Ah, typical short sightedness.

Heated grips are reasonably common… on motorcycles.



But only in addition to gloves right? You probably don’t need that on bikes because gloves are enough at the speed you normally ride a bike at. You only need heated grips on motorcycles because you are sometimes going very fast and gloves are too cold, right? I have never ridden a motorcycle but that’s what I imagine it’s like, correct me if I’m wrong.


I've never had a bike with heated grips, they seem a bit silly to me. When I ride in cold weather, I wear thick leather gloves that block a lot of the wind, I don't know how much heated grips would help through thick gloves. For super cold weather, I have a set of electrically heated gloves that do an excellent glove, they're marketed at snowmobile riders


Pogies are a huge improvement for bikes. Strongly recommend for anyone riding in the winter. See, there actually is nuance here!
