The new Bumpair 2.0 is a functional and space-saving bicycle accessory that keeps bikers safe with its unique technology. The French company first unveiled the helmet a few years ago and it grabbed attention with its inflatable capabilities.
From there, the brand worked with a scooter share company in France -- once users unlock one of the scooters, they simply need to click a button through the app and the helmet will automatically inflate. The second version of the helmet now arrives and is portable with “up to 4x more [protection] than a classic helmet.” A hand pump inflates the helmet and it can be deflated when it is not in use and kept in proper storage.
