Protection- Electric Boards

The protection gear in this collection is chosen specifically for electric skateboard use — higher impact ratings than standard skateboard pads, ventilation for the speeds and sustained sessions involved, and compatibility with the kind of urban and path riding most Melbourne electric skaters do.

Helmet: non-negotiable at any speed. A certified helmet rated for electric skating or cycling speeds is essential. Half-shell helmets suit most urban electric skating. Full-face options for off-road and higher-speed riding.

Wrist guards: the most commonly injured body part in electric skateboard falls is the wrist — the instinct to catch yourself means your wrists absorb the impact. Wrist guards significantly reduce fracture risk. Worth wearing every time regardless of ability level.

Knee and elbow pads: important for beginners learning board feel and for all riders on off-road or higher-speed terrain. Less critical for experienced urban commuters on familiar routes but always worth having.
