Why do e-bike jerseys have more reflective elements than regular jerseys?

E-bikes travel at speeds that can surprise motorists, especially in urban environments where drivers may not expect a bicycle moving at 25-45 km/h. The enhanced reflective elements on e-bike jerseys — including larger reflective strips on pockets, shoulders, and sides — ensure you're visible from multiple angles during dawn, dusk, and nighttime riding. This is particularly important for commuters who ride in mixed traffic during low-light hours.
