SAN FRANCISCO (BRAIN) — Lumos is releasing a new MIPS version of its high-visibility smart helmet featuring integrated front and rear lights, turn signals and brake indicators.
“Our helmet was built on the idea that prevention is the best protection, which is why we emphasized on visibility in our design,” Lumos co-founder and CEO Eu-wen Ding said. “But of course we want to protect people’s heads in case of accidents too. MIPS is technology that has been developed since 1996 and is something that some of our users have requested. We hope that this makes our helmets one step closer to our mission in protecting 1 million heads.”
At the beginning of May, Lumos began selling through Apple stores as well as at IBDs and direct to consumers on its website.
More information on the new MIPS helmet is available on the Lumos website.
