In recent years, I have been thinking about how to move in Tokyo again.I introduced a bicycle for exercise because it became a remote work, which is convenient.Now it has become a necessity for daily life that has nothing to do with exercise.I can go anywhere in Tokyo, so I hardly use the train now.Even if it takes about an hour one way, you can use a bicycle ...I guess the number of people like me has increased.

In such a case, a helmet is necessary.It's important ~ really.If you go out on the main street in Tokyo, you will be in the car, but you don't know what direction is.There are many roads that do not have a bicycle lane.

By the way, this time we will introduce a smart helmet for bicycles.Will the helmet be smart too?With a speaker, you can make a hands -free call ... It may be possible to eliminate "if you can do this" when it is on a bicycle ...?

This is normal for "Pelios".The weight of 590g is in a heavy category for a bicycle helmet.The helmet that the road bike riding is attached is about 200-300g.However, it is not a helmet for racing, and it is very light for the writer of the city riding.

EPS material and shock resistant PC material are perfect for resistance.It is a helmet where you can feel safe.The matte touch is also comfortable.

Above all, it looks stylish and good.There are many bicycle helmets that are good or bad, so there are many designs that are a little bit like riding in plain clothes.With "Pelios", it is black and chic, so you can reduce the appearance noise.

There are buttons on each function on the side.Press the light button on the right end to turn on the main body power, and press the second camera mark from the left to turn on the drive recorder function.

HD camera lens part.If you insert a microSD, you can record as a drive recorder and take photos with the camera function.As with the safety light on the back of the head, it is IPX5 waterproof, so you don't have to worry about sudden rain.

The back of the head looks like this.The size can be adjusted with the dial that can be seen below.However, it is better to know the size of your head in advance.It is compatible with 56 to 61.5cm, but even if you loosen the dial, it was quite tough to the author.Maybe my head is too big ....

Aside from the big head, the charging exit is a little troublesome.It is a little inconvenient to use Micro USB, but it is inconvenient to be on the bottom of the helmet.It would be easy to charge if you follow the side.

A 4 -hour full charge can be driven for about 72 hours for Bluetooth only, about 48 hours for safety light, and about 3 hours with only HD cameras.

Other accessories.It has an earmuff, so you can use it safely even in winter.

There was a cool photo, so please forgive me here.

Let's finally use it.Even so, there was no helmet that provides safety, the feeling of poor attachment or no stability.I tried it for about an hour on a sunny day, but there was no problem with breathability.I have never sweat or feel uncomfortable.

Regarding speakers and hands -free calls, it may be terrible to seek high sound quality.The songs with a lot of sounds, such as pops, were scattered and did not feel like they could enjoy it.I think it would be best to hear the sounds that are difficult to scatter, such as the radio.I tried cycling while playing the radio for the first time this time, but it is quite fun.I came to seek the time to row a bicycle without a place.

In addition, there is a camera function and a drive recorder, so that is also verified.You may not be able to find the high quality too much.However, it will be a loafi photo.It looks like an instant camera and this is good.

* Please note that the screen shakes.

Drive recorders have the same image quality.It looks like a home camera in the early 2000s.It was cloudy, but the weather was sometimes visible, but the detailed weather seems to be not transmitted.The way to pick up the sound is excellent, so it seems that it is not a problem to grasp the situation in the video, such as a car approaching from behind.

Personally, I felt very grateful to have a drive recorder.I always thought that there was a danger when running on a curve that appears in the video or on a narrow road.In fact, I was about to come into contact with moped and motorcycles.I was very relieved that I wanted to prepare in case of emergency because I was very safe driving.
