One other issue I didn't mention but suddenly seems like a big omission is proper chin strap tightness. I'm also guilty of not always adjusting it properly, but you should keep it tight so your helmet actually stays on if you ever need it!

Hi Micah, how's it been going? Good I hope. Thanks to your videos, books and advice, my eBikes (5 now) are still running great and I have been very happy with your Vruzend kits. All of the battery packs I've built have been with Vruzend kits.. The best part is when I want to upgrade my cells or packs, the swap out of cells is super fast and easy. I agree with your last 2 helmet choices, but please throw that first POS in the trash. Helmets aren't about style, convenience or filming, they are about saving your life. Back in the 70's, Bell Helmets had an ad that said (to the effect); "If you have a $10 head, buy a $10 helmet, if yours is worth more, buy a Bell". I've taken that to heart and now I'm celebrating 50 years on 2 wheels. If I had bought some crap like the "Beanie", I'd be dead 10 times over. Just sayn! Here is a great helmet that won't break the bank, yet still protect you very well; HJC Adult CS-5N Solid White 3/4 Open Face Motorcycle Helmet DOT I bought a Black one off eBay, for daytime eBike & motorcycle riding in the So. Cal Heat of the day. Great fit and reasonable weight. I like it so much I bought another White one for nighttime eBike riding. Brand New @ $70 plus tax, with free shipping. Hard to beat that. BTW; your chin strap must be tight enough that when you turn your head quickly, the helmet stays in place and doesn't spin as you move. Ride safe and have fun. cheers Boots Langley La Mesa, Ca

[@deehines5750]

My ebikes go 28-38 mph so I wear a modular motorcycle helmet. The ventilation is terrible when pedaling at lower pas though. The ebike doctor said anything over 20mph you want a full face helmet. I like having the visor and a lever sun shield. I can't find the best of both worlds yet.

[@drjonesey5]

I was currently researching helmets, something I do from time to time as I ride Ebikes and Escooters. I don't ride ones beyond 20-30 mph but I'm riding in NYC which some of you I'm sure are familiar with due to many Urban Big Cities and smaller cities being a thing; which means heavy traffic, bumps, pot holes etc. I basically answered this question for myself by thinking this, sure a normal bike helmet is adequate to stop enough impact on my head at the speeds of 20 mph and less. HOWEVER, I don't just have a head, I have a face, and a nose and teeth I very much like to keep intact. A 10 mph face plant with a bike helmet may not kill you, but you're sure to lose teeth and bust up your face, sooooo which helmet do you think I'm choosing to get? Either BMX style full face guard or an actual Full Motocycle Helmet. It's that simple. $60, $80, $100, I don't care, I just want to protect my head and face. A small bump can knock you off your bike even at slow speed and there goes your teeth and now you have to pay out for dentist work and deal with the pain of all that. That's why I decided to switch my regular bike helmet for Full guard. Better safe than sorry as they say. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. I was being cheap when I got my first E-Bike. But Now I purchased an Lectric XP Lite and want to do it right. I also don't like the "Budget" excuse because if you can budget $50, you can budget $100 or $150. The only thing stopping someone from buying a $150 helmet if they budgeted $50 is time and habits. If you save $50 from a pay check, you can wait longer and save $100 then buy a $100 one. You also may buy a $7 coffee everyday and if you cut that habit out for 2 weeks you have $70 to spare. I never see people discuss or admit to this. A budget is not "what you feel comfortable with" it's what needs to be done to obtain freedom with your cash and being responsible with your money. People like to make up excuse about finances to avoid the man in the mirror for why they cannot afford this or that.

[@HealthyLiv1ng]

Which helmets do you recommend for NYC?

[@brooklynzboy83]

I'm in New York City too. I need a good helmet to protect my ugly face mad head when I'm on my escooter or Ebike. I usually go 20mph touch. Which do you use?

[@raygrenade1697]

[@lulul1214]

Fox Proframe RS is top… its slim, cool and protects everything with the newest and best protection.

[@vincem257]

I got a full face motorcycle helmet too. A lot of people are on e-bikes. Most motorcycle accidents also happen at speeds of less than 30 mph so if you’re on a class 2 or 3 e-bike and ride 25-30 with the traffic through town, I would say accidents could be comparable so it’s worth it.

[@AyoHues]

A neat feature of the Bern is the enlarged apertures that allow you to pass a D lock shank through so you can lock the helmet to your bike at the same time as the bike rail. I wish all cycle helmets had this convenient, no/low cost feature. Worth pointing out the most important safety aspect of any helmet is fit. Unless the helmet fits properly, protection will be severely compromised.

[@jessicaal415]

Thousand has this feature as well

[@Sarge92]

also worth mmentioning if your not gonna lock your helmet to the bike in some way for whatever reason always place your helmet on the floor also when your not using it never balance it on the bike or hang it off the bars if it drops and hits the floor you pretty much get a new helmet it might look fine but the interior foam can compress and deform permernantly which ruins its protective rating and you cant see the condition of the foam without cutting it open so just try to avoid any situation where it can fall

[@manFromPeterborough]

Has MIPS and Meets Certification for CPSC 1203, CE EN1078, ASTM F1952, ASTM F2032, and AS/NZS 2063.

