Brake Free: Not Just for Motorcycles

While the majority of our content is focused on bikes—we’d just like to throw a reminder out there.

If there’s a helmet involved, along with braking of any variety: Brake Free can help you stay visible. From snowmobiles to OneWheels to EUCs, Brake Free is an incredible addition to your gear to improve visibility.

PEVs need Improved Visibility Too

With more and more PEVs entering the market—and as such, becoming more popular methods of commuting—the need for rider visibility is increasing across the board.

Electric skateboards, OneWheels, and EUCs, for example, have found their way to U.S. households in a pretty significant way. In 2024, 8% of households reported having an e-scooter available. That makes almost a tenth of U.S. households using alternate methods to a traditional vehicle to get around—and that’s only e-scooters.

Major cities in particular are experiencing a boom in rentable e-bikes and scooters, which means more alternative methods of transportation on the road at any given time. Which means now, more than ever, we have to collectively work to improve rider visibility on roads—regardless of the type of vehicle.

The point being, if you’re in a situation where you are on a vehicle that slows down: Brake Free can help you stay seen on the road. With no wires or apps necessary, Brake Free functions completely independently using a combination of accelerometer and gyrometer sensors inside the unit.

Our patented algorithm takes in all the data from the sensors and determines any time you're slowing down, no matter how. That means engine braking, downshifting, emergency braking, or plainly put: reducing your speed in any way.

So What Kind of Helmet Does Brake Free Work With?

As far as motorcycle helmets go: Brake Free fits helmet sizes XS to 4XL, matte and gloss finish, full face, 3/4 and half helmets.

We fit-tested Brake Free on race helmets, street helmets, touring helmets, adventure helmets, modular helmets, and even some skateboard helmets, downhill bike helmets, and dirt bike helmets.
