What type of helmet should be worn when riding a scooter?

[DiElizabeth]

It is best to wear a full-face helmet when riding a scooter. Here is some relevant information: 1. Theoretically, regardless of the type of vehicle, a full-face helmet is the safest. If you want to balance daily riding with safety, you can choose a modular helmet. 2. Purchase a genuine helmet based on personal needs and comfort standards. Methods for correctly selecting a helmet: 1. The helmet shell should be made of hard, durable materials that can absorb a significant amount of impact energy; the buffer layer should use materials that can absorb collision energy effectively, are non-toxic, and harmless, covering the head protection area; the lining should consist of sweat-absorbing and breathable materials; the fastening device must ensure the helmet fits securely on the head; the visor should be made of materials that meet light transmission and impact resistance requirements, with a light transmittance of no less than 85%. 2. Helmet weight requirements: full-face helmet <1.6kg, half helmet <1.3kg, horizontal field of vision >105°, upward field of vision >7°. 3. The helmet must have fixed markings, such as the product name, manufacturer's name and address, trademark, product type, model, specifications, production date, batch number, or serial number. 4. Helmets are divided into large, medium, and small sizes based on head circumference: large 580~600mm, medium 560~580mm, small 540~560mm. When purchasing a helmet, choose the appropriate size according to your head circumference. 5. The helmet should be discarded after experiencing a significant impact accident. 6. When selecting a helmet, also pay attention to the following: hold both sides of the helmet with each hand, then pull it upward over your head. To remove it, do the opposite. After wearing the helmet, shake it back and forth and side to side to test if the size is appropriate. The fit should be snug but not tight or wobbly. Do not weigh the helmet by hand; the correct method is to wear it and test it with your head. If your neck does not feel the weight, it is acceptable.
