Hook-and-Whoosh: a belt for smoother, safer scooter rides

2 min read • June 3, 2025

Ever found yourself struggling to balance grocery bags while riding your scooter? We’ve all been there: the anxiety of dropping something mid-ride, and the realisation your scooter just doesn’t have the space you need.

Introducing the Hook-and-Whoosh — a solution for smoother, safer scooter rides.

The Dilemma: Scooter vs. bags

Imagine this: you’re ready to ride, but your bags are ready to take a tumble. Here’s a rundown of some common predicaments:

  • Shoulder load: Balancing everything on one shoulder? Unless you have Hulk-strength, those straps are probably going to slip. 
  • Scooter attachment: Thinking of hooking bags onto the handlebars? That’s a recipe for trouble when you hit a bump.
  • Leg placement: Stashing bags between your legs? Let’s just say that’s neither smart nor safe.

Enter the Hook-and-Whoosh Belt

The Hook-and-Whoosh is here to transform that unsafe experience. With special attachment points to hold your bags securely, you can focus on enjoying the ride. Strap it on, attach your bags, and you’re ready to roll.

What’s so special about the Hook-and-Whoosh?

This isn’t just a belt; it’s a fully loaded carrying system built for the modern commuter.

1. Sturdy, durable design:

  • Made from upcycled fabric.
  • Reinforced stitching ensures the belt can handle heavy loads without causing wear and tear.

2. Adjustable fit:

  • Customisable tie-back design allows the belt to fit snugly around your hips or waist, accommodating different body sizes and preferences.
  • Adjustable height for optimal comfort and balance while riding.

5. Multi-functional design:

  • You’re not limited to bags — the belt can hold water bottles, umbrellas, or even portable speakers using the same hook system.
