[0020] Its design not only protects the vehicle, but also helps to extend its lifespan and reduces repair costs, offering a safer and more convenient user experience.

[0021] The preferred deck cover consists of a central section, which, when in use, rests under the deck or platform; two side panels that hug the base of the scooter to cover the user's foot surface; a front flap; and a rear flap. The front and rear flaps protect their respective edges, ensuring complete and secure coverage. These deck cover elements can be fastened together using adjustable closures to cover all visible parts of the deck or platform. It typically includes ventilation vents, usually mesh, in the central section or on the side panels to prevent overheating.

[0022] Additionally, the covers have a non-slip surface on the side covers, which rest on the support surface, ensuring the user's safety when placing their feet while using the vehicle.

[0023] The covers can be designed in different sizes and designs to fit various scooter models and the aesthetic preferences of users. They can have different colors, logos, and designs without affecting their functionality.

[0024] These covers preferably include reflective elements that improve visibility and safety.

[0025] The fastening methods, such as hook and loop straps, zippers, snaps, or cords, ensure a secure fit, while the compact case allows for convenient transport of the covers, for example, attached to the scooter with a carabiner or inside a bag. To use the covers, the user must place the base cover under the scooter, adjusting its various elements. Then, they position the stem cover and join them, securing them with the fastening methods.

[0026] Once fitted, these covers effectively protect against rain, bumps and scratches, while keeping essential controls accessible through strategically placed windows.

[0027] The waterproof and non-slip design ensures both the protection of the electronic components and the safety of the user during use, while the compact case makes it easy to transport and store when not in use.
