I recently purchased the Lumos E-Bike helmet and have used it for a couple of weeks. The main thing I love about it is the front & rear turn signal indicators. And they use a single beep for left turns and a double beep for right turns so you’ll know if you selected the correct button on the remote.
There is a front shield that is very clear to see through with little glare and it will fit over my glasses without touching them. I use it on windy or cold days.
The helmet feels comfortable and no head or neck strain. It’s a very good product and will be my main helmet now.

Really like the fit and features of this helmet...
As a matter of fact I like the helmet so much I bought *two* of them... (Couldn't decide between the blue and the silver, so I just bought both) 👍🏾

I just wish the remote control worked with the lumos lights.

and I wish the charging mat would come back in stock

Lumos Remote (USB-C charging) + Handlebar Mount

I buy this helmet last year at the end of the of the season I use it two times and this year I take the helmet put it on charge and it never charge so I contact Lumps to get help and they are REAL VERY HELPFUL and very fast they send me another helmet it was not the color I want but they send me a NEW ONE, I don't espect that yo get a new one.so THANK YOU VERY MUCJ LIMOS

Schon bei dem ersten Aufsetzen beim Fachhändler war ich schon von der hervorragenden Qualität und dem Tragekomfort des Ultra E-Bike Helm überzeugt. Trotz des Gewichtes von 520g drückt nichts...
Das Visier lässt sich auch ganz nach unten klappen sodass das Visier auf dem Nasenrücken abschließt, also keine Verwirbelungen im Innenbereich. Hinzu kommt noch das es Brillenträger geeignet ist.
Bei dem Helm ist so einiges an Zubehör dabei aber wer Wert auf die Funktion des integrierten Bremslichtes legt der muss sich zwingend die Lumos Remote Control (Fernbedienung) dazu besorgen.
Die Bremslichtfunktion funktioniert mit der beiliegenden Control Lite nicht..!
Die Sichtbar- und Auffälligkeit durch die Blinker vorn und hinten ist für andere Verkehrsteilnehmer hervorragend sodass man wirklich auf den Helm angesprochen (Hey Du, was ist das denn für ein geiler Helm???) wird.
Fazit: Es ist ein Topp Produkt für das ich eine klare Kaufempfehlung gebe obwohl der Preis etwas abschrecken könnte - 260,- Euro sollte einem die eigene Gesundheit wert sein ;)

Overall I really like the mount for the lights. Depending how I am seated I occasionally bump into/displace the lights a bit. I have not yet tried to adjust to correct for it, though I imagine I may find a way to do so.

Blinker für das Fahrrad und zusätzlich das Bremslicht sind ein wichtiger Beitrag für die Sicherheit aller Verkehrsteilnehmer Grade in der Zeit wo alles dank E-Bike schneller und mehr wird sollten neben Helm auch Blinker am Fahrrad Standard sein.

Ich habe den lumos ultra jetzt seit ca. einem jahr.
Schöner leichter helm mit blinker u.rücklicht.
Nach einiger zeit konnte ich die led's nicht mehr aufladen.
Der helm wurde problemlos ersetzt.Super Service:-))

Hi,
hab mir die Lumos Remote als Ersatz für die kleine Fernbedienung, die beim Ultra dabei ist, bestellt, da mir bei der kleinen Remote das ständige Knopfzellen wechseln auf die Nerven ging.
Montage, verbinden mit dem Helm und Konfiguration über die App funktioniert ohne Probleme, Blinkfunktion ist top, dadurch das die Remote beim betätigen auch blinkt kann man beim Helm auf das Akustische Signal verzichte.
Die Bremslicht Funktion war ein Nice to have hab ich auch wieder deaktiviert! Funktioniert nicht zuverlässig, Istform den hinterherfahrenden eher ein Schlagloch Warner, weil die Remote bei jeden kleinen Unebenheit auf dem Weg auslöst.
Empfindlichkeit versucht einzustellen, dann sprichst beim bremsen nicht an. IMO nicht nutzbar. Mir aber egal weil mei e-bike ein zuverlässig anzeigendes Bremslicht hat.

I got my first ride and the helmet did great the only thing I would like is blue tooth speakers built in it.

Ultra Visor

The cable lit up my helmet perfectly 🌈

The Lumos Ultra e-bike helmet lives up to everything you said about it. The battery lasts longer, the helmet is very comfortable, and the M/L fits snugly with or without any caps on. My last Lumos Ultra did not have turn signals in the front and I like the fact that the e-bike helmet also has lights on the sides. the visor is a nice feature as well. All in all I consider it a perfict helmet. Thank you so musch for all the thought you put inyo it.

