Diesel, the foremost authority on cool, has designed highly styled head gear for scooter riders. It is becoming more and more popular to ride around the city in a scooter and the folks at Diesel have taken notice.

The brilliant addition to the Diesel brand will become available in U.S. stores in the fall for an average price of $250. Not only does the head gear excel in aesthetics, the utility and design are advanced with interchangeable visor, padded stitched ergonomic neck support, and a trademark Mohican crest.

The aviator visor drops down and is removable. It is made with clear, anti-scratch polycarbonate elements that offers 100% protection against UV rays. The Mowie, what the folks at Diesel are calling it, is available in sizes ranging from XS to XL and in mat White (pictured), mat Black, mat Green, and mat Bronze.

Additionally, the Diesel Creative Team considered hygienics when designing the Mowie. The padding and leather neck-roll are hygienically treated and is fully removable for washing or replacing parts with ease. The micro-lock retention system makes it easy to fasten and unfasten the buckle to adjust comfort. The outer shell is made of High Resistant Thermoplastic resin in 2 different sizes allowing all shaped heads to fit comfortably in the Diesel Mowie.

This is just one more fashionable reason to nix habits of driving your car or catching cabs around the city. Well, consider visiting your nearest Vespa or Piaggio dealer.

Correction: Previously, this article stated that New York City waives meter fees and tunnel fees for scooters. Scooters are catergorized as motorcycle and pay a discounted rate at tolls. Motorcycles are also required to pay at meters.
