As a cyclist for many years the question has always been should I or shouldn't I wear a helmet on a bicycle or ebike ? Well , basically the answer is a simple "YES" , And here's why . With the new technology behind ebikes and regular bicycle gearing and drive systems for bicycles and ebikes we are able to go faster than ever before on our equipment. Which is not a bad thing , but when it comes down to it the human head isn't exactly impact resistant. Think of it this way remember the good memories of Thanksgiving dinners and get to pull the wish bone . How easy it broke by pulling it with two peoples pinky fingers , Well now imagine your head as that wish bone and the ground as the pinky fingers . Add the mix of speeds up to 20 - 45 miles a hours with some of the newer equipment coming out , and those impacts to the head can be very dangerous if not life ending in some cases .
You may not like wearing a helmet for various reasons , maybe you don't like the way they feel , or how they make you look , or maybe you are just a non-helmet person , But remember this the human skull is made of bone , bones break , it hurts when bones break , and sometimes can be life threatening when broken , plus the Chance of concussion , Laceration's are also issues that do not want to have to deal with if something happens while out on your ride . So please put the helmet on and be safe .
