If you look at your perfectly functional machine and immediately start thinking about what can be added, this article is for you. Niko, a team member at Voro Motors, is the same type of rider. When the Freshly Charged team visited Voro's shop, the accessories on his Kaabo scooter stopped them in their tracks. Andrew and Jimmy walked through everything Niko had done to the build, and the result is a practical guide to the most useful (and occasionally most ridiculous) ways to upgrade your machine.

The Functional Stuff
Before we get to the fun stuff, we're starting with the basics. Niko has a Voro Motors phone holder mounted on his bars, and it earns a strong endorsement from Andrew specifically because it does not feel sketchy. When your phone costs over a thousand dollars, a holder that actually grips it is a necessity. Alongside that, a handlebar extender gives you the real estate to run multiple accessories without the cockpit feeling crowded.
Two more accessories in this category are less about style, and more about keeping you rolling. The Voro Motors Doctor Orange Tire Sealant is a portable flat prevention solution that seals punctures from nails, glass, and road debris on the fly. A brake bleeding kit rounds out the practical toolkit; hydraulic brakes pick up air bubbles over time, which causes that spongy, unreliable feel at the lever. The bleeding kit fixes it simply, and it's one of those maintenance items that becomes obvious the first time you actually need it.
The Fun Stuff
Now for the accessories that are harder to justify on paper, but impossible to resist in person. The Voro Motors Rubber Ducky is exactly what it sounds like: a duck mounted to your handlebar extender that spins its propeller at speed, lights up, and functions as a most adorable horn. Andrew calls it his favorite accessory in the video, which speaks volumes. The logic holds, though. A pleasant duck horn is a lot friendlier on a shared path than a sharp automotive-style beep.
The steering damper on Niko's build is another add-on that sits somewhere between want and need. The Wolf King GT is already stable at high speed. Niko admits the damper is purely a peace-of-mind item for when he is riding one-handed, which Andrew duly notes is not something Freshly Charged recommends. For riders who push the top end of their scooter's speed range, however, the extra confidence at the bars is worth the money.
Mirrors and Seat
Niko runs a mirror on just one side, positioned to cover his left since that is the lane he monitors when riding. The mirror he has is flexible and adjustable but starts to fight the wind at higher speeds, which will only affect some riders. Voro carries a more aerodynamic half-scallop shaped mirror that holds up better at speed, and Andrew's recommendation is straightforward: the round flexible mirror works fine for slower commuter scooters like the Emove Cruiser or Emove Touring, and the rigid scallop-shaped version is the better call for anything fast like the Wolf King GT.
The Wolf Throne seat is a Voro Motors reinforced seat option built to accommodate the Wolf King GT's tall handlebar height. It is plush, stable, and has the secondary benefit of being a convenient parking spot for a U-lock.
Tires and Deck Customization
On the tire side, Voro offers two interesting options at opposite ends of the spectrum. Their racing slick tires run a PMT-style tread pattern and are made from rubber rather than nylon, giving better grip and road feel for riders who want performance-focused contact patches. On the other end entirely, studded winter tires are available for riders in colder climates who want to keep riding through snow and ice. Fair warning on those: do not wheel them through your house—hardwood floors will show the evidence.
For Dualtron owners specifically, glow-in-the-dark acrylic deck panels let you replace or layer under your existing deck, creating an edge glow effect that Andrew refers to as "bolt bling." It is purely aesthetic, but it sure does look sharp.
The Freshly Charged Verdict
As shown here, accessories can make an already great scooter more functional, fun, and safe. For the full catalog of what is available, voromotors.com is the place to browse.
