The Basics

 

Cygolite BRIGHT Rear Flasher

Alert drivers to your presence with this BRIGHT 150 Lumen rear flashing LED from Cygolite. The Hotshot features specially designed optics to concentrate the LED toward drivers and recharges easily via USB. It has 6 different patterns, each adjustable, including a daylight flash mode. Multiple mounting options.

2400 Lumen Front Light

Since the Mate’s lights have been delayed for backers, try this super-bright 2400 Lumen front light from Victagen. It features powerful lithium ion batteries which are USB-rechargeable. With 5 modes, you’ll be able to use it for commuting, nighttime, and everything in between!

(faster) 8 Speed Freewheel

The stock freewheel (13-34T) tops out around 25 mph, resulting in a very fast pedaling cadence above that speed. This 8 speed freewheel from DNP features a smaller 11T high gear, meaning you can pedal at 30 mph at a comfortable cadence. Don’t forget the freewheel removal tool below!

Freewheel Removal Tool

If you plan to replace the rear freewheel, you’ll need this removal tool. It fits both the existing Shimano freewheel on the Mate X and the DNP 11-32T freewheel shown above.

20 x 4 Inner Tube

Portable Bike Pump

Protect you gear and store your things in this waterproof bag which fits on the rear storage rack. If you don’t have a rack, purchase a separate seat post-mounted rack below which fits the quick release!

Floor Pump w/ gauge

Helmet w/ Light (3 colors)

Protect your head with a stylish helmet. This helmet features a built-in visor, vents, and a rear LED for extra visibility. Comes in 3 colors: Black, White, and Walnut!

Rear Rack Bag

Fits the Mate’s rear rack

Ibera Rear Rack Bag

Note: this bag does not fit the Mate rack. You’ll need the Ibera rack (below).

This beast of a bag features rigid bottom panel, quick release points, and LOADS of storage (17L). It’s the most highly reviewed rear rack bag on Amazon. Note: it won’t fit the Mate’s rack (you’ll need an Ibera rack).

Protection

Kryptonite Noose Chain Lock

Due to the unique frame design of Mate bikes, traditional heavy duty D locks aren’t capable of locking the rear wheel and frame to an anchor point. Enter Kryptonite’s NY Noose with hardened 12 mm links and Evolution Series 4 disc lock. This beast of a lock not only gives you incredible security against attacks (Sold Secure Gold rating), but it’s flexibility means you can lock your frame AND rear wheel to non-standard anchor points like streetlight poles and trees.

ABUS Folding Alarm Lock

Keep your bike locked and secure with a legendary ABUS folding lock with alarm. It attaches securely to your frame and emits an alarm if tampered with. For added security, grab a Smart Disc Brake Lock. For more information check out our Ultimate Guide to Locks for E-bikes!

Smart Disc Brake Lock

For an extra measure of security, grab this disc brake lock. Not only does it immobilize the rear tire, but it lets out a 110 db alarm if the bike is jostled. Perfect for scaring away would-be thieves! For more information check out our Ultimate Guide to Locks for E-bikes!

Fat Tire Fenders (front + rear)

These front and rear fenders not only keep mud and water off you, but they also look great too, adding a “motocross” look to your Mate X!

 

Suspension

Upgraded Rear Shock

Upgrade your rear shock with an adjustable air shock from DNM. This 165 mm air shock replaces the rear shock included with Mate X, which is spring loaded and not adjustable. This shock also features a lock-out in case you want to turn the bike into a hard-tail. Fine tune your rear suspension just to your liking and don’t forget a high pressure shock pump too!

FOX Shock Pump

You’ll need a high pressure shock pump for the air shock from DNM.

Suntour Suspension Seat Post

For an added level of comfort, try the SR Suntour suspension seat post! In addition to Mate X’s front and rear suspension and fat tires, adding this seat post will make you feel like you’re riding on a cloud!
