    I would wear a full face one on my e-bike, but I’m worried about looking like a dork.

    I guess an alive dork is better than a dead dork, huh?

      If you’re riding a european pedelec (pedal assist) up to 25km/h, bike helmet should be fine, if you’re riding electric motorcycle (25km/h+, accelerator) then maybe motorcycle helmet is more appropriate.

      You won’t look like a dork when road rash makes your face look like Voldemort made out with a cheese grater.

      Maybe you can get a mountain bike helmet instead of a motorbike one, I guess the protection is also more adapted to the speed of a bicycle.

      A while back I had a friend take a dive on an electric scooter. Black eye, broken collar bone, broken lower leg. If you’re on two wheel, definitely wear a helmet.
