5 Must-Have Accessories to Pair with a New Electric Scooter: Chargers, Speakers, Locks and More

Stop guessing — buy the right accessories with your new e-scooter in one click

Getting a new e-scooter feels great — until a flat tyre, a dead phone, or a stolen deck ruins your commute. If you’re shopping in 2026, the smartest move isn’t just picking a scooter: it’s buying an accessory bundle that solves the biggest pain points at once. This guide lays out the 5 must-have accessories to pair with a new e-scooter, explains why each matters, recommends ideal models, and gives practical bundle combinations you can buy as a single value pack.

Why bundle? The real value in 2026

Accessory bundles are no longer a marketing afterthought — they’re the primary way savvy riders secure convenience, warranty-safe compatibility, and savings. In late 2025 and early 2026 retailers and manufacturers accelerated cross-sell packs after two trends became obvious:

• USB-C and Qi2 proliferation: more scooters and rider devices now use USB-C PD and Qi2 wireless standards, so multi-device charging solutions have become essential.
• Heightened safety, theft and battery-transport rules: councils and carriers tightened regulations around battery shipping and public e-scooter security, increasing demand for robust locks and field-service kits — see last-mile battery swap discussions for context on transport rules.

Buying a matched bundle avoids compatibility surprises, reduces shipping costs, and often includes bundled warranty or assembly add-ons — real benefits for online shoppers who worry about delivery, setup and returns.

Quick takeaway: 5 accessories you should always bundle

1. Correct e-scooter charger (match voltage & connector)
2. Portable power bank for devices (and emergency USB-C PD)
3. High-security lock (D-lock or foldable hardened steel)
4. Waterproof Bluetooth speaker for safety & social rides
5. Maintenance kit (tools, pump, puncture repair, spare fasteners)

1) The right charger: don’t ruin a battery with the wrong brick

Why it matters: Using the wrong voltage or connector can harm the BMS (battery management system) and void warranties. In 2026, manufacturers are standardising label conventions but connectors and voltages still vary by brand and battery chemistry.

What to buy

• Always match the charger voltage and current rating to the scooter’s label. Common examples: many 36V packs use ~42V chargers; 48V systems often use 54.6V chargers. Check the scooter spec sheet before buying.
• Choose chargers with over-voltage, short-circuit and temperature protection. Smart chargers that show charge percentage and have an LED or LCD are worth the small premium.
• If you want a compact option for multi-device households, look for OEM or reputable third-party alternatives that specify compatibility for your model (e.g., Ninebot/Segway, Xiaomi, Dualtron/Minimotors, E-Twow).

Recommended models

• OEM charger supplied by the scooter brand — always best for warranty peace of mind.
• Reputable third-party chargers from Anker/Tevigo (check voltage) — good balance of price and safety certifications.

Bundle tip: Pair the scooter + charger as a single SKU to get a warranty-safe combo and lower delivery fees. If you’re buying for a household with phones and accessories, choose a bundle that includes a USB-C PD power bank (below) so you don’t need additional adapters.

2) Power bank (USB-C PD + Qi) — keep phones, lights & route apps alive

Why it matters: Navigation apps, e-ride displays and Bluetooth lights drain phone batteries fast. Modern power banks that support USB-C PD (Power Delivery) and Qi2 wireless keep devices topped up without carrying multiple chargers.

What to buy

• Choose a power bank with at least 10,000–20,000 mAh for a full smartphone top-up + multiple boosts. For multi-day trips, 20,000 mAh is preferable.
• Look for pass-through charging so the bank can charge and discharge simultaneously — handy when you ride while charging the bank at home.
• Qi2 wireless and USB-C PD (30W or 45W) are the standards in early 2026; if you have an iPhone 14/15/16/17/18 family device or Qi2-capable accessories, pick a Qi2-certified bank for best results. For guidance on portable power options you might also check compact power station roundups (useful if you want a larger home charging option): Portable Power Station Showdown.

Recommended models

• Anker PowerCore III 20,000 mAh (USB-C PD 45W) — reliable, widely available in the UK.
• Cuktech 10,000 mAh wireless model — great value if you only need one phone top-up (ZDNET favourite in 2025 testing).
• UGREEN MagFlow / Apple MagSafe for riders who want a sleek dock at home; pair with a USB-C PD bank for on-the-go power.

