The front of this metal top has 3 buttons can be used to affix a helmet visor to shield your eyes against the hot rays of the sun and those cumbersome mosquitoes that seem to play Frogger on the highway.
Together with the helmet, UV anti-fog goggles are included to offer additional eye protection; plus, what’s vintage steampunk without the obligatory googles? Rubbish, that’s what it is.
Aside from the functionality of the goggles, this helmet offers a unique piece for your scooter rides… a fancy leather scarf; the company’s swag and ultimate gift; their way to sink their teeth deep into your wallet. And by God, once you see the leather scarf, you’ll find out that they were in the right.

While Spring and Fall, will simply make you an un decisive loon as to the leather scarf conundrum. This makes this helmet versatile for all types of seasons.
At 1.7 pounds this item is super light, which may be its greatest feature aside from a great vintage design. As compared to usual bicycle helmets, this product has great padding which can offer maximum comfort if it’s going to be worn for a long time. The pads also act as additional cushioning if you ever fall from your scooter.
Though this helmet may not be DOT certified, it offers a great retro style for everyday riding use.
There is a great saying, one postulated by Stephen King himself – and doesn’t he look trustworthy from his headshot photo at the end of The Shining? – “Mister, there is only one way to ride a skateboard… fast.” The same most be said of motorcycle, sport cars, and scooters.
Hence the reason why God, or some mechanical deity, invented duel lock brakes, leather jackets and the ever useful helmet. Let’s tackle the latter, forgo the former, and leave our lack of fashion sense for some other scholar to decipher. But, first, let’s have a campfire talk about the legendary scooter
Raider Deluxe Open Face Helmet
Unlike many other scooter helmets in the same price range, this item is DOT approved – which indicates its conformance to US Federal helmet safety standards.
This, unto itself, is a great selling point; as you can imagine, the second that standard is stamp on any product, is the very moment the CEOs start jacking up the prices. It’s rather neat to discover a helmet, with such lofty pedigree, that doesn’t leave your bank account dry.
Why is DOT important? Well DOT assures you that, if ever the time comes, you come into contact – at high speeds – against a brick wall the helmet will survive; this helmet wears you for protection, not the other way around.
It includes a snap off visor which can be used to protect your eyes from the blinding glare of the sun. To allow you to keep cool on warm days, a dual forehead vent is integrated into this helmet.
It also includes an optional zippered neck curtain which you can use for neck protection against harsh weather while on the road.
A chinstrap is also included to keep the helmet secure on your head. The interior is adequately cushioned to make you comfortable. With its full black paint job, it complements well to any color of your scooter.
However, the dark color makes you less visible at night. It also weighs a little heavier compared to scooter helmets which are not DOT certified; this could be because the helmet is made with more cushioning and a thicker shell material to keep it resistant from fall impacts.
Overall, this scooter helmet is a great bargain for those who want a DOT certified helmet. If you’re going with these helmet, if you simply can’t live without it, but discover that it lacks that Elton John flare that simply makes you stand out on a dark a dreary road, then stroll through Amazon’s digital aisle for some bling.

The strap also keeps the helmet securely in place on your head even when you’re in motion. Its interior is extremely cushioned to make you comfortable.
More significantly, it has passed and surpassed safety standards set by the DOT. Godzilla, goes the legend, stumped on this helmet and obtained a nasty blister on his leathery sole.
Though this helmet offers a great fit and good protection, some customers complained that the shield scratches easily and fog easily forms on it, which can block your view of the road.
Nevertheless, many customers are happy with the interior comfort that they receive from this helmet.

