<\/p>I\u2019m a minimalist when it comes to electric scooter accessories. Conveniently, most E-scooters have built-in front and rear lights, getting rid of the need for the first thing most people buy for a standard bike. That leaves just a few items I\u2019ve found which are worth adding:\n

Phone holder<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Most scooters come with an app which gives you extra information on your ride. Hence, it makes sense to be able to see it hands-free whilst whizzing along.<\/p>\n

Lock<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Max comes with a software disabling feature via the app, but that\u2019s no visual deterrent and therefore no substitute for a decent locking device. I\u2019ve got two;<\/p>\n

The Abus has the advantage of a decent cable.<\/p>\n

The OnGuard is more convenient because it uses a combination lock rather than keys \u2013 which are just an extra thing to remember \u2013 or in my case, lose.<\/p>\n

Rucksack<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no storage as standard of course, but rather than buying a plastic box to add to the handlebars, I recommend a decent lightweight, waterproof rucksack.<\/p>\n

Helmet<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never liked them with push bikes, and I feel perfectly safe without one, But, I insist my daughter uses one with her new scooter. So on balance, they\u2019re recommended.<\/p>\n

Mirrors<\/h4>\n

Looking behind you when needing to turn right is a tricky skill to master (and sometimes painful if like me you aren\u2019t that flexible with your neck muscles).<\/p>\n

I suggest that you buy one which extends beyond the width of the handlebars. Shorter mirrors prove no use as you can\u2019t get your body out of the way.<\/p>\n

A right hand rear view mirror is a worthwhile addition. There\u2019s no need for one on the verge side in my opinion.<\/p>\n

Hand warmers<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On really cold days these came into their own. Once the pack is opened they stay warm for up to eight hours. They can be pushed into gloves, or even wellies.<\/p>\n

Gloves<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I bought some chemical hand warmers for winter rides, and they do work, but a decent pair of gloves is still essential.<\/p>\n

Action Cam<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

An action cam<\/a> is well worth the investment and handlebar space. It proves way more convenient and practical than trying to record your trip using a phone.<\/p>\n

I suggest buying one with a remote that you can use from your pocket. It\u2019s much easier than using the fixed buttons, especially when the camera is in its waterproof case.<\/p>\n

Suncream<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Finally, don\u2019t be fooled by the weather! Scooting in windy conditions dries out the skin. On an overcast day you can be caught out by the sun, especially when you\u2019re scooting for long periods of time. Your hands and face in particular, need a good amount of protection.<\/p>\n
