Always wear one—even for short rides. Most rentals include a helmet, but if you're picky about fit, comfort, or hygiene, bringing your own travel helmet can be worth it.
Helmet
Â
The Bali sun is stronger than many first-time visitors expect. Protect your skin, even on cloudy days.
Sunscreen
Â
Cuts glare from the road and makes riding much more comfortable in bright sunlight.
Polarized Sunglasses
Â
Helps protect your arms from the sun without making you feel too hot.
Lightweight UV Jacket
Â
A great alternative to heavy jackets, especially if you're exploring all day.
Breathable Long-Sleeve Shirt
Â
Keeps your essentials close to you and leaves both hands free while riding.
Secure Crossbody Bag
Â
Makes navigation much easier without constantly stopping to check directions.
Waterproof Phone Mount
Â
An extra layer of security in case your phone slips from your hand.
Phone Lanyard
Â
Google Maps drains battery fast. A backup charger is a lifesaver.
Portable Power Bank
Â
Stay hydrated—Bali's heat can be exhausting after hours on a scooter.
Reusable Insulated Water Bottle 💧
Â
Perfect for cooling down after long rides or sightseeing.
Cooling Towel
Â
Your lips can get surprisingly dry from sun and wind.
Lip Balm with SPF 💋
Â
Sudden tropical showers are common, even during the dry season.
Lightweight Rain Poncho
Â
Keeps your phone, wallet, and electronics safe if it rains.
Waterproof Dry Bag
Â
Useful for small cuts, scrapes, or blisters during your adventures.
Handy for cleaning hands or wiping down shared helmet liners.
Alcohol Wipes
Â
Helpful if you're sensitive to winding roads around Ubud or the mountains.
Motion Sickness Bands
Â
Dries quickly and takes up almost no space.
Microfiber Travel Towel
Â
Always useful after fuel stops, markets, or street food.
Hand Sanitizer
Â
Great for freshening up after a hot ride.
Wet Wipes
Â
A game changer if you'll be riding for hours in warm weather.
Anti-Chafing Stick
Â
Especially important if you'll be out around sunset.
Mosquito Repellent 🦟
Â
Choose footwear that won't slip when stopping or parking.
Comfortable Sandals with Good Grip
Â
Ideal if you're planning longer rides or visiting waterfalls and viewpoints.
Lightweight Sneakers
Â
Helmet hair is real. A hair tie makes it easy to freshen up after your ride.
Hair Tie
Â
If you notice locals wearing gloves, there's a good reason. They help protect your hands from the intense sun, reduce fatigue on longer rides, and give you a better grip on the handlebars.
Lightweight Riding Gloves
Â
Bali's roads can get dusty, especially near construction areas or busy streets. A lightweight, breathable mask helps filter dust, blocks some of the sun and wind, and makes longer rides much more comfortable.
