You might not have heard of the team behind Unit 1, but their latest project on Kickstarter, the NEON Smart Helmet, is making waves. This campaign introduces a helmet that’s not just about safety—it’s about integrating technology with stylish design. What sets them apart? Their unique approach to combining functionality with sleek aesthetics. We all want a unique-looking helmet, right? The NEON Smart Helmet offers features like integrated RGB lights, crash detection, and a companion app, providing an enhanced riding experience for both adults and children.
The NEON Smart Helmet was conceived to address common safety issues faced by motorcycle riders. It integrates advanced safety features like turn signals, brake lights, and crash detection, ensuring that riders are more visible and protected on the road. Another tech feature is the helmet’s companion app that adds a layer of convenience, allowing users to manage settings, monitor battery life, and activate crash alerts. What sets the NEON Smart Helmet apart is its combination of high-tech features with practical design elements, providing comprehensive solutions for modern riders.
But what really stands out is the companion app. This thing is like having a co-pilot in your pocket. From monitoring battery life to activating crash alerts, it’s all just a tap away. Speaking of safety, the crash detection feature is pure genius. It senses hard falls and sends an SOS with your location to a designated emergency contact.
For those of you with kids, the NEON Smart Helmet for kids is just as impressive. Designed to fit ages 3 to 10, it packs all the advanced safety features into a smaller, more adaptable package. My nephew loved the customizable lights, and I loved knowing he was safe.
