The Scooter symbolizes freedom! Freedom of choice and the freedom to innovate! You can choose many accessories that have been specially designed for scooters just to make your scattering experience a pleasurable one. Let us now look at some of the accessories you can use with your scooter which look trendy and hip and are also geared towards your safety.
Helmet:
If you own a two wheeler, it goes without saying that you need to procure a helmet for yourself. It is a law to wear a helmet while riding a scooter, in many countries failing which you will incur a penalty. A helmet is for the rider's safety and you should always choose a very good quality helmet. This can save your life if something untoward happens when you are riding on the road. There are many types of helmets but we recommend the full face helmet if you riding in an urban setting. You can use the other types of helmets which do not have a chin guard only when you are riding through uncluttered streets with very less vehicle density. Always ensure a proper fit when buying helmets as this is very crucial.
Scooter Sunglasses or goggles:
When you are riding in an urban environment, especially in crowded cities like Mumbai and Delhi you can imagine the amount of dust in the air. To safeguard your eyes against this menace, you should use specially designed goggles which come in very handy especially during such times.Goggles do a better job of keeping the wind out of your eyes which can often lead to tears and blurred vision. Lenses come in many different variants like polarized or the non- polarized variety. UV protection should be the first thing in your mind when you are purchasing these goggles, so please ensure with the dealer about the goggles features.
A Scooter Lock:
A scooter lock is a very important tool from the security point of view. Scooter thefts are common and to safe-guard against such potential issues, you should procure a scooter lock.If your scooter has front disk brakes then a front-disk disk brake lock is highly recommended. It is wiser to have locks which can attach to something stationary so that a truck can't take it away.
A Scooter Backpack or Bag:
One of the handiest things to carry along with your scooter is a messenger bag or back-pack so that you can carry your essentials. Many good quality bags have good features like being water-proof and very strong fasteners. The natural agents can't do these bags much harm, hence when you are riding in the rains you can rest assured that your stuff is safe in that bag. Keep in mind that if you are doubling, a messenger bag is better than a backpack.
Scooter Cover:
A scooter cover is very handy when you have to park your scooter in open spaces exposed to the elements. Your scooter can lose its sheen and also nave some technical problems due to the exposure. Hence we recommend a decent scooter cover which in addition from sheltering it from the elements, also keeps a plethora of kids from sitting on your scooter and playing with all the buttons.
Rain Gear:
Rain gear is an important thing when you are travelling in the monsoons. People say that the only shortcoming of a scooter is that it is difficult to ride it in the monsoons because the rider gets woefully wet. The solution to this is that you should get hold of some really reliable and water-proof gear. It won't come cheap but it will deliver all its promises. Even if you ride in torrential rain, you will emerge dry and comfortable from within the rain gear.
We hope these tips will help you have a very pleasant scootering experience.
