Electric Scooter Helmets
Electric scooters have become an essential tool for commuters, kids and are now used as a way of transport in cities and towns around the world. These units have evolved over time and are now faster and more efficient than ever before. That means those who have concerns can get around confidently and faster than ever before, but safety is the key ingredient when operating any e-scooter, including mobility scooter. These helmets will ensure you remain safe at all times even at fast speeds. Helmets are highly recommended for people using mobility scooters especially when driving on roads.

UK Electric Scooter Helmet Law
With electric scooters growing in popularity, concerns are being raised over the rider’s safety and whether or not it should be compulsory to wear a helmet while riding an e-scooter. Under UK law, it is permitted to ride an electric scooter on private land as long as you have the landowner’s permission. It is expected that new regulations will eventually bring the rules around riding e-scooters in line with the EU and Ireland, where it is legal to ride e-scooters on public roads. There are current e-scooters trial schemes running in London, but the Metropolitan Police advise all riders to wear a suitable helmet for safety. Several other cities also take part in e-scooter hire schemes, all recommending that safety helmets be worn.
Do you need a helmet for an electric scooter?
In a newspaper report, a representative from the Metropolitan Police stated on the subject, “All riders should wear a helmet, and younger riders particularly would benefit from additional protective clothing such as knee and elbow pads to minimise injury should you come off.”
It makes sense to want to protect e-scooters riders with a helmet in much the same way that bike helmets are heavily promoted for the same reason. Bike helmets have saved countless lives and reduced the risk of injury from falls, so the same can be said for wearing a scooter helmet.
