    Thanks to the LIVALL BH51M Neo Smart Bicycle Helmet, that now also goes bicycles commuting, which is something that’s obviously done worldwide.

    This smart bicycle commuting helmet packs a ton of smart features, including gravity sensor-activated Front-Signaling and Back-Brake LED Warning Lights, Smart Lighting with Automatic Sensor Lighting and Turn Signals, Fall Detection with automatic GPS marking, One-Click Phone Call Answering, GPS Voice Navigation and more.

    Let’s take a more detailed look at the LIVALL BH51M Neo and check exactly what this smart bicycle helmet has to offer.

    DESIGN & SPECS

    First of all, starting with its design, the LIVALL BH51M Neo is currently available in two different size models: Medium (measuring 21.25″ – 22.83″ / 54-58 cm) and Large (measuring 21.65″ – 24.01″ / 55-61 cm) and both models weight approximately 1.05 lbs. (480 g)

    The helmet itself features a very durable build (In-Mould Construction), as it is made of high-quality materials. As such, you’re offered a hi-tech device that’s still designed to be used daily within your “riding” daily commute and that can perfectly and seamlessly blend in with a modern society.

    This smart helmet features a highly-durable ABS Shell on its outer side and integrates a high-quality EPS Foam on the inside, which makes it extremely safe as well as super comfortable to wear (respectively). Additionally, users can make use of its Adjustable Fit System to tighten the helmet’s “grip” around their heads.

    The helmet also comes equipped with a built-in Master Control System (located at the very back of the helmet), as well as  a Automatic Sensor Lighting (discussed right ahead) and built-in high-quality Stereo Bluetooth Speakers (which is what empowers you with Hands-Free Phone Calls – discussed at the Features section).

    The LIVALL BH51M Neo can be used with bicycle and/or skateboards, as well as for roller skating, with hoverboards, E-bikes, and pretty much any other thing you can think of. If you can ride it, might as well have a BH51M Neo smart helmet with you, which will empower you with all of its cool smart features (discussed further ahead).

    Lastly, this smart bicycle helmet is also rated IPX4 waterproof, which basically makes it resistant to water splashes coming from any direction, meaning you’ll be able to wear it even when its raining at low intensity (for weak rain/low intensity rainfall days only, as heavy rains will most likely make it malfunction and ultimately stop working).

    SMART LED LIGHTING

    As mentioned before, the LIVALL BH51M Neo Smart Bicycle Helmet also features Automatic Inductive Lighting, as it comes equipped with Front-Signaling LED Warning Lights that work together with the helmet’s Back-Brake 270° LED Warning Taillights to ensure its users’ security in all directions.

    Whenever the built-in gravity acceleration sensor detects a significant deceleration, the front and taillights will be highlighted for eight seconds to draw front and rear vehicles’ and pedestrians’ attention.

    Both the helmet’s Front-Signaling and Back-Brake LED Warning Lights are highly visible, featuring a very bright and flashy orange color that’s simply impossible to miss/not see.

    FEATURES

    Included Smart Bluetooth Remote Control

    Moving on to the BH51M Neo’s smart features, this smart helmet also comes with an included Smart Bluetooth Remote Control that bicycle riders can easily attach to their bikes’ handlebars to easily control the helmet’s smart features.

    This is what allows users to have a completely Hands-Free Operation while wearing this smart safety bicycle helmet, and that’s because all of the company’s proprietary “smart helmet functions” are designed to be used in a completely hands-free manner to ultimately ensure that a user’s safety is always the number one priority.

    Smart Lighting with Automatic Sensor Lighting

    Furthermore, the smart helmet’s Back-Brake LED Warning Lights also double as LED Turn Signal Indicators (Wireless Turn Signals). This is thanks to the BH51M Neo’s Smart and Automatic Sensor Lighting technology.

    The smart helmet’s Smart Lighting integrates adaptive technology to ensure that its users are always visible, even during any dark conditions.

    By using the included Smart Bluetooth Remote Control, users can have their Back-Brake LED Warning Lights working as LED Turn Signal Indicators, and as such, users can operate these LED turn signals wirelessly to alert traffic of their turning direction, which not only ensures an enhanced visibility but also the rider’s personal safety.

    Whenever a user decides to turn to either side (Left or Right), the helmet’s Back LED Lights will glow on that side alone, starting from the center and slowly getting illuminated all the way to the end of that corresponding chosen side that the rider will be turning to.

    Hands-Free Music & Phone Call Answering

    As mentioned before, the BH51M Neo smart helmet also comes equipped with built-in high-quality Stereo Bluetooth Speakers that allow users to enjoy some quality music, audiobooks or even podcast playbacks during their daily bicycle commuting, and all those can all be easily controlled via the included Smart Bluetooth Remote Control.

    These Bluetooth stereo speakers are strategically placed above a user’s ears, which ultimately allows riders to stay alert to surrounding traffic while still being able to listen to and enjoy their favorite tunes.

    Furthermore, by using the included Smart Bluetooth Remote Control, users are also offered an easy way of One-Click Answering for any incoming phone calls.

    This allows riders to answer phone calls with ease while using the included handlebars remote control, and with the combination of the helmet’s built-in high-quality Stereo Bluetooth Speakers riders can also enjoy a crystal clear sound in both ways.

    Lastly, to ensure that riders can also talk back to who ever is calling them while not having to worry about screaming into their Smartphone – which would probably be placed in a pocket or something, as we wouldn’t want anyone driving their bike in the middle of a busy city traffic while also messing around with their phone – the helmet also comes equipped with a built-in wind-proof microphone, which makes it very easy for riders to enjoy brief phone calls while moving through their daily commute, all while riding a bike and enjoying a smooth breeze.

    PTT (Push-to-Talk) Walkie-Talkie

    For any situation where a user is ridding with other friends that also have a LIVALL BH51M Neo, all helmets can be seamlessly connected to each other, allowing all riders to easily communicate with their fellow cyclists while using the helmet’s Walkie-Talkie function, which is perfect for when you’re riding in a group.

    This basically means you won’t have the need to scream back and forth if you ever wanna talk to your friends during your shared daily bicycle commutes.

    GPS Voice Navigation

    The LIVALL BH51M Neo Smart Bicycle Helmet also integrates a GPS Voice Navigation smart feature, which works via the helmet’s built-in Bluetooth speakers after connecting the helmet to your Smartphone (via its Smartphone Companion App – discussed ahead).

    Auto-Off and Anti-Loss Alarm

    This smart bike helmet also features both Auto-Off and Anti-Loss Alarm smart features. The Auto-Off function ensures the helmet’s maximum battery longevity, as it will automatically turn off the helmet whenever it is disconnected from your Smartphone. This will happen after an 15 minutes of inactivity.

    Lastly, the Anti-Loss Alarm function is automatically activated whenever the helmet is connected to your Sphone and the distance between the helmet and your phone exceeds 49.21 ft (15 m). If this ever happens, both the helmet and your Smartphone will have an alarm starting.

    Fall Detection & Instant SOS Request

    In the event of an accident, the BH51M Neo’s smart emergency system will automatically kick in and send your exact GPS location to any of your already configured emergency contacts (which can be done within the App).

    Furthermore, if you’re ever in a distress situation (any suspicious person following you around, etc.), you can simply press the included handlebars Smart Bluetooth Remote Control’s red button for a total of five seconds and all of your emergency contacts will receive an alert message with your exact GPS location.