Bundle tip: If you want a compact commuter bundle, combine a 10,000–15,000 mAh bank + charger and get a small discount. For touring riders, bundle a 20,000 mAh bank plus a spare scooter charger in a single purchase to minimise downtime.

3) High-security lock — buy once, avoid heartbreak

Why it matters: E-scooter theft remains the number one post-purchase regret. A cheap cable lock is a false economy — invest in a lock that deters both opportunistic and targeted thieves.

Types & features to prioritise

• D-lock / U-lock (hardened steel shackle) — best for frame-to-post security when paired with a cable for the front wheel.
• Foldable locks — compact, high-torque resistance and convenient for storage in scooter decks or backpacks.
• Look for Sold Secure or ART ratings where possible, and choose locks with anti-drill cylinder cores.

Recommended models

• Abus Granit series (highly rated for bikes and e-scooters) — excellent deterrent and robust hardware.
• Hiplok D1000 or Hiplok Foldy — wearable and designed for commuter use.
• Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit (if you want maximum ruggedness and don’t mind the weight).

Bundle tip: The most effective theft-deterrent bundle pairs a D-lock + strong cable + ground anchor (if you park on private property). Offer this as a Theft-Deterrent Pack and include a lightweight alarm tag for extra protection — buyers will pay for tangible security.

4) Waterproof Bluetooth speaker — safety, socials and sanity

Why it matters: Riders use speakers not just for music — a small Bluetooth speaker improves awareness (audible route alerts, group ride calls) and doubles as a social accessory during stops. In 2026, micro speakers with 8–12 hour battery life and IP67 rating are mainstream.

What to buy

• IP67 or better for dust and water resistance.
• Clipable designs (carabiner loop) to attach to the deck or backpack securely.
• 10–12 hour battery life and 10–20W output for clear audio without distortion at moderate volume.

Recommended models

• JBL Clip 4 — compact, durable and excellent for commuting.
• Bose SoundLink Micro — premium sound and rugged design (if budget allows).
• Anker Soundcore or Tribit StormBox Micro — great value picks with long battery life.

Bundle tip: Offer a Social & Safety Pack — speaker + handlebar mount + reflective strap. This works well for riders who use the scooter for leisure or group rides. For cheaper ways to enjoy music on the move, check alternatives to streaming services and music payment options: Cheaper Ways to Pay for Music.

5) Maintenance kit — the one pack every owner should have

Why it matters: Flat tyres, loose bolts and misaligned brakes stop trips fast. A compact maintenance kit lets you fix common issues on the road and avoid expensive service calls.

What to include

• Multi-tool set with Allen keys and Torx bits (sized for scooter hardware).
• Mini hand pump (suitable PSI up to 60+ depending on tyre), tyre levers, and a puncture patch kit or spare inner tube.
• Brake-pad spare set (if your scooter uses replaceable pads), spare fasteners, zip ties, and thread locker sachet.
• Small bottle of lubricant/grease for hinges and folding mechanisms, and a compact torque wrench for critical bolts.

Recommended kits

• Custom e-scooter maintenance kit — look for a kit that calls out compatibility with your brand model.
• Park Tool or similar compact multi-tool collections adapted for scooters — quality tools reduce the risk of stripped bolts.

Bundle tip: The Complete Care Pack pairs a maintenance kit with a spare inner tube and a portable puncture sealant. Include free how-to videos or a QR-coded troubleshooting guide — customers love practical learning aids and stores can reduce returns and support tickets.

How to assemble practical bundles for every rider

Below are five curated bundles you can sell as single purchases (or assemble for yourself at checkout). Each bundle targets a common rider profile and explains why the combination makes sense.

Commuter Essentials Pack (best for daily city riders)

• OEM scooter charger or matched 42V/54.6V smart charger
• 10,000–15,000 mAh USB-C PD power bank (compact)
• Hiplok Foldy or small foldable D-lock
• Compact maintenance multi-tool

Why this works: short urban trips need reliable charging, theft prevention and tiny repairs. This pack is lightweight, fits a commuter bag and reduces morning stress. If you’re comparing commute gear, take a look at e-bike deals to see how other micro-mobility bundles are priced.

