It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I have a scooter that is supposed to go upwards of 50mph, although the state speed limit for e-scooters is 20mph, and I need to find a better helmet. I am currently using a bike helmet.

I live 2 hours outside the city, and whenever I do make it to the city I never have time to find a motorcycle shop to look for a helmet.

So I am looking for a good online source. I have no plans to take the scooter up to the full 50mph, but have had it going 35mph. Normally I am going 15-25 though.

Also to note, a properly fitting helmet will be tight, but not painful.
