The amount of necessary tools to carry for short distance trip

Multimeter: A multimeter for electric bicycle repair, as long as it is an ordinary digital type, it can be used to test voltage resistance or circuit continuity.

Multi-tool box: A multi-tool box for all terrain ebikes will have all the Allen key, screwdriver and open-end wrench parts, and a basic socket set to help remove nuts and bolts with ease. The most important part of these tools is the open end wrench, which will help you get the nuts off the tire, allowing you to remove the tire from your bike for repairs. If you don’t already have this tool, then you should add it to your multitool box.

Repair bracket: Choose hanging or supporting type, which is convenient for changing tires or repairing motors.

Cable Cutter: A good cable cutter makes trimming cables, zippers, and cable jackets a breeze.

Puncture Repair Kit: Knowing how to remove and replace a tire is excellent before you actually hit the road. The puncture repair kit will include the following: tire sealant, crowbar, small electric grinder, and tubeless tools. The crowbar can be replaced by steel bars or other hard objects. You’ll need to bring a spare mini pump to make sure you have the correct valve on your tire and that it can inflate to the pressure your tire needs. Sometimes a tube is irreparable, and when that happens, having a spare tube means you can always salvage the situation, so carry a tube that fits your car in case you blow out.

Chain Wrench: A chain-specific wrench works with nearly all all-terrain e-bike chains, allowing you to break the chain if you want to remove it. Then the chain wrench will put it back on for you.

Towels: Towels can be used to wipe the e-bike and hands clean after the car is repaired.

Expand the carrying capacity of tools for long-distance travel

The above is the minimum carrying amount for excursions. If you’re going on a long-distance trip, perhaps a full day or even a few days, here are some extra items you’ll need so that no matter where you are, no matter what happens, you’ll be prepared.

Battery Charger: Keep your battery charger with you in case your battery dies while you’re out and about. You can also carry an extra battery with you in case you go exploring in the distant forest, and the two batteries can be used interchangeably.

First aid kit: The outdoor first aid kit is very necessary and must contain: trauma disinfection and bandaging materials, antibiotics to prevent infection, mosquito bite medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, painkiller medicine, first aid heart medicine.

Headlights: If your all terrain ebike breaks down at night, having a headlight on hand to help illuminate what you’re repairing will allow you to fix the e-bike faster. It also makes it easier for others to discover you.

Cash and pen and paper: If your phone dies and your all-terrain e-bike doesn’t have enough power to charge it, having some change on hand can be a lifesaver. You never know when you need to jot down some important information, maybe a license plate, or someone’s details, or write down your emergency contact and address for someone who wants to help you.
