In Hong Kong, the proportion of people riding motorcycles is relatively small, and motorcycles are still a relatively unfamiliar thing to many people. Therefore, after making up their minds to take the motorcycle driving license test, many people will be quite nervous and hope to buy some equipment. In addition to increasing the sense of security, the right equipment can make you better protected and reduce the degree of injury when you make a mistake. It is very important to know that falls, injuries and sprains during the car test can delay the progress of the car test at least, and affect work income at worst. Wearing suitable equipment is equivalent to buying accident insurance, which is very important. Today, let Helmet King show you how to choose suitable equipment for novice knights before learning to drive!

頭盔

According to the laws of Hong Kong, motorcyclists and passengers must wear helmets that comply with road traffic safety equipment regulations. Of course, school riders are no exception. How to choose the first helmet in life is for you. It is quite important. When choosing a novice helmet, we can choose according to the following major principles: compliance with safety specifications, clear vision, and comfortable wearing. In terms of safety specifications, the helmet you buy should at least have the American DOT safety certification, and it would be better if it has the more stringent certification of the European Union ECE 22.05, Japan JIS and other certifications.

Generally speaking, the price of an entry-level full-face helmet is about $1000, and that of an open-face helmet is about $500-$800. The full-face hood can provide better protection, but the wearing experience is relatively stuffy and cramped; the half-face helmet has a better field of vision and a more refreshing feeling when worn, but the protection is relatively inferior. Novice riders can go to Helmet King store for a trial wear, and measure whether the wearing experience is suitable before making a decision. Many riders will choose to upgrade their helmets after they get the P card or "reject P". At that time, the replaced helmets can be used as rear passenger helmets or as a spare.

Fall-face preferred — ZEUS ZS-811

Among many helmet brands, ZEUS has always been loved by riders because of its excellent CP value, and ZS-811 is an evergreen product that has been sought after by the helmet king for many years. All because of the safety standards passed the strict European ECE and Japan JIS certification, the safety guarantee is absolutely confident. Although ZS-811 does not have built-in ink, it also has a lighter advantage compared with other full-face helmets, and there are more eye-catching Japanese Daruma paintings and other plain colors to choose from. No wonder Popularity has been high!

First choice for half covers — ZEUS ZS-613B

Compared with the full-face helmet, the half-face helmet has an absolute advantage in terms of weight and ventilation. For P-brand knights who have just embarked on the road of knighthood and do not have much experience in wearing helmets, the half-shield type is indeed easier to "entry", and the field of vision will also be wider and clearer. Although the ZS-613B is compact and light, it still has a built-in dark lens design, which is very suitable for daily use. Even if you want to upgrade the full-face helmet in the future, this ZS-613B can still be used as a spare or rear seat helmet, which is very practical!

Knight gloves

Knight gloves can be said to be the second most important personal equipment after the helmet. Because when an accident occurs, most knights will subconsciously hope to support their bodies with their hands, but the palms and wrists are composed of small bones, which are very easy to cause fractures when they are impacted by external forces. Even if there is no fracture, the friction between the hand and the ground will affect the knight's life or work, and severe cases may cause permanent damage. For novice riders, choosing a pair of short motorcycle gloves made of wear-resistant materials is much better than going into battle empty-handed!

Gloves of Choice — KOMINE GK-220 Spring/Summer Drop-Resistant Gloves

KOMINE GK-220 adopts mesh ventilation design, which will not be very cramped to wear. At the same time, it uses carbon fiber palm guards, built-in knuckle guards, TPR plastic steel guards, etc., the protection is absolutely guaranteed. The material is light, you won't feel uncomfortable wearing it for a long time, and the price is affordable, it is definitely suitable for iron knights of different positions.

Choice of Gloves — JRP-BPS Gloves

The BPS cowhide gloves made by JRP are definitely for vintage lovers. BPS is made of water-resistant processed calfskin. It has a super soft texture that cannot be compared with other materials. In addition, it adopts classic outseam tailoring, which makes it more retro and makes people love it.

Elbow Pads

Novice riders are not yet familiar with the dynamics and balance of motorcycles, and sometimes the motorcycle suddenly shuts off due to improper gear operation, etc., which may cause the rider to fall to the ground with people and the car, or reverse the car on the spot. In the process, the hands and feet are the most vulnerable parts to be injured or even fractured. A pair of elbow pads with sufficient protection can effectively protect your hands and feet and avoid fractures. It is a motorcycle protective gear that novices need very much.

All novice riders should prepare suitable equipment before learning to drive and driving test. Naturally, you can learn to drive with peace of mind and peace of mind! Helmet King hereby wishes everyone a smooth test and a safe road, and we will see you on the road in the future!
