Bicycle Helmets & Helmets for E-bikes and E-Scooters
- at SIP Scootershop
Modern, lightweight and multifunctional
The days of simple Bicycle Helmet have been over for a while now. Today, manufacturers offer sophisticated models with all kinds of refinements. From integrated lighting and radio to connection to an App, everything is included. So if you are travelling on two wheels without a petrol engine, you have a choice of many different models. Helmets are still not compulsory for bikes without an Engine, but they are of course safer to ride. Pedelecs are classed as bicycles and can be ridden without head protection. The situation is different for e-bikes and S-pedelecs, where helmets are legally required because the speeds are much higher. If you are unsure whether your bike can be ridden without a Helmet, it is better to ask your dealer again.
You should choose your Helmet according to what you usually do with your bike. For example, a mountain biker needs different head protection than a racing cyclist. Downhill riders are certainly better protected with a full-face helmet than with a Bicycle Helmet for the city centre. So the requirements are just as different as the helmets on the market. Pay attention to material, catch and the right size. Many Bicycle Helmets can be made tighter and wider by turning a dial. Take your time with the perfect adjustment, because nothing is worse than a Helmet that doesn't fit comfortably "on the road".
Of course, we also have a large range of helmets for scooter riders, motorbikes and children.

What size should my Bicycle Helmet be?
The best way to measure the circumference of your head is with a Mesuring Tape. Place it about one centimetre above your eyebrows and then bring it back together at the back of your head. Compare the result with this table and you'll know pretty much exactly what size Bicycle Helmet for men and women should be. Glasses wearers measure the circumference in the same way, but choose the size so that the Glasses do not pinch in the Helmet.
Ladies/men
head circumference | 50/51 | 52/53 | 54/55 | 56/57 | 58/59 | 60/61 | 62/63 | 64/65 |
helmet size | XXS | XS | S | M | L | XL | XXL SIZE | 3XL |
Children's
head circumference | 49/50 | 51/52 | 53/54 | 55/56 |
helmet size | XXXS | XXS | XS | X |
Rules of thumb for buying a Bicycle Helmet
The selected Bicycle Helmet should be worn for ten to 15 minutes to check its comfort.
The Bicycle Helmet should fit snugly and not slip down the neck.
The head should have no room for manoeuvre in the Bicycle Helmet, i.e. when you turn the helmet, your head should "go with it".
The straps of the Catch should not press against the neck, but against the chin.
When the chin strap is closed, the Bicycle Helmet should not fall onto your face.
If Glasses pinch inside the Bicycle Helmet, a different Model should be chosen.
The straps should not interfere in any way and if a finger's width fits between the chin strap and the chin, everything is fine.
