The invention provides an electric pole climbing aid and belongs to the technical field of pole and tower climbing devices. The electric pole climbing aid comprises a connecting plate, a clamping jaw,a driving mechanism, a pedal and a control button, wherein one end of the connecting plate is abutted against an electric pole, the clamping jaw is arranged on the lower end face of the connecting plate, the driving mechanism is fixedly arranged on the lower end face of the connecting plate and is connected to the clamping jaw, the pedal is hinged to the upper end face of the connecting plate, and the control button is arranged between the connecting plate and the pedal and connected with the driving mechanism. The electric pole climbing aid has the advantages that a worker presses the control button by pedaling the pedal when climbing the electric pole, the control button controls the driving mechanism to drive the clamping jaw to clamp or loosen the electric pole, and then the worker can climb by two feet alternately, so that climbing stability is improved; with the clamping jaw used for clamping or loosening the electric pole, the electric pole climbing aid can solve the problem that only using an arc-shaped clamp ring of a specific shape is insufficient to climb electric poles with different diameters.
