How do I measure my head for the right Scooter & Moped Helmet 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 (Small, Medium, Large, or X-Large). For detailed instructions, see our complete sizing guide.

How do I know if my Scooter & Moped 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. The NHTSA provides detailed fit guidelines for optimal safety.

Always replace your helmet after any crash or significant impact to ensure maximum protection.
