A'ME has been quietly making heated grips for three years running. If you have yet to experience them, you may be surprised that by heating your hands, your entire body becomes relaxed and feels warmer. This alone can make a bad ride into a flowing, beautiful event. A'ME's heated grips are pricey, but most of the investment is in the lithium ion battery. The grips are available with pigtail wiring to adapt to almost any lighting system's battery.
Give my buddy Brent a break. He's my high school friend, a multi-time Baja 1000 Motorcycle Champion, and he's pretty shy. I tricked him into doing this interview.

For the past 4 months, I've been building a 'downhill' trail that has no vehicle access, so I ride my xc bike up there. When it's raining and just above freezing and I'm on my way back down the mountain not even able to feel my fingertips after a long day of building, I have often wondered when this product would come to market. I can't justify the price, but some people can, and they will be more likely to ride with this product. Isn't that why we're on this site, to celebrate riding?
Sealskin gloves worked pretty well for me this winter, bought them after my hands got painfull a few times on the early morning start wearing x-country gloves. Although it was mainly only when sleating that I suffered with pain and this was just in the thumb and breaking finger. What about handlebar Gortex/fleece handwarmer pockets like on quad bikes?
I'm not a fan of the phrase "man up" but some kind of more intelligent equivalent is definitely called for. If you buy these you are, to put it kindly, utterly senseless. If turning the biking population into a bunch of complaining pansies is the goal, then why not have helmets with built in humidifiers for when it's hot, or why not line up mattresses along the edge of racecourses to stop racers getting hurt when they fall? In fact biking gets you dirty, and who want's to be dirty, lets not do it anymore.
When you're pumping the pedals or ripping the tracks in the winter, you'll stay warm enough when you get going. You do not need these.
can i get a seat warmer to please? and a pedal warmer? and a tire warmer to melt the snow where i decide to ride and a heater for my brake fluid and my fork fluid so they feel pretty in the winter..... to far... yes.
lmao!
