A motorcycle, scooter or moped needs more than just fuel and a valid driving licence. Protection from rain, correct tyre pressure and properly tightened bolts all have a direct impact on everyday use. Yet many products are difficult to compare. A low price can be tempting, but the wrong size, unclear compatibility or missing certification can quickly make a purchase impractical.
This guide will help you choose the right motorcycle accessories and maintenance equipment. You’ll find key points to consider for protection, riding gear, measuring equipment and maintenance tools, along with a selection of products for different needs.
For a motorcycle cover, dashboard or tyre pressure gauge, “universal” doesn’t mean that every model is suitable without checking first. For a cover, check the length, width and height. For a digital motorcycle dashboard, you’ll also need to check the voltage, plug connection, communication method and mounting dimensions.
A dashboard may fit physically but still not work with your vehicle’s wiring or controller. That’s why the product description for a universal dashboard rightly notes that its functions may depend on your vehicle’s configuration.
Specifications such as “waterproof”, “high accuracy” or “ECE 22.06” need to be considered in context. For a motorcycle helmet, check that the official marking is actually present on the product. For tools, the measuring range and correct drive size matter more than a general claim about precision.
According to MoveCrab’s product information, certain digital torque wrenches have a stated accuracy of ±2%. This is a manufacturer’s product specification. You should also follow the instructions and check that the range covers the values in your motorcycle’s manual.
A torque wrench that gets damp, a chain breaker that doesn’t match your chain size or a tyre pump with a flat battery won’t be much use when you’re carrying out maintenance. So check not only what’s included in the box, but also:
Choosing a waterproof motorcycle cover starts with taking measurements. Check the motorcycle’s overall length, the height of the handlebars and the space needed for the mirrors. A cover that’s too small will leave parts of the vehicle exposed; one that’s too large may flap in the wind.
Also look for:
Let the exhaust cool completely before putting the cover on. Only fold it away when it’s dry to help prevent damp and mould during storage.
A motorcycle helmet should fit snugly without creating pressure points. Measure your head circumference and compare it with the brand’s size chart. A modular or flip-up helmet can be practical for everyday use, but check whether the chin bar is suitable for your intended riding position, according to the product information.
When choosing a motorcycle helmet with ECE 22.06, check:
The MY-935 product listing specifies ECE R 22.06, an ABS outer shell and sizes from XS to XXL. Always check the current product marking and size information before buying.
Three measurements are particularly useful for motorcycle maintenance:
A digital torque wrench with a range of 1.5–30 Nm is particularly useful for smaller fixings. For heavier-duty jobs, a 6.8–135 Nm model is more suitable. Use the value given in your motorcycle’s maintenance manual, and don’t exceed the wrench’s maximum range.
A digital motorcycle tyre pressure gauge is handy for checking your tyres before a ride. An electric tyre pump can then be used to adjust the pressure at home or on the road. Check that the pump supports the right valve: motorcycles usually use a Schrader valve, but check your vehicle to be sure.
Why it suits this type of rider: This cover is suitable for scooter, Vespa, dirt bike or road motorcycle owners who park outdoors and want to check the fit before buying.
The dimensions are clearly listed. Before buying, check that 245 x 105 x 125 cm will fit over the handlebars, mirrors and rear of your vehicle.
Water-repellent coating, windproof buckles, elasticated straps and openings for a lock, according to the product description.
Why it suits this type of rider: Riders who value a flip-up design, dual visor and a choice of sizes can compare these specifications to find the right helmet.
The product listing states ECE R 22.06. Check the physical ECE marking, size and fit before using the helmet.
Flip-up design, ABS outer shell, dual visor and sizes from XS to XXL, according to the product specifications.
Why it suits this type of rider: This model is designed for DIY mechanics who regularly work on motorcycles, cars or bicycles and need a wider torque range.
The 6.8–135 Nm range is clearly stated, so you can check it in advance and avoid using the wrench outside its suitable measuring range.
1/2-inch ratchet head, LED display, selectable measurement units, and vibration, light and sound alerts, according to the product information.
Why it suits this type of rider: Handy for motorcyclists and scooter riders who want to check and adjust tyre pressure quickly at home, on the road or in a garage.
The pump has separate modes and adjustable pressure. Check the recommended pressure for your motorcycle’s tyres before setting it.
Cordless design, LCD screen, automatic stop and support for Schrader and Presta adapters, according to the product description.
We’ve put together a full, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and current European safety regulations.
Start with a well-fitting motorcycle cover, a tyre pressure gauge and some basic tools. A compact electric tyre pump can be handy for commuting. If you carry out your own maintenance, you’ll also need suitable sockets, a torque wrench and, if necessary, motorcycle chain tools.
Check the pressure when the tyres are cold, if possible, and follow the figures in your manual or on the motorcycle’s sticker. It’s also a good idea to check before longer rides, after the motorcycle has been standing for a while, and whenever its handling feels different.
Not for every simple job, but you will need one when the manufacturer specifies a particular tightening torque. A digital torque wrench makes it easy to read the set Nm value. Always choose a model whose range covers the value you need, and store the tool somewhere dry, following the instructions.
