Tools and Cleaning Products
Essential items that every rider can use! Do you know someone who just bought a motorcycle and doesn’t have everything at home yet to maintain, clean, or protect their motorcycle? With one of these gifts from RAD, you’re guaranteed to score points.
Tools
Every rider will need tools sooner or later, whether it’s for maintenance or replacing a cosmetic part. Good tools are bought only once. So why not gift tools?
We have a 46-piece tool kit available from BGS Technic, this case contains everything you need and is perfect for beginning mechanics.

Cleaning Products
Riders are proud of their motorcycle. It would be a pity if their motorcycle couldn’t shine as the beautiful machine it is. Cleaning is more than just going over the motorcycle with a sponge and cleaning product. For the true motorcycle enthusiast, it’s a moment to admire the lines of the motorcycle while they clean it with great care.
Choose to surprise them with a fun cleaning kit from Muc-Off. The products stand out and the motorcycle will be clean in no time. Muc-Off has put together the following two kits.
MUC-OFF Motorcycle Essentials Kit
All essential products to clean your motorcycle
MUC-OFF Ultimate Motorcycle Care Kit
The ultimate care kit with motorcycle cleaning products, complete with brushes, microfiber cloth, and handy storage box
Intercom Systems and Navigation
For riders with a fully equipped workspace and a motorcycle that shines like new, there are more than enough gifts.
Intercom System
For riders who enjoy riding with a good soundtrack on the go or want to communicate with friends during group rides, a motorcycle intercom is a great gift. Check out our blogs about Cardo and Sena intercom systems or use our convenient intercom choice aid to give the perfect intercom system gift.
Motorcycle GPS or Smartphone Holder
A motorcycle is the fastest way to adventure. Of course, you want to take the most enjoyable routes on your way to your destination.
TomTom Rider motorcycle gps
The TomTom Rider 550 does much more than just guide you from A to B. You can plan out entire routes while specifying how you prefer to do this. Do you enjoy fun turns as much as I do while avoiding the highway, or do you want to seek out as many height differences as possible? The TomTom Rider 550 allows you to set these parameters. This way, you are guaranteed a fun route. The maps are provided with all kinds of useful info, such as gathering points for riders, motorcycle museums, hotels, and even hotels that specialize in hosting riders. The perfect addition for anyone wanting to travel by motorcycle!
TomTom Rider 550
Practical motorcycle gps that takes you where you want to go, ideal for riders with big travel plans
Smartphone Holders
Riders who don’t care about all that information and smart route planning from TomTom, can be made happy with a smartphone holder. If you know what smartphone they have or what the size is of their smartphone, you can narrow down the choice and give them a smartphone holder as a gift. Is all this too overwhelming? Then read our SP Connect smartphone holders blog or our RAM Mounts blog to make the right choice.
The safest gift, a motorcycle airbag
Since I bought a motorcycle, I have been told countless times that riding is dangerous. So why not give a gift that enhances the safety of a rider? A motorcycle airbag is the safest garment to wear while riding.
It’s a fantastic idea to pool together with family or friends to buy someone a motorcycle airbag. This way, you’re sure they can still join you at the table next year!
This technology has made some serious advancements in recent years, read all about it in our motorcycle airbag blog.
Gifts for next to the motorcycle
Not every original gift has to be suitable for use while riding a motorcycle. Some gifts can be used next to the motorcycle to show that everyone is dealing with a rider. They serve as a daily reminder of what they love to do, while they think of the person who gave them this gift. The following gifts fall under this category.
Caps, beanies and T-shirts
A classic cap or a trucker cap with an embroidered Alpinestars or Dainese logo is ideal for hiding your favorite rider’s messy hair. If you want to complete the outfit, you can also add a T-shirt. There are plenty of T-shirts to choose from.
Decoration for riders
Nostalgic Art makes fun collectibles under the official license of various manufacturers. Fun to give and to receive!
Tin signs for setting up the workshop
There are Nostalgic Art tin signs available in different sizes, ready to decorate the walls of their workshop or cave with their favorite motorcycle brand. There are wall signs with a modern or vintage print of BMW, Ducati, Goodyear, Harley-Davidson, Honda, Kawasaki, Michelin, Moto Guzzi, Triumph, and Vespa.
A mug to drink coffee from every morning
Anyone who has ever received a coffee mug gift knows that it is a small but appreciated present. Many riders are attached to their daily mug of coffee or tea when they get up. Anyone who receives such a nice mug as a gift will think (consciously or unconsciously) of the person who gave them this mug every morning. At home, I have several gifted mugs and I enjoy drinking my coffee from them every morning.
If you don’t like riders with coffee breath, you can give them a box of mints.
RAD gift voucher
Because we can’t just choose perfect clothing without being able to try it on. Or because sometimes we want to give someone that push in the right direction so they can finally buy that motorcycle helmet they’ve been looking at for so long. That’s why we have RAD physical gift vouchers. You can get them both online and in each of our stores. Anyone who doesn’t have time for this can also buy a digital RAD gift voucher online. You will then receive the gift voucher directly in your mailbox after purchase. This way, there’s no longer any excuse to show up empty-handed when it’s time for gifts.
We have now come to the end of our list of gift tips for riders. These gift tips ensure that you bring a smile to the face of every rider during the holidays. Whatever option you choose, you’re always in the right place at RAD.
