Choose the right helmet for your electric scooter or electric bike

Riding an electric scooter or e-bike is a convenient, eco-friendly, and fun way to get around. But to truly enjoy your rides, it's important to make safety a priority. A helmet isn't 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, plus a few tips on how to improve your safety.

Why is a helmet so important?

Every year, accidents happen involving electric scooters and e-bikes, and many of them could have been made less severe or prevented altogether 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 out in nature, a helmet should be just as much of a given as your electric scooter or e-bike.

How to find the right helmet

Finding the right helmet is essential for your safety and comfort. Here are three important factors to keep in mind:

1. Size and fit - A helmet that sits too loose or too tight won't give you enough protection. Use a tape measure and measure the circumference of your head about 2 cm above your eyebrows.

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

3. Design and features - A good helmet isn't just safe – it should also be comfortable and stylish. For example, our LED helmets have built-in LED lights that boost your visibility in traffic, which is perfect for riding at night.

Tips for wearing your helmet correctly

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

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

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