2022-08-12

Buying a car is the first step for a knight to formally enter the world of motorcycles. After a lot of hard work, he finally obtained a license plate and carefully selected and bought his first motorcycle. The feeling of excitement and nervousness like first love suddenly came to my heart. But like dating, partners bring not only love and happiness, but also responsibilities. Be a responsible car owner and take good care of your car. Appropriate equipment and accessories may help you and make your journey longer. Today we will take stock of the must-buy accessories for a new car. In the future, when friends buy a car, remember to remind them to buy all these accessories to protect their car and improve driving safety.

PK glue protects the car body from damage when it falls

The most feared thing about the two reels is that the car will fall. In addition to personal injury, the car will inevitably be damaged. The body shell can be replaced if it is scratched. If the engine is damaged, the maintenance process is much more complicated. Therefore, for novices, PK glue (anti-drop glue) or a protective frame can be said to be an indispensable protective accessory, which can also reduce damage to the vehicle in the event of an unfortunate fall.

PK glue is composed of a pair of cylindrical or spherical rubber, plus a central axis that runs through the body, and can be installed near the front fork, engine or rear load of the body. When the vehicle falls to the ground, the PK glue will become the first stress point on the ground, avoiding direct friction between the vehicle body and the ground. Due to the small size of the PK glue, it has little effect on the appearance of the vehicle after installation. However, as the only point of force when it hits the ground, it can only provide limited protection for the vehicle. Possible damage to the vehicle's body. In addition, it should be noted that the PK glue is made of rubber, and it may be worn away when the car falls. When the part of the PK glue protruding from the car body becomes shorter, it may need to be replaced to maintain its protective effect.

The cage is more rigid and more comprehensive in protection

If you want more comprehensive protection, you can consider installing a protective frame. The protective frame is made of metal, which is more rigid and can also cover the body in a large area to avoid injury to the body when the car falls. Most of the vehicles that you rent when you learn to drive are equipped with protective frames. However, due to the addition of metal strips on the periphery of the body, the appearance of the vehicle will inevitably be affected, and the protruding parts may also make the body wider and heavier. Cavaliers can choose suitable protective components according to driving habits and needs, and achieve a balance between appearance and protective performance.

Car loading cam is the first choice for safety and good night vision function

The so-called "there is a picture and the truth", and film is naturally closer to the truth. When an unfortunate traffic accident occurs or an accident occurs during driving, a car cam clip can be the key evidence for your exemption at any time, and it can also avoid communication with other road users. It is an embarrassing situation with the same nose, so the car cam has to be installed.

A driving recorder with good performance should be able to clearly take pictures of the road conditions and the license plates of the front and rear cars even at night when the lights are dim or in rainy days. You should also pay attention to the location where you install the lens. You should avoid locations that vibrate too much or are easily touched by other parts of the car body, so as not to affect the shooting quality. The main unit of the car cam should avoid getting wet as much as possible to increase the service life, such as placing it under the seat is a good choice. In addition, due to the limited battery capacity of the motorcycle, the car cam should be connected to the key ignition instead of the log fire, that is, the car cam will only start when the car is on, and the car cam will also be powered off when the key is off, so as to prevent the car battery from being damaged during parking. The car cam was exhausted, and I couldn't start the car afterward. Since the installation of the car cam involves taking power and wiring, it is recommended to go to a reliable garage and ask the master to install it on your behalf to ensure safety.

Action cameras are limited to being used as car cams

Some riders choose to add sports cameras such as GoPro or Insta360 to their helmets as car cams. The shooting quality of an action cam is of course beyond compare, but due to the limitation of the shooting angle, a single action cam may not be able to take care of both front and rear at the same time. This type of sports camcorder may not have a loop recording function, that is, after the SD card is full, the oldest clips will be automatically deleted to make room for continuous recording. Under the circumstances, the video recording was stopped in the middle of driving. In addition, pay attention to the battery life. Generally, sports cameras can only record continuously for one to two hours at most, and the battery life may drop further at high temperatures. If you want to drive for a long time, you may need to carry a backup battery for replacement.

You can choose the size of the car's dust-proof block and stains according to the car model

To take good care of your car, a well-fitting car is of course indispensable. Not every rider can find an indoor parking space for his car. If he parks outdoors without using a garage, the car body will be directly washed by rainwater in rainy days, and metal parts such as chains will also rust quickly. Even on sunny days, if there is no protection from the car cover, fallen leaves, sundries, and even the most annoying bird droppings will fall on the car body at any time and stain the car. For indoor parking, we also recommend covering the car cover to prevent dust and keep the car clean. However, when encountering a typhoon, remember not to get out of the car, so as not to increase the risk of falling.

