Helmets are the single most important safety aspect whilst riding. They ensure your safety in the event of a fall or collision.

Wearing a good-quality helmet is especially important on electric bikes, where higher average speeds mean extra protection is essential. Modern e-bike helmets are designed to offer enhanced impact absorption and broader coverage, giving you greater confidence whether you’re commuting through traffic or exploring new routes. Many models also include improved ventilation and lightweight materials, so you stay cool and comfortable even on longer rides.

Helmets come in many shapes, sizes & colours, but all do the important bit in protecting your head! Choose a style and colour you prefer, and use our size guide to help ensure you order the correct helmet size. A high-quality bicycle helmet stands as a non-negotiable safeguard for riders.

It's the pinnacle of protection, mitigating head injuries in unforeseen accidents. Engineered with advanced materials and designs, these helmets absorb impacts, shielding the skull and brain from severe trauma. Their ventilation systems ensure comfort without compromising safety.

Beyond meeting safety standards, they instil confidence, encouraging consistent helmet use—a habit that could be life-saving. Investing in a premium helmet isn't just about compliance; it's an unequivocal commitment to personal well-being, a shield that transcends style, emphasising that safety is paramount in every cycling venture.

E-bike helmets increasingly feature smart safety additions, such as integrated rear lights, MIPS protection, and improved visibility designs. These features help you stand out to other road users and reduce rotational forces in the event of an accident. With options tailored for urban riding, sporty use, or off-road adventures, the right helmet not only boosts safety but also enhances comfort and overall riding enjoyment.

Wearing a helmet is not mandatory here in the UK to ride a legal power ebike, but there are very few good reasons to not wear one. Higher average speeds and more crowded roads and cycle lanes means a higher risk of accidents and nothing will protect your head better in the event of a crash or fall and the consequences of not wearing one even in low speed impact can lead to life changing brain injuries.

Helmet measurements are taken around the full circumference of the head, from the very center of the forehead. This measurement in CM (centimeters) can be used in the size comparison charts on our website to ensure you're getting the right size helmet for your head.

MIPS, or "Multi-directional Impact Protection System" is a technology used in mid to high end helmets to further protect the wearer from brain injuries in the event of a crash or fall. Your brain is "free floating" inside your skull and in the event of a hard impact it can move and this sudden accelerative force is what causes most concussions and brain injuries. The MIPS system is effectively a free floating cage inside the helmet which allows the helmet to rotate on the head without detaching, dispersing the impact force and reducing the risk of injury.

You don’t need an e-bike-specific helmet, but many riders prefer them because they offer extra safety features, better ventilation, and improved rear coverage for higher speeds.

Yes — integrated lights improve rear visibility and are particularly useful for urban commuting. They help drivers spot you earlier, especially in low-light conditions.

Snug but comfortable. It shouldn’t wobble or slide when you move your head. The straps should form a neat “V” under your ears, and the helmet should sit level, covering most of your forehead.

Generally every 3–5 years, or immediately after any crash or significant impact. UV exposure and general wear can degrade the materials over time.

Yes. Urban or commuter helmets often feature built-in lights, more coverage, rain-friendly designs, and stylish looks that pair well with everyday riding clothes.

Not usually. Modern materials keep them lightweight while still offering more protection. Most feel very similar to standard cycling helmets.

Absolutely. MTB helmets offer great protection, ventilation, and visors — ideal if you ride off-road or prefer a sportier style.
