Electric scooters have taken over our streets in recent years, offering an eco-friendly and practical alternative for urban travel. Whether you’re an experienced user or an enthusiastic beginner, customizing and keeping your scooter safe is essential. Here are the five essential accessories to get the most out of your electric scooter.
1. Safety helmet: the number one priority
Safety should always be your primary concern when riding an electric scooter. A good quality helmet can protect your head in the event of a fall or collision. Choose a helmet that is not only comfortable but also certified, such as those bearing a CPSC or CE standard. You will find stylish models that do not take away from your style while increasing your safety.

2. Lighting: see and be seen
Lighting is crucial, especially if you often ride at night or in low light. Most electric scooters come with lights as standard, but these can often be insufficient. A bright headlight and a flashing rear light will ensure that you are visible to other road users. Additionally, side lights can further improve your visibility in traffic.
3. Anti-theft: protect your investment
Lightweight and easy to move, electric scooters can be a target for thieves. A good lock is therefore a necessary investment. U-shaped models or heavy chains are often the most effective. Opt for an anti-theft system that is both durable and easy to transport, so that you can secure your scooter quickly when you stop.
4. Bag or basket: carry your things
Whether it's to carry your groceries, work documents or personal belongings, a dedicated bag or basket can greatly improve your user experience. There are waterproof models that can be attached directly to the handlebars or frame of the scooter. This simple addition can transform your scooter into a real urban transport tool.
5. Spare tires or repair kit: be prepared for any eventuality
Nothing is more annoying than a flat tire while riding. Since electric scooters are often used in urban environments, they are exposed to debris that can cause flat tires. Having spare tires or a repair kit on hand will help you deal with minor mechanical issues quickly and without panic.
