Important news for every e-bike rider in Portugal. 🚨⚡
A law proposal that would make helmets mandatory for all e-bike users has just passed its first vote in Parliament. It’s not law yet - it still needs to go through committee discussions and a final vote - but we want our community to be informed and prepared as it can become a law.
What’s being discussed:
🔹 Mandatory helmets for all e-bike riders and passengers
🔹 Fines between €30 and €150 for riding without one
🔹 Reflective clothing or equipment required from dusk to dawn
Our take at Martin’s E-Bike?
We’ve always believed in riding safely and comfortably - and a good helmet is a big part of that. Whether this becomes law or not, protecting your head is never a bad idea.
🪖 We stock a wide range of helmets in the store, so you can be ready ahead of time. Come by, try one, and let us help you find the right fit.
