Beginning in Los Angeles, Wheels will mount helmets on the rear fenders of its bikes that can be unlocked and worn during a trip, then reattached to the bike. The helmets will have removable liners, Wheels said in a blog post. Policy makers in cities from Singapore to Paris to San Francisco have begun hitting the brakes on e-scooters, banning them from sidewalks or restricting where and when they can be used.
Wheels cited in its blog post a recent UCLA study that found head injuries sustained by riders who were not wearing helmets were the most common injuries among 249 people admitted to emergency rooms after electric scooter accidents in California.
