In this article, I cover some of the tools I take along on my e-bike adventures, and share ideas on staying safe on the trail.
On several occasions, I’ve served as a “tow truck” of sorts for the owner of a bike. How? I worked as an Uber and Lyft driver in 2017 and 2018. I’d show up to the pickup site, and somebody would have a flat tire, a broken chain, or some other issue. My vehicle isn’t very big, but with one or both bike wheels removed, and only one human passenger, It wasn’t really a problem to fit most bikes in the back. I’d take them to the nearest shop or back to their home, and they’d get things taken care of.
This is bulky, as we both ride 26″ x 4″ fat tire e-bikes and I prefer thick tubes for thorn protection, but this all goes in a cargo bag on a cargo rack on a bike that’s already quite heavy. If you’re riding a lighter road bike, you could get away with smaller tubes, fewer of them, and use thinner ones to save space and weight. You have to assess the risks of the kind of riding you’re doing and prepare accordingly.On top of at least one tube, it’s also a good idea to carry a patch kit.
However, they don’t always come with everything your bike needs. For example, this toolkit came with nothing to remove the bike’s rear wheel. If I needed to put a new tube in the rear tire, I’d be SOL. So I also take along the right size wrench to get the rear wheel off, along with a few zip ties to put the rear wheel’s wiring back into place before taking off again. I also carry a multi-tool that can be used to remove zip ties .
