What's most important to you in a helmet? Comfort? Communication systems? Lights?
Maybe even safety?
Safety and strap/buckle configuration.
would love for you to design a front wheel drive add on hub set up to adapt to a RAD Rover... I know there are cheap front wheel drive kits we can figure out half cocked ways to attach and run but i also know you could design a great plug and play kit that wound be easily installed and fit as if the bike was meant to be all wheel drive.....
A few months back I went to my local bike shop for a helmet. I said it needed to provide safety in a crash. Ideally be highly visible colors for safety being seen. Weight isn't a huge deal; most of my trips are under a half hour and my ride will be done before weight is an issue. It doesn't need to be aero, because I'm a fat middle aged(*) guy and nothing about me is aero. (* and middle age depending on how wide a range you imagine the middle to be)
I like my Sena M1. It looks good (for a helmet), it’s comfortable, has rear lights and Bluetooth communication. Sound would be better if less tinny, however. Safety, then comfort, followed by aesthetics.
It was great to have you stop by and chat us up. Really enjoyed the video. Stay safe and ride on.
I once heard a Dutchman claim that the main reason so few Dutch (city) cyclists wear helmets, and correlatively why there are so few serious bicycle-motor vehicle accidents/injuries, is that every Dutchman who owns a car also owns a bicycle (and thus respects and obeys motor-vehicle/cyclist safety rules).
Definitely not. I went to Amsterdam a few years ago and it was unbelievable how many bikes you see riding or locked up. And me and my friend would make many Dutch people mad because we were walking on what we thought it just a sidewalk, but I guess it is for bicycle use only. So many people got mad at us, they are very serious about biking to work or school.
@@RichardsWorld I think you misunderstood my comment. What I am saying, or rather what I've heard, is that urban Dutchmen have great respect for the cycling rules of the road because the vast majority of them are cyclers (and don't take kindly to those who break the rules).
Ok...Im sold...I need a Kali full face helmet now.
As soon as they're in stock we'll get our hands on some! They had to borrow the one at the show from a dealer.
I wear one on my Honda scooter
That kind of money you might as well buy a bell super 3r mips, just my opinion!
I have been riding my mtb without a helmet for years as soon as i converted my bike to electric i got myself a full face motorcycle helmet
you converted your own bik? How did you do that?
@@bobbyc.1111 Buy a electric wheel hub conversion kit
I just bought one for my e-bike too.
I wear a Kali Invader with my ebikes. It is well made, safe and I get a claustrophobic feeling in a lot of helmet and not the Kali. It fits wearing glasses also. I'm a definite fan of the Kali Invader.
I am considering their full face 'Zoka' helmet. As I got speed wobbles on a 35mph downhill the other day I was thinking...Us e-bikers with our cute little light weight helmets and no body protection are subject to the same trauma as if in a crash on my motorcycle. Not similar. Same. What are we thinking? I'm fixing that in 2020. Life is too short, and recovering from crashes sucks. Our 10 ounce foo-foo designer helmets offer the same protection as those ridiculous skull caps I see on some (HD) motorcyclists. Let's be real here.
what do you suggest?
I have thought about making clothing with increased abrasion resistance, e.g. Cordura patches for shoulders, elbows, hips, rear….
Would padding be helpful? Keprotec?
I've been rocking the Kali City helmet for a little bit now. I love the integrated eyeshield. Plus it comes with a LED backlight along with a second swappable eyeshield. The Invader 2.0 looks pretty cool too.
Always said I’d never wear some geeky bike helmet, and I still maintain it MUST be open to personal choice…BUT that full head dark grey helm looked pretty cool…yes…I would wear one of those.
He was right…no point in functionalism if it is too ugly to wear huh!
Looks good, love the lighted one might be cool to have that in a full face model
Well it's got to protect my head. Then visibility and communication systems.