Long-Range Touring Pack (best for weekend explorers)

• High-capacity charger for your scooter + spare battery connector if needed
• 20,000 mAh USB-C PD power bank with pass-through
• Portable pump, patch kit and spare inner tube
• Waterproof speaker (JBL/Tribit) and handlebar mount

Why this works: longer trips need redundant power and repair options. A larger power bank keeps phones, lights and GPS running for hours. For larger backup power ideas, see portable station comparisons: Portable Power Station Showdown.

Theft-Deterrent Pack (best for high-risk urban parking)

• Abus Granit D-lock or Kryptonite Fahgettaboudit
• Steel ground anchor (for secure home parking)
• Alarm tag and cable security loop
• Locking storage bag or dock

Why this works: combining hardware locks with alarms and a secure home anchor gives layered security that thieves avoid.

Social & Safety Pack (best for riders who mix commuting and leisure)

• Waterproof Bluetooth speaker + clip mount
• USB-C PD power bank (10,000 mAh) for on-the-go music and calls
• Reflective vest or strap and extra lights

Why this works: music, visibility and battery support make group rides and evening commutes safer and more fun.

Complete Value Pack (best overall — our recommended value pack)

• OEM or matched smart charger
• 20,000 mAh USB-C PD power bank with Qi2 wireless pad
• Hiplok Foldy or medium Abus D-lock
• Compact maintenance kit with pump and spare inner tube
• Basic waterproof Bluetooth speaker

Why this works: covers power, safety, repairs and fun in one purchase. Offer this as a single SKU with one delivery and optional assembly, and customers get notable savings versus buying items separately.

Practical shopping & compatibility checklist (before you click Buy)

• Charger compatibility: match voltage and polarity; if in doubt, photograph the scooter’s charge port label and check with the retailer.
• Connector type: many scooters use barrel connectors; some newer models use waterproof multi-pin connectors — don’t assume USB-C for scooter charging.
• Lock fit: measure the clearance between your favourite parking points and the scooter’s frame to ensure the lock will fit around both wheel and post.
• Waterproof ratings: choose IP67+ if you ride in heavy UK weather.
• Power bank pass-through: required if you intend to trickle-charge your phone while charging the bank at home.
• Warranty and returns: buy bundles that preserve scooter warranties — some brands void warranty if non-OEM chargers are used. Consider omnichannel options like store pickup or consolidated bundles to protect returns and warranty terms: Omnichannel Shopping For Savers.

Delivery, assembly and aftercare — what to expect in 2026

Retailers improved bundle logistics in late 2025 to meet customer demand for fast, single-package delivery. Here’s what to expect now:

• Many stores offer same-week dispatch and consolidated packaging for accessory bundles, reducing shipping costs for bulky items like locks and pumps.
• Optional in-box assembly or pre-pairing (speaker paired to your phone, charger tested) can be added at checkout — useful if you distrust online-only retailers for setup. For secure device onboarding and pre-pairing workflows, read about secure remote onboarding.
• Look for extended-return bundles (14–30 days) and extra support like QR-coded video guides — these reduce the fear of buying accessories online.
• Be aware of battery shipping rules: spare scooter batteries may require special courier handling and cannot be shipped via air — retailers will note this at checkout and you can compare transport strategies with last-mile battery swap guidance.

How to present bundles on your product page (retailer advice)

If you’re building cross-sell packs for an e-commerce store, clear labelling and a compatibility wizard are critical. Show the scooter model selector first, then dynamically recommend the correct charger and lock size. Offer a pre-built “Value Pack” and an option to customize — customers like both convenience and control. Bundle discounts of 10–25% are common and effective. For broader advice on conversion-first local pages and product presentation, see the Conversion‑First Local Website Playbook.

Final checklist before checkout

• Confirm scooter model and battery voltage.
• Choose the bundle that matches your use-case (commute, touring, theft-prevention).
• Check warranty language for chargers and third-party accessories.
• Add assembly or tutorial bundle if you want the retailer to pre-configure items.

Actionable next steps

If you’ve just bought a new e-scooter or are about to, here’s a quick plan you can follow right now:

1. Locate the scooter’s charger label (voltage/current) or the online spec sheet.
2. Decide your priority: daily commute (choose Commuter Essentials) or long trips (choose Long-Range Touring).
3. Add the chosen bundle to cart as a single purchase and select consolidated shipping at checkout for the best value.
