Q: "Where can i buy a Motorbike Helmet in Suzhou?
We are new to Suzhou and have just bought E-bikes but wish to use a Motor Bike Helmet with them...Any suggestions on where we can buy them? Shops/malls? not online?
If you can find areas that sell scooters, there is usually part stores close by that sell helmets. Chinese helmets suck. They have no impact absorbing material. basically just a hard hat. The helmet would never pass a DOT safety certificate for use in North America. It'll keep you from scraping your skull but won't absorb any impact. I looked at a full coverage helmet and it was the same.
A good bicycle helmet would probably be better, it has styrofoam lining, to absorb shock, but maybe not enough of a hard shell. All the motorcycle taxi drivers just wear construction helmets with no straps, which offers little safety and will fall off in a spill.
Wearing a proper helmet, you won't feel anything in a crash. Head injuries are serious. At home kids are supposed to wear helmets on bicycles. Think egg hitting the floor.
Look for something on line that has DOT certificate
