Trek Charge WaveCel: The Urban Helmet Designed for E-Bikes

Trek unveils the Charge WaveCel, an urban helmet designed for cyclists who ride fast, often, and in traffic. NTA-8776 certified, it meets the requirements for e-bikes traveling up to 45 km/h—a real plus for e-bike riders. The helmet features a rechargeable Flare taillight, visible from up to 400 meters away, secured with a magnet for easy, everyday use. Designed for the city, it’s aimed at commuters, those making daily trips, and cyclists who want to be more visible.

The Charge WaveCel urban helmet has earned a four-star rating from Virginia Tech, one of the leading independent safety certifications. WaveCel technology remains at the heart of the helmet, with a structure designed to reduce the risk of concussion. Compared to the previous version, it’s 50 g lighter and offers 150% more ventilation, making it ideal for hot days. The Boa® system ensures a precise fit, complemented by easy-to-adjust straps. The Fidlock buckle allows for quick fastening, even while wearing gloves. A lockable rear ventilation system allows you to secure the helmet to your bike, which is convenient in the city. The Flare light offers four flash modes and recharges in 90 minutes.

Trek prioritizes effective daytime visibility, which is essential in heavy traffic. The urban helmet focuses on both safety and comfort, with a design tailored for everyday use.
It’s aimed at urban cyclists, e-bike riders, and anyone who wants to ride with greater peace of mind. Its high-speed certification makes it a smart choice for the new ways people are using e-bikes. The Charge WaveCel combines advanced protection, built-in visibility, and modern ergonomics. It’s a helmet that keeps pace with the growing popularity of bicycles as a mode of transportation.
