Start with a lock that suits where you park, then add mirrors for seeing behind you, a cover if you store outdoors, a small handlebar bag for essentials and glasses for changing light. Check the fit and mounting standard of each item against your own scooter or e-bike.
Lock first
A lock is the most important accessory for a vehicle you park in public. Choose one that fits where you park, lock the frame to something fixed and keep the keyhole away from the ground. No lock is theft-proof, and your insurer may have its own requirements.
See behind you
Mirrors let you judge traffic before a turn. Check that your handlebar has a standard mirror mount and the thread size, adjust the mirrors while stationary and keep looking over your shoulder for blind spots.
Protect it from weather
If you store outdoors, a waterproof, UV-coated cover protects against rain, snow, dust and sun. Check that the cover dimensions fit your vehicle, let it dry before covering and use a lock through the cover if it has a lock hole.
Carry the small things
A small handlebar bag keeps a phone, wallet and keys within reach. Keep the load light so steering is not affected, and make sure the bag does not block the display, brake levers or lights.
Protect your eyes
Glasses with swappable lenses cover sun, overcast and low light. Check which lenses are polarized and whether they suit a helmet and your face.
