Safety on two wheels is paramount, and Livall’s MC1 Pro is here to revolutionize the way we think about helmets. This “smart helmet” promises to enhance not just safety but also the overall riding experience, blending cutting-edge technology with traditional protection. Livall, best known for cycling helmets and even e-bike conversion kits like the PikaBoost, ventures into the world of…

WEAR A HELMET!

You may think it looks a bit dorky, it may leave you with “helmet hair” and it may be too warm in hot weather…but wear it! My helmet has saved my noggin from injury more than once…but once is enough. Take a look at these statistics provided by New York City:

Almost 75% of fatal bicycle crashes (74%) involved a head injury.

Nearly all bicyclists who died (97%) were not wearing a helmet.

Serious injuries were rare among riders wearing a helmet (13%), but even more rare among bicyclists killed (3%).

Bicycle riders produce about twice as many head injuries as any other sport — including football! Please don’t risk it — just wear a helmet…especially if you ride an e-bike or e-trike. My Mooncool provides a ton of enjoyment and exercise, but it is powerful and fast. This puts your head at even greater risk.

A decent helmet doesn’t have to be expensive. For my first e-cycling experiences, I wore a Bell brand bike helmet, purchased at a thrift shop for $4.50. There was nothing wrong with it, and it was good protection. But 500 miles later, I became interested in smart helmets. This precipitated hours of research.

I selected the Livall MT1 Neo, and it’s a keeper. The speakers deliver sound quality that is about 50% better than Sena, and visibility is decent. Unfortunately, I can’t find a helmet that gives everything I want — great lighting, great communication, and decent sound quality. For example, communication is better with Sena, but it has no lighting and poor speakers. Here’s what I get with Livall:

Good head protection

Decent lighting in the back (none in front)

Good communications (cell phone bluetooth required)

Make hands-free phone calls

Listen to music, podcasts, map directions, etc.

Ask Alexa, Siri, or Google for whatever

Turn signal lighting on back of helmet

1-Click voice commands

Handlebar-attached remote control

Long battery life

Comfortable fit

Very lightweight

Automatic SOS alert 

Anti-Loss Alarm

All things considered, the Livall seems to be a good choice, and I have no plans to make a change. To make it even better, I will be adding a helmet light visible from the front. Of course, most of these features are not necessary, and not cheap, but they do contribute to the enjoyment of riding my Mooncool. But the main thing is…

Livall BH60 SE, le casque connecté !

Un casque cela protège des chocs, mais avec Livall, cet accessoire passe à la vitesse supérieure en permettant de communiquer, d’alerter mais aussi de se signaler !

Le casque c’est avant tout de la sécurité passive. Il y a impact et il absorbe l’énergie du choc pour la répartir au mieux. Mais on peut aller plus loin, c’est ce qu’a fait Livall avec son BH60 SE. Un casque de course connecté,…

Livall BH51M NEO Cycling Helmet Review - The Perfect commuters helmet with brake lights, fall detection, and speakers #cycling

I reviewed the Livall BH60SE back in March 2019 and came away very impressed with the smart bike helmet which combined lights, built-in speakers and indicators.

That was a road cycling style helmet, and Livall also makes some more urban or commuter orientated helmets. Their latest being the new flagship Livall BH51M NEO which has taken their existing commuters’ helmet and updated it with some…
