Learn More About Electric Scooter & Ride Helmets

Accidents can happen to anyone, even skilled riders, which is why you need to include a good helmet in your electric scooter purchase.

In most areas, the wearing of helmets is mandated by law, and failure to comply can result in fines or other penalties. But beyond legal compliance, wearing a helmet reduces the risk of head injuries in case of an accident. In some cases, a helmet also makes you more visible to other drivers and riders on the road.

In other words, wearing an electric scooter helmet is an absolute necessity, and there are no valid reasons to forgo it.

But also keep in mind that not all helmets are suitable for scooter use. Since e-scooters can reach high speeds, it is crucial to choose a helmet that provides necessary protection against impacts and collisions.

Here are the guidelines for selecting a high-quality electric scooter helmet.

How to Choose a Good E-Scooter Helmet

Safety Certification

An e scooter helmet is designed to save lives, and it's important to ensure that the one you choose excels at its job.

Look for a helmet that meets safety standards and has certifications from organisations such as the CSPC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) and the ASTM International (American Society for Testing and Materials).

Material

Aside from certifications, look for helmets that are purpose-built for e-scooter use. Choose one that comes with a hard outer shell (usually made of polycarbonate or ABS) to provide excellent impact resistance. It also needs to have a softer inner liner (usually EPS inner foam) to absorb the shock of a collision. 

Ventilation 

To keep your head cool, especially in warm weather, you would also need a helmet that provides ample ventilation. Proper ventilation promotes airflow, dissipates heat, and wicks away sweat from your scalp, reducing discomfort and risks of skin irritations.

A good electric scooter helmet will have multiple strategically-placed vents to maximise airflow. For example, the Thousand® Helmet has seven vents to keep you cool and comfortable. This ensures that you stay cool and comfortable while riding your electric scooter.

Fit

To provide optimal protection, a good e-scooter helmet needs to fit your head perfectly. Our helmets are available in various sizes and are adjustable to ensure a secure but comfortable fit. It should be snug but not overly tight.

We also provide sizing guides to help you measure the circumference of your head accurately. In the event that your e-scooter helmet doesn’t fit you well, we offer a hassle-free exchange process. Simply contact us, and we will coordinate an exchange.

Brand

There are many scooter helmets in Australia, but make it a point to choose one manufactured by a reliable brand. Research the brand’s reputation, and take time to read reviews from other users. By investing in a helmet from a trusted brand, you can have greater confidence in its safety and reliability.

Style 

There simply shouldn’t be a tradeoff between style and safety. While the latter remains the utmost priority, we understand the importance of personal style. That's why our range of helmets is available in various styles, catering to different tastes and fashion sensibilities.
