I have a full dot motorcycle helmet my kids gave me before the bike was even finished. Then after a while I switched to a bike helmet because it was summer time in the city.
Then I switched to an ebike. Here they don't require a helmet with an ebike. At least for adults I think. I haven't been wearing a helmet with it. I should wear one and I plan to start wearing one tomorrow. Of course I have said that for a couple of months now.
I wonder if I plead that the bike isn't motorized, it's just the trailer that is, can I beat a ticket. |

Check to see what standard California requires. They should be able to tell you if they require DOT, Snell Foundation, whatever.
If they require a DOT motorcycle helmet, a bike helmet won't cut it, and you'd better believe any cop who'd jack you up for your skid-lid knows the difference.
( I was going to cite the obsolete ANSI Z90.1. That tells us how long it's been since i bought a motorcycle helmet...) |

I am a strong advocate of putting on the best head helmet before you start your first ride. Your future income far outweighs the puny cost of the best helmets; don't go cheap here. My lady friend crashed in her first mile. Her helmet saved her from serious injury.
I may look goofy in my full coverage $128 motorcycle helmet, bright yellow jacket, and whatever else. But I am not into pain and becoming an invalid.
My thought: I want 4-wheel cagers to know I am serious about getting home in one piece at the end of my ride.
Read and learn; there is a lot of experience here!
