Livall Bling Helmet

A few weeks ago we looked at the Lumos bicycle helmet with its distinctive LED lighting. Livall’s Bling Helmet – which smashed its Indiegogo target – starts with an LED array then adds access to calls and music, and acts as a remote control for your smartphone.

Livall Bling HelmetThe Bling Helmet has 80 LED lights on the top and back of the helmet for better visibility and LED tail lights that show turning signals with a touch of a single finger on the included Bling Jet Remote Control, installed on the bike’s handle bars. In the event of an accident, the helmet also sends out automatic SOS alerts to emergency contacts when the built-in three-axis gravity sensor detects a strike.

A nano cadence sensor measures speed, distance, calories burned, and posts ride information to social media.

The helmet also includes a phone holder with an internal power bank battery so there’s no need to worry about your handsey running out of power during the ride.
