Decorating a rental ECV

Looking for subtle but cute ideas to decorate a rental, something so I know its mine, I really like the idea of colored lights but am unsure what to get?
 
I just bought a pack of four inch fluorescent colored wire ties.
I'm going to place a couple on each side of the ECV so I can identify it from any angle.
 
When we went in Nov, I put a Disney Santa hat from dollar tree on the headrest. On our recent trip I covered the seat with a Disney towel. The seat got super hot in the heat so it served two purposes. I did have a string of lights but no way to attach them.
 
When I went with one other person and we needed ECVs, we got Jolly Roger flags from the Pirates gift shop and stuck them on the backs of the seats.

One trip in November, one person in my group decked hers out with battery-operated Christmas tree lights, tinsel Garland, light-up Minnie Ears with a red and green bow, and a stocking hanging from the basket. When we met Chip and Dale, they played with the garland and pretended to eat it.
 
You don't have to get fancy - just tie a brightly colored bandana (or two, or three LOL) anywhere on the scooter. You can also tie brightly colored/patterned grosgrain ribbon as well.

If you want to attach things, remember Velcro OneWrap is your friend (It's Velcro, with the hooks on one side, and the loops on the other, so you can loop it around things, and it sticks to itself) as well as "cable ties" (aka "zip ties").

Some people will use beach towels to cover their seat, and I have seen people put everything from bicycle handlebar streamers and bells, to battery operated LED lights, to stuffed animals that have been attached. General rule of thumb, as always, is don't put anything on there that you will mind if it gets "borrowed permanently" by another Guest.
 
I decorated my ECV on a birthday trip, so I went a "bit" over the top. I used battery-powered wire LED lights wrapped around (and through) the basket and on the cane holder on the back. Zip-tied plushes to the front of the basket (they were not coming off unless you wanted an armless one). I also used my usual beach towel over the seat.