[@conraddevera]

The point you made about the way a camera mount could be a stress point or cause torsion wasn't something I had considered before. I'll definitely be thinking about protrusions like that when looking for helmets in the future.

[@johngrindlinger]

I’ve worn everything from the old leather “hairnets” to the best helmets made for motorcycle and car racing. What’s really important is that you wear one. Whether I’m on my Harley or my e-bike I feel naked without one.

[@Leonardokite]

I had a colleague that rode his bike to work every day. It was only a couple of miles so he didn't need a helmet. Then after he missed a couple days and came back with a big lump and bruise on the side of his head, after going to the hospital not doubt with a concussion, he changed his mind and got himself a brain bucket a.k.a. skid lid. Some people have to learn the hard way.

[@robmcculley6835]

[@mcdaddygee]

Thanks Micah. Great vid. On the topic of motorcycle helmets. Where are you at with your Honda e-bike conversion?

[@tropezando]

I had a bonk on the back of my head the first week I had my bike last summer - right in front of my doctor's office lol. I was still getting used to riding it, and took the downhill turn a little too fast. I was wearing a Bern Macon 2.0 with mips, so the only thing that was injured was my elbow skin and my pride. Even though the helmet wasn't rated for top ebike speeds, it took my weight and momentum really well. I also don't tend to ride at my bike's top speed since I'm usually just vibing around the neighborhood and running errands or riding for fun, so a standard bike helmet was enough for me. It's also possible to purchase a visor and the light attachment for it, similar to the Hudson model, and you can even get a winter lining for it. I bought both of mine for around $60 each, but they do go on sale ocassionally. Thought I'd mention it for people who have class 1 or 2 bikes that top out at 20mph. I definitely want to get a full face helmet for winter riding, though. Bike season is so short in Minnesota! Do they fog up at all?

[@chrisackert8774]

I am curious about how well the downhill helmet deals with air whooshing past the ears. To maintain good awareness around me, I really like to hear. I also have a motorcycle style huge left mirror, but that air going past sounds really loud, whistling almost. I dont know if its just the shape of my particular ears or what but I always wear some ear mufflers. so when I put on the downhill helmet - is it gonna make the wind noise worse or better??

My goal is to commute the 15 miles or so (one way) on very hilly very rough and patchy asphalt. Your videos are very helpful, I thank you good sir. Any advice from you or the community on the above setup would be appreciated. The only part of the puzzle that I can't seem to find much information on is the displays. There seems to be about 10 different versions with no explanation on what any of them offer as far as features or lack thereof. I'm about ready to just close my eyes and point. What are the differences? What features do you find useful? Are the extra features worth the cost? Things like that. Maybe a good video idea. Also not a ton of info on front chain ring size, just another place where I have had a hard time finding info.

NTA 8776 Certified for E-Bikes and E-Transport up to 28 MPH; Certified Multi-Impact (ASTM); Certified High Impact (CPSC) They’re about $120 and you can add a visor. They have holes in the back for air… which fits a long shackle u-lock and I can lock my helmet to my bike. They were just 50% off over Black Friday

What is your opinion about the Lumos helmets that have integrated lights. Front, back, and directional indicators.

[@DoubleRBlaxican]

Thanks for this video. I'm going from motorcycles to ebikes and it is weird to me that bicycle riders don't protect their head better. It was beaten in to my brain to wear a full face helmet even if you are only going a couple blocks to do some errands. The worse motorcycle accident that happened to someone i know happened when he got rear ended at a stop light and he didn't have a helmet on. He ended up with massive head trauma and unable to take care of himself. I would suggest if you are going faster than 20mph and definitely if you are going to be using main roads to get a dirt bike helmet. They usually go for around $300 and can provide plenty of protection. This is a weird case where the cheapest motorcycle helmet will protect more than the most expensive bicycle helmet. I would suggest if you are going to be going real fast to check out what a motorcycle store can offer for better protection. Personally i am going to go for dirt bike helmet and gloves as road rash won't kill you but it will keep me humble on the road.

[@Sarge92]

yup i dont see the point of bicycle helmets there so weak and flimsy the only thing they could ever prevent is minor owies nearly every person I've seen get into a decent crash there helmets just split open like coconuts so bike helmets are pointless i would set the minimum for a helmet being a dirt bike helmet

@@mudpuppy8740 It's quite common to hit your face in a fall from a bike. I've fallen from a motorbike at low speeds (mud on a roundabout) and I hit the side of my face on a kerb stone and had pain in my jaw for days. Thankfully I was wearing a full face helmet or it might have been broken bones and plastic surgery instead of aches and pains.

