Do e-scooter riders need helmets?
Irish guidance strongly recommends protective equipment even where it is not legally required. A helmet and high-visibility gear are especially sensible for dark mornings, wet evenings and busy roads.
What to choose
- A properly fitted helmet.
- Reflective vest or high-vis accessories.
- Bright front and rear lighting.
- Reflective details on bags or clothing.
