Protect your brain—ride your e-bike safely! Look for helmets with an NTA-8776 rating. These helmets offer better protection at higher speeds and cover more of your head. If your e-bike can go over 28 mph, consider a light motorcycle helmet for proper protection. Let’s keep our Etiwanda students safe!
