Helmets

HELMETS FOR ALL

Searching for the ideal helmet can take time, and rightfully so.

With numerous sizes, shapes, and brands catering to various preferences, the quest is usually for the helmet that becomes a constant companion, much like our trusty electric bicycle.

Wearing a helmet is a non-negotiable safety practice.

There's no excuse to skip it, especially considering the multitude of options available.

TO CONSIDER

Cooling: Helmets should facilitate proper airflow for both commuting and longer rides. The number of air entrances and exits is crucial for effective ventilation.

Weight: Optimal helmets are lightweight and comfortable, creating a seamless union with the skull. Modern designs often feature a single plasticized shell with interior sponges and foams, prioritizing aerodynamics for a lighter feel.

Shape: Plastic construction aids in allowing the helmet to slide in the event of a fall, offering crucial protection against attrition and rotational forces. Enhanced safety systems, like MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System), provide an additional layer inside the helmet to rotate with the head during impact, mitigating brain injuries.

TO CONSIDER

Lights: Helmets should include a light system for visibility, even basic ones are superior to riding without any illumination. Reflectors add passive security, and some brands offer advanced light systems with directional signaling.

Extras: Additional features such as earpads for cold weather, visors for eye protection against wind and dust, rain covers to prevent water entry, detachable magnetic straps, and removable lids for securing the helmet with the bike are interesting additions, though not necessarily deal-breakers.
