Ozmo was born when two helmet-industry veterans noticed a strange contradiction in the cycling world: family cargo e-bikes were growing rapidly as a form of transportation, but the helmet options for adult riders were much better than the options for young passengers. Ozmo set out to close this safety gap. 

Kids are precious cargo, and Ozmo helmets keep young noggins safer than any other helmet on the market. The Sidekick is the first kids helmet to be certified to NTA 8776, the safety standard for riding e-bikes up to Class 3 (28 mph). Ozmo recognizes that kids’ heads are distinct from adults’s heads, and their design reflects this. The Sidekick uses low-density foam that gives a softer construction for softer skulls. The Fidlock buckle is both easy to use and avoids any pinching, and a flatter profile on the back of the helmet makes it comfortable for riding in trailers or bike seats.

Another of Ozmo’s signature developments is the Damage Defense technology, which includes a layer of material on top of the helmet designed to take the impact if the helmet is dropped on the ground while off the bike. This feature protects the safety features of the Sidekick over time, without being worn down by clumsy handling. On top of all this, the Sidekick includes the widely respected MIPS technology for additional safety. 

All that safety information is great for parents, but Ozmo didn’t forget what kids care about: colors! The Sidekick is available in a range of fun, bright colorways, including a number of custom illustrated designs. Plus, the helmet features a dedicated Charm Slide where kids can customize their helmet with any Croc-compatible charms. 

The Ozmo Sidekick is an exciting and necessary development in the world of transportation cycling—the perfect Sidekick for your sidekick!
