With a speed pedelec, you can sometimes reach speeds of up to 45 km/h. That's when safety is essential. Wearing a bicycle or moped helmet is therefore mandatory when riding a speed pedelec.
Mandatory helmet
The helmet must comply with the EN1078 standard and protect both the temples and the back of the head. This is not always the case with a regular bicycle helmet.
Which helmet
We recommend choosing helmets designed specifically for speed pedelecs. These not only provide extra protection, but also more comfort.
These helmets reduce noise, especially at higher speeds.
It is possible to integrate a headset into the helmet. Useful for communication on the go.
Additional tips
Check the standard. Make sure the helmet meets the EN1078 safety standard.
The helmet should adequately protect the temples and the back of the head.
Consider helmets with added comforts such as noise reduction and headset integration.
