The stylish FARO smart urban helmet sends SOS

The FARO smart bike helmet is designed and developed by UNIT 1 to provide better security for micro-mobility movements. Founded in 2017 and backed by the Adidas family, UNIT 1 is an American Sports Tech company. Its objective: to solve urban mobility problems.

The FARO Smart Bike Helmet features a clean, sleek design with a touch of functionality. Nowadays, people are moving away from cars or public transport in search of fresh air. They prefer to use a bicycle or scooter as their personal means of transport. The technology of electric bicycles is more and more developed. The same is true for smart health connected bikes. Proof of this is the SmartHalo 2. However, cycling infrastructure is falling behind, to the detriment of cyclist safety.

FARO is not only stylish

FARO is a technological helmet designed for cyclists. It offers style and visibility to its user.

Focusing too much on style can become dangerous for urban cyclists. They refuse to adopt the helmets simply because of their appearance when wearing one. The FARO helmet was designed to be stylish and elegant.

This is a helmet you’ll want to wear, for style and safety. It has clean lines and nice color, it matches well with your everyday clothes. The FARO is designed with a unique ventilation system. UNIT 1 has specially developed this system by combining hidden air intakes and significant cooling without having to drill too many holes in the helmet.

The FARO Smart Bike Helmet has been developed to meet all major safety certifications; CPSC | EN1078 | AS/NZS 2063:2008. For added safety, UNIT 1 has partnered with MIPS, a Swedish company specializing in helmet protection. Thus offering FARO an innovative system that improves the absorption of impacts by the helmet in the event of an accident.

Other features

Then there is an additional option, the navigation remote. This is a small handlebar mounted gadget where the rider can activate and display large turn signals to alert other riders or riders. In addition, this helmet is also equipped with a “fall detection” function; that is, it detects a strong impact and sends an SOS message to a predetermined emergency contact with the location of the cyclist.

In low light conditions or at night, the FARO helmet will make the rider highly visible to other riders. Most bicycle lights are small, low or stolen. FARO integrates front and rear lights to make the rider highly visible from all angles with over 500 lumens of combined output. These lights are powerful yet unobtrusive, beautifully integrated into the helmet.

Finally, the FARO also has a fabric lining on the back that provides a greater light footprint in a unique variety of lively patterns and colors.
