Frequently Asked Questions
01
Is the AURA helmet waterproof?
Yes, all our Helmets + Lights + UNIT 1 Remote are 100% waterproof.
02
How long does the battery last?
Depending on your settings (since AURA is highly customizable), the battery can last between 3 to 12 hours of riding.
03
What certifications does AURA have? Is it safe?
AURA is E-bike certified with NTA 8776 up to 45 km/h. Also, it is compliant with CPSC, EN1078 and AS/NZS 1698:2006.
04
Does FARO have Crash Detection? How does it work?
Yes, AURA has Crash Detection. In the event of an accident, AURA 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). If you need help setting this up, check this tutorial in the App section.
05
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 the helmet safer (cause the helmet is already safe, to begin with). You can read more about Mips here!
06
How much does the AURA helmet weigh?
The AURA Smart Helmet weighs just 440g without Mips. As a kicker: AURA is supper well balanced, which makes it super comfortable even for long rides.
