E-commerce · Motorcycle Gear
The rider wants a helmet that fits their head shape, and your page only gives a size letter.
A helmet is the one item a rider will not buy from a photograph, and the one they will not wear if it hurts. It must sit snug without a pressure point on the forehead, and the cheek pads must touch without squeezing. Size M in one brand is not size M in another.
A 90-minute audit call and a written, scored report. Turnaround, reporting and term are agreed in writing after the audit.
In one paragraph
Motorcycle helmet e-commerce is the online sale of full-face, modular, open-face and half helmets, sized by head circumference and judged on fit, visor, weight and certification marks. GullySales builds the head-measurement guidance, the visor and ventilation detail and the exchange route that let a rider choose a helmet without a trial room.
So the page has two jobs. Teach the buyer to measure their own head and know their shape, and then make clear what the helmet is: shell, visor, vents, weight, and the certification mark the maker states.
Last updated 7 Oct 2026. Product, labelling and advertising rules for motorcycle gear differ by product and change. We describe them in general terms, so check the current position with your own adviser or the regulator before you publish a claim.
Who it is for
This is written for you if you sell helmets online.
- Helmet brands and importers selling full-face, modular and open-face models online
- Dealers of premium helmets who want riders beyond their own city
- Sellers of commuter helmets and pillion helmets on marketplaces
- Sellers of Bluetooth helmets and communication headsets for touring riders
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- Anyone without an exchange route for a wrong size. A helmet is bought once, and a wrong fit becomes a refund request.
- Anyone who wants to put safety, approval or crash performance claims on a page without the papers in hand. We leave that to your adviser and the maker.
How buyers choose
What decides the sale of helmets.
Head circumference and shape
The rider measures round the forehead in centimetres and learns whether their head is round or oval. Brands fit one shape better than another, and riders look for a note on which this helmet suits.
Full-face, modular or open-face
A daily commuter, a tourer and a city scooter rider each choose differently. Modular helmets raise questions about the chin bar lock, and open-face ones about protection and noise.
Visor, fog and glare
Clear, tinted or dual visor, whether it resists fog, whether a sun visor is built in, and whether spare visors can be bought. Riders read for the word fog.
Certification marks
Riders look for a mark on the helmet and ask what it stands for. What a mark means is for the buyer to check with the issuing body, and your page should state only what the maker and the papers say.
Where sales are lost
What usually goes wrong when you sell helmets online.
In the words sellers use on the first call.
“Riders return helmets because the fit was off”
A size letter is not a fit. A measurement table, a note on head shape and a clear exchange policy catch the mismatch before the first ride.
“People tell us the helmet is loud at speed”
Noise is a common complaint. The page should describe the helmet's design on this point as the maker states it, and reviews from riders on comparable bikes tell the buyer more than a claim.
“Our cheap helmets lose to branded ones on the same page”
Buyers compare marks, shell material, weight and visor. A comparison of what each helmet is, set out without exaggeration, gives the buyer the real reason for the price.
“Buyers ask whether a used or dropped helmet is still fine”
It is a question for the maker. A page that says what the maker advises about impact and age, in the maker's words, is better than a guess.
The scope
The work we would propose for helmets.
Measured on purchases, conversion rate, cost to win a customer, average order value and repeat purchases. Anything here that needs a platform or tool we have not used with you is confirmed in the audit before it goes in the scope.
- A head-measurement guide with each helmetHow to measure round the head, a size table in centimetres, the shape each model suits and a photograph on riders with their head size stated.
- Visor and spare-parts listingsEach helmet page lists compatible visors, pads and fittings, so the buyer sees what can be replaced later.
- Rider reviews after a long rideReviews filmed after weeks of use by riders on commuter bikes and tourers, covering noise, fogging and comfort.
- Comparison pagesPages comparing full-face against modular, and one price band against another, written from the maker's specifications and not from claims.
Marks and claims review
Every sentence on certification, testing and protection is listed and sent to you to confirm against the maker's papers before the page is published.
What we do
What you get for helmets.
Each deliverable and what it is there to change.
A head-fit guide
A page that teaches measuring and shape, with a size table. It cuts the number of wrong sizes ordered.
A helmet comparison table
Shell, weight, visor, vents and mark as stated by the maker, side by side. It shows why one costs more.
A visor and pad compatibility list
Replacements for each helmet. It brings the second order after the helmet.
An exchange page
How to swap a size, the condition required and who pays freight. It removes the fear of trying a size online.
How the result is measured
- Purchases and conversion rate
- Customer acquisition cost
- Average order value, with visors and accessories
- Repeat purchase rate
- Return and exchange rate by size
- Fit-guide views before purchase
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Free audit call
90 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
After the call
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come with it, in writing.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
What we need from you
What to have ready before the audit call.
None of it has to be tidy. We read what you have.
- Your helmet range with shell, weight, visor and head-shape information from the maker
- The certificates and test papers you hold for each model
- Return and exchange records with sizes involved
- Questions riders ask on WhatsApp and the marketplace
- Riders or clubs who already wear your helmets
Selling in India and abroad
Selling helmets beyond your own market.
Where you sell decides sizes, units, seasons and returns. We work from Bengaluru and have no overseas office, so for a new country we start from your own sales and the platforms you already use.
Marks and approvals differ
The mark a helmet must carry to be sold or worn varies by country, and a helmet made for one market may not be accepted in another. Whether you may sell abroad is for your importer and your adviser.
Sizing and head shape
Head shapes and size labels differ between markets. A page for an overseas buyer gives centimetres and the shape the helmet suits.
