21st November, Madrid, Spain. UNIT 1, the urban mobility brand behind the smart helmets FARO and AURA, has announced a strategic partnership with Kalkhoff, one of Germany’s most established e-bike manufacturers. UNIT 1 partners with Kalkhoff as its official Safety Partner.
The collaboration brings together Kalkhoff’s leadership in the premium e-bike segment with UNIT 1’s expertise in connected safety technology. The result is a shared commitment to elevating the riding experience through greater visibility, comfort, and rider confidence, key elements for today’s urban e-bike users.
UNIT 1 products are already available across the EU, sold directly through the brand’s website (www.unit1gear.com) and at selected retailers in Germany.
Through this partnership — and as the brand continues to grow — UNIT 1’s presence will expand further into physical retail locations where Kalkhoff bikes are also sold.
Positioned as the ideal helmet for adult riders who value protection without compromising on design, AURA complements Kalkhoff’s product ecosystem and reinforces both brands’ commitment to safer, smarter urban mobility.
Juan Garcia Mansilla, Co-Founder of UNIT 1, commented: “Kalkhoff has long been a symbol of trust in the e-bike space. This partnership allows us to bring our Smart Helmets to more riders who understand that safety doesn’t need to compromise style or performance.”
Jan Huiskamp, Brand Director at Kalkhoff, added: “UNIT 1 Smart Helmets align perfectly with the expectations of our riders: intelligent design, enhanced safety features, and modern functionality. We’re proud to bring this helmet to our community as part of our commitment to quality and rider well-being.”
