Tech That Enhances Your Ride
Modern electric scooter riders rely on smartphones for navigation, ride tracking, and music. The right tech accessories keep your devices secure and accessible while riding.
Phone Mounts
Quad Lock is the industry standard. Their scooter and bike mount system uses a twist-lock mechanism that holds your phone rock-solid at any speed. Cases are available for most popular phones, and the universal adapter works with any case. The vibration dampener add-on protects your phone's camera stabilisation system from motor vibrations.
RAM Mounts X-Grip offers a universal clamping solution that fits any phone without a specific case. The spring-loaded arms hold firmly, and the ball-and-socket joint allows angle adjustment. It is bulkier than Quad Lock but more versatile.
Peak Design Mobile provides a sleek magnetic mounting system. The magnet is strong enough for city riding but may not hold at high speeds or on very rough roads. Best for moderate-speed commuting.
GPS Trackers
Apple AirTag is the simplest theft-tracking solution for iPhone users. Hide one inside your scooter's deck or stem tube. The Find My network provides location updates even when the scooter is far away.
Samsung SmartTag2 serves the same purpose for Android users through the SmartThings network.
Invoxia GPS Tracker provides real-time GPS tracking with cellular connectivity independent of any phone ecosystem. It offers movement alerts, trip history, and precise location tracking. Requires a small monthly subscription.
Bluetooth Audio
Bone conduction headphones from Shokz let you hear music and navigation prompts while keeping your ears open to traffic sounds. The OpenRun Pro 2 is sweat-resistant and lightweight. Never use in-ear headphones while riding as they block critical environmental sounds.
Action Cameras
Insta360 Go 3S is a tiny magnetic camera that clips to your helmet for ride documentation. Useful for scenic rides and as a dashcam in case of accidents. The magnetic mount makes it easy to attach and remove.
Charging on the Go
Some scooters have USB charging ports built in. If yours does not, a compact power bank in a handlebar bag keeps your phone charged on longer rides.
