If you're asking if a helmet is required by law, it depends on the laws in your state. For example, motorcycle helmets are not required at all in Texas. If you're asking whether you should wear a helmet for safety, the answer is a resounding yes. On all vehicles where your body is exposed, including bicycles, you need a helmet. I had a friend killed riding a small motorcycle -- he went down and his hit head on a curb.
When a motorcycle helmet is DOT certified, that means it has been certified by the United Stated Department of Transportation, following strict safety standards. Once a helmet has been DOT certified it is identified with a sticker on the helmet itself. Unfortunately, not every helmet sold that has a DOT sticker is DOT compliant. Visit the following site for a partial listing of the most popular brand helmets. http://www.helmetcheck.org/database.aspx CarlGlas Any helmet that is DOT approved will have a sticker on the helmet. If you go to a helmet manufacturers website, it will state what certifications the helmet has.
Motorcycle helmets need to be either DOT or SNELL certified, if the helmet has that certification then you can use a scooter helmet on a motorcycle.
"You" don't make one. You buy one. "YOU" do not have the required skills or equipment to make a motorcycle helmet which will provide any degree of protection in the event of a crash. If you are going to make your own helmet then you might as well not even wear one.
