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 DJI and bears the name ‘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.

The action camera setup

The Osmo Action 5 Pro camera is a top-of-the-line action camera from DJI, perfectly suited to capturing your adventurous explorations on your e-bike. It captures immersive, 4K footage with a 1/1.3” sensor, 4nm chip – for super-crisp imagery even in low light.


Right now you can get the camera and a mounting setup designed specifically for mountain bike use, so that you can securely rig the Osmo Action 5 Pro to your handlebars or helmets, and start shooting your own personal highlight reels. Check out the Osmo Action 5 Pro bundle and add it to your wishlist.

The best part…

We haven’t even told you the coolest thing about our top two ebike gift recommendations… they work amazingly together with seamless integration. So you can record your two-wheeled adventures easily, and capture some truly awesome video memories.


With the one-touch quick control interface, you can use the display on the PL Carbon’s handlebar to activate the camera. You don’t even need to lift your hands from the bars! You can also use the interface to change shooting modes – and stop or pause the record.

With the DJI Mimo app you can go another step further in bringing your rides to life, by adding your bike data and health metrics to the footage as an overlay. Now you’ll know which parts of the trail really got your heart racing, and what top speeds you hit on your favourite descent – while reliving it in real-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.
