But a bicycle is 15kg and a motor cycle 200kg. It's a lot more weight if on top pushing you into the road, or to force a change in direction in the case of being t boned.
Personally I think all gear should be ce approved. Cheap crap that doesn't work should be banned that goes for everything in my opinion.
