In recent years, the popularity of motorcycles in Hong Kong has flourished, and the number of people who aspire to become road riders is increasing day by day. Although the sharing of experiences or tips on applying for and driving a motorcycle test keeps pace with the times, many "students" are still nervous even after they have made up their minds to take the test for a motorcycle driving license. There is no other reason. If you have not yet mastered the control of a motorcycle, you are worried that you will be accidentally injured when you are learning to drive or even driving on the road.

Motorcycle protection equipment can not only increase the sense of security, but also allow you to get better protection and reduce the degree of injury when you make mistakes. It is very important to know that falls, injuries and sprains during the car test can delay the test at least, or affect your livelihood at worst. Wearing suitable equipment is equivalent to buying accident insurance, which is very important. However, when entering the world of motorcycles for the first time, "Xueshen" may not hope to be in place in one step, but wants to get basic protection at a cheaper price. If you want to satisfy the above wishes, Helmet King can definitely help you!

頭盔

According to Hong Kong law, motorcyclists and passengers must wear helmets that comply with road traffic safety equipment regulations, and school riders are no exception. How to choose and buy the first helmet in your life is very important for you. When choosing a novice helmet, we can choose based on the following three points:

(1) Compliance with safety standards;

(2) clear vision; and

(3) Comfortable to wear.

In terms of safety specifications, the helmet you buy should at least have the US DOT safety certification. It will be safer if it also has the more stringent certification of the European Union ECE 22.05 and Japan's JIS.

Generally speaking, the price of an entry-level full-face helmet ranges from about $800-$1000, and that of an open-face helmet is about $400-$800. The full-face hood can provide better protection, but the wearing experience is relatively hot and cramped, and the field of vision will be narrower; the half-face helmet has a better field of vision and a more comfortable feeling, but the protection is relatively inferior (the chin has no protection) . Before making a decision, all novice riders can go to the Helmet King store to try it on, and measure whether the wearing experience is suitable before making a decision; the store staff will also share more experience in purchasing helmets. 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.

Full-face preferred— SCORPION EXO-520 AIR

If you choose to wear a full-face helmet to learn to drive, I believe that you also have a certain pursuit of driving safety. The EXO-520 AIR series of the American brand Scorpion is the best choice for you to buy your first helmet. The Scorpion helmet has been tested in a wind tunnel and meets aerodynamics, quietness and comfort. It has also passed the ECE 22.05 certification and complies with the safety regulations of Hong Kong, Macau, Australia, Canada and other countries. The most important thing is that its price is affordable, and it can be traded for more than 1,000 yuan. There are also a variety of garlands to choose from. It is a helmet style that you should not miss!

The first choice for cheap half-covers — LUBRO CRUISE TECH MONO

Compared with the full-face helmet, the half-face helmet has an absolute advantage in terms of weight and ventilation. Whether it is a "study god" who is learning to drive a motorcycle, or a P-brand knight who has just embarked on the road of knighthood and has not had much experience in wearing a helmet, the half-shield type is indeed easier to "entry", especially in the hot summer and the scorching sun When used in the air, it is more attractive to the full-face, and the rider's field of vision will be wider and clearer when wearing the half-face.

Among such helmet brands, Lubro can be said to be the first choice for beginners to learn to buy helmets. This brand from Taiwan has always been loved by riders for its high CP value. Among them, CRUISE TECH MONO is a helmet designed with the goal of being the most classic, cheap and simple. It is very suitable for novices who want to learn how to drive with basic needs such as safety, durability, ventilation and low cost, and a super high CP value choice for delivery service riders.

knight gloves

Rider gloves can be said to be the second most important personal equipment after helmets, and they are also the most convenient motorcycle protection equipment. In the event of an accident, most riders subconsciously wish to support themselves with their hands. However, the palms and wrists are composed of tiny bones, which are very prone to fractures when subjected to external shocks. 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 who have more chances of falling, simply wearing a pair of short motorcycle gloves made of wear-resistant materials can greatly reduce the chance of "seeing red"!

Gloves of Choice—FURGAN JET D3O Rider Gloves

Furygan is a well-known French motorcycle body parts brand. It specializes in functional and safety protection products for the riding needs of motorcycle riders. It is also a favorite brand of many top racers in the world. It is often used in MotoGP and other international competitions. I can see it! According to the store manager's statistics, it is also one of the most popular brands of Helmet King.

FURGAN JET D3O gloves are made of cowhide and synthetic fibers, which are durable, wear-resistant, and not easy to be damaged after long-term use; at the same time, they are equipped with knuckle protection parts to provide sufficient impact protection in case of accidents. The mesh on the back of the hand and fingers adopts a breathable design, so there is no need to worry about stuffiness, ventilation and other issues, allowing the rider to enjoy riding fun and safety without being hindered by the weather. FURGAN JET D3O is affordable, and women's clothing is also available.

Gloves of Choice—FURGAN ROCKET 3 ALL SEASON Rider Leather Gloves

FURGAN ROCKET 3 ALL SEASON is made of goat leather and synthetic fibers, which are also durable and wear-resistant. It is designed with a waterproof and breathable film, so you don’t need to worry about stuffy heat and ventilation. Weather hinders, enjoy riding fun and safety.

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, and the sudden blunt feeling will cause the rider to fall to the ground with the rider, or reverse on the spot and other minor accidents Among them, 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. Knights can also be purchased together with other parts at Helmet King!

All novice knights 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!
