This is a practical, smart motorcycle helmet made of modern materials that will independently call for help in an emergency, developed and marketed by Quin Design. The new helmet called Quin will replenish the outfit of fans of extreme recreation and fans of long trips by motorcycle. Emergency calls are made thanks to the Bluetooth module built into the helmet, which allows the device to send an SOS signal on the air via the user’s smartphone in case of an accident.
The Quin Quest coating is based on hydrocarbon fiber, which significantly increases the strength of the helmet. An efficient ventilation system, removable inner liners and an integrated drop-down quick release sun visor ensure comfortable operation of the Quin Quest.
The Bluetooth system is built inside the helmet and has a small control panel on the left side with five small buttons. All wiring, modules and batteries are hidden from users. However, the lack of removable modules complicates the process of recharging the helmet, when it must be fully delivered to the charger with a USB-input. Communication is provided via the user’s smartphone. Using the controls displayed on the helmet, the user will be able to make calls and control multimedia applications on the smartphone.
In case of an accident, Quin Quest has built-in collision detection. If the system is not turned off, it will send push notifications, emails and SMS messages to the addresses listed for emergency situations.
For extreme situations, the SOS beacon function is also provided, which is activated after a three-time press, sends alarm messages to the same contacts and transmits the exact coordinates of the user. Both warning systems are designed to use telephone communications, which makes it impossible for them to work when traveling in areas remote from civilization. The helmet weighs 1750 grams, and the price is $699 by pre-order. The start of sales is scheduled for December 2020.
