    From someone who rides his bicycle year round even in very cold weather (sub 0 degrees Celsius): Scarf, not to warm jacket, gloves is all you need (and what you will probably already wear in winter).

    Cycling keeps you warm, you don’t need much equipment against the cold.

        That depends on how much power you are putting into it yourself versus what you have the battery add. On flat surfaces with no wind, I ride my eBike just like a normal bike with no power from the battery. Uphill into the wind? Yeah the battery is going to help me.

        High pedal assist to minimize pedalling and maximize breeze. I had a summer internship where I commuted an hour each way on an ebike, even on hot and humid days like that. Honestly, I wasn’t that sweaty by the end of it, as the breeze and pedal assist work wonders for keeping you cool.
