Wire Lock

A wire lock is first on our accessories list because it is probably an essential item to own to keep your scooter secure and in your possession.

You will use it everywhere you go; without it, you never know if your scooter will still be where you left it before you went into the store or your friend’s house.

People steal scooters, which happens too often, especially in bigger towns or cities and with nicer, more expensive scooters.

So, if you want to have confidence that your scooter will always be where you left it, get a wire lock and use it every time you park it, even if it is just for a few minutes.

Electric Scooter Phone Holder

A phone holder is essential because it keeps your phone safe and accessible.

If you are on an outing and following your GPS map to get somewhere, isn’t it easier to have your phone right in front of you?

It is easier that way rather than having to stop, pull your phone from your pocket, unlock it, open the app up again, then figure out where you are going before putting the phone back in your pocket and getting going again.

With a phone holder, you can mount your phone on your handlebars and have it always accessible and available as you scoot your way all over town.

You can see who is calling or who that text was from, and if you set it up right, you can answer calls or even texts by simply talking to your phone and telling it what to do.

You do not even need your hands to operate your phone when it is right in front of your face in the phone holder and set up to operate by voice commands.

So, if you ever need to use your phone while on the go, or want to play some music to encourage you to go further during an exercise run on the scooter, then get a phone holder for your scooter.

Front Light

Front light is an essential accessory to own for a few reasons.

First, if you ever ride in low light conditions or at night, you not only want one to see where you are going, but you also want one to indicate to oncoming traffic where you are riding to avoid getting hit by the roadway a car.

Lighting your way is essential and will help you ride safer by avoiding hazards like branches in the roadway, potholes, and large rocks. But letting people know where you are by having a light that shows them your position is equally as important and may save your life someday.

So, if you ever ride at or before dawn or at or after dusk, getting yourself a front light for your scooter is imperative and will make your life easier and safer.

 

Rear Light

Rear light is another essential safety accessory to own, and it can help keep you safe while riding at any time of day or night, especially at night.

 

This light shows others where you are on the road so they do not run up on you from behind by accident and cause an accident that could seriously injure you.

 

You could avoid these accidents to a great degree if you just bought and installed a rear light to indicate your position at all times so people can see you from a long way away and have plenty of time to avoid you and your scooter.

Storage Bag

A storage bag is an essential accessory if you transport your scooter with you often or need to store it for long periods. Either situation could use a storage bag to protect the scooter from damage.

These accessory bags also make it easier to carry your scooter because they typically have an over-the-shoulder strap for carrying it with you anywhere, easier than having to pick it up and hold it in your hands the whole time.

For instance, if you ride to work and take a bus or subway for part of the journey. You can ride with the storage bag hanging over your shoulder or in a backpack or purse and bring it out when you get to the transportation pick-up.

When you are there, you can load your scooter up in the bag for easier carrying onto the bus or subway car and keep it out of your and other people’s way while you ride to your destination.

Then you can pull it back out, ride to your work, and then reload the scooter into the bag to sit out of sight all day at your desk, safely out of the way.

Scooter Stand

If you have multiple scooters at home, possibly because you have numerous kids or collect scooters, this accessory can save you a cray amount of room in your garage.

It sits on the ground, and you ride the front wheel into it and walk away.

Your scooter will remain to stand, taking up the absolute minimum amount of space and looking like a well-organized collection rather than a messy pile-up of scooters scatters all over one another.

Having one for each scooter will keep your scooters in better condition because they won’t get scratched or dinged when they would otherwise just get tossed onto the pile of scooters already laying on the ground.

With these accessories mounted correctly and aligned, you can instead have a nice, neat-looking row of scooters.
