Problem
Urban cyclists, e-bike riders, and road cyclists face significant safety risks due to limited visibility, especially at night or in traffic. Traditional helmets offer passive protection but do nothing to actively communicate a rider's intentions to drivers and other road users, increasing the likelihood of collisions and accidents.
Solution
Lumos provides smart bike helmets with integrated LED lighting systems that actively enhance rider visibility and safety. The helmets feature turn signals and brake lights that are controlled via a wireless remote mounted on the handlebar, allowing cyclists to clearly communicate their movements to surrounding traffic. The product lineup includes commuter helmets like the Nyxel and Ultra, the Aero GT for road cyclists, and a dedicated e-bike helmet designed for high-speed riders, all incorporating these smart lighting features to improve rider visibility and road safety. The companion Lumos app enables one-tap sync for all lights and adds hazard light functionality across helmet and bike lights.
Target Audience
Primary customers are urban commuters, e-bike riders, road cyclists, and parents seeking enhanced visibility and safety for themselves or their children while cycling in traffic or low-light conditions.
