If you ride an e-bike, you already know that it’s not just a bicycle. It’s faster, heavier, and requires a different kind of gear, especially when it comes to your helmet.

That’s where the Bern Hudson Urban Helmet comes in. Designed specifically for the needs of e-bike commuters, the Hudson strikes a rare balance between top-tier protection, real-world comfort, and sleek, city-ready style. It’s lightweight, thoughtfully engineered, and packed with features that can make a noticeable difference on your daily ride.

Made For E-Bike Speeds

The Hudson isn’t just a regular bike helmet with a fancier name. It meets the NTA 8776 certification, a higher-impact safety standard built specifically for e-bikes traveling at speeds up to 28 mph. That means you’re getting a helmet designed to protect you in the kind of scenarios e-bike riders actually face.

Serious Safety Where It Counts

In independent testing, the Hudson earned a five-star safety rating from the Virginia Tech Helmet Lab — one of the most trusted sources in helmet testing. It also features MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) technology, which adds a critical layer of protection by helping to reduce rotational forces during angled impacts. Translation: it helps protect your brain better in the types of falls that actually happen.

Comfortable Enough For Everyday Use

Despite the extra protection, the Hudson is impressively light at around 305 grams (10.75 oz). It fits securely but not tightly, thanks to Bern’s Compass Fit system, and it won’t weigh you down during longer rides or hot summer days. With 13 vents and interior airflow channels, it does a great job keeping things cool without turning your commute into a wind tunnel.

Smart Features For Real Riders

One standout feature is the integrated rear LED light. It’s rechargeable via USB, offers up to 10 hours of runtime, and has three modes (steady, flash, and pulse) to help keep you visible on dark rides. There’s even a way to lock your helmet to your bike using the rear vent, which is just one of those small, smart details that shows Bern understands the real-world needs of riders. And then there’s the flip visor — a simple addition that makes a big difference in sun, wind, or light rain.

Looks As Good As It Rides

Available in a range of colors from classic matte black to brighter hues like high-viz yellow and turquoise, the Hudson doesn’t scream “sport helmet” or “commuter nerd.” It’s clean, low-profile, and fits right in whether you’re riding to work, running errands, or heading to a weekend brunch, leading it to being named the Best Urban Commuter Helmet by Outdoor Gear Lab.

Why The Hudson Stands Out For E-Bike Commuters

• Designed for higher-speed e-bike travel
• Certified to a tougher safety standard (NTA 8776)
• Features MIPS protection and a 5-star safety rating
• Lightweight and well-ventilated for comfort
• USB-rechargeable rear light for visibility
• Lock-friendly and visor-equipped for daily practicality
