Gloves and Protections

Why use gloves and protection for scooters and electric bikes?

When riding an electric vehicle, gloves and other protective gear are as important as wearing a helmet. They are used to protect your body from shocks and possible blows that you may receive during an accident. They also allow you to protect yourself from the cold and bad weather.

In the event of a fall, the hands are often the first in contact with the ground. It is therefore imperative to have a pair of resistant, comfortable and good quality gloves to protect your hands during a collision.

The different gloves and protections for scooters and electric bikes

There are different types of gloves designed for specific activities. To know which types of gloves to opt for, you must know each category. Here are the different types of gloves and protections available on the market.

speed gloves

If you use your electric vehicles for an extreme sport or a simple sporting activity, then you will probably use your scooter at a higher speed than normal. In this specific case, we recommend that you turn to speed gloves. They have thick additional reinforcements to absorb violent shocks. This type of glove is also used by motorcycle drivers for their protective function.

How to choose gloves and protections?

It is important to choose your gloves and other protective accessories correctly to ensure your optimal comfort and safety. To achieve this you must take into account a number of criteria.

First, you need to make sure your pair of gloves is strong enough. So prefer gloves made of leather or Kevlar. You must also ensure that your gloves have sufficiently resistant protections at the wrists and knuckles.

The second point to consider is the comfort of your pair of gloves. They must be designed in such a way as to avoid excessive perspiration by allowing air to pass through. Prefer gloves with silicone gel that allow you to avoid compression of your hands once the glove is on. Also opt for gloves adapted to the season in which you use them.

In other words, you should ensure that you opt for a glove that is sufficiently comfortable, impact resistant and has a good grip on the handlebars as well as good breathability.
