In the country as a whole, the use of moped helmets decreased from 97 to 96 percent, which is the lowest level measured since 2013.

- It is a worrying combination when the number of vehicles is increasing while the use of protective equipment is decreasing. Especially now that we see a number of different types of electric vehicles being introduced, says NTF Secretary-General Marie Nordén.

East Goths bad at using bicycle helmet

In Östergötland, 96 percent use helmets and in Gotland 100 percent. However, the East Goths are poor at using bicycle helmets, the survey shows only 33 percent of the East Goths use bicycle helmets.

"Unfortunately, we do not see the positive trend among moped riders among cyclists, where the average is 33% for Östergötland, but falls even down to 18% as the worst municipality," says Lars Nordquist, operations manager at NTF Östergötland, in a press release.
