Cradle w/ Extra Battery Station
I personally own one like this (http://cgi.ebay.com/Cradle-Battery-Screen-Protector-for-HTC-Tilt-8925-AT-T_W0QQitemZ160269873051QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item160 269873051&_trkparms=72%3A570%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1318) that I got from ebay. I've had it for a few months and it works fine without any problems.
Case
Check out this (http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CSR2YCG8925%2DBK) style of case from Seidio. It's one of the more popular cases out there.
Scooter Mount
Sorry but I have no idea for a good scooter mount. Search the forum or google for opinions on this.
Screen Protector
Screen protectors seem to be a matter of opinion due to different issues such as clarity vs glare and smooth feel versus paper feel and so on. Check out this (http://www.brighthand.com/default.asp?newsID=11356) article for a review on a few different protectors.
USB Battery Extender
I've never used an extender before as I haven't had a need for one. Between wall and car chargers I'm always fine as far as power goes. But your use may very well differ from mine. I have seen a few extenders on ebay and other online stores so spend a little time searching and you should be able to give yourself a few options to decide from.
And like anything on ebay.... Buyer Beware! ;)

If you go to Amazon, there is a package deal of the seidio skin and the belt clip for $5 less than is on seidio's store. After shipping, of course. Must have, best case solution for the tilt. Anything else is for halfwits.

Does that Sedio case have a belt clip?

Case only, no belt clip (http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CSR2YCG8925-BK)
Case and holster with belt clip (http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BD2%2DHLCSRCG8925%2 DBK)

Scooter Mount

I've bought one of these for GPS on a Mountain Bike.
HERE (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HQ-BICYCLE-BIKE-MOUNT-HOLDER-FOR-CELL-PHONE-PDA-IPOD_W0QQitemZ330262919627QQihZ014QQcategoryZ7295Q QssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)
The 'fit' is very good but I used a scalpel (and finished off with a hot knife) creating a recess in the side foam so that it wraps over the Kaiser for added security.

Absolute must haves:
1.) Car Charger
2.) Becoming a member of XDA-Developers (Good job there).
Highly Recommended:
1. Spare Battery
2. Case
