In this article we will cover the absolute best EUC gear for 2024 that you can buy. No matter how confident you feel on a EUC, there is always a risk of accident and injury. The saying is, “Dress for the slide, not for the ride,” and we couldn’t agree more.
Just like a seat belt in a car, most of the time you won’t need the safety gear, but for those few times that you do fall or crash, you’ll be glad you had sufficient safety gear.
The key to proper safety gear is buying stuff you will actually wear. In this blog, we will share some of our favorite safety gear choices specifically for EUC riders.

Best EUC Gear For 2024 – Helmets
Predator DH6-Xe
We’ve been wearing Predator helmets for a long time. They are lightweight (and even come in carbon fiber), have multiple visor options, and are generally very comfortable to wear. The newest update of this helmet, the DH6-Xe, comes with a magnetic fidlock, which makes it a breeze to take on and off. Another plus of the Predator helmet is it isn’t difficult to eat and drink with the helmet on due to the placement of the visor.

Ruroc Atlas Core Helmet
This is a full-spec motorcycle helmet. We love the quick release, but taking the helmet on and off is extremely difficult. However, once the helmet is on, it feels like your head is surrounded by pillows.
It is incredibly warm during the winter, and the visor doesn’t have any issues of fogging up in cold weather.
Best EUC Gear For 2024 – Upper Body Protection
Lazy Rolling Jacket/Hoodie
Lazy Rolling makes protective safety gear that is protective, comfortable, and stylish. Our favorite Lazy Rolling products are the upper body protection that come in the form of hoodies and jackets. Andrew loves that the armored jacket is reflective, and super visible on the road in both bright sunlight and at night. The Lazy Rolling jacket is also fitted with back, elbow and shoulder protection if you get in an accident.
The downsides: it can be a little on the pricey side, and the jackets can get hot during the summer.

EVS Elbow Guards
Jimmy ditched the expensive Leatt elbow guards and has gone with the cheap EVS Men’s elbow guards. I’m surprised how many people ask Jimmy where he got his elbow guards, and they are inexpensive Amazon elbow guards. Jimmy loves how quickly he can get them on and they offer a ton of coverage on your elbow and forearm.
Beyond Rider’s Kevlar Mesh Jacket
If you get hot wearing the Lazy Rolling Jacket, the Beyond Rider’s Kevlar Mesh Jacket lets the air pass right through the thin mesh, while still providing excellent protective pads for the elbows, shoulders and back. This is perfect for any warm-weather area.

Best EUC Gear For 2024 – Wrist and Hand Protection
Strongsuit Kevlar Warrior Gloves
Sometimes people mistake these for gardening gloves, but they are actually high-tech safety gloves that are frequently worn by police officers. They have cut-resistance due to the kevlar lining, and don’t detract from finger dexterity. This is great for scooters with trigger throttles like the Dualtron models.
Strongsuit Kevlar Warrior Gloves
1Protect Wrist Protection Winter Gloves
These gloves provide solid wrist protection, and also have a “crash pad” for if you fall and end up sliding on your hands. They are super warm, and are optimal for winter use. They are also touch sensitive!

Demon Flexmeter Wrist Guard Double Sided D3O
The Demon Flexmeter wrist guards offer the best wrist protection on the market. With flexible dorsal thermoplastic it offers amazing protection with a comfortable feel. There are removable skid plates that help your hands skid on the impact with hard surfaces, instead of absorbing it.
The Flexmeter wrist guards are bulky so they sometimes do not fit inside the sleeves of shirts, jackets, and gloves.

Flatland 3D wrist guards
These wrist guards were initially designed for eskate boarders using a remote control. They are very sleek and still allow your hands to move freely without restrictions. Some wrist guards can be bulky and hard to wear when riding an electric scooter.
The Flatland 3D wrist guards can be comfortably worn while riding bicycles or scooters. The biggest downfall to the Flatland 3D wrist guards is they are typically sold out, and don’t offer as much wrist protection as the Demon D3O flexmeter wrist guards.

Best EUC Gear For 2024 – Lower Body Protection
Leatt Dual Axis Knee and Shin Guards
Serious knee injuries can have an lasting effects for the rest of your life. Our favorite knee guards are the Leatt Dual Axis Knee and Shin Guards. Our favorite feature is that you can place them on easily over pants with shoes on.
Most knee guards need to be pulled up so you have to remove your shoes, and they can feel uncomfortable over pants. The Leatt Dual Axis Knee and Shin Guards offer the best coverage and convenience.
Lazy Rolling Armored Jeans
These Lazy Rolling Kevlar-lined jeans are excellent for riding Onewheels, because typically when you fall on a Onewheel you fall directly onto your hip. The Lazy Jeans have hip-protecting pads for just this scenario.

Vans MTE Shoes
These are great shoes. They offer ankle protection, are comfortable to wear, and have great traction. An excellent choice for riding EUCs, because often when you fall off at low speeds your feet are the first thing to hit the ground.

Brake Free Light
The Brake Free Light is a great addition to any helmet for multiple reasons. Firstly, it’s removable, so only need one of them, regardless of how many helmets you have in your collection. The Brake Free light is super bright, and is effective even during the day at alerting cars of your presence. Specifically when riding EUCs, the built-in light is very low to the ground, so having a light higher up is crucial for safety. The Brake Free light comes with an awesome motion-dectecing feature that starts flashing as soon as you slow down.

Grizzla Pads
A lot of Begode wheels don’t come with much protection around the body of the EUC itself. If you have a bad crash, the wheel is pretty much going to get destroyed. Adding these pads gives the battery a lot of protection if your EUC goes tumbling down a hill. Another great thing about these pads is they come with a key, which enables you to “remember” certain pad settings in case you have multiple riders using the same wheel.

Clark Pads Pedals
Even if you can’t afford to upgrade your EUC every time the newest model comes out, you can still pimp out your existing ride. We love the Clark Pads Pedals, which are weigh lighter than most stock EUC pedals, and just as durable. They have tons of color options, and size options for if you are racing, riding off-road, etc.
Able Carry Backpack
I wear this whenever I ride, and it fits all of my essentials. It is super lightweight.
Compact Multitool
Any time you’re on the go with a PEV, it’s good to have a multitool. We like this one because it’s durable and has lots of tool options.
Valve Stem Extender
On EUCs and Scooters sometimes it’s tough to get into the Valve Stem, depending on the design, and this extender enables easy air filling in any circumstance.
Dragy GPS tracking
We use this for all of our speed runs. It connects to satellites to provide super-accurate speed data.
Suspension Pump
A few years ago, there were almost zero EUCs on the market with suspension, but now almost the opposite is true. This suspension pump is great to have on hand to top up the air on my EUCs.
Finger Dinger
Sometimes on an EUC, you don’t want to keep yelling “on your left” or “on your right”. That’s where the Finger Dinger comes in handy – it fits right on your hand, is easy to use, and is the perfect volume for alerting pedestrians without being annoying.
Armor-Dilloz Tire Sealant
Jimmy and I first learned about Armor-Dilloz from riding Onewheels. Onewheels have always been shipped with green Slime standard in the tire. Onewheel riders kept getting flats even with the Slime.
Armor-Dilloz’s CEO, Cory Boehne, saw a huge problem and created a solution. Cory found a tire sealant made with ballistic fibers and rubber platelets used in the tires of military vehicles. Cory has adjusted the formula to be specific to tire size, type, and speed.
Armor-Dilloz has helped me fix a few flats, so I could get back on the road quickly. I like to carry a bottle with me just in case I run into a hairy situation. Make sure to carry a pump because a bottle of Armor-Dilloz is worthless without air.
