Hey everyone. I'm Dustin. I have nearly 20 years of experience in the bike and e-bike industry, and today I'm going to show you my expert pick for the best electric bike helmet. Stick around.
All right, so today I'm going to show you my expert pick for the best bike helmet for electric bikes. But before I do, hit that subscribe button below. Stay in touch with us here at SixThreeZero.

All right, so e-bike riding has become super popular, and you're looking for a helmet, and you need to find something that's going to give you full coverage because you need to protect your head, definitely. And I would not recommend riding an e-bike at all without a helmet on. Even though I see it all the time, it is not a smart decision. So I have the SixThreeZero helmet here that I think is the best pick for a bike helmet for electric bikes. And let me explain why.
So first of all, a lot of the old school helmets, they're mainly on the top of the head. And of course road racers, want to have coverage, but at the same token, they also need lightness. So that's why you have a lot of these holes and these vents because the idea, is how can you get the most protection with the least amount of helmet? Well, the reality is you're not going to be as best protected with the least amount of helmet. But of course, if you need to reduce weight and you're a road cyclist, you're going to try to get the most protection for the least amount of weight. In the case of an e-bike, you need the most protection and do not worry about the weight because the bike's going to do a lot of the work. And e-bikes, accidents happen frequently. So what you need is you need full coverage.
So you can take a look here at the SixThreeZero helmet and you can see it comes down in the back, so you're going to protect a lot of the back of your head. Also, the side coverage, is basically full coverage, and on the sides here. And that's what I was saying about a traditional old-school helmet, it's really just going to be up here. You're not going to have the helmet coming down like this. So it's sort of a hybrid between a snowboarding/skiing helmet, skateboarding helmet, and a bike helmet where you're getting that full coverage out of it.
Now, in addition to that though, you've got the full coverage, but you have air vents here. So you've got two in the front, two in the top, and then two in the side back. So air's going to get in there and cool your head while you ride. It's not like it's going to be sweating and there, are vents to come in and bring the air in, so you have a nice cool experience while you're riding.
The other huge benefit to this helmet now is in the back here you have a fully adjustable dial. So we have two sizes right now, the medium and the large. But for the micro-adjustments, go ahead and take my hat off, here you have this dial. So when you put it on, let's say it's a little bit lose, you just turn the dial and now it becomes snug, and that's when you can clip in and it's not going anywhere. So this is going to make it even safer. You can see it in the back here, and it's simple. You just turn the dial like that, just like that. There you go. Now you can feel safe when you're riding. So again, for an e-bike, you really want that side and full coverage.
The thing I also love about this helmet, I might be biased, but I think it's aesthetically pretty pleasing. We have a huge color palette of helmets. You can check them out on the website. This isn't even all the colors. We've got more than this, including a navy helmet and another men's gray helmet. But we've also got a cool design. We've got this little lip here, the mini visor, which just adds something extra so it doesn't just feel like a helmet on your head, really. It kind of looks a little bit nice so you can feel like you can ride protected. Also, if you have a SixThreeZero bike, we've got some matching colors for our cream, our navy, and our teal. We've got also additional colors like our mint green or baby blue. Hopefully, those can match your bike, whether or not it's from a different brand or not.
So my expert pick for the best helmet for electric bikes is the SixThreeZero helmet. You can find this on our website, sixthreezero.com.
