Published: November 5, 2006

With all of the accessories available, now it is easier than ever for scooter aficionados to personalize their rides.

Before discussing the fun scooter accessories riders can use to customize their bikes, it is important to start with a practical matter: security.

There are a variety of remote alarm systems and cable locks available to secure scooters. Cable locks are similar to the chain locks used to secure bicycles. Cable locks are practical anti-theft devices since many are made of light-weight materials which not only are weather-proof, but are drill and pick resistant. Even these cable locks have their own accessories — cable covers — available in a variety of bright and metallic colors. Scooter accessory manufacturers also make locks to protect spare tires. Most of these practical scooter accessories are relatively affordable.

To protect the scooter from the elements, many riders opt for a simple scooter cover made of durable, weather-resistant fabric. Riders can purchase handlebar muffs for winter drives, inside which they slip their hands on the twist grip and lever to keep them warm.

For sludgy terrain, mud flaps are available in a variety of prints. Even foot pegs come in several styles and materials for scooter owners to choose from, including chrome and copper with optional rubber accents. Drivers with a sense of humor can opt for squeaky bulb horns or stick with standard air horns. Some riders even equip their scooters with stereo systems and neon lights.

Scooter owners have a myriad of options to choose from when using scooter accessories to customize their vehicle. The rider controls even the minutest details of his or her bike’s aesthetics, down to the shape of the side view mirror – circular, oval or rectangular with squared edges.

Valve caps, too, come in all shapes and colors, such as hexagon or bullet shaped or even in the shape of a skull! Drivers can pick the color of their license holders and even the color of the screws for the license plate mount.

The lack of storage space is one dilemma of traveling by scooter. To help alleviate this problem, many scooter manufacturers make storage racks for riders who desire more room to stash personal belongings. These are practical scooter accessories for seasoned riders.

In addition to these functional items, manufactures also distribute a fair amount of novelty scooter accessories. Riders can don jacket patches, pins and badges with the Vespa logo. Riders also can purchase key chains, stickers, wallets and T-shirts all donning company logos.

Many scooter owners refer to their bike as “my baby.” With all of the customizing options available, a scooter truly can become a reflection of its proud owner.
