Scooter covers: types and tips for choosing

When buying a scooter, you need to take care of additional accessories. The most important of these is the case. For the scooter to be conveniently stored and transported, the bag must meet several criteria.

A scooter case is a kind of bag for storing, transporting and protecting it. A scooter in a case will be less susceptible to dirt, moisture, and various mechanical damage.

Products can be sewn from different materials, using fittings and belts, but the purpose of these accessories always remains the same. When folded, the cover is practically does not take up space.

There are a large number of covers on the modern market. They differ not only in manufacturers, but also in other parameters. So, all covers can be divided into three large categories in terms of shape:

• bags - classic version with comfortable carrying handles;
• purse - a compact case that can be folded into a small handbag with a drawstring;
• backpack - a very convenient model, since the scooter can be carried on the shoulders behind the back, some scooter fans often call such a cover a "donkey".

There are several sizes:

• "M" - suitable for vehicles, the distance between the wheels of which is no more than 70 mm;
• "L" - common model for storing scooters 70-80 mm;
• "XL" - to make it convenient to use such a cover, the distance between the extreme points of the wheels should be 80-90 mm, suitable for an electric scooter;
• "2XL" - the distance between the wheels should be 110-230 mm, usually bags of this size have the ability to pack only the deck and the rear wheel in a cover, and roll the scooter on the front.
• "3XL" - for scooters 250 mm.

There are also cases that are labeled as "Inm" in size. This model is specially designed for Inmotion. Only the rear wheel and deck are closed. You can buy a universal model in which it will be comfortable to store any scooter, regardless of its size (division into adults and children).

The convenience of using it, as well as its service life, depends on the correct choice of the cover. When buying, you should pay attention to the following important points:

• the fabric from which the cover is sewn must be durable and resistant to all kinds of dirt;
• it is more practical to choose bags of a dark color, since even slight contamination will be noticeable on easily soiled colors;
• handles must be strong;
• the weight of the cover itself should be kept to a minimum, since the scooters themselves are heavy.

Hardware deserves special attention... Buttons, zippers and other fasteners must be of good quality. It is imperative to unfasten and fasten the cover before purchasing.

Covers for scooters are produced by different companies and, of course, differ not only in appearance and quality, but also in price. Many consumers are interested in budget models.
