Bought this after seeing another rider using it. Easy to install and use and I feel so much safer (more visible) when using it.
Tracy C.
Absolutely love the new unit. A lot brighter than I thought it would be, and works as advertised. The power button is a little hard to activate, but is starting to work it self in. On top of that, it came three days earlier than the delivery date!
Carroll L.
Tried them 12/1 and 12/2 on a long ride. Works really well. One unit is hard to turn on and off, but we are working around this. Highly recommend .
Richard M.
This purchase was for my wife. I get inquiry about this product all the time. I am firm believer that anything you can do to get the attention of the motoring public when riding a motorcycle increase your survival odds. I never ride without my Brakefree on.
This product is durable, easy to mount and easy to use every time you go for a ride. Yes I have recommended this product to every person that is on riding on two wheels.
Onkar S.
Mounting was easy. The three settings are good. It's very bright and noticed.Looking forward to the full riding season. Thanks Brake Free.
Patricia S.
This is the only thing that my boyfriend asked for for Christmas…
He doesn’t have it yet but he did lots of research on the product and has friends that have strongly recommended it…
Jason L.
This thing is amazing! I commute on my motorcycle. Even though the daylight gets shorter, I have peace of mind that other drivers in the road can see my better!
The instruction was clear and the quality of the product was superb!
Thanks for the product!
Hans C.
I've been following Brake Free since their cloud sourcing and the only other product that seemed anywhere as good was the French company Cosmo. Brake Free has a significantly greater surface area than Cosmo, so that was what closed the deal. It is a safety enhancement so of course the bigger the better.
Battery life is great - I set it to flash mode and stuck it in the closet where it kept going for full 48hrs. I needed some mounting advice and Brake Free responded through Messenger within several hours and it was during a holiday, so I'm impressed by their Customer Service.
I will definitely be a repeat customer when the time comes to buy a new one.
Thomas R.
This is a brilliant idea. I was recently run off the road by a careless driver and the whole accident may have been avoided if I had the bright Brake Free on my helmet. It is definitely going on my new helmet!
Joe M.
Just got back from a multi day trip in mostly bad weather and my brakefreetech light was a big hit. The rest of my group loved how easy it was to see me in the rain and fog! Love this safety product!
Kelly M.
Works awesome, lights up at the same time at the brake light, you'd think they were wired together!
Elizabeth J.
It's a Christmas present so not yet in use. But have seen a fellow rider's in action and I'm very impressed.
Marc D.
The product is great but the button should be larger and sit higher. It is difficult to turn on, cycle, and nearly impossible with gloves. I have tried working the switch with a chopstick to see if I can free it up a bit. This doesn’t work either. The problem is that the switch sits below the frame of the unit and it is too small. Something to think about for future iterations.
John N.
Fits my SHOEI helmet nicely. This product is very well made. Anything to enhance others to see you on the road and I believe this product does that perfectly.
Jim C.
A great addition to my safety gear, very bright LED and slim design, mounts firmly and easily. Very unhappy with the on/off button. Forget gloves, sharp pointy finger needed. You don’t know until you release if the light is going to turn on or not. Multiple attempts necessary. I may develop the skill eventually, but thinking about returning what feels like a defective device. A clear decisive on click may be helpful.
Mohamed O.
Sharp Stylish and secure
David N.
The brake free was packaged nicely and is easy to use. It does not have a tight fit on my HJC helmet though and I may consider mounting it on a sissy bar instead. Overall it appears to be a good product to have to increase your safety.
Michael L.
Firstly, I am very impressed with the technology of the Brake free lighting system.
The Brake free light has great visibility during the day and, evening.
The motion of going and stopping works very well.
William J.
My riding buddy had purchased the Brake Light and was riding with it on a 2 week bike trip we took in July. I was very impressed with the performance especially during a very heavy rain. I now own one of my own.
Moshe S.
I always wanted this helmet rear brake light ever since I saw Brakefree on indiegogo several years ago.
I finally pulled the trigger and bought one for myself after seeing a motorist on the highway wearing one and experienced the visibility and brightness in broad daylight as a driver in a car alongside the person wearing the Brakefree helmet brake light.
I use it on my helmet when I ride my electric unicycle to make myself more visible to the cars on the road and for them to know when I'm slowing down.
I feel much safer now when I use this light.
I highly recommend it for all motorists, bikers, boarders, scooterists, etc.
Ride safe everyone!
MITCHELL C.
feel much safer with this.
Jason K.
easy to install. looks great. easy to use.
