Why buy a bicycle helmet?

A bicycle helmet significantly reduces the risk of head injury in the event of a fall or collision. 

In Belgium, wearing a helmet is mandatory when riding a speed pedelec. For speed pedelecs, the helmet must meet legal requirements. At least an EN 1078-approved bicycle helmet with extended protection for the temples and the back of the head, or a dedicated speed pedelec helmet, designed to offer extra protection at higher speeds.

Beyond legal requirements, it is just as important to protect passengers, such as children riding in a cargo bike or on a longtail bike. In busy urban traffic, they are particularly vulnerable. A good bicycle helmet significantly reduces the risk of serious head injury in the event of a fall or collision.

And there are even more reasons why a good helmet makes all the difference:

  • Increased safety at higher speeds, especially on e-bikes
  • Better visibility thanks to reflective details or integrated lighting
  • Greater comfort through lightweight materials and effective ventilation

You don’t wear a helmet because you expect something to happen – you wear one so you’re prepared if it does.
