Best action cameras for electric bikes in 2026

For e-bikes the most important accessories are an ART-2 or ART-3 approved lock — think the ABUS Bordo Granit XPlus 6500 or the AXA Fold Pro 100 — because most insurers require this above 2,000 euros and otherwise you receive nothing after theft. A secondary lock (chain or U-lock) such as the Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit is wise for pricier models. For visibility in the dark winter months, proper lighting is crucial: the Busch & Müller IQ-X headlamp is ideal because it runs off the e-bike battery and never runs flat. A helmet with integrated LEDs like the Lumos Ultra boosts visibility, even though helmets are not legally required. Waterproof panniers such as the Ortlieb Back-Roller Classic are indispensable for commuting given Dutch rain. A phone mount with vibration damping, like the Quad Lock with Vibration Dampener, protects your iPhone camera module from motor-induced vibration damage. Finally: a sturdy battery cover and a good outdoor bike cover for when your bike sits in the rain.
