Electric scooters have become a popular way to cover short urban trips. Like cyclists, scooter riders benefit from a few practical accessories and good habits.
Locking at your destination
If you own your scooter, you will need a way to secure it at stops. A lock gives you an option for short errands.
Check local rules about where scooters can be parked.
Lights for low light
Many scooters have built-in lights, but an additional riding light can add visibility. Always check local lighting requirements.
Navigation within view
A handlebar phone mount keeps directions in view. Set your route before riding and avoid interacting with your phone while moving.
Responsible riding
Scooter rules vary widely between cities and countries.
- Follow local speed limits and lane rules
- Wear a helmet
- Ride predictably around pedestrians
- Park without blocking sidewalks
A note on the City Ride Kit
The lock, light and phone mount in the City Ride Kit suit everyday scooter use. The Waterproof Saddle Cover is designed for bicycle saddles and is not intended for scooters.
