none.  my top speed is around 50kph, no faster.  and im strictly street commuting.  if one is going faster,  yeah, shoulder pads would be the next added layer of protection i would think, aside from perhaps a spinal support as well (motocross equip i think...)...IMO...

but , ...

im currently waiting on my delivery of a lynx.  its an euc capable of much faster speeds.  i did update my shin and elbow pads.  and since i still plan on riding within my speed envelop, i will not be adding additional gear.  may be a simple leather jacket, but thats it.  since i will not be riding at break neck speeds,  i dont think i will need to gear up all that much even with a more powerful euc... sure, i may get some stretches of empty streets where i can ride abit faster.  but in general, i will be still riding slow compared to the rest of the younger faster riders.
