I went out for a ride at around 6:00, while it was still light out. Huge temperature drop from yesterday or even earlier in the day. I had a fleece vest and flannel shirt under my windbreaker, and no gloves. It may be a short cold spell, but it reminds me that cold weather is on the way and the need to get my heavier jacket and gloves ready.
Then it dawned on me, ebike...battery...why not take advantage of having a big ol battery and look into some electric clothing, like a vest, and maybe some gloves. Just starting looking into it and watching some reviews, but wondered if anyone else is using battery powered clothing for winter. I don't really need to tap into the bike's power, since I have a bunch of smaller lipos that I can use, so it depends on what kind of hassle it would be wired to the bike vs having a lipo pack in my pocket.
The cheapest vest I see on Amazon is $30, and some guy on YouTube says it kind of works.

well actually, this one is $16, but only 2 stars https://www.amazon.com/ZHYIYI-Rechargeable-Heating-Electric-Clothing/dp/B09CYYX3RT/ref=sr_1_56?crid=22R83BGI6GWTB&keywords=electric+vest&qid=1665462500&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI3LjIwIiwicXNhIjoiNi45NyIsInFzcCI6IjYuMzAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=electric+vest%2Caps%2C179&sr=8-56
Not looking for the cheapest, but something decent without spending a whole lot. :wink:
