InsideOutdoor | SUMMER 2022 28 In-Season E-bike themselves are far from the only opportunity within the e-bike boom. With the new crop of e-bike riders comes a new need for cool and convenient bike accessories. Here’s a handful of the latest and greatest, many from names familiar to outdoor specialty dealers. E-bike Add-ons CamelBak Hip Belt When going out for a quick ride and all that’s needed are the essentials, the Podium Flow Belt 4 provide a minimalist option. This comfortable hip belt includes a 21-ounce Podium Dirt Series water bottle that fits right in the center of the belt for easy access, while ventilating air mesh along the back panel, compartmentalized storage pockets and the use of recycled materials complete the package. SRP is $55. Old Man Mountain Fat Racks The Divide and Divide Fat racks are designed to fit just about any type of bike. The Divide boasts a 55lb/25kg carrying capacity when eyelet mounted and a 70lb/33kg capacity when using one of the company’s mount fit kits. The rack is easily swapped from one bike to another or from the front to the back of the bike with just a few bolts. Other highlights include a new dropout design for the perfect fit on any bike and a lower pannier rail, which makes it easier to put bags on and take them off with gear lashed to the deck and provides a lower center of gravity for a more stable ride, said OMM. SRPs start at $148. The Divide ‘Made in the USA’ retails for $180. Pirelli GT Urban Tires The Angel GT Urban is dedicated to the urban e-cyclist looking for handling, grip and speed. The tread derives from Pirelli’s patented design of the famous Angel GT tire, offering dynamism and responsiveness even in wet conditions. At the heart of the new Angel Urban Tires is the tread structure. It consists of two different layers: a surface compound (PROcompound Urban) and a reinforcement layer, called HyperBELT, with an average thickness of 5mm that offers excellent resistance to perforations. The protection, in addition to constituting a physical barrier thanks to its considerable thickness, has a formulation designed to encapsulate sharp objects. Muc-Off E-Bike Corrosion Defence eBike Ultra Corrosion Defence protects battery casing and terminals utilizing state-of-the-art anticorrosion additives and inhibitors to provide class-leading protection against corrosion. It even works on surfaces that already have rust and corrosion by stopping rust in its tracks. Ultra Corrosion Defence drives out moisture and leaves a protective anticorrosive layer on a bike’s frame, battery casing, battery terminals, metal parts, plastics and paintwork to keep the harmful effects of moisture at bay.