Dave T.
I bought one for myself and was so impressed sent the info out and shared mine with the group I ride with and all bought the light!
Peter B.
It was recommended to me by a motorcycle forum friend, and I know he does a research and does not buy s**t
Once I read his opinion I bought it as well.
Already mounted on my helmet, plus is ready to be transferred to my second helmet any time thanks to extra bracket set I purchased together.
Great light which significantly improves riders VISIBILITY and SAFETY.
Peter

Mark C.
Works as advertised- ensures an extra layer of safety when riding. Nice product
Emilio T.
Amazing design. Excellent functionality. Helps to be seen, especially by trucks. It would be nice if it would come with 2 mounts directly with the unit.
Moshe P.
The best thing I ever bought for motorcycle safety this thing is genius when you don't touch it shut itself off when you touch the helmet is turning itself on as long as the helmet in move it's going to be on when you break a lights gets brighter we talking about premium safety here and the mount is so easy to install and it's so cheap to buy a different Mount and you can put it on any helmet and just click like 3 seconds. If you don't have it and get it now I'm sure they're going to be out of stock very soon.
Gary R.
Absolutely Awesome! I got my Brakefree light just before Biketoberfest 2021. I put it on the back of my wife's helmet while we were riding 2-up. I could definitely tell vehicles were aware of it and keeping their distance. The light is super bright and lightweight. It lasted all day on one charge. I highly recommend this product. You will not be disappointed.
Albert D.
I like the light. Would have liked it even more if it had come with a helmet mount so I could actually mount it on my helmet.
Roger T.
This product is nothing shot of genius!!
I love this added protection when riding my motorcycle, thanks to Brake Free!!
Thanks, and keep making awesome products!!
dave b.
Very quick shipping, instructions were helpful for an easy install. First charge took a while, but I've had it on for the last week. I don't notice the extra weight on the helmet. Looking forward to the added visibility
Let's visit this in a year. I'm pleased so far
Anthony E.
Excellent product that increases visibility when I ride…brought the additional adhesive pads for my other helmets as well…properly fitted each one and now I won’t leave home without my brake free…have not had to recharge it yet even after heavy use over the last week+, received it 10/8/2021 and have only had to charge it once (initial charge)…I am an educator and have a daily 40 minute commute…I also leave school(s) at different times of the day/evening/night…this creates opportunities to be seen with my commute taking me on varied types of roads…main roads, backroads, city traffic, and highways as well…Brake Free is an absolute necessity as a motorcyclist…lastly I was concerned that the Brake Free would not fit on my Shoei’s (GT Air II & RF 1200) due to the ridge but they were easily placed and fit great without issue providing great visibility with a jacket and backpack.
James A.
I love this thing. I ride a rigid chopper with a tiny brake light on the rear fender and this is perfect for keeping cars alerted to me slowing down especially at night. Great purchase!!
Chris O.
Smartest money I’ve spent in a while for making cage drivers SEE ME. Very well made. Delivers on it claims. Don’t forget to buy multiple mounts so your friends/loved ones can also use it. Sharing it is a great option.
Daniel D.
Knowing I have more visibility while sharing the streets with increasingly distracted drivers gives me confidence that I’m being proactive to increase my safety. We all know that little knot that forms when you’re in a lane and look over to see drivers eyes down with phone in hand. I have already shared with 2 riding buds and regularly leave the lights on when I get to a destination so I can share it with anyone who asks about the lights. Thanks!
Vincent F.
I did not have any photos while I was driving but overall, this product was very helpful on my protection and visibility on the road especially when I go out early in the morning to work. I also bought another set of adapter mount for my other helmet and to my wife. Overall, I would recommend this product and I hope to buy another one as a give for my brother in the Philippines who loves riding his motorbike everyday.
Joe M.
Awesome product that adds an extra layer of protection from distracted drivers/tailgaters. I am headed on a multiple day group ride and excited to use this safety tool. Super customer service that is swift in response and knowledge.
Joe
charles j.
Riding In traffic in New York and Long Island. I’ve had drivers pull up in stop and go saying how great this product it. I feel safer and notice less tailgating while riding. Visibility is great.
Todd Preston H.
With the standard lights so low on the motorcycle, I really enjoy now being "seen" more easily, and more in line with other driver's line of sight. This is a great safety invention that all motorcyclists should use!!
Adrian P.
