Has anyone already tested it? You can only return it unopened and I would hate to spend 300 CHF on something I'm not even allowed to try out. Is it legal on the road in Switzerland or can I replace my bicycle helmet with it (for an S-pedelec)?

Question

Accepted Answer

In Switzerland it is not obligatory to wear a helmet when cycling... It is only "strongly recommended". https://blog.veloplus.ch/2018/02/14/velohelmtragepflicht-in-der-schweiz/

Answer

In this case, the Hövding is not suitable. It is only certified up to a speed of 20 km/h (0.1 sec reaction time). This information is missing in the description. However, the company itself wrote this on Twitter (18.05.2020).
