When considering riding an electric scooter, you may choose to purchase a few basic Protective Gear including: Helmet: Protects the head from a fall or collision. Knee pad: Children should wear Kids Knee Pads to protect their knees from scrapes and bumps. Elbow pads: Protect the elbows from similar injuries to those prevented by pads for knees. Wrist guards: Provide better support and protection for the wrist in the event of a fall.
