Ownership notes

Protect your new bike

Sort these three when it arrives and theft stops being a worry — a good lock keeps it safe, insurance covers you if the worst happens, and registration helps you get it back.

🔒 Lock — Foldylock Gold Elite

A super-flexible folding lock — easy to wrap around an e-bike frame and lock to almost anything. The mount doesn’t rattle, and the key slides in and out and locks smoothly (plenty of locks don’t — it saves a real headache). It’s also available as a pair that shares one lock kit and key, so if you’ve got two e-bikes you can lock both with the same key — genuinely convenient. Sold Secure Gold rated, so it keeps insurers happy.

🛡 Insurance — Bikmo

Specialist UK cycle & e-bike insurance covering theft, accidental damage and more — it’s what we use ourselves. Use our link for 5% off plus a free Komoot region.

🏷 Register — Bike Register

Log your frame number on the UK national database the day it arrives — it deters thieves and hugely improves the odds of recovery.

We genuinely use and rate these. The Bikmo link is a referral link — you get 5% off (and a free Komoot region), and it helps support the site at no extra cost to you.

Recommended gear

A few bits of kit we genuinely rate for getting the most out of an e-bike.

📱 Phone holder — Lamicall Bike Mount

A rock-solid handlebar mount with a quick-lock clamp — follow your route or track your ride and it won’t budge, even over rough ground.

🎒 Waterproof bag — VAUDE Aqua Back Pannier

Fully waterproof, secure and genuinely big — swallows a day’s kit and then some (we use ours to carry tennis rackets to sessions and back).

⛑ Helmet — Victgoal LED Helmet

Well-reviewed for actually doing its job — owners post crash photos where it took the hit and saved their head — plus a USB-rechargeable rear light for riding after dark.

🎧 Hands-free — Supertooth Roamee

Open-ear design so you still hear traffic clearly, with a windshield mic that keeps your voice clean at speed. This is a proper cycling comms headset, not just earphones — get two and they work like walkie-talkies, talking to each other up to 300m with no phone call needed, or pair one to your phone for calls and music. It fixes to your helmet with strong double-sided stick-on clips on each side, and the unit itself attaches to those clips with magnets — so it’s easy to pop off to charge and click straight back on. The sound is what you’d expect at this price — perfectly enjoyable for music on the move — and for the money you’re getting far more than a set of earphones.

Genuine picks — kit we’d actually buy. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases — at no extra cost to you.

🔓 Unlocking the speed — for riding abroad only
⚠️ Keep it UK-legal at home. On UK roads and cycle paths an e-bike must stay capped at 15.5 mph (25 km/h) with 250 W assist. Only raise the limit where it's actually legal — e.g. parts of the USA or on private land. Derestricting on UK public roads turns it into an unregistered motor vehicle (needs registration, insurance, a licence and a helmet), so switch it back before riding home.

On the Engwe display:

  1. On the display, hold the + and − (up/down) buttons together for ~2 seconds to open the settings menu.
  2. Find the speed-limit parameter and raise it to the maximum.
  3. A separate setting toggles the readout between km/h and mph.
  4. Exact button combo and menu codes vary by display firmware — check your Engwe manual if yours differs.
