When it comes to eBiking, the ride should be fun, fast, and—most importantly—safe. Whether you're commuting at dawn, riding home at dusk, or adventuring through low-light conditions, your front light is your first line of defense. It’s your visibility shield, your safety signal, and your way of turning every ride into a confident one.
At Lectric eBikes, we’re proud to offer integrated front lights as a standard feature on every model. But for riders looking to go the extra mile in visibility, brightness, and performance, upgrading your front light can make a world of difference. Here’s why it matters—and how to make it happen.
First things first, let’s look at 3 of our most popular options and why they might be a fit for you:
Premium Headlight
Great for everyday riders and casual commuters. It’s a solid step up from the standard stock light—offering better brightness and cleaner road focus for daily use.
- Twice the output of our standard headlight for greater visibility on the road
- Best for: City riders, short-distance commutes, and families
- Bright enough for visibility without overwhelming oncoming traffic
-
Integrates seamlessly with Lectric’s existing wiring
Elite Headlight
This is the “sweet spot” for riders who regularly find themselves in lower-light conditions or want a light they can rely on year-round. The wider beam makes side visibility much better, and the improved brightness increases safety during sunrise or sunset rides.
- Four times the output of our standard headlight for greater visibility on the road
- Best for: Commuters, students, and recreational riders
- Strong balance between power and energy efficiency
-
Ideal upgrade for riders in suburban or mixed-terrain areas
Beacon Light
The top-tier light in Lectric’s lineup. This beast is designed for adventure riders, off-roaders, and anyone who treats their eBike like a 24/7 vehicle. With 1600 lumens, the Beacon turns night into day.
- Includes 3 LED bulbs equating to 1600 LUMENS or 1050 LUX
- Best for: Nighttime trail riders, remote commuters, high-speed riders
- Comes with its own rechargeable battery pack, preserving your bike’s main battery
-
Detachable and great for multi-purpose use (camping, emergencies, etc.)
So, Which Light is Right for You?
Think of it like upgrading your car’s headlights. If you're just adding clarity and safety to your daily rides, the Premium is more than enough. Want a noticeable boost with better road coverage? Go Elite. Need max power for serious night riding? The Beacon is built for you.
And whichever you choose, you’ll get Lectric’s signature plug-and-play simplicity, durable construction, and performance you can count on.
Why Front Lights Matter More Than You Think
Most people assume that a bike light is just for night riding. But seasoned eBikers know: a bright, well-angled front light is essential around the clock.
- Daytime visibility helps drivers and pedestrians spot you quickly—especially when you're cruising up to 28mph on a Lectric eBike.
- Nighttime clarity lights up dark paths, unexpected obstacles, and road debris before it becomes a hazard.
-
Low-light conditions (cloudy days, tunnels, early mornings) demand consistent lighting to help you ride with confidence.
Whether you’re commuting to work, hitting the trails, or biking your kids to school, a reliable front light is your ultimate riding companion.
Key Considerations for Upgrading Your eBike Front Light
Not all lights are created equal. When choosing an upgrade for your Lectric eBike, here’s what to look for:
1. Brightness (Lumens)
Lumens measure the total amount of visible light a bulb emits.
- For city riders, a 300–500 lumen light may be sufficient.
- For suburban or rural riders, or those tackling darker paths, 600+ lumens is ideal.
- If you’re riding on unlit trails or roads, 1000+ lumens can offer headlight-level visibility.
Lectric’s Premium Headlight Upgrade features a powerful beam that outshines standard bike lights, ensuring you’re not just seen—you’re virtually unmissable.
2. Beam Pattern and Mounting Angle
A bright light isn’t helpful if it’s pointing at the sky—or blinding oncoming traffic.
Look for a focused beam that evenly lights the road ahead without causing glare. Adjustable mounting angles are key for dialing in the sweet spot where the beam hits the road without shining into drivers’ eyes.
Lectric’s upgraded lights come with adjustable mounts designed to align perfectly with your bike’s geometry.
3. Power Usage and Battery Life
Some lights burn bright but drain fast. A quality light should be efficient, giving you hours of reliable illumination without cutting into your bike’s range.
Lectric’s upgraded lights are powered directly from your eBike’s internal battery, meaning no extra charging required. That’s one less thing to think about—and one more way Lectric bikes simplify your ride.
4. Durability and Weather Resistance
Your light should be just as rugged as your bike. Look for models that are:
- Water-resistant or waterproof (IP-67 rating or better)
- Shockproof or impact-resistant for bumpy rides
-
Built with high-quality housing materials, like aluminum or reinforced plastic
Lectric’s upgraded lights are built to handle all-weather conditions, so you never have to ride in the dark—or skip a ride—because of a little rain.
Assembly: How Easy Is It to Upgrade?
One of the best parts about upgrading your front light on a Lectric eBike? It’s beginner-friendly and quick to install.
Here’s a general step-by-step.
-
Unbox and Inspect
Lectric’s upgraded light kits come with all necessary hardware. Double-check your light, bracket, and wiring for any signs of damage during shipping.
-
Remove the Standard Light
Using a hex key (usually included with your Lectric eBike toolkit), unbolt the standard headlight from the fork or handlebar mount.
-
Attach the New Bracket
Mount the upgraded bracket securely in the same position, ensuring it’s angled downward slightly for optimal beam placement.
-
Connect the Wiring
Lectric eBikes come with plug-and-play connectors. Just detach the existing light cable and plug in the upgraded one—no cutting, stripping, or soldering required.
-
Test Your Light
Turn on your eBike, activate the headlight, and test the beam. Adjust the angle if needed.
-
Hit the Road!
You’re now ready to ride brighter, safer, and with confidence.

At Lectric, we design every detail around real-world riding. That’s why every eBike in our lineup comes with:

- Reflective accessories like vests, spoke reflectors, and helmet decals
-
Mirrors for rearview awareness, especially in busy traffic
Lectric offers an entire line of accessories designed to integrate seamlessly with your bike—no guesswork, no extra modifications.
