Frequently Asked Questions

Are these helmets DOT approved?

Yes! All our scooter helmets are DOT (Department of Transportation) approved, meeting federal safety standards for motorcycle and scooter helmet protection. This ensures you're getting reliable, tested protection for your rides.

What type of helmet is this?

This is a half-helmet (also called a shorty or low-profile helmet) designed specifically for scooter and moped riders. It provides DOT-approved protection while offering a lightweight, comfortable fit perfect for urban riding.

What does "gender requests honored" mean?

We offer helmets in designs and colors that appeal to different preferences. When ordering, you can request male-specific or female-specific designs, and we'll do our best to accommodate your preference based on current inventory.

How do I measure my head for the right size?

Use a soft measuring tape and measure around the largest part of your head, about 1 inch above your eyebrows and ears. Keep the tape level and snug but not tight. Compare your measurement to our size chart to find the correct size.

How do I know if the helmet fits properly?

A properly fitting helmet should feel snug all around your head without pressure points. It shouldn't move when you shake your head side to side or up and down. The helmet should sit level on your head, not tilted back. If you can fit more than one or two fingers between your forehead and the helmet, it's too large.

What's the special pricing with scooter/moped purchase?

When you purchase a scooter or moped from us, you can get this helmet at a special discounted price - an incredible value! This makes it easy and affordable to get fully equipped with quality safety gear when you buy your machine.

Is shipping really free?

Yes! We offer free shipping on all helmet orders to the lower 48 states, making it easy and affordable to get the protection you need.

Can I use this helmet for motorcycle riding?

While this helmet is DOT approved, it's a half-helmet design best suited for scooters and mopeds. For highway motorcycle riding, we recommend a full-face helmet for maximum protection at higher speeds.

Is this helmet comfortable for long rides?

Yes! The half-helmet design is lightweight and comfortable for extended rides, making it perfect for daily commuting and longer scooter trips. The open design also provides excellent ventilation.

Do I need to wear goggles or a face shield with this helmet?

While not required, we recommend wearing eye protection such as goggles, sunglasses, or a face shield when riding to protect your eyes from wind, debris, and insects.

How do I clean and maintain my helmet?

Wipe the outer shell with a damp cloth and mild soap. Clean the interior padding with a damp cloth or remove it (if removable) and hand wash. Never use harsh chemicals or solvents. Allow to air dry completely before use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

How long do scooter helmets last?

Most manufacturers recommend replacing your helmet every 3-5 years, even if it hasn't been in a crash. The materials can degrade over time from UV exposure, sweat, and general wear. Always replace a helmet immediately after any significant impact.

Should I replace my helmet after a crash?

Yes! Even if there's no visible damage, the helmet's protective materials may be compromised after an impact. Always replace your helmet after any crash or significant impact to ensure maximum protection.

What's included with the helmet?

The helmet comes ready to use with interior padding installed. Additional accessories like face shields or visors may be sold separately depending on the model.

Can I return or exchange if the size doesn't fit?

Please refer to our return policy for details on returns and exchanges. We recommend measuring carefully and using our size guide before ordering to ensure the best fit the first time.

Do these helmets come with a warranty?

Yes, these helmets come with a manufacturer's warranty against defects. Contact us for specific warranty details and coverage information.

How much does the helmet weigh?

The helmet weighs approximately 3 lbs, which is lightweight for comfortable all-day wear without causing neck fatigue.

What colors or designs are available?

We offer various colors and designs. Please contact us with your gender preference and we'll help you select from available options that match your style.

Is this helmet suitable for both men and women?

Absolutely! We offer designs that appeal to all riders. When ordering, let us know your preference and we'll honor gender requests to ensure you get a helmet you'll be excited to wear.

Do I legally need to wear a helmet on a scooter or moped?

Helmet laws vary by state. Many states require helmets for all riders, some only for riders under a certain age, and a few have no helmet law. Check your local laws, but we always recommend wearing a helmet for safety regardless of legal requirements.

Can I use this helmet for bicycling or skateboarding?

While you could use it for these activities, this helmet is designed and DOT-approved specifically for motorized scooters and mopeds. For bicycling or skateboarding, we recommend helmets specifically designed for those activities.

What safety certifications do these helmets have?

These helmets are DOT approved, meeting U.S. Department of Transportation safety standards for impact protection and safety performance.

Why is proper helmet fit so important?

Proper fit is critical for safety. A helmet that's too loose can come off during a crash or shift during riding, while one that's too tight can cause discomfort and headaches. A properly fitted helmet provides maximum protection by staying in place and absorbing impact energy as designed.

Can I paint or customize my helmet?

While you can customize your helmet, be aware that painting or modifying it may void the warranty and could potentially compromise the helmet's protective properties. If you choose to customize, use only helmet-safe paints and avoid sanding or altering the shell structure.

What makes this helmet a good value?

You're getting DOT-approved safety protection at an affordable price, especially with our scooter/moped purchase special pricing. Quality safety gear shouldn't break the bank, and we make it accessible for all riders.

Is this helmet suitable for highway riding?

This half-helmet is best suited for city streets and lower-speed riding typical of scooters and mopeds. For highway riding at higher speeds, we recommend a full-face helmet for maximum protection.

How do I store my helmet when not in use?

Store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of it. A helmet bag or box can help protect it from dust and scratches.

Can I wear glasses with this helmet?

Yes! The half-helmet design easily accommodates eyeglasses or sunglasses, making it convenient for riders who wear corrective lenses.

What's the difference between a half helmet and a full-face helmet?

A half helmet covers the top and sides of your head but leaves your face open, providing lightweight comfort and excellent visibility. A full-face helmet covers your entire head and face, offering maximum protection. Half helmets are popular for scooters and mopeds, while full-face helmets are preferred for motorcycles and higher-speed riding.
