Giro Scooter

I looked at the statistics helmet and reading books of the bike.

Do you think cyclists Electric (ebikers - generally do not pedal, and do not sweat) would be more secure together using a DOT-approved helmet ebiking?

Is it a motorcycle helmet face too restrictive for use of bicycles in the city, in your opinion?

I heard that the Giro cyclists downhill full face "foam" helmet chin guard breaks on impact and fell apart. Would a helmet have prevented these injuries? Or simply transfer the impact force in another part of the head as the brain?

The helmet seems to have more material soft inside, and therefore I wonder if the electric motorcycle (32km / h maximum speed) should use more protection.

Stats suggest that bicycle helmets are not more than 40% after the impact, in my humble opinion. What motorcycle helmet - they any better?

Thank you for all suggestions.

I use a helmet with my bike helmet and a MC with my bike. Normally I'm not riding my bike in traffic while facing an impact of 20 mph or less do I crash. It is rare that I go fast. My speed is about 14 mph sustained in a good day.

A motorized scooter or bike to 30 mph will probably require more protection, you can get from a bike helmet. In addition, you're dealing with traffic which may be at much higher speeds. I would opt for an MX-style helmet. They are not as restrictive as a road helmet, but offer complete protection in a collision. Some of the new helmets for trail riding is great. Some have a flip-up or removable face shield for hot days.

As always try to avoid falling!

I sometimes wear a helmet when on my bike.
I would never strap a Styrofoam head of cycling.

Most bicycle helmets are safe to 40 mph. One thing to check is the safety inspections. Snell is stricter than the ANSI provided that they certify.

I've been in several accidents on a bike when I was bounced off my head and I can attest to their protection capacity, but regardless of the type of helmet you choose, remember to replace after an accident or a drop of any kind, for the slightest impact can affect the shell.

I commute on a 50cc scooter (40 mph tops only) using a DOT approved helmet with a protective mask. In my state of helmets is mandatory because of the qualification of scooters motorcycles. I have a helmet, but only in cold weather. I check the state laws, but if your state considers an electric bike as a moped (in my state of their illegal), you would probably be required to wear DOT approved helmet.

downhill helmets are the same design as the helmet motocross. The problem was the downhill cyclist probably a design flaw.

Think about it, the average person on a bicycle can not stand up as fast as 20 mph and not at a steady pace, average speed is 10-15 mph so that the helmet is more appropriate to average them. Being that you are not pedaling and can make a higher speed for longer periods, you may be better with a DOT approved helmet because it is more of a motorcycle.

Whatever you decide, remember that driving safely and defense are the best ways to prevent accidents.

If they are really concerned about safety, then everyone should wear a helmet face as normal bicycle, you can get up to very high speeds and, except perhaps in urban traffic.

You can always crash, and you can always rely on luck or bad. On all kinds of two-wheeled, electric or gas or human powered, you can get your head seriously broken even with, say, 10 mph.

But like here.
