How?!
@thedavemiester Wearing one while standing for any length of time would be tiring. Also, it would screw with your balance. They’re heavy, and they would make your head wobble more than normal, and that would throw you off. Since maintaining balance is already tricky on a scooter, this would not be good.
I’m not convinced. I’ve seen plenty of people wearing full face helmets in their scooters just fine. They’re a little heavy and hot (which is why cyclists don’t wear them), but it’s absolutely not to the extent that it’s creating more danger than it prevents.
@Zagorath If you say so. Maybe it’s just me.
@thedavemiester
I wear one and ride a motorcycle for an entire day without noticing any extra strain from holding it up.
I’m not saying that full face helmets are a good requirement for scooters, but I don’t think weight is the reason.
I strongly disagree with you.

@thedavemiester “I strongly disagree with you.”
That’s okay - you’re allowed to :)
