Accmor Classic Bike Bell
This is a really cute, classic bike bell. It’s also well rated for its functionality. We love bicycle bells.

SKS Bottle Holder and Bottle for Electric Bikes
A common problem with electric bikes is that there is no way to carry a water bottle. This is a serious problem because, contrary to popular belief, it’s possible to get a lot of exercise on an ebike – which means you need to have a lot of water. However, the frame configuration on most ebikes makes it hard to attach a standard water bottle holder.
We solved this problem with the SKS bottle holder system. This comprises an adapter to attach to your bike, plus the holder itself. These can be attached at various angles to almost anywhere on your bike. The system works best with the matching SKS bottle. You can see the entire system in this photo of my electric bike.
As you can see, I was able to mount the SKS bottle cage adapter to the broad stem of my bike, and then fit the bottle holder and bottle off to the side. There is literally no other place to carry a water bottle on that ebike. We had the same problem with Maggie’s electric bike, and solved it in the same way. Below you can see the bottle cage adapter (with the orange dot) and the black bottle holder.
The SKS Bottle Cage Adapter and Holder work best with the SKS bottle, which is a little broader than most water bottles.
