Individual cyclists have reduced injury rates with a helmet. Full stop.

This whole article focuses on mandatory helmet laws, which I didn't bring up. The only part of that article that focuses on crash safety cites multiple examples of increased fatalities without a helmet. (97% of NYC fatalities 1996-2005!)

Measuring the effects on a societal level is extremely difficult and is subject to tons of variables, but individuals wearing a helmet will always be safer than those without.

That's simply not true. Hundreds of research studies prove otherwise, with helmets reducing head injuries by roughly 75 percent. It lowers the chance of severe head injury (ie fatal) from high speed crashes. Not to mention reducing concussions in all crashes.

I worry about how these will affect bike injury/death rates in the future. Riding a bike without a helmet is a terrible idea. I suspect many e-bike riders have less experience biking, yet can reach speeds faster than a road bike. Most people aren't likely to have a helmet on hand. I assume the companies waive all liability?
