Chocolates, flowers, a nice card… Of course these are all perfectly fine gifts to give your mom on Mother’s Day, but let’s face it, they’re a little tired. Go a different route this year and surprise your motorcycle-riding mother with something a little more thoughtful. Motorcycle parts and accessories make her life as a rider or passenger a little more comfortable, or safe, or fun. There’s something for every motorcycle mom in our 10 gift selections.
GloveTacts: $14.99
GloveTacts make any pair of gloves touchscreen compatible. These stickers can be placed anywhere on the glove where compatibility is needed, and are made with a dural polyurethane film. A pack of six is only $15 bucks and they’ll make things like snapping a photo, taking a call, or texting so much more convenient during a ride stop. Your mom will thank you, we promise.
Burt’s Bees Tips and Toes Kit: $12.99
The Burt’s Bees Tips and Toes Kit makes it possible for your mom to have a little moment of self-care after a long ride. It comes with hand creams, foot cream, lip balm, and cuticle cream, all in containers small enough to easily fit in a jacket pocket, tank bag, or saddlebag. Each item uses natural ingredients and comes in recyclable packaging. It won’t break the bank by any means and will let your mom know you care.
Cardo Systems Freecom 4x Duo: $499.95
If you want to go in the other direction and drop some more serious cash, consider a new Cardo Systems Freecom 4x Duo communicator pack. This set of communicators utilizes Bluetooth 5.2 universal connectivity, has an auto-reconnect intercom and HD audio, JBL speakers, automatic volume control, 13 hours of talk time, FM radio, is able to conduct over-the-air updates, and comes with Natural Voice operation. It’s an awesome gift that will definitely elevate your mom’s next ride.
TCX Lady Sport: $119.99
Give your mom some stylish new footwear with the TCX Lady Sport riding shoes. They are made from a suede leather upper and feature an Air Tech mesh breathable liner. The malleolus area is reinforced, as are the heels and toes. The OrthoLite footbed makes the Lady Sport shoes nice and comfortable off bike, and the rubber outsoles provide ample grip on the pegs, whether she’s in the rider or passenger seat.
Apple AirTag: $29.00+
There’s nothing worse than misplacing an essential item on the road. So if your mom is one of the millions of iPhone users in this country, an Apple AirTag might be just the right gift this Mother’s Day. She can attach it to her bike keys, keep it in her wallet, or even stash one somewhere on her bike. She’ll never lose track of her belongings again. And if she’s particularly forgetful, picking up two or three still won’t make a huge dent in your wallet.
Shoei RF-SR: $449.99
Another big-ticket item to consider for the mom who rides is a new helmet, and Shoei’s RF-SR is a great mid-point between high performance and affordable price. Shoei lids can run you up some serious dough, but the RF-SR keeps things approachable with its $449.99 price tag. Still, this helmet ain’t some cheap knockoff. It’s built with Shoei’s Multi-Ply Matrix AIM+ shell, features a dual-density EPS liner, has a remarkably comfortable interior lining system, and is Snell 2020 and DOT certified for safety. Plenty of sizes mean you’ll be able to find the perfect fit as well.
Green Jade Bracelet: $19.90
This one’s a little cheesy, but there are loads of moms out there who are totally into crystals, healing gemstones, revitalizing energies, all that stuff. If that’s the case for your mom, then consider this green jade bracelet. She’ll know that jade is traditionally believed to promote good luck and good fortune. She can wear this under her glove and feel you rooting for her safe return every time she goes out for a ride.
Alpinestars Tech-Air 5: $749.95
This is the biggie on the list, but if you want your mom to know there’s no price too high for you to help keep her safe on the road, then you’ll want to look into the Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 airbag system. This is a self-contained unit, meaning she can wear it under any riding jacket as long as there’s enough clearance inside. It provides instant protection to the shoulders, chest, ribs, and back when it deploys and decreases impact force by up to 93 percent when compared to comparable CE-rated protectors. Plus, it’s Bluetooth compatible and easy to use. She’ll be stoked with this one, that’s for sure.
The MotoLady’s Book of Women Who Ride: $14.99–$30.00
Alicia Mariah Elfving is a pioneer in women’s motorcycling today, and her book The MotoLady’s Book of Women Who Ride celebrates a vast array of notable female riders. This book is great if your mom is into history, motorcycles, female riders, the history of female motorcycle riders, or is simply into some rad photography and compelling stories.
Treblab Z7 Pro Headphones: $159.97
The Treblab Z7 Pro headphones are a great gift for the mom who wants to have a little me time off the bike. They are noise canceling and provide top-tier sound quality. They offer up to 45 hours of battery life on a single charge and have seamless touch control functions built in. She’ll also be able to connect to Bluetooth and answer calls, or utilize the active voice assistant function as well.
