BIG note on using a MTB helmet. You are at a VERY high risk of a collarbone fracture. To avoid the risk you can get a neck brace that will protect your spine and collarbone. In our rather large group of PEV riders collar bone fractures with mtb helmet’s are common. Just a heads up

@christianb8228 10 ай бұрын

Thanks for the heads up no pun intended…I was gonna go for the MTB helmet but now I’m gonna reconsider

I am curious as to why that would be the case, and also as to why an MTB helmet would be any more prone to collarbone injuries than I am assuming a regular motorcycle helmet.

I broke my collarbone and wrist about 6 months ago from an e scooter accident going about 30kmph. My advice tuck your chin and roll, also never ride with a bulky or heavy backpack.

I learned this tip when I used to ride motorcycles: When helmet shopping wear the helmet around the shop for 10 minutes. You'll feel self conscious and dorky, but will notice anything wrong with the fit. Myself I get pressure points at my temples and a mild headache with many helmets. For my scooter I found a Fox full face MTB helmet that fits perfectly.

Im going to rider fest tomorrow andni was actually going to ask you guys what gear you would recommend for me as someone who is going to be purchasing a Hyper Scooter and you guys uploaded this video. You guys are Amazing! Thank you and please keep those safety gear videos coming. I will definitely buy from your links as long as it supports the channel. 😎👊

my Bell Qualifier helmet saved my face: didn't see a pothole too deep for my scooter to handle, catapulted me over the handlebars at about 25 MPH, landed directly on my face, hit the street so hard the visor popped off. The only other protection I was wearing was gloves, no pads or armor (I was in shorts and a t-shirt!!), and I walked away with abrasions/bruises on my elbows and knees, but no serious injuries, not even a sore neck, even though I absolutely landed on my face. I was rowing and working out as I normally would the next day. I love my Bell Qualifier!

I ride my fantastic Treverun 11+ fighter stand up electric scooter almost all the time at its top speed of 51 mph, and I bought top of the line protection gear, wrist guards, elbow guards, knee guards, and a DOT helmet, and safety goggles for eye protection against flying bugs. All my protection gear feels comfortable & looks really attractive. I do wear above the knees shorts in the hot summer season but I'm very alert, and professional at riding at 51+ mph. I will probably switch to the full cover helmet that covers your chin in the event of a wipe out. Thanks for posting this video, it will give scooter owners the way to go in the field of good protection. Great work guys.👍👍🤸🤸🤸🤸😁🗝️

Thanks for the video Paul and Mitchell! I am pretty much in motorcycle gear these days riding EUCs. I do tend to spend more money on the motorcycle stuff that is light and comfortable (i.e. graphite helmet, D30 padding, etc.) However, I do like Mitchell's solid protection and low weight options.

Good topic! While I was riding escooters quite a bit (without much gear, which is stupid), another channel introduced me to es8's a couple months ago and I've been hooked ever since. Unfortunately I eat sh!t for the first time recently while carving over some acorns and since I've decided to get (and wear!) more safety gear after removing some skin on pavement and gravel! I immediately picked up the Triple Eight Sweatsaver Half Helmet and their elbow pads, some knee and hip/tailbone pads, a decent set of fingerless gloves (so I can still use the remote) and a motocross jacket with full upper body pads for riding in cooler weather when I can wear a sweatshirt or jacket over it. I feel so much safer wearing this gear while riding now!

I see you have answered my question about making this video from couple videos before. Thank you for making it and making this and answering my questions about protection gear and reassuring me that I am not strange for wearing full face helmet and riding on asphalt instead on sidewalks like others in Ireland and wearing nothing of safety gear.

I don’t see this often but I use the demon shin guards and absolutely love them for Arizona heart and the pair have lasted plus easy to put on/off. For helmet, again, I love my Kali full face down hill style and from my understanding it has no DOT but they did say in literature it could easily pass DOT (IDK?). All I have ever hit was low branches grazed but better than hitting my head while riding my EUC. Soard brand of wrist protectors slid nicely in one incident at 20mph still wearing same ones for 2 years and continuing.

@Schlaegel 10 ай бұрын

Half helmet is a problem waiting to happen. If you live in a hot climate, that will be a major factor in gear. For helmets, the Kali Invader 2.0 is great and cool.

@SkeptikosUTube 10 ай бұрын

Big correction at 2:24 -- FMVSS 218 is the DOT standard. It's the same thing. It does not require outside testing. And SHARP is a rating system, not really a certification. If a helmet gets 1 star from SHARP, that's not good. Probably what you should have said is to look for DOT + ECE or DOT + Snell.

There's a brand I came across while viewing a Nami Klima review video called BeyondRiders. They have armored clothing that looks more urban and something I'd prob more likely to wear that straight up mtb or moto gear. Can you guys do a review on their clothing particularly the armored cargo pants? Interested to see if the padding are in the right places and don't move around unlike some moto pants.

Can you guys test the gloves from Flatland 3D? I got mine on recommendation from Andrew (I think) from Freshly Charged. They have pads to keep you from hurting that scaphoid bone in your palm and braces on the back so you don't hyper extend your wrist if you fall. I like thw way they feel but I have absolutely no intention of testing whether they do or don't work well for that purpose.

Two months later, while the shoulder does ache at night, full use of the arm has thankfully returned - though I’m yet to restart my pushup routine. Here’s the lesson: Scooters are not like bicycles; do NOT take your hands off the handlebars at any time while in motion, not even for a second. Not even to scratch your nose or chin.

No pads either... sorry. Then again, we only ride around at 10-15mph. On the motorcycle, I always wore $1500 worth of armored clothing and a Shoei helmet, so I get it...
