The 'Inflabi' Bike Helmet is Ready to Use in 20-Seconds
Michael Hemsworth — June 25, 2023 — Lifestyle
The 'Inflabi' bike helmet is a featherlight piece of safety equipment perfect for urbanites who need a way to protect themselves from injury, but also keep their load light. The helmet weighs in at 140-grams in its current prototype model and is rated to provide four-times the shock absorption when compared to conventional foam alternatives. The helmet is expected to receive European EU1078 safety certification later into the year, and is crafted with TPU air chambers that are accented by an abrasion-resistant fabric that's seam-welded.
The 'Inflabi' bike helmet is ready to use in about 20-seconds and is capable of being inflated using hand bicycle tire pumps or compact alternatives. The helmet could work to greatly increase the likelihood of more cyclists wearing safety gear given its inherently featherlight design.
