With the purchase of a flashlight, do not forget about the calls and horns necessary to send a signal when it is needed. If desired, you can purchase a beep-flashlight (two in one). The off-road type of scooters is popular among the adult population, which the manufacturers paid attention to by creating fenders that protect against stones and dirt from under the wheels.