I won’t ride my bike without my brake free light, specially at night time riding. I feel so safe and I’m sure drivers behind me can see me right away. The brake free light is not heavy, you won’t actually even feel it in your helmet and it’s supper bright! Good job team for this amazing piece of technology, bravo!
Eddie K.
Great product. Very bright and easy install.
Ko H.
Great product! Really notice cars giving me distance during my rides.
Eduardo V.
Thank you!
It’s a great product and definitely a lifetime changing. Unfortunately & I personally have not put it onto work yet, but I can tell it’s great! Love it, like. Technology delivered.
Chris V.
I’ve been waiting for a product like this! I’ve looked at other helmet-mounted LED lights, but you either got a static light, or had to wire in a transmitter to your brake light to get a brake light effect on the helmet.
This makes it easy. Just turn it on and it works. No fuss. I commute daily in heavy Southern California freeway traffic, so the added light gives one more measure of safety.
Daniel J.
I've had other cycles and cars both comment on how much more that helps. I have my riding buddies getting one also. Incredible light!
Thomas H.
I was not sure I could use this with a couple of my helmets but I have been able to install it on all of my helmets and the people riding behind me tell me it works great. A friend of mine who I ride with frequently, has had the Brake Free Light for about a year and it works just as advertised. Easy to switch between helmets with the additional mounts.
DAVID H.
A club member brought one to a meeting and showed us how it worked. Needless to say, I ordered mine as soon as I got home. I commute in the early morning when the light is low and drivers are sleepy.
Jacquline Y.
Anything that makes me more visible is great!
Amir S.
Love this product.
Even bought one for my friend.
Get this thing!!!
Mark H.
Howdy,
The product is well built however as I just started using it I'm interested in it's longevity.
Couple of suggestions:
1. As you work on more prototypes consider making it 'flatter' as it is somewhat bulky.
2. Consider working with helmet manufactures to get it integrated into the helmet similar to how the comm systems are now being integrated.
3. A nice to have would be integration to an app on the phone that allows you to see battery life/change settings for flashing and other un-thought of 'cool' changes.
4. Can you make it out of carbon fiber?
Feel free to use me as a beta tester if needed.
Thanks

Brake Free is a Great safety product, easy to install directions are perfect, picyures. I liked the fact that I could email the firm and ask if the Brake Free would fit on my new Nolan helmet. I have been riding for 55+ years and was rear-ended by a car in the early 70's. My bike was totaled, I went over the car that hit me bounced off the roof and trunk then landed on the roadway looking up at a car that managed not to run over me. I am always looking in my mirrors for cars behind me, now my past few rides I have been more comfortable than I have been in years.
this is one great product.
Bertrand C.
Brake free brings lights and safety to riders, if you want to be seen ware brake free
Bill L.
Smart design, techno-cool look & most importantly....IT WORKS!
Chuck B.
The light works great and definitely adds a level of safety that I didn't have previously. I would definitely recommend this product to every motorcyclist out there!
Jonathan B.
I absolutely love how this thing makes me so much more visible at night or even during the day when i’m riding. I truly believe that every helmet should have one mounted.
Riando W.
This light is exactly what I dreamed of when I initially starting looking for a rear light for riding my EUC (Electric Unicycle). When I finally found a company that made it I had to have it. Although the light is not cheap, it is definitely worth the cost. Don't waist your time on those bike lights and trying to figure out how to connect them to your jacket and back pack. Get the Brake Free Light for your helmet. It is perfect for me.
Lance W.
By far one of the coolest things I’ve ever purchased. Get lots of comments when sitting at lights about how bright it is. Highly recommend if you’re a fan of high visibility
Damon K.
Great product. We’ll crafted. I get a lot of complaints on it. I feel safer on the road. Three of my buddies who I ride with have purchased theirs.
Richard V.
The number of people who tell me it gets their attention is incredible. Who doesn't want to be more seen when riding! Best gift ever. Oh, charges easy, holds power on all day and clips on/off helmet easily.
Noorul A.
Works perfectly!
Donald J.
The light works great and is noticed by all. The bikers that I ride with are very curious so I spread the word.
One issue, though. I have the mounts on three helmets. Two are identical and have an odd shape in the back so after I put the mount on them I also applied some strong glue along the edges (just to be sure). The other, more normal helmet just got the mount which turned out to be a problem. Walking out of the house the mount fell off! I am so glad it happened there because if it had done this while riding the whole light would have been lost or at least damaged. I have since applied the glue like on the other two helmets and so far so good. I am considering drilling a small hole to the end so that I can wire or zip-tie it to the helmet for security. Maybe some more R&D on the mount would be worth pursuing.
