A lock, before anything else. An electric bike is worth more than the bicycle it looks like, and it is stolen more often for the same reason. After that, lights: the UK is dark by half past four for a third of the year, and a rear light is what stops the overtake happening too close.
A helmet is not a legal requirement in the UK on a road-legal e-bike, and it is the third thing we would buy anyway. Pumps and tools can wait until the first flat, but only if you like walking.