Top Scooter Helmet Background Info
“Cio, bella,” down some Roman high street you zoom, hair parting and waving, surfing in the breeze, with movie star flare.
Whizzing by splendid fountains, cheerful pedestrian, and the obligatory Monica Bellucci lookalike. That last bit almost making you lose control and spiral into the aforementioned fountain while those, now, pesky pedestrians – no doubt a flock of loud tourists- film your epic fail and unwilling transform you into a viral celebrity.
Now, that the less tantalizing ideal I just described is storming like a mad gremlin through your noggin’, let’s take a step back. Let’s take an effective breather. Who’s to blame, I ask you, for effectively transforming you into the butt of so many jokes?
Who’s the scoundrel found guilty for committing your respectable personage, your nurtured image, elevating your status, into office cooler mythology? Well, perhaps that strumpet, Monica Bellucci? Perhaps, maybe, your cavalier attitude? Perhaps, even, and gasp, the scooter? …
Nope, none of the above. It was a trick question! You simply shouldn’t have taken a European vacation. Have you learned absolutely nothing from Chevy Chase? Has National Lampoon thought you nothing? No good can come from visiting Europe.
Shame on you for thinking that Monica, that busty angel, was to blame. Tsk, tsk, tsk, for conceptualizing the bizarre notion that you, of all things, were at fault. And, finally, take a whip to your back and thoroughly chastise yourself for holding, for the merest of second the disrespectful concept that your scooter was the culprit!
It was Europe… have you seen their street maps? Drawn up by some city planner with a healthy and open tap on the corner pub; one that’s greasing the barkeep’s kid through medical school. Don’t blame the scooter, frown on Europe’s topsy turvy “organic” road maps, or do like South Park and blame Canada. NEVER THE SCOOTER!
Scooters, in general, unless you pass that fine line between creative originality and absolute rubbish with personalization, are simply amazing. They are smack dab in the middle, in that barren field, between the boring responsible mini-van and “your rebel attitude and lack of commonsense certainly steams my collar, take me now” Harley.
Why? Aside from the fact that they are cheap, not as cumbersome to navigate, and they run snaky lines through stalled traffic, they are innately Italian! And, like pizza, Porches, Jags, and Monica Belluccis, everything exported from that booted peninsula simply reeks of cool.
Also, like most things pulled from that country they must be handled with great care; not because you might break them, no sir, but because they might break you. They might, if not manned with utmost precautions, end up Micheal Corleane you.
Partaking too much of that rich Napolitan pie… Bam… heart attack. Playing loose and goosee with that fair maiden Monica… whack… her dad looks suspiciously like Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver. Zipping down the countryside on your Lamborghini.. screech and, well, you get the rest. Or, since you are here for some protection advice, not of the latex persuasion, simply switch your crimson red 4 wheeler for a motorized scarlet biped.
Ultimately, you get the gist. As such, remember the following axiom when mounting any sort of motorcycle, you my speedy friend, are the bumper; overall, stop being such a prat about the fact that it makes your hair flat out, and you look like the fifth Beatle, and buy yourself a proper helmet… and, like those latex wonders we winked, winked and insinuated up above, just because your neurons are sparking properly – a transcendental feat unto itself – and you’re being strangely responsible doesn’t mean your pick from that majestic rack at the pharmacy or the local bike shop has to be dull. Go wild, experiment, and have fun!
RED LIGHT! YIELD! STOP… if not for the name of love, at least for your pockets safety. Bang for your bucks, that’s this website’s and the standard flag we rally under. Let’s enumerated the most for that perfect scooter helmet:
- A snug fit. Your melon must be protected; splat is not a sound you want to hear when you dive headlong into a sidewalk. Bones mend, that gooey bit inside your skull doesn’t.
- Once more, let’s mute that nasty cartoonish soundbite: “splat”.
- Colors, reflective materials and lights. The running at night neon theorem. There’s a reason why joggers, runners and sport enthusiasts look like line dancers from some Vegas show the second the sun dips below the horizon. You have to be visible even from the International Space Station otherwise a different sort of “splat” followed by other gruesome noises you will hear. The ideal scene playing out in this manner. A half asleep trucker shots out of his daze and grabs the radio. You caught between his headlights, like the proverbial deer only on a vespa: “braker, braker, be weary of the Captain America midnight rider on Route 6.”
- Open face plate or closed face plate? The eternal enigma. It all depends on where you stand in regards to insect infused protein snacks. Me, I’m in the fence.
- DOT: that’s an international safety standard. Many a Crash Test Dummies forked up their lives for that insignia.
And, finally, think lightweight. Most scooter helmets, and that’s their beauty, weight in on the super-model sized of the scale. Unlike motorcycle helmets, that are made to resist the freaking apocalypse, these lads are constructed to go hand-in-hand with the sort of collision you might suffer on the seat of a vespa.
Helmets for Electric Scooters and emobility devices
Helm Slot Scooters
Summary: CPSC recommends a bicycle helmet for low speed powered scooters.
We usually target our helmet advice to bicycle riders, but the electric scooters and other emobility devices being put out by Bird, Lime, Scoot and others have very similar injury characteristics.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued an advisory recommending the use of bicycle helmets for riding powered scooters, along with knee and elbow pads. In 2006 they issued another recommendation that bicycle helmets are fine for low powered motorized scooters. Their current web page lists many activities with helmet recommendations, including 'kick scooter riding' and recommendsa a bike helmet. they also have an interesting study of electric scooter injuries and deaths done way back in 2004.
There is no US government or other standard specifically for electric scooters or other emobility devices. Speeds and impact velocities are similar to bicycle riding. So we would recommend that you look at our advice for buying a bike helmet and our page on helmets for the current season. You probably do not have to be as concerned with ventilation as a bicycle rider would, since riding an electric scooter takes less effort and will not produce as much body heat as bike riding. But since your helmet will probably end up being used for bike riding as well, you may want to take a look at the vents anyway.
Powered scooters are a different class of vehicle. They are less stable and controllable than a bicycle, but they can turn an urban area with poor access to transit into a walkable neighborhood. You need a helmet while riding them, particularly because at this point nobody else on the road is expecting a scooter. When cities begin to provide better accommodation for them on roadways they will be safer, and should provide a useful addition to our transportation choices.
eBikes are similar to bicycles but typically will be traveling faster than a pedaled bicycle. Some assist up to 28 mph. We have a separate ebike page for those.

Injury Data
The first study on scooter injury has been published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Injured scooter riders are showing up in many emergency departments, and the study details the injury pattern for a one year period for patients at two emergency departments in Southern California:Helm Slot Scooter Accessories
'In this study of a case series, 249 patients presented to the emergency department with injuries associated with electric scooter use during a 1-year period, with 10.8% of patients younger than 18 years and only 4.4% of riders documented to be wearing a helmet. The most common injuries were fractures (31.7%), head injuries (40.2%), and soft-tissue injuries (27.7%).' Helm Slot Scooter Parts
And here is a blog article with some leads to new e-scooter injury studies.The pattern that is emerging involves crashes mostly related to catching the tiny front wheel in pavement irregularities or potholes, followed by flipping over the front bars. Road rash is almost universal, followed by upper extremity injuries: hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders. And of course heads, since most scooter riders are not wearing helmets.
