All means of transport have their risks and although bikes are considered not to be so dangerous, there are millions of examples which can prove this supposition wrong.
Regardless of whether we refer to the traditional bikes or to the latest technological invention in this field, the electric bikes, these devices can be just as dangerous as cars or motorcycles.
Therefore, different laws from different countries have stipulated the use of helmets, both for kids and for grown-ups.
If you want your child to be safe when he or she rides their bikes, you should encourage them to wear a helmet every time to get on their bikes.
These are not expensive, they are not something you have to replace every two months or so and they can prevent a lot of unpleasant, even tragic situations.
It is very important that the helmet your child wears fits them because otherwise, they are not fully protected in case they are involved in an accident.
In fact, specialists claim that wearing a helmet that doesn't fit you is just as bad as not wearing a helmet at all.
A fitted helmet means that you are comfortable wearing it, wrapping your head all around.
Also, it has to be stable so that it handles an impact better.
When wearing such a helmet, this should cover your sides and therefore, it should also be placed low enough.
Also, all helmets have straps which should keep the helmet levelled.
Whether you ride electric bikes or traditional bikes, it is very important that your wear a helmet throughout your entire ride because in case you are involved in an accident, a helmet can save you from very serious injuries, especially head injuries which can even result in death.
