You're looking for a pink bike helmet for women—a helmet that not only protects your head but also matches your style. The selection is vast, and it can be tough to navigate all the specs and marketing jargon. That's why we at Joybuy have created this guide with practical information and some concrete recommendations to help you make a choice that fits your needs.
Before we dive into the products, here are a few key points to help you choose. A good helmet is more than just a pretty colour.
A helmet only works if it fits properly and is comfortable. Helmet size is indicated in centimetres and corresponds to your head's circumference. Measure your head's circumference with a measuring tape, about one centimetre above your eyebrows and ears. Most modern helmets are an adjustable bike helmet with a dial on the back. This allows you to fine-tune the fit, ensuring the helmet stays securely on your head without feeling too tight.
Safety comes first. All bicycle helmets sold in Europe must comply with the EN 1078 standard, meaning they are approved for cycling, skating, and skateboarding. The construction typically consists of a hard outer shell (often PC) and a shock-absorbing interior made of EPS foam.
Visibility is crucial, especially in the early morning, at dusk, or at night. A bike helmet with a light is a smart choice. An integrated helmet with a rear light ensures that traffic behind you can see you clearly. This is an especially important consideration for those looking for an e-bike helmet, who often move a bit faster through traffic.
Consider what you will primarily use the helmet for. A city bike helmet is often a lightweight helmet with plenty of ventilation openings for comfort during daily rides. A skate helmet usually has a rounder shape with fewer, but larger, ventilation holes and often provides more coverage at the back of the head. Many of these models are unisex and therefore also suitable as a men's bike helmet or girls' bike helmet.
Based on the criteria above, we have compiled a list of popular choices for you.

1. Is an e-bike helmet mandatory in the Netherlands? For a standard electric bike with pedal assistance up to 25 km/h, a helmet is not mandatory but is strongly recommended. For a speed pedelec (which provides assistance up to 45 km/h), an approved helmet (NTA 8776 standard) is mandatory. The helmets mentioned above are suitable for standard e-bikes.
2. How do I know what size bike helmet I need? Measure the circumference of your head at its widest point, about 1 cm above your eyebrows. Compare this number (in cm) with the helmet's sizing guide. Thanks to adjustable systems, most helmets have a range of a few centimetres, for example, 55-58 cm.
3. Can I also use a skate helmet for cycling? Yes, as long as the helmet complies with the European safety standard EN 1078, it is approved for both cycling and skating. The OutdoorMaster Oryx is a good example of this. Always check the helmet's specifications.
