Our original, crowd-funded and award-winning smart commuter helmet. Kickstarter is our brightest and most advanced helmet. It comes fully integrated with over 500 lumens of output, turn signals and LED modules that ensure 360˚ coverage - ensuring you're seen by motorists from all angles.

Activate the automatic brake lights and avoid collisions from the rear by warning traffic behind you when you’re coming to a hard stop.

Lumos Kickstart is certified for e-bike use and is compatible with Strava and the Apple Watch.

Our M-L helmet is adjustable from 54cm to 61cm and fits most adults & teens. If you measure above 61cm, or usually wear XL hats, then our XL size helmet is likely your best fit.

Very practical helmet made for city riding

I love that the helmet gives a beep sound when it's turned ON/OFF, signalling Left/Right. From the rider's point of view, you'll know that your action is being translated on to the helmet. The front lights are synchronised with the signaling for oncoming vehicles is a feature that most Smart Helmet doesn't have at this moment.

I wish the app allows the users to adjust the brightness of the LED Lights cos I find them a little too bright for a start. And if the remote can also indicate braking lights in action would also allow the rider to fine tune the sensitivity function on the app for automatic braking signalling on the back of the helmet. It is an awesome product. Although the Lumos Kickstart with Mips weights 391g, 57% more than my Met Rivale Helmet, I'll still enjoy riding with it cos the features are just so useful. I hope the app team will be able to add the 2 features I've mentioned above to the product to make it even better. Thanks!!!

I ordered this before Christmas and I have not received it. Difficult to assess if I don’t have it. Also the app for tracking does not work well

Not received……

Hi there - I have not received this yet and obviously not able to rate anything.

No idea where it is and online tracking is useless.

Was sent 05.12.21 according to e-mails, but no proof or electronic tracking that provides any sensible information.

Still waiting for my order

I have yet to receive my order after almost 2 months. Now was asked for a review. Wonder if I will be able to receive my order after all.

It must have gone wrong in transition somewhere.

Hopefully they will look into it so that I can receive my order.

Once again, nothing shows up.

This is the third time I order a Lumos helmet. Couple of years ago, I paid in full but never received anything. The same happens to me again this time. So disappointing !