Overall a fantastic product with a weak mounting system.
Joe M.
Very easy to install and operate. Excellent instructions and video link (worth the time to watch). Mounts securely with a reassuring click. Don’t be afraid to snap it on and off once mount adhesive is fully cured. I bought extra mounts so swapping out with other helmets is easy. My wife wears it on her helmet when she is a passenger. The lights are quite conspicuous, even in the daylight hours (according to those who ride behind me). Observers have confirmed activation with normal breaking and even engine breaking.
The power button takes some pressure to activate, a good design to prevent accidental on/off. I also like how it goes into sleep mode when helmet is off your head at a rest stop. It comes on again as soon as it detects movement.
Overall, a very robust design that you don’t really think about once you switch it on before a ride. It gives me peace of mind to know it’s letting people know I’m slowing, even before I’m on the brakes. Excellent product!
Dan M.
IT WAS SUPER EASY TO INSTALL. I HAVE RIDEN A FEW TIMES USING IT. OTHER BIKERS SEE IT AND LOVE IT. THEY WANT TO KNOW HOW TO GET IT.
Angel H.
Bought 2 of these one for the wife and daughter, lets just say it was money well spent, they are short riders and the brake lights on their bikes are low to the ground, this provides a great deal of braking visibility, and folks are asking them all the time about the unit.
Thank you for such a great product.
Scott T.
Works as advertised and is well worth the money for some added safety! Highly recommended!
John B.
The product is well made and was easy to mount to my Shoei helmet. One minor gripe is that I wish the power button had more tactile feedback. Great product!
Hugh G.
On my very first ride, I notice following vehicles were backing off and giving a greater cushion for themselves and more importantly myself.
I would have given it Five-Stars, but the on-off-mode switch is much too hard to operate. It is so aggravating that it has caused me, on occasion to just give up and not use the device!
THOMAS K.
With other similar products available I was concerned about price, but after a quick email to the team, I was convinced to try. I’m now on my second one. One for the bicycle and one for the motorcycle. One concern though is the adhesive. On my newest unit, on for a week or so, the unit fell off the helmet. Double face tape was still on the helmet, but the unit was on the ground. Hope it’s just a bad batch of tape.
Mark T.
Two of the most important safety objectives as a motorcycle rider is to see and to be seen. The Brake Free helmet braking light really helps with the latter as it lights up even if you're just engine braking with no front or rear brakes applied, alerting the vehicle behind you that you're slowing down. You can't have too many lights on a motorcycle and the addition of the Brake Free is the best light I've added!
Benno l.
Super bright and easy use keeping my son safe on his first motorcycle fast delivery with very accurate tracking
Romeo P.
Brake light works better then what I was expecting it to work . Cars passing me would turn to see if my helmet had a integrated light built into it. Light can be seen both during the day time and night time , which gives me greater sense of security knowing that I will be seen by vehicles coming behind me.
Carl M.
Took a long ride today, felt more safe with the Brake Free attached to my helmet. Easy install and easy to program. LEDs are very bright. Will highly recommend this to any motorcycle rider who asks me about it.
francisco a.
Its such a great safety product specially for a new rider like me thank you so much
Eric A.
Been using this for a while now primarily for commuting/night rides in all weather it has held up well. Anything to get the cars to pay attention that a motorbike is on the road/lane is a great thing. I run the device with all the LEDs lit at night time and during the day I use the minimal mode (3). I run this on a icon Airflite and it fits with no issues. Look forward to next riding season full time with the brake free.
Phillip B.
Ok, so far so good. I have it mounted but will take it out for the first time on Sunday.
However, Now that I have it securely 'clicked in' to the glue structure unit on the back I can find no directions about how to get the light unit off the back of the helmet. Like how do you "unclick" it off the anchor piece...???? dudes!
Any help would be appreciated: Phil Ball. philball@cox.net
William E.
Great service!!!!
keith s.
Rode with a friend behind me and he thought before he saw it work that i had payed to much for it !! After he saw it work he got home and ordered one for himself!!! Now that he has one its the best thing since peanut butter! We go to as many local cruse nights as we can and allways show and tell them! People really are impressed with them. Thanks for making a great safety device!!
Vlada Z.
Fits half face helmet with a lot of space for adjusting mount up or down. It's works absolutely great as advertised. It's one gadget that you MUST have it if you ride motorcycle. Happy riding
William P.
It works great!
Louis E.
The brightness and algorithm work great. It mounted quite nicely on the back of my Icon Airform.
