Pros and cons
Lumos Helmet
Pros
- Weight of 370 to 450 g sits right on the group median of 385 g, so the shell is not the reason to look elsewhere.
- Lumos Helmet starts at $9.95, well under Bern's $44.50 for a helmet from another brand on the shortlist.
- Fit is published as 55-58cm, 58-61cm, which lets you check your size before ordering rather than guess at it.
Cons
- Support runs on email and help centre, so there is no phone line for sizing or a crash claim, while 30.4% of brands in this group publish phone support.
- Fit is listed as 55-58cm, 58-61cm, and a head size outside that run is worth confirming through email and help centre before you order.
- At $9.95 you are buying the helmet itself, so a rider who also wants a lock ends up with another brand such as Hiboy, a lock.
P2R Sports
Pros
- Entry price of €39.90 sits mid-field at 14 of 24, and below Bern at $44.50.
- Light shell at 230 g, ranking 2 of 9 on weight in this category.
- Integrated lights are built in, so a night ride needs no separate bar light to mount and charge.
Cons
- Crash replacement is not offered, so a helmet written off in a fall is a full new purchase.
- Support runs on email and help centre only, with no phone line for fit and sizing questions.
- Standards are listed as cpsc only, so riders who need a different local certification should check before buying.
Who each suits
Lumos Helmet
Who it suits
- Commuters who ride home after dark and want lights built into the helmet.
- Riders inside 55-58cm, 58-61cm who want crash cover included at the point of purchase.
- Anyone replacing a helmet after a fall, since crash replacement is part of the package.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone shopping for a lock as well as a helmet: Hiboy is listed as a lock.
- Riders who want a spoken answer when a claim is urgent, since Lumos Helmet runs on email and help centre and Bern is the other helmet here to check.
- Buyers after a complete e-bike rather than a helmet: Magicycle Business lists $1,049.
P2R Sports
Who it suits
- Commuters riding home after dark who want lights in the shell rather than a separate bar light.
- Riders who put weight above everything else, since 230 g ranks near the top of the weight list.
- Buyers who want third-party lab evidence, Virginia Tech 5-star, Top 10, score 8.14, before committing €39.90.
Who should look elsewhere
- Riders on the tightest budget, since Lumos starts at $9.95 and sits well under the €39.90 entry here.

Questions about each
Lumos Helmet
What does a Lumos Helmet cost at entry?+
Lumos Helmet is a helmet with an entry price of $9.95. The roundup places it 2 of 24 brands on price from, so it sits near the cheap end of this category. Bern, the other helmet in the comparison, starts at $44.50.
Does it come with lights, and what else is included?+
Integrated lights are built into the Aero GT, so a separate lamp is not part of the setup. Crash replacement is included, as 60% of brands in this group do. The helmet weighs 370 to 450 g, which is around the group median of 385 g.
P2R Sports
How much does a P2R Sports helmet cost?+
The helmet range starts at €39.90. That is the entry point for the whole collection rather than a single promotion, and it is the figure to line up against Lumos at $9.95 and Bern at $44.50. A helmet is bought once rather than renewed, so there is no later price step to budget for.
What sizes does the range cover?+
Fit runs S 52-55 cm to XL 61-64 cm, so one brand covers a wide spread of head sizes from small through to extra large. Measure around your head, then match that number against the sizing on the product page before ordering. Riders near the narrow or wide end of the scale should check carefully, since the outer shells are where a poor fit shows up on a long ride.