You haven’t sent me the item so I can’t review it :((

Charging Cable

Excellent helmet with all the right safety credentials. Good fit and would certainly recommend.

Perfect and very fast service. Thank you very much.

I love the faceplate. It allows me to wear my glasses while riding without swapping to non-prescription glasses. I did take a small tumble. It scratched the faceplate and other than than no issues,, other than some scratches on non-hemet protected areas, It is lightweight and comfortable. I always where a helmet, so this one helps my descicion. I do wish it came in brighter colors.

Lumos Ultra E-Bike

Lumos Ultra is a well fitting comfortable helmet so says partner who I bought it for. Lights are good and looks nice on, but the visor, which you have to buy separately, as others have said is very short and doesn’t attach well, so falls off all the time. However a visor is essential in rain.

Very bright, small form factor, easy mounting and removal lights. Excellent battery life and easy syncing and control via Bluetooth and app.

DO NOT PURCHASE THESE. I loved the handlebar mounts at first but they're unreliable and prone to breaking. I'm not sure whether Lumos tested these for a long time with high-vibration bicycle routes but I've finally decided to stop using them after multiple components have broken, including one cracking in half at the midpoint. I accidentally bought two sets because the Kickstarter documentation wasn't clear about what was included and I'm glad I did because it allowed me to use these for a longer period of time but they're totally unreliable in the end.

The rubber guards on the mounts seemed like a good idea until every time my bike leaned against something would loosen them. The rubber insert is also just tabbed in so I've had them fall out multiple times. The inserts that go into the handlebars are flimsy plastic with obvious stress points. Because they're weaker than the threaded rod they're attached to, they receive a substantial amount of stress if the handlebar mounts move at all. An aluminum or steel insert would have been more resilient and less prone to stress fractures. Over-tightening the inserts is very easy to do and will break them, You can't see what the tightening is doing so it's impossible to verify if you've secured the end mount properly or over-tightened and have already broken the insert. Even a textured silicone gasket to wrap the insert and mitigate vibration transferred to the plastic pieces of the handlebar mount would have helped. It's mind-boggling that these rely on a plastic to metal friction to stay seated inside handlebars and it's obvious that sustained vibration would slowly work the end mounts out of the handlebars while weakening the plastic components at very obvious stress points. While biking on a busy street, my right handlebar mount just cracked in half and fell off of my bike, leaving me to jump off and dodge cars to retrieve it and the still attached light from the street. Luckily, I had an intact mount to replace the broken one with but I'm tired of monitoring the handlebar end mounts as they slowly work their way out of the handlebars. That's stress that's not worth paying $30 for. I've included a photo of the broken mount and various broken inserts. The only reason I've been able to use the mounts for the past six months is that I had replacement parts from accidentally buying two sets during the Kickstarter campaign. Had I not done that, I would have had to stop using the end mounts months ago because of the breakage.

I'm honestly kind of furious about this how poorly designed these are in comparison to the turn signal mount, the charging pad and the lights themselves. No one should buy these until Lumos revises the design and makes it hardier. I don't care if they cost $20-40 for a set of these if they are actually built to last. It's clear that these materials are not up to the task and these mounts do not solve the problem they set out to in the long term. I'm glad I got about six months of use out of the four handlebar end mounts I purchased but I'm out $30 at the end of the day. I had been waiting for the mounts to come back into stock because I do like the functionality but they're so poorly engineered that I can't get on board unless they design better ones. Really, really disappointing from an industrial design and ergo perspective. An incredible idea with absolutely gutting execution. I believe I'm owed two sets of handlebar end mounts at this point but, frankly, I don't want them because all these are is a great way to unexpectedly drop your Firefly lights on the street in the middle of a ride.

I would absolutely consider buying a well-designed version of the handlebar end mounts but this is not that. It's not worth the risk of losing your lights or fiddliness required to unscrew and reseat these every time you notice they're getting loose. I'm resigned to using the universal mounts strapped to the sides of my handlebars and that will have to be good enough. As a big fan of the Lumos helmets and the Firefly lights I cannot overstate my disappoint with how poorly designed these mounts are. They are unsuitable for use in any environment with vibration, like biking anywhere but a velodrome. DO NOT BUY.

I found the Helmet to be very comfortable and I had no pressure points all the way around. The air follow was great but then again it cool this evening so I will let you know when it gets warmer. I person pulled up beside me and stated he wish other bicycle riders would ride with a flashing rear light on their helmet. Thanks Lumos.