Agree. The full face is there to prevent massive facial reconstruction, a wired jaw, or getting your butt cheeks permanently grafted to your face. I'm not wearing one to prevent a scratch. I use a Bell Super 2R (Super 3R is the current model). Light weight, well vented, and MIPS'ed

I had to laugh about that triple 8 lid. A while back I spend quite a bit of time trying to figure out what it was, as I figured that if you wore it all the time, then it must be good and safe... Lots of good tips here. Thanks for putting his out.

@WhatsApp +➀➁➃⓪➂➇➁➂⓪➀➃ Damn, whatsapp, I must be the luckiest guy in the world. Last week you told me that I won a bike, this week you are telling me that I won a helmet. What will it be next week?????

Always wear some kind of a helmet if you are riding on the road. I have no doubt that a helmet saved my life in a bike vs car accident over 25 years ago. I still have a permanent headache from that accident, I had a severe concussion at the time. My Gyro helmet (similar to the LEM in the video) was completely destroyed in the accident to the point the hard shell was in 2 pieces, held together by the chin strap. After the car cut me off, and slammed on their brakes. I impacted the back of the car with my helmet hard enough that inertia took me, bike and all, completely over the car. I ended up in the hospital for several days due to multiple broken bones and a concussion, but I survived. Without that extra protection from the helmet, I have no doubt my skull would have been as compromised as the helmet was.

I got full face for winter, something like the berner hot temp outside

Unrelated question.thoughts on using rc lipo batteries on a ebike.

[@mark38699]

Is there a Dh full face helmet with the cert that is ultra light weight , indestructible, and super super well ventilated?

[@raylivengood8040]

👍🏻 great information

Hi I am a bike commuter with asthma I was wondering if an ebike might help with my asthma?

[@aminkhaled7284]

ThAnK You!

[@ernie2221]

i have been trying to find a review on a ILM helmet with the drop down visor. just cant seem to find any reviews on it. just wondering your thoughts on this helmet

[@stevelacroix2917]

Thanks. We don't emphasize helmets enough! It only takes one header over your handlebars to realize how important helmets are.

[@searaydrivingguy]

I have the Bell helmet, i use it to ride my fat bike E-bike. doing 28 miles per hour and crashing is not worth not having a full face helmet, and the matt black looks super cool.

Triple 8 has a dual certified MIPs helmet that I have used for over a year.

[@waltercruz6560]

Wow, very informative, thanks for the video. I am looking to buy an electric bike. My non-electric bike was stolen. I have had a Bern helmet for a while. I really like it, but now that I might be riding a bike that goes 30mph, and full face helmet seems like a good idea.

[@Pete.C]

Would you be able to recommend a helmet which is for narrower heads?

[@markaprill6501]

Good video. I hav3 a agv moto helmet a bern and a faro unit 1 plus I have a full face bmx helmet. I ride a talaria and a onewheel gt.

I've been riding bikes between school and work since middle school. And I've never worn a helmet. Now that I am looking to learn how to ride a motorcycle, I am in the market for a full fae motor cycle helmet. I recently bought a new electroc bike in january 2023 that reaches a top speed of 42 mph and I am still yet to wear a helmet. After this video I am inspired to buy a motorcycle helmet and use it with my ebike until I get a motorcycle

[@cantorlevy7478]

Brilliant. I love that Ebike Manifesto... I own the Radrunner Plus but I am too scared to ride it 😔 You've taught us so much. Shalom Shalom 🙂🇮🇱

[@lumixpepper]

Are there lightweight downhill helmets with integrated visor instead of goggles?

[@andydarling8951]

I got an e-bike that goes up to 20 mph but I’m so glad I got a dual sport motorcycle helmet for it. Can’t imagine my jaw not being protected

[@mytrigger5613]

I just bought Tony Hawks helmet by Triple 8 for $16. I think it was $55 but it was like new. What's funny to me is I started commenting and then you started talking about it. Of all the helmets out there and the fact I just found your channel, well, pretty cool. My helmet is still in the mail. I was sold because I trust Tony hawk. He would not recommend junk. The padding looks like it's different than the usual stuff out there. As far as how much is my head and face worth? I dunno but the extra visibility probably decreases the probability of getting in an accident. I ride the aventon sinch and compared to the way I used to ride as a kid, no helmet and no concern for blind spots and alleys, I'm already using my head for what it was meant for, thinking.

[@thomasreese2816]

For a Go Pro, putting it somewhere with the frame between you and it is best. Same with anything mounted to the Handlebar. If you fly forward, you don't want mirrors to rip your wrists off or a bottle holder to turn you into iron man

[@peterdevenny7367]

Another great video 👍😁😁😁🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️

[@mudpuppy8740]

I bought the first skate boarding helmet because I liked the look. The XXL is 20 dollars more but I still got it. I have a big head that's quite tall and it folds my ears down :( Cannot wear it. Returned it today

[@oahu7873]

I just bought a motorcycle helmet for my son when he rides. Average speed he does 25 to 30. Max 35.

[@INSANIATORHA]

My stepdad used to have a motor bike, he sold it but kept the helmet, i kept his helmet to use on my mtb, its light, comfy and safe... I trust it.. Should i?
