Ebike Winter Clothing

I find that bicycle clothing for the winter is too thin to use on ebikes. Ebike riders need thicker jerseys, jackets because of the higher speeds and lower effort used. Just my observation.

Yep, motorcycle clothing would be appropriate. Not a surprise, motor on!

was out cycling this weekend. it was chilly & I was dressed w/ thin layers. got passed by a cpl women on ebikes & while they were pedaling they weren't working as hard as I was. they were bundled up with regular winter walking gear, aka big puffy coats & gloves

While riding you are already warm because of your effort to ride and that is true while riding you can wear more clothes with heavy thicker jackets
