Lumos is a company known for designing bicycle helmets with integrated lighting systems. Its previous models focused primarily on visibility and safety, helping cyclists become more noticeable and predictable to car drivers on the road. The latest model, called Sonorus, is designed with an emphasis on communication and audio features, adding a built-in mesh intercom system. It is currently seeking backing on Kickstarter.
Riding with a group of friends is a lot of fun, but most of the time it’s not really that convenient for having a conversation. It’s hard to catch up on life updates while riding on the shoulder of the highway, shouting over the wind and traffic. Not to mention, communication becomes a safety matter when you need to inform people in front of you that you’ve got a flat tire or are falling behind. The Sonorus integrated mesh intercom is designed to improve rider-to-rider communication.
Here’s how it works. The system is activated with a tap on the helmet, and all the setup is done through a mobile app. You can connect multiple helmets (up to 15) to create a network that will help you and your group to stay connected during the ride.
