If you’re going to be traveling outdoors on your scooter, it’s very important to consider adding
a number of safety and visibility items. A lap belt may or may not come with your scooter, but
if not you should request to have one added at additional cost if necessary. Other items to
consider adding for outdoor use include reflectors and/or LED headlights/backlights and a flag
for visibility to vehicles if you know you will need to be using crosswalks. Many scooters will
come equipped with lights, but flags are always an add-on. A basket is another crucial safety
addition, though it may not seem like one. Having a basket, bag, and/or cupholder enables you to
carry a water bottle, a mobile phone, wallet/ID, and any emergency medications and supplies you
may need in order to stay safe while you are out and about.
