear or light lenses matter more than dark ones for winter commutes.
- Bright or reflective gloves make your hand signals easier to see.
