Four Must Have Accessories For Your Escooter
For me, accessories have been a game change on my escooter. I own a Ducati Pro-II Plus E-scooter, and never really took accessories seriously. Of course, I would wear a helmet and safety equipment, however there are some accessories that can really be a game changer when it comes to enhancing your escooter experience, choosing the right accessories can make a significant difference. Here are four escooter accessories that I would recommend improving the functionality of your ride and make your ride safer and more convenient.
Helmets
Safety should always be the top priority when riding an e-scooter. A well-fitted helmet is indispensable for protecting your head in case of accidents or falls. Look for helmets specifically designed for e-scooter riders, offering a balance of comfort, ventilation, and robust protection. The best escooter helmets have full face protection. These helmets look like motorcycle helmets, but not as bulky. Features like adjustable straps and a sturdy, impact-resistant outer shell are must-haves.
High-Quality Lock for E-Scooters
A high-quality lock is a must for escooters. With the value of e-scooters, securing your escooter is essential. The best locks are U-lock or a strong chain lock, provides peace of mind when you have to leave your scooter unattended. Opt for locks that are tough to cut through and have tamper-proof mechanisms. Standard bike locks are not recommended. Most standard bike locks are easy to cut and can be picked.
Scooter Bag
A waterproof scooter bag is an excellent accessory for storing personal items while riding. It has really been a gamechanger. These bags are designed to attach to the front of the escooter, offering easy access to essentials like phones, wallets, and keys. I also like to keep a charger in by bag for easy charging on the go. Even when I’m going to the store, I like to keep heavier or glass items in the bag. Before getting my bag, I had a couple incidents with broken bags and things falling out. With a bag, I no longer have to worry about broken eggs or jars of honey. Make sure the bag is made from durable, waterproof material to protect your belongings in all weather conditions.
Scooter Phone Holder
I use my phone a ton to navigate on my escooter. Without the phone holder, I had a couple of mishaps and almosts riding. Getting a phone holder for your escooter isn’t only convenient but also keeps you safer. A phone holder that can be attached to the scooter's handlebar is a must-have. It should hold your phone in place, allowing for easy viewing and access while riding. Look for holders with adjustable grips and shock absorption to keep your phone safe during bumpy rides.
Each of these e-scooter accessories plays a vital role in enhancing your riding experience, offering a combination of safety, security, and convenience. Whether you're commuting to work or enjoying a leisurely ride, these accessories will help ensure a smoother, safer journey on your e-scooter.
