Frequently asked questions
01
What is a smart helmet?
A smart helmet is an advanced protective headgear that integrates electronic features to enhance rider safety, visibility, and experience. It combines impact protection with modern technology like LED lighting, sensors, and connectivity.
UNIT 1 redefines smart helmets with Active Safety and high-end design. Our helmets feature integrated lights for enhanced visibility, MIPS technology for superior impact protection, and crash detection to alert emergency contacts. Stylish and innovative, they cater to urban commuters and riders of bikes, e-bikes, one-wheels, and electric scooters. UNIT 1 smart helmets: elevating safety and style for the modern rider.
02
Are our smart helmets waterproof?
Yes, all our Helmets + Lights + Navigation Remote are 100% waterproof.
03
What is Mips?
Mips is a security system that improves a helmet’s performance during rotational impacts (which are the most usual kind). Essentially, it’s a special low-friction liner that can slightly rotate in any direction at the moment of impact, absorbing some of the impact’s energy. All in all, it makes AURA and FARO helmets safer (cause the helmet is already safe, to begin with). Learn more about Mips.
04
Is Navigation Remote included with the helmet?
No, the Navigation Remote is not included with the helmet. However, you can purchase it separately here.
05
Do UNIT 1 smart helmets have crash detection? how does it work?
Yes, AURA and FARO have Crash Detection. In the event of an accident, they can detect a hard impact and, if you fail to respond to our safety check, send out an SOS text with your location. Once a hard crash is registered by the onboard accelerometer (mild bumps won’t trigger this), a safety check timer will go off in our App. If the rider doesn’t respond, the SOS is sent to the emergency contact you have selected in the App. The safety check timer and even the SOS message are both customizable. The phone screen doesn’t have to be on for this feature to work but the App must be open (with Crash Detection active).
