Through the advanced sensors and unique algorithm Hövding detects the cyclist’s movement patterns and reacts and inflates in 0,1 second in case of an accident. The specialized airbag inflates to cover your head and fixates the neck to provide you with the best protection on the market, up to 8 times better than a traditional helmet. RIDE SAFE. FEEL FREE. WHY HÖVDING IS THE SAFEST CHOICE HOW HÖVDING WORKS AIRBAG SYSTEM SENSORS AND ALGORITHM ACTIVATION COLLAR AND COVER CHARGING 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. 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. Hövding is activated using a button on the zip pull. A sound and a light indicate that Hövding is activated. 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. When sound and light indicate a low battery level, Hövding is recharged by connecting the USB cable supplied in an external charger with a USB port. 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 110 000 copies of Hövding has been sold, and it has kept more than 2 600 bicyclists safe in accidents.
