Best on a Budget: Rivmount Winter Gloves 

If you’re looking for complete protection for your hands, COFIT delivers warm, durable gloves that offer extra padding on the knuckle area. With a velcro adjustment for your wrist, it’s easy to tighten and loosen the gloves whenever you need to.

There’s no doubt that these gloves are incredibly warm, but perhaps the unique feature is the metal component on the thumb and index fingers. You can use your touch screen without taking the gloves off, which is a convenient feature that any e-scooter user would find beneficial.

With wear-resistant grips to improve stability and a stylish look, these gloves certainly offer a lot of value for money – but all is not perfect.

The gloves aren’t fully waterproof, which means you might notice small leaks in heavy rain. Overall, they offer many features, but that one slight drawback is something we cannot ignore.

Pros:

• Padding on the knuckle area
• Touch screen compatible
• Wear-resistant grips

Cons:

• Not waterproof

 

Proviz Sports Classic Cycling Gloves

Proviz Sports is renowned for cycling accessories, but the classic waterproof cycling gloves are ideal for e-scooter riders. They have a waterproof outer coating, perfect for the notoriously volatile British weather, as you can guarantee your hands will be kept warm and dry.

A Korean Hipora breathable insert and a fleece lining to provide extra warmth. Other features include a touchscreen compatible material on the first finger and silicone grips to ensure your steering remains stable.

Overall, these gloves offer a lot for their price, and while the touchscreen compatible feature might not be as advanced as other gloves, the fact that they’re waterproof gives these classic Proviz cycling gloves some bonus points.

Pros:

• Waterproof coating
• Breathable inserts
• Microfleece lining

Cons:

• Designs can be quite simple
• Touch screen compatible feature not as advanced as other gloves

 

Cevapro Winter Gloves

Perfect for riding on those cold winter days, these gloves from Cevapro are suitable for people that use electric scooters. The double fleece layering will keep your hands warm at all times, and a significant selling point of these gloves is how waterproof they are.

With an elastic wrist closer, you’ll easily be able to block out the cold weather and water without much effort, and the conductive fabric on the index finger of your glove enables you to use your mobile without removing the gloves.

The palm has silicone particles, which are skid-proof, so you can rest assured that this protective gear won’t let you down if you have an accident.

If you’re looking for a simple, sleek design with lightweight features, then Cevapro has a cost-effective solution.

But what about functionality?

Well, the gloves are designed with functionality in mind, so you can rest assured that there are many winning features. Firstly, you can take advantage of the touchscreen compatible fingertip, which lets you use your mobile whenever you need it.

Silicone particles protect your hands if you fall, and an elastic wrist cuff will retain heat and keep you warm.

Overall, there are better solutions available, but if you’re on a budget, then these gloves won’t let you down.

Despite the battery-powered heating, the gloves are fully waterproof and have an extra insulation layer. They’re also ideal if you have arthritis or Raynaud’s Disease because they offer so much warmth.

With reflective lighting and microsuede grips, these gloves will not only offer extra protection they’re also great for keeping safe at night.

While these heated gloves have many advantages, we can’t overlook the price. You pay for what you get, and if you’re willing to invest in a superior set of gloves, then we’re confident these won’t let you down.

Pros:

• Built-in heating (rechargeable)
• Fully waterproof
• Reflective strips

Cons:

• Expensive

Rivmount Winter Gloves

These gloves are so elegant and sophisticated, and they’re ideal for both men and women. Made with unique stretch fabric, they’re designed to fit perfectly and manage to offer a lot of functionality but are very lightweight to wear.

With snug fit fabric, the gloves will keep your hands warm but never feel heavy – meaning you can benefit from added flexibility. There’s also a conductive element on the thumb and index finger for easy mobile phone use.

We should mention that while the gloves are suitable for electric scooters, they’re designed for runners and don’t have strong grips.

But, if you’re on a budget or are experienced enough to consider wearing electric scooter gloves without extra grips, you’ll love the sleekness of Rivmount’s winter gloves.

Pros:

• They look incredible
• Very comfortable
• Suitable for mobile phones
• Breathable material

Cons:

• There’s a lack of grip features

Fox Dirtpaw Protective Gloves

Younger people will love the design of Fox Dirtpaw gloves, and they come in a range of sizes for anyone aged 6-14. There are adult sizes too, but some people might find the gloves are a bit small, depending on the size they choose.

It’s best to go up a size when you can, so the gloves don’t restrict your movement. Apart from this minor disadvantage, Fox Dirtpaw gloves have all the features you’d expect to see, including touchscreen compatibility, a neoprene cuff too and a hook and loop fastening system to ensure a secure fit.

There are also silicone grips at the fingertips, which gives you extra stability when riding in wet conditions. We need to mention that the gloves don’t have a specifically built-in waterproofing feature, but their secure fit and the outer layers will protect you from mild to moderate rain.

If you’re looking for a pair of gloves that will deliver the basic features you need to ride your electric scooter, and don’t have a lot of money to spare, then the protective gloves from Fox Dirtpaw are a great budget option.

Pros:

• Touchscreen compatible
• Children’s sizes
• Silicone grips

Cons:

• OK waterproofing, but other gloves have better features
• The sizes run small

Tredz Half-Finger Shockproof Gloves

While most electric scooter riders prefer full finger gloves, some prefer the more flexible half finger gloves. Tredz is renowned for manufacturing high-quality bike and scooter accessories, so it’s no surprise that their gloves excel in comfort and grip.

The synthetic suede palm is infused with thin microfiber, which is ideal for providing extra grip, and dual gel pads offer vibration damping, so you’ll be able to enjoy your off-road scooter. There’s also mesh material, which increases breathability and a reflective strip to ensure your safety on the road.

Overall, these gloves are great if you prefer half-finger designs, but they lack some features. There isn’t a great deal of waterproofing, and your fingers will get cold in the winter months. For this reason, we see them more as a hot weather solution, but we’ll let you judge for yourself.

Pros:

• Brilliant grip
• Breathable mesh material
• Vibration Damping

Cons:

• Not ideal for cold weather

Which Scooter Gloves Are Best?

As you can see, there’s no one size fits all when it comes to scooter gloves, which means you can think about which features are most important. The key things to remember are:

• A good grip can protect you from accidents
• Investing in a pair of premium gloves means you’ll benefit from extra durability
• Never underestimate the importance of a comfortable fit.

Community Questions

Should I be concerned about which brand I buy from?

As with most purchases, buying from a reputable brand guarantees you’re getting a quality product, but reputability doesn’t necessarily relate to reach. As the e-scooter market is still emerging, many companies will supply gloves and other equipment.

Buying from a famous brand is always advisable, but it’s equally important to look at the materials, grip and touchscreen compatible features when making a choice. All companies start from somewhere, and you could end up missing out on an excellent pair of gloves.

Are Full Finger or Half Finger Gloves Better?

There’s no doubt that half-finger designs look cool, but they also make your fingers very cold. We recommend choosing full finger gloves for the colder months and experimenting with half finger gloves when the weather warms up.
