Namaste Fellow EV Riders!
First of all… congratulations if you’ve just bought (or planning to buy) your first electric scooter! 🎉
I know how exciting and confusing this EV journey can be.
You’ve spent lakhs on the scooter… but nobody tells you this simple truth:
“Accessories make or break your EV experience.”
That’s why today, I’m sharing my personal list of Top 10 Must-Have EV Accessories for Indian Roads and Indian Life.
Why You Shouldn’t Ignore EV Accessories:
– They improve your safety
– Help you increase your EV’s lifespan
– Make your daily rides more comfortable
– And honestly… some of them just make you look cool 😎
Let’s Get Straight to the List:
1. Certified ISI Helmet (Non-Negotiable)
Why?
EV or petrol… head safety comes first.
Pro Tip:
Go for ISI-marked helmets. Brands like Vega, Studds, or Steelbird.
2. Portable EV Charger (For Emergency Top-Ups)
Why?
If you ever get stuck with low battery mid-ride… this will save your day.
My Pick:
Check brands like Ola Accessories or Amazon EV Charger section.
3. Mobile Phone Holder with Charging Port
Why?
Perfect for Google Maps, music, or emergency calls while riding.
Brands to Check:
BOBO BM, GadgetsWrap, RA Accessories.
4. Rainproof Scooter Cover (Because… India Weather ☔)
Why?
Keeps your EV safe from dust, sun damage, and monsoon madness.
Cost: ₹300–₹800
5. Anti-Theft Disc Lock or Alarm System 🔒
Why?
EV scooters are light and easy targets for thieves. A small disc brake lock or handlebar alarm system adds basic protection.
6. Riding Gloves (Grip + Safety)
Why?
If you’re riding daily… your hands will thank you later.
Price Range: ₹400–₹1500
7. Side Stand Sensor (Optional but Useful)
Why?
Prevents riding off with the side stand open.
8. Rearview Mirror Extenders
Why?
Most stock mirrors on EV scooters are tiny and useless in Indian traffic.
9. Floor Mat for EV Scooters
Why?
Keeps the footboard clean from dirt, mud, and tea spills 😂.
10. Reflective Stickers / EV Branding Decals
Why?
For style AND safety.
Leela’s Pro Tip 🚨
Don’t cheap out on safety gear.
You already saved big on fuel… so invest that saving in making your EV life safe and stylish.
