We’re thrilled to share another significant update on the iC-R development of our revolutionary smart helmets! We continue to be laser-focused on getting them into your hands as soon as possible, while ensuring they meet the highest safety standards.
Safety First:
- As a reminder, we’ve successfully passed DOT certification and are on track to complete ECE 22.06 within the next 2 weeks.
- SNELL testing is also on the horizon, starting in the next 2 weeks.
Hardware & Software:
- Our final custom camera modules have arrived, and our development team is integrating them seamlessly.
- Our helmets are nearly complete! We’re finalizing the camera integration and fine-tuning the software – all expected to be wrapped up within the next 2-3 weeks.
Feature Updates:
To expedite delivery, we’ve made some strategic adjustments while continuing to offer exceptional features:
- Visor: We’ve transitioned from an instant tint visor to an improved photochromic visor with a much faster transition time (5-20 seconds) than what’s currently on the market.
- Bluetooth: We’ve upgraded to a powerful 4-core Bluetooth solution for enhanced connectivity.
- Communication Options: We’re now offering 3 rider-to-rider communication solutions to suit your needs:
- Unlimited range for up to 15 people via mobile app and network (which is what we originally offered and promoted)
- Duplex BT mesh network up to 4km (similar to Sena and Cardo)
- PTT with RF walkie talkie with BT capability for those low-to-zero signal rural areas
- Our top three helmet models will include all three communication options and built-in CarPlay/Android Auto, while the base model will have the Mesh & PTT comms options available as a subscription upgrade.
- Built-in Apple CarPlay and Android Auto: Enjoy an unparalleled level of in-helmet navigation and smartphone integration.
