The Mo’Cycle is a unique fusion of fashion and safety as it appears to look like a traditional pair of jeans but it is able to transform into airbags when needed. It inflates as a way to protect motorcycle riders without compromising style. The jeans are designed with an inflatable system within the denim and expand if there is an accident.
In order to create space for the airbags, there are velcro stripes that are detailing the sides and rip open when it is deployed. Additionally, the inflatables extend down towards the knee so that the shins are exposed, meaning that this does not provide entire protection. To wash the jeans, the airbags unzip to be removed and washed safely.
