Something New in Helmets


Every so often you get to read something that makes you go – wow, that’s a great idea. This is one of those things. It’s already up and running, a Russian company is developing a helmet with integrated GPS which is voice activated and projects a see-through GPS navigation screen directly onto the visor. This allows the rider to see through and so keep your eyes on the road. Speakers / microphone and battery pack will be incorporated in the helmet. It is thought the helmet will be slightly larger than average, but not excessively.

The helmet will comply with EC 22.05 and so will be street legal. They believe it will be available in the USA in the summer and Europe sometime later. The price is just a bit futuristic as well, around £1,300 and a discount of £320 for people who are prepared to pre order. Full detail can be found on the Livemap web site. Happy dreaming.https://livemap.info/view/gallery.html
