WHY HÖVDING IS THE SAFEST CHOICE HOW HÖVDING WORKS 1 AIRBAG SYSTEM In the event of an accident, the patented airbag inflates in 0,1 seconds to form a hood that fixates your neck and provides 3 times better shock absorption than a traditional bicycle helmet. 2 SENSORS AND ALGORITHM When activated, Hövding records the cyclist's movements 200 times a second. In the event of an accident, the cyclist's abnormal movement is detected and the airbag inflates. 3 ACTIVATION Hövding is activated using a button on the zip pull. A sound and a light indicate that Hövding is activated. 4 COLLAR AND COVER The collar is made of waterproof, functional fabric to provide the best possible protection for the built-in airbag system. Different covers are available in our online shop. 5 CHARGING When sound and light indicate a low battery level, Hövding is recharged from a computer or a wall socket, using a USB cable. A fully charged battery lasts for approximately 9 hours of cycling. THE IDEA OF A BICYCLE HELMET WITH AN AIRBAG was born in 2005 by two Swedish students of Industrial Design. It took seven years to develop Hövding from a concept to a certified product. Today over 50 000 copies of Hövding has been sold, and it has kept more than 800 bicyclists safe in accidents.
