Essential Motorcycle Safety Accessories

When it comes to riding a motorcycle, excitement is always present. After all, it’s a journey that opens the door to all kinds of opportunities, with routes that may already be mapped out or limitless options for the most adventurous riders. However, this excitement goes hand in hand with responsibility. It doesn’t matter if you ride your motorcycle daily or only on weekends: your safety and that of your bike must always come first.

In this article we’ll share with you the most important safety accessories for any rider. From helmets to anti-theft devices, as well as gadgets that can make all the difference in an emergency. 

Approved helmet

Although almost everyone has this accessory in mind, some underestimate its importance. A helmet protects the rider’s head and neck, and it can be the guarantee of saving a life in case of an accident.

Certified gloves

Gloves are very useful when riding. They not only protect the rider’s hands but also serve as a safety element in case of falls or accidents that may cause abrasions when sliding on the road.

Protective clothing

Ideally, jackets should have protection on the shoulders, elbows and back, certified with CE approval. Even better if they are waterproof or have a removable thermal lining. 

As for trousers and footwear, regular jeans should be avoided. Reinforced trousers made of Kevlar or Cordura are best. Footwear should cover the ankle, have a non-slip sole and provide toe and heel protection.

Airbag or reflective vest

This accessory is increasingly used by riders. The interesting thing about these vests is that they activate in milliseconds in the event of an impact. If you don’t find them comfortable or appealing, it’s advisable to at least have a reflective vest or clothing, especially at night or on rainy days.

Physical anti-theft device

The idea of having your motorcycle stolen is one of the biggest fears of any rider. That’s why it’s ideal to have a physical lock, such as a disc lock with alarm or a chain lock with ART/SRA certification.

GPS tracker and alarm

If your bike is stolen, a GPS tracker gives you a second line of security. With it you can always know where your motorcycle is. Some models include an app that alerts you in case of suspicious movement.

Emergency and first-aid kit

Don’t just think about accidents, but also about small injuries that can be uncomfortable after a long ride. A small first-aid kit is very useful to have on hand. It’s also important to carry emergency light, a multi-purpose knife, a USB charger and even a flashlight.

A puncture repair spray can also be very useful, especially if you are going on a long route.

Equipment for safe towing

If you use a trailer to transport your bike, make sure you bring certified straps, a non-slip ramp and stabilizers to secure the load properly.

The Remolque Plus from Littleway Team already includes all this, designed for maximum safety and ease of use. 

We must remember that safety cannot be improvised. Each of these accessories can make the difference between a scare and a tragedy, between losing your bike or recovering it in minutes.

Riding safely does not mean giving up fun… it means enjoying it for longer. And above all, it is essential to have a trailer like the Remolque Plus, which guarantees the safe transport of your motorcycle.
