Helmets: XNITO ‘Old School’ Series About $150
Most people are unaware that their facial and skull bone structure tends to fail (break, that is) in impacts above 10 mph. With manual bikes, that’s about average speed. With e-bikes, you’ll be going much faster, so get a helmet better suited for the e-bike era. XNITO makes ebike helmets rated NTA-8776, which protects in crashes up to 28 mph - or the top assist speed of a Class 3 e-bike. Plus, it comes with an LED headlight and tail light for better nighttime visibility. It feels like most any other bike helmet, but gives much more impact protection and has sharp style with many color options. Plus, XNITO will plant a tree in your honor with a helmet purchase. Prices vary.
