Here are a few essentials and two-wheeler accessories you cannot miss to carry with you on bike trips.
1. Essential Documents
Bike documents are must-haves for any road trip or even while driving generally. These include a driver's license, registration certificate, bike insurance, PUCC, etc. Moreover, you need to keep all essential documents safely in one place. Nowadays, there is a government-approved Digi-locker where you save digital copies of your documents, such as your license, PUC, bike insurance, etc.
2. Spare helmet
Carry spare helmets with you. In case your helmet gets damaged during the trip, it is always a good option to have a spare one.
3. Bluetooth headset
Taking your phone out while riding a bike is never a good idea. Bluetooth headsets allow you to pick up important calls without getting your hands off the bike handle. Remember to wear Bluetooth earphones in one ear to be able to hear external voices. Also, Bluetooth is a great means to help you navigate the GPS.

You never know when your phone batteries will run out on the road. So, a power bank is essential to carry with you on your trip. Charge it whenever you can or need it.
