The holidays are right around the corner and you might be wondering about ebike gift ideas for that shred-obsessed biker in your life… or you might be the one with an addiction to all-mountain adventure, looking for things to put in your own letter to Santa. Either way, we wanted to share with you our guide to great gifts for e-MTBers.

What characteristics make for the best gifts for mountain bikers?

If you’ve been a bike rider for a while, you might have noticed that people tend to gravitate towards bicycle-themed gifts. How many of us own more than one bike-shaped pizza cutter? How about a T-shirt with a bike-related slogan on the front? Or a pair of bicycle shaped earrings?

These gifts are well-meaning… but they’re not what electric mountain bike riders actually want. We love stuff we can use when we’re on the trail, not stuff that reminds us about MTB when we’re not.

We’re also big believers in quality over quantity. A really good hand pump for fixing flats at the trailside is worth its weight in gold, even if it does cost more than the absolute cheapest product in its class. The phrase ‘buy cheap, buy twice’ rings very true when it comes to two-wheeled pursuits. That doesn’t mean you can’t get awesome gifts for cyclists on a budget (check later down this article for our recommendations), it just means adjusting your priorities.

The best EBike gifts: our top two!

Let’s kick off with our top two e-bike gift ideas.

The bike

One of Mountain Bike Rider (mbr)’s hottest bikes of 2025, winner of E-MOUNTAINBIKE Magazine’s best motor award, the absolute greatest gift you could give an ebiker this Christmas is the Amflow PL Carbon Pro.

This is our top-end, fastest and lightest e-bike model (although the PL Carbon would also make a superb gift) and it’s the perfect upgrade for someone who is passionate about MTB, and ready to step things up to the next level.

The standout feature of the bike is undoubtedly the motor , which is made by Avinox. This epic piece of tech can chuck out up to 120Nm and 1,000Wh of peak power, helping you to blast up inclines and navigate technical obstacles like they’re not even there.

As a fat-tired adventure machine, the bike is also perfectly suited to riding in the cold weather and challenging conditions, meaning the recipient won’t have to wait till summer to enjoy their new favourite possession.

One ride and you’ll understand the deserved hype around the PL Carbon platform.

Action cameras: Capture every airborne moment
For e-MTB enthusiasts, a high-performance action camera is an essential tool for recording trail adventures and sharing the joy of riding. Today’s top-tier action cameras are capable of capturing ultra-smooth 4K footage, delivering crystal-clear image quality even in the shaded depths of a forest.

How can you make your riding videos truly stand out?

Camera Angles: Try different mounting positions for varied perspectives. A chest mount offers an immersive POV angle, capturing your arms and handlebars in action; a helmet mount follows your line of sight for the most authentic ride experience; while a handlebar mount provides the steadiest footage of your journey.

Stabilization: Advanced electronic stabilization technology in modern cameras cancels out even the harshest bumps, ensuring your videos stay smooth and comfortable to watch.

Capturing the Details: A great action camera not only captures the scenery but, with high frame rate modes, also lets you shoot slow-motion footage—freezing your most stylish turns and jumps in time.

More great ebike gift ideas on a budget

If your budget doesn’t stretch all the way to a brand new ebike, or the rider in your life already owns an Amflow PL Carbon (lucky them!), then you might be interested in one of our more budget friendly gift ideas for e-mountain bikers.

Helmet:

Nothing says you care quite like protecting your favourite cyclist’s brain. Helmets get a lot of punishment throughout the cycling season, particularly if the biker you know is prone to falling off. Helmets need to be replaced regularly, because often the damage done from impacts is not visible to the naked eye. If their helmet is looking a little tired, a replacement will make great, thoughtful ebike gift.

Bike pump and inner tube:

It’s not common for e-MTBs to use inner tubes these days, with tubeless technology overtaking in popularity. With that said, punctures can strike at any time and it always pays to have tube and pump in a pocket or saddlebag, just in case. You can never have enough inner tubes, we say.

A cafe lock:

Does your favourite cyclist enjoy a mid-ride coffee stop? Consider gifting them a lightweight ‘cafe lock’ so they can secure their e-bike with peace-of-mind while they go into the cafe to place their order. Lightweight locks aren’t strong enough to withstand a really determined thief with a set of power tools, but they will do the job in a mid-ride pitstop context.

Energy bars:

Tasty, good quality trail snacks are underrated and oft-overlooked. They don’t cost a fortune, but can really pep up a ride. Get your ebiking loved one a selection of tasty treats to enjoy on their next shredfest.

We hope you’ve found something great in our gift guide for e-bikers, but if you’re still making your mind up about getting into e-MTB , you might find our guide to buying an electric mountain bike useful. Whatever the festive season holds for you, have a very happy holiday filled with e-assisted fun on the trails.
