Getting around the city by bike, electric scooter, or skateboard has become second nature for many urbanites. It's convenient, eco-friendly, and great for your well-being. But this freedom comes with a responsibility: protecting yourself properly. Choosing an urban bike helmet is the first step, but with a market saturated with options and marketing promises, how do you find your way?
As a product expert at Joybuy, my mission is to bring you clarity. Together, we'll break down the common pitfalls and essential criteria for making an informed choice—one that protects you effectively without sacrificing your style or your budget.
Marketing has a way of overcomplicating things. Here are three common traps that can lead to a purchase you'll regret:
To avoid these traps, focus on a few non-negotiable technical points. These are the true guarantors of your future helmet's quality and safety.
This is the starting point, the non-negotiable criterion. A certified protective helmet compliant with the European EN 1078 standard has successfully passed a series of tests validating its shock absorption capacity, structural integrity, and the effectiveness of its retention system (the straps). This certification ensures the helmet is suitable for cycling, skateboarding, rollerblading, and by extension, electric scooters. It's an essential prerequisite, whether you're looking for a women's bike helmet, a men's helmet, or a kids' helmet.
An effective helmet is one that doesn't move an inch. To achieve this, two elements are crucial:
Beyond basic protection, certain features significantly enhance the urban riding experience.
To help you see how these criteria apply in practice, here are a few models tailored to specific needs.
Why it's a great choice: Perfect for those who zip to work by bike or scooter. Its understated design and matte finish make it a versatile all-rounder. Highly adaptable with its removable visor and ear covers, it's suited for all seasons.
It avoids the 'one-size-fits-all' trap with its precise adjustment dial. Its features (visor, ear covers) are real-world assets, not just gimmicks.
EN 1078 PPE certification. Comfortable and lightweight (430 g). Transparent panoramic visor for optimal visibility in all weather.
Why it's a great choice: Essential for those who ride early in the morning or late at night. Here, visibility isn't an option: the 180° rear light and remote-controlled turn signals ensure you're seen in all conditions.
It focuses on a feature that truly makes a difference for safety (active lighting), steering clear of useless gimmicks. It's a direct investment in your protection.
Complete lighting system with a handlebar remote. USB-C rechargeable. All-season accessories included (visor, ear covers).
Why it's a great choice: The biggest challenge with a kids' helmet? Getting them to wear it! Its playful pink pig design with 3D ears turns this chore into a game, motivating your child to wear it for protection spontaneously.
It proves that style and safety can go hand in hand. Certified EN 1078, it removes any ambiguity about standards and guarantees real protection behind its fun appearance.
Appealing design for kids. Robust and lightweight In-mold construction. Easy-to-use adjustment system for parents.
We have curated a full range of models that meet our selection criteria and current safety regulations.
The rule is simple: a helmet must be replaced after any significant impact, even if no damage is visible on the outside. The internal foam liner (EPS) is designed to crush to absorb the energy of the shock. Once compressed, it no longer provides protection. Additionally, it's advisable to replace your helmet every 5 years or so, as the materials degrade over time and with exposure to UV rays.
Yes, as long as it is EN 1078 certified. This standard covers the impact risks associated with cycling, rollerblading, skateboarding, and scootering. A certified skate helmet or bike helmet therefore guarantees a level of protection perfectly suited for riding an electric scooter in the city.
For the outer shell, a soft cloth and soapy water are all you need. Above all, avoid solvents or harsh chemicals that could damage the plastic and compromise its protective properties. Most modern helmets have removable inner pads: you can hand-wash them with mild soap, then let them air dry.