I got a full faced one for the roads around where I live , the hills are massive as . Hate to imagine coming off at speed . Or hitting a car etc . I flew over handle bars head first with a half helmet and it split in two . Almost died so many times on the roads around here . I just got a new mountain bike for riding where ever , and then thought maybe a full faced one would be a good idea . It has many vents also . When a big crashes let me tell you , it will be out of the blue . I would rather save my face as well lol . One time I was going down this hill and I had disk brakes and it was a windy road , I had to drift left and right because of the ice . I had the brakes on the whole time and they wouldn't stop me . Then I had to drift around the front of this car through the round about that didn't give way . Most adrenaline I have ever felt in my life . I value my life more now because I'm older . My mum told me how a cousin of hers died on the roads where I live , they got hit by a car . So maybe just maybe the full faced helmet might save my life .
I like the full face. Really nice.
Yes, we need something a bit beefier for e-bikes, especially off roading. I've gone off the trail at 35 mph, and I'm glad there was no big rocks where I landed. For me, I have to choose between a bicycle helmet or my DOT motorcycle helmet, and I prefer the motorcycle helmet, except when it's hot. The full face helmet would fill the gap between the two. Is there a face shield available, or would I need to get goggles as well?
Very timely. What I'm looking for comfort (weight & air cooling) and visibility (thinking a florescent yellow color).
This is why I went with a hi-viz AFX motorcycle helmet (ece 22.05 standard). Too many helmet companies go for stealth and that's the last thing I need when I'm riding around (and as a driver I really appreciate people who wear bright colors) [edit - spelling]
Nice… I like the light on the back but that model does not have the large visor the other has so I would probably forgo the light and just install my own rear facing flasher. I know what my next helmet will be…
I like the Kali Maya. But I have a big head which is hard to fit. I would also want the color to be cool.
When is the invader coming back in stock? I want one for ebike uber deliveries. I need a full face and live where it's hot so it seems ideal for me.
I recently got a kali impact 2.0
Super light and comfortable
Hey, I may be a boomer but I don't want to crash and go boomer. So thanks for the Kali info.
Excellent. There needs to be a B & B next door to your shop so us outside of GVers can come and gearup.
We have a lot of them! Email the team and we can help you find one and even recommend a good place to eat
Hi Kyle
What is the name of the helmet you wear that has the built in eye face shield?
Will you be carrying it in the xlg sizes?
Tia,
Don
Hi mate really appreciate this video can I still order the full faced version from you guys .please
i wanted the full face one but its not on your site
Two questions after looking at your website. 1) How do I determine a size? 2) Are you going to stock that full face model shown in the video? Thanks!
Yes, we will once they are available. We'll add sizing information online soon as well. Kali's website can be referenced for more details in the meantime.
@@Area13ebikes Thanks, I like the Traffic Bike helmet, but I think I'd prefer the full face model.
@@ebikeengineer: Until Bolton's supply comes in, Kali's website has sizing info on each of their helmet pages
@@stevyd Travis for the idea, I'm planning on buying from Bolton as I enjoy their videos and wish to support them. I can wait, it's starting to get cold here and I won't be going much riding over the next few months. ;-)
Dang, I think you're misapplying the force equation. I hope there are helmet designers at Kali that are smacking their foreheads in frustration when they hear that. LoL. If you want a nice explanation I can help. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your understanding!
If your speed is 50km/hr you need full face helmet
I like the full face .
My god I just want info on the helmet wtf
outrageously expensive. Might as well buy a motorcycle helmet or ftbal helmet. but it sounds like a good helmet and your head is important.
Nice
I'll stick to my Bern Baker Hardhat,detachable winter liner,feels comfortable all year long.simply a classic helmet.
Where do you get those? And, why do you like it?
Kindly do not recommend any helmet type other than fully face for ebike riders. "Bicycle" half-head helmets are joke and should become illegal.
.
IMO, modulars are the best offering all options when needed: turns to full-face when going fast, visor(s) protect your face and eyes when needed against dust, rain, sun, etc., cut outs to place speakers of bluetooth headset, fairly ventilated or with vents closed for winter to keep it warm and cozy.
It needs a go pro mount
A fair number our helmets will take an accesory mount we make for lights and go-pro... including the Maya 3.0
If you want to go faster you probably want a motorcycle helmet
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Is this guy on crutches due to helmet testing?
Actually he had to have his hip replaced, so he get get back to what he loves... riding his bike.
@@kaliprotectives Got got it
Let's go Brandon!
🤣💖🇺🇲🖖
Who the hell is Brandon?
