Mandatory and Recommended Equipment for Electric Scooters

Electric scooters have become one of the most popular urban transport solutions across Europe. However, many riders are unaware that beyond having a certified scooter, proper equipment is essential for safety and legal compliance.

Whether you ride a lightweight urban scooter like the Joyor LiteGo, a commuter model such as the Joyor C10, or a more powerful option like the Joyor Y10 or S-PRO, having the correct equipment improves both safety and riding comfort.

In this guide, we explain what equipment is mandatory, what is recommended, and how to ride safely according to Spanish regulations — with practical advice applicable across the EU.

Mandatory Equipment According to Regulations

Currently, national regulations focus mainly on vehicle certification and safe circulation. However, local authorities may impose additional requirements.

The most common mandatory elements include:

Lighting system

All Joyor scooters — including LiteGo, C10, Y10 and S-PRO — incorporate front and rear lighting systems designed to meet visibility requirements.

Your scooter must have:

• Front white light
• Rear red light
• Reflective elements

These ensure visibility in low-light conditions and at night.

Audible warning device

A bell or horn is required to alert pedestrians and other road users.

Joyor urban models include integrated warning systems suitable for city riding.

Certified scooter identification

If your scooter is registered, it must display the official identification plate visibly.

The versions approved by the DGT and ABE of Joyor include the factory identification plate required for registration.

Helmet

Helmet use is legally required when riding a personal mobility vehicle (VMP).

Beyond legal compliance, wearing a helmet significantly reduces the risk of serious head injuries in case of falls or collisions.

Choosing a certified, properly fitted helmet is essential for both safety and comfort during daily commuting.

Visibility: One of the Most Important Safety Factors

Many accidents occur due to low visibility, not speed.

Scooters used for commuting — such as LiteGo and C10 — often operate in traffic environments, making visibility crucial.

Tips to improve visibility:

• Use additional lights
• Wear reflective accessories
• Avoid dark clothing at night
• Install wheel or deck LED lights

Comfort Equipment for Daily Riders

If you use your scooter daily, comfort matters as much as safety.

Urban models like Joyor LiteGo and C10 already provide:

• Stable riding platforms
• Ergonomic handlebars
• Practical portability

Additional accessories that improve comfort:

• Phone holder
• Suspension upgrades
• Wider tires
• Anti-slip deck

EU Perspective: Certification and Safety

Across Europe, regulations focus on:

• Speed limits (usually 25 km/h)
• Vehicle certification
• Lighting and visibility

Joyor certified models are designed to comply with these evolving requirements, helping riders stay prepared for future regulations.

Final Thoughts

Riding with proper equipment is not just about avoiding fines — it is about:

✔ Safety
✔ Comfort
✔ Confidence
✔ Legal peace of mind

Whether you ride a LiteGo for daily commuting or a Y10 for longer trips, investing in the right gear makes every ride better.
