E-scooter helmet: Visor or not?

Helmets for safe electric scooter riding:

Safe riding of an electric scooter requires careful selection of the helmet. The addition of a visor to a helmet dedicated to electric scooters enhances protection against the elements. Dive into our tips to help you make the right choice between helmets for electric scooters, with or without a visor.
Although it's not compulsory to wear an electric scooter helmet below 25 km/h, it is strongly recommended. Above this speed, a motorcycle helmet is mandatory, as the scooter is considered a moped. The NTA impact standard is beginning to emerge as a compromise.

Advantages of an Electric Scooter Helmet with Visor

Choosing an electric scooter helmet with a visor or bike shield is a wise decision, offering a wide range of benefits. The speed associated with riding an electric scooter can cause a number of eye problems. In this context, the visor or bike shield proves to be an effective protective barrier, offering defense against external elements such as wind, sunlight, insects, rain and dust.

This specific helmet feature is especially designed to facilitate the wearing of prescription glasses. It creates an adapted space, allowing easy positioning of glasses while guaranteeing a comfortable and secure fit of the helmet. In this way, users can enjoy optimum visual protection, while maintaining a high level of convenience, which is particularly crucial when riding an electric scooter. Opting for a helmet with a visor or bike shield is therefore an intelligent solution for combining safety and practicality on your journeys around town.