Clothes are divided into sizes, and cars are also divided into sizes. Riders should choose the appropriate size of the car according to the different car models and whether there is an additional trunk. Different brands of bicycles use different materials and thicknesses. Thinner ones are easier to store and carry, while thicker ones have better waterproof performance. Riders can choose according to their needs. If you are not sure about the size and style of your car, you can also ask the store staff.

Parking safety is the first installation of disc lock GPS foolproof

Safety is of course the first priority when driving on the road. When parking in a car park or in a parking lot, you must also pay attention to safety and take adequate anti-theft measures to prevent your car from being stolen by criminals. Locks are the simplest and most effective anti-theft tool. Cavaliers can install disc locks on their cars, and chains can be used to enhance security in the parking lot. Thieves generally take easy things rather than difficult ones, and when they see these locks, they will naturally be deterred. Some disk locks are even equipped with alarm devices, which will automatically ring when they are moved, further enhancing security. In order to prevent reckless riders from forgetting to unlock and drive the brake disc, we also recommend choosing brightly colored disc locks to improve recognition. When in use, also install a reminder rope and wear it on the handlebar. It will naturally remember to unlock.

In addition to locks, riders can also use GPS trackers to strengthen security. Once the car is stolen, the location of the car can also be tracked using the mobile phone application, increasing the chance of finding the car. Earlier, a motorcycle YouTuber’s car was stolen in an urban area. Fortunately, the car was equipped with a GPS tracker, and the car was finally found in Shek Kong, avoiding the loss. Installing a GPS tracking device is like buying insurance. It may not be necessary at ordinary times, but it can be of great use in case of emergencies. Cavaliers may wish to consider it.

In terms of helmets, if the rider does not want to carry the helmet with him and has not installed a tail box, he can choose to be equipped with a lock to lock the helmet in the vehicle to prevent thieves from stealing it. There are many types of locks for helmets, each with its own advantages. For example, the star lock is more space-saving, while the digital lock does not need to carry an additional key. Knights can buy according to their personal preferences.

NetEase assembles and disassembles the rear seat and transforms it into a cargo space

The storage space of motorcycles is inherently limited, but many riders, especially the owners of porphyrins, worry that the installation of the rear box will affect the appearance of the vehicle, making the car almost have no storage or cargo capacity. We recommend that riders buy a storage net when their new car lands, which can add a certain amount of storage space and can be removed when it is not needed, so as to maintain the stylish appearance of the car, killing two birds with one stone. The storage net is elastic, and it can be tied to different positions of the body with several hooks so that objects of different sizes can be firmly tied to the rear seat. However, the storage net will gradually become loose and lose its elasticity after a long period of use. Therefore, it is necessary to check the status of the storage net from time to time. When it becomes old, consider replacing it with a new one to prevent items from flying off during driving.

The mobile phone holder should be equipped with shock-absorbing accessories to avoid damage to the lens

Novices are not familiar with the roads, daily commuting, entering and exiting gas stations, and even looking for parking spaces. It is easy to go wrong in a busy city, and often requires the assistance of a navigation system. After the mobile phone holder is installed, the mobile phone can be placed on the front of the car, which is convenient to take into account the road conditions and navigation instructions when driving and arriving at the destination with the correct route. There are different installation and fixing methods for mobile phone holders. Common ones can be installed on handlebars, the triangle stands or rear mirrors, etc. Riders can choose according to the type of vehicle. Riders should also pay attention to whether the shock-absorbing performance of the mobile phone holder is good. If necessary, shock-absorbing accessories can be added to prevent the mobile phone lens from being shaken and malfunctioning due to bumpy roads while driving. Some mobile phone holders can also be equipped with wireless charging accessories to charge the mobile phone while driving, which is more convenient to use.

Bluetooth headset has a wide range of functions, one person listens to music and multiple people talk

Finally, there is a helmet Bluetooth headset. To be honest, this is not a must, but we still strongly recommend that novice riders install Bluetooth headsets. Cavaliers can use the voice function to listen to navigation instructions, reduce the chance of being distracted by looking at the map, and improve driving safety. At the same time, Bluetooth headsets can also provide entertainment for riders when driving. When driving alone, you can listen to music or listen to the radio to relieve boredom. It can also remind each other of road conditions and improve driving safety.

The performance of instant messaging often depends on the stability of the Bluetooth headset receiving and sending signals, so it is very important to choose a Bluetooth headset with good performance and a long connection distance. Some higher-end Bluetooth headsets will use dynamic network communication (DMC) to connect multiple Bluetooth devices to each other, and the reception will be faster and more stable. question. In addition, since the helmet will be exposed to the sun and the sun twice, the helmet Bluetooth headset must also have good waterproof performance to ensure that it can be used normally in rainy days and will not malfunction due to water entry.
