Riding gear
The Indian government stresses enough to always wear a helmet while riding your two-wheeler. The importance of riding gear is often overlooked. Riding gloves are a must-have accessory as your hands are the first thing to come in contact with asphalt in the event of a crash. Similarly, pants and jackets will protect other parts of the body like the back and chest. Paired with riding shoes that will protect your ankles and feet and this will be a complete protection solution. Also, make sure that the helmet is always the original ISI standard mark, not some cheap knockoff.

First Aid Kit
Another thing one must keep with them all the time. Even if the company gives a first aid kit as standard with all the vehicles one can always have some extras just in case. The more comprehensive safety kit includes a small bottle of disinfectant, cotton, cotton gauze, a pair of scissors and a set of bandages. You can also carry some basic medicines like paracetamol inside the kit as well. We advise you to always check the expiration date of the medical equipment or medicines and change them accordingly when needed.

Puncture kit
Most of the recent scooters come with tubeless tyres. It gets difficult if any of the tyres on the vehicle pops up and there is no help around. The puncture kit will come in handy during these situations. Trust us when we say that there is no rocket science in fixing a puncture on a tubeless tyre. We also advise pairing a small electric air pump along with the kit to make it a complete set.

Phone holder
It gets difficult for one to travel from one place to another especially if we do not know the route properly. A mobile holder will be a lifesaver while travelling long or to unknown locations. One can always use a navigation application without taking your phone out of your pocket again and again and placing it on the holder. Pairing it with a mobile charger which was mentioned above in this list will keep your device charged up all the time while using it. Though we advise you to not concentrate on the phone more as it can lead to crashes.
