FAQs

What makes the MET Intercity MIPS helmet different for eBike riders?

It is certified to the NTA 8776 standard, the first safety standard specifically for eBikes. This means it's designed to dissipate significantly more impact energy and has higher impact testing speeds compared to traditional cycling helmets.

How does the MIPS-C2 system work?

MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a safety feature designed to add protection. The MIPS-C2 system allows the helmet to slide relative to the head in the event of a crash, helping to redirect damaging rotational motion.

How long does the battery on the integrated LED light last?

The battery life is up to 8 hours, depending on the selected operation mode. A full charge takes approximately one hour.

Can I remove the LED light for charging?

Yes, the MET Magnetic USB LED Light attaches magnetically, making it easy to remove for recharging via its USB-C port.

What are the different modes for the rear LED light?

The light has four operation modes: steady red light, blinking red light, strobe red lights, and an automatic night-safe mode indicated by a steady blue LED.

How do I adjust the helmet for the best fit?

Use the MET Safe-T Heta fit system, a dial located at the back of the helmet, to achieve an all-round adjustment and an individual fit. Ensure the straps are also correctly positioned.

Is this helmet suitable for children?

No, this helmet is designed for adult use and is certified to standards relevant for adult cycling, particularly eBike riding.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too loose or too tight

Adjust the MET Safe-T Heta fit system dial at the back. Turn clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen. Ensure the straps are also correctly adjusted.

USB LED light not turning on or charging

Ensure the light is properly attached to the magnetic mount. Connect a USB-C cable to the light and a known working power source. Check if the charging indicator light appears. If not, try a different cable or power source.

Visor obstructs vision

The visor is adjustable. Try repositioning it to a more comfortable angle that clears your line of sight without compromising protection.

Padding feels uncomfortable

Ensure the padding is correctly installed. Try hand-washing the padding to soften it. If discomfort persists, consider if the helmet's internal shape is suitable for your head shape.
