Was looking for a nice helmet to go with my new Mercedes, and came across the Lumos Kickstart in matching black. Google shows most stockists selling for the RRP of $299 / $199 USD. Credit to deal88 for posting this one in the ebike comment thread.

From electricbikereview.com:

  • A smart bicycle helmet with white, red, and yellow integrated LED lights that will stay solid, flash slowly, or flash quickly to keep you visible when riding
  • Wireless button pad allows you to activate yellow turn signals on the front and back sides of the helmet to help automobiles anticipate your next move
  • Weighs a bit more than non-lighted helmets at ~1.0 lbs and requires regular charging with the included USB dongle, the Lumos website sells replacement parts for reasonable prices, I liked the reflective stickers and strap design, it's fairly water resistant and streamlined

The lower specced Lumos Ultra is also available for $69.95 in red or lime green.

All Amazon stock appears to be M-L size (54-61cm). Good for those with thicc noggins like me.

    (Without MIPS)

    • GOMOOTYPRO on 27/01/2023 - 14:37

      And? All helmets sold in Australia are up to the National Standard.

      • jv on 27/01/2023 - 14:38

        And?

        making sure people make an informed purchasing decision.

        This helmet doesn't ship from Amazon Australia. It's a grey import and since it's grey market, it's not "sold in Australia". It is not necessarily up to the National Standard. You're legally required to wear a helmet that's AS/NZS 2063:2008. The deal description for this helmet says:

        Certified: CPSC, F1492, EN1078, AS2063, NTA 8776 E-bike).

        So since it says certified AS2063, seems like it should meet the requirement.

        MIPS is an upgrade option, costs around $30 US extra on https://international.lumoshelmet.co/products/lumos-kickstar… so that's a bit annoying that the MIPS version doesn't have the discount. The Lumos Kickstart is US$139 delivered with MIPS via the website.

          Rental scooter helmets are MIPS. Elizabeth St is a good road to ride on at 2am jv. No police or cars.

          It's what I've been doing. Completely legal here in VIC.

          • jv on 27/01/2023 - 16:51

            @Clear:

            Tram tracks are dangerous.

                  @jv: I can teach you to ride backwards. Alternatively a gas bottle or two cases of beer make a good seat.

      The inclusion of "without MIPS" in the title seems like a great way to intentionally come up for people searching for MIPS helmets…

    • yeahboo on 27/01/2023 - 16:48

      good to know thanks. I always buy ones with MIPS

  • damion on 27/01/2023 - 14:42

    What's the actual difference between the kickstart and the ultra versions, other than MIPS and slightly different design?
    I can't see any direct specs to compare.

    • Ozybargdias on 27/01/2023 - 14:49

      The Kickstart appears to have brighter and more visible LEDs and better ventilation.

      • rakkihizoku on 27/01/2023 - 14:56

        Also kickstart is proprietary connector whereas ultra is usb c

        • spaceflight on 27/01/2023 - 16:21

          kickstart is proprietary connector

          Sounds like a great reason not to buy it

    OOS

  • innov on 27/01/2023 - 15:11

    one thing I wouldn't cheap out on is a helmet and I'll always purchase a MIPS helmet.

  • twocsies on 27/01/2023 - 15:11

    The Lumos Matrix (Without MIPS) is also on sale for $99 https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0B1Q3TGNZ

  • Jessie Ryder on 27/01/2023 - 15:15

    Yeah…. nah.

    Spend the money and get a MIPs helmet.

  • teereb on 27/01/2023 - 15:18

    They all say currently unavailable?

  • dec1an on 27/01/2023 - 15:25

    MIPS absolutely worth it, but more than that - a comfortable helmet. That should be the priority over adding features that are better placed on your bike, like lights. If this fits, your head well, this is a decent price for a not too heavy helmet.

    Also worth noting using the indicator on the helmet is no substitute for hand signals, per various road rules - and what other road users will be expecting…

  • liongalahad on 27/01/2023 - 15:30

    All gone :(

  • whucenoath on 27/01/2023 - 16:31

    Anyone mentioned MIPS yet?

    • Jessie Ryder on 27/01/2023 - 16:35

      Nah, don't worry about that…. get the flashly lights and look cool.

  • RolandWaites on 27/01/2023 - 19:33

    Needs to be at least 12 BTUs to be trustworthy. This I suspect is no more than 9.

  • Qwertykp on 27/01/2023 - 21:36
