Choose the right helmet for your electric scooter or electric bike

Riding an electric scooter or e-bike is a convenient, environmentally friendly and fun way to get around. But to really enjoy your rides, it's important to prioritize safety. A helmet is not just a necessity – it's an investment in your own life and well-being. Here's everything you need to know to choose the right helmet and some tips on how to improve your safety.

Why is the helmet so important?

Every year, accidents involving e-scooters and e-bikes occur, and many of these could have been mitigated or prevented with a properly worn helmet. Studies show that a helmet can reduce the risk of serious head injuries by up to 70%. Whether you’re commuting to work, gliding through city streets, or taking a relaxing ride in nature, a helmet should be as obvious as your e-scooter or e-bike.

How to find the right helmet

Finding the right helmet is crucial for your safety and comfort. Here are three important factors to consider:

1. Size and fit - A helmet that is too loose or too tight will not provide adequate protection. Use a tape measure and measure the circumference of your head approximately 2 cm above your eyebrows.

2. Safety standards - Make sure the helmet is certified according to applicable standards, such as CE marking in Europe. Our Standard helmet for electric scooters is an affordable and safe alternative that meets all necessary requirements.

3. Design and features - A good helmet is not only safe – it should also be comfortable and stylish. For example, our LED helmets Integrated LED lights that increase your visibility in traffic, which is perfect for evening driving.

Tips for using the helmet correctly

• Adjust the straps: The straps should form a V-shape under the ears and sit tightly but comfortably under the chin.

• Place the helmet correctly: The front of the helmet should sit about two fingers above the eyebrows to protect the forehead.

• Maintain the helmet: Check regularly for cracks or other damage and replace the helmet after a heavy impact or collision.