The one thing I really don't like is that I've paid $150 for a device in 2021 and it has a micro USB port with no fast charging. Come-on guys, you could have shelled out the extra $1 per unit to reduce charge time and reduce the number of cables I need to have kicking around.
Alan O.
This is a great product, fits perfect my helmet and is slim enough so my helmet fits under my seat. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who rides!
Sonya W.
I am very new to being a driver on a bike I've always been a passenger but I do love this it gives extra light behind me for drivers to notice I absolutely love it
Vic L.
This is a great tool if you are driving in no to low light levels. Even great for daytime driving. I drive 45 miles one way to work. I am seen so much better than not having one;, I purchased one for the wife and I. Well worth the money.
Vicente V.
It’s lightweight and bright. Perfect to catch the attention of today’s driver
Richard S.
Looks great on my hi-vis Arai and was easy to install. Works as advertised and gets noticed. I believe in ATGATT and this light has become an important part of my gear. Very pleased.
Reid N.
The instructions are simple and easy to follow. Installing and using it is a breeze. My wife has followed me through traffic and states that I am much, much more visible, but "it doesn't look out of place." My guess is that we will start to see safety tech like this being built into helmets in the future as the technology becomes more ubiquitous. If you are on the fence about getting one, go for it. It's well worth the money.
J. E.
Awesome product,, great value for the price. Safety 1st is priceless..
Marc B.
Great safety device and works as advertised. Fitment on the Shoei RF-1200 no problem even with the horizontal ridge on back of the helmet. No comments from anyone yet but drivers behind me seem to keep more distance. Like the fact I didn't have to mess with the wiring on the bike as needed with a brake light modulator. Some reviews have commented on the added weight on helmet but I don't notice it. If you prioritize safety and being more visible you won't be disappointed.
Nicholas Y.
Easy to install and well-designed product. It just looks good. I had my son ride behind me when I first used it and he said it worked great. Very bright and easy-to-see. I feel like it provides an additional level of safety when I am on the motorcycle.
Hugh K.
Does not fit my wife's helmet. I need a smaller and or taller radius. Her helmet has a small tight radius and your mounting clip will not conform to it.
Any tips?
Thank You
Hugh Kelly
Glenn D.
I don't know how they do it, but it works! Provides great light and visibility when generally riding, and it really lights up in a big way when I brake. Excellent product - highly recommended. Thanks!
Cid C.
This product changed what safety means when riding. I can clearly be seen braking, especially, when there are high profile vehicles behind me. Got a lot of thumps up from from drivers.
Ron M.
It's difficult for 4 or more wheeled vehicles with all the pillars around them to sometimes see us on two wheels. The more lighting we have the better and safer it is for us and a lot of sport bikes fall short of having enough rear lighting.
This is where Brake Free comes to the rescue and it's not only a brake light but it's also a slow down brake light. I feel safer especially with vehicles behind me now.
I don't know what the longevity of this product is especially since the battery isn't user replaceable and hope it lasts.
Lester R.
A great product that not only looks great, but makes a real difference in safety when you are out on the road.
Since getting my motorcycle endorsement, I started really noticing how difficult it was to see many motorbikes while driving a car. Newer bikes have better, brighter LED taillights, but many bikes on the road have underpowered lights in the rear. And of course, normal brake lights don't illuminate during deceleration, engine braking, etc... The Brake Free takes care of all this and puts the light in a position that really grabs the attention of drivers. You will notice a difference in how cars around you behave when using the light! You obviously still must have situational awareness at all times when riding, but I feel so much safer knowing I have this product for increased visibility.
John L B.
My son rode behind me on his bike and said he was ordering one tonight
Corey Y.
Great product and is very bright and seems to keep automobiles off of my tail.
Works as advertised.
Renee R.
I was actually looking at a competitor’s product first, but didn’t feel “sold”- I stated googling and found Brake Free and was so impressed with the brilliance of both the light and the creators on Shark Tank, I was immediately hooked!
Speaking of immediate, it seemed I no sooner ordered, and it was delivered in no time. I ordered extra mounts and got them NEXT Day!
The light is so responsive to kinetic change. Easy to install and charge. Super visible in the daytime as well! Everyone in my Sunday Morning Moto club loved it !
Thx Brake Free! I feel safer on the road!
Michael V.
Very impressed and pleased with this product. I definitely feel safer on roads with this light while riding. I have a 2019 Thruxton R with a New Rage Cycle LED rear fender eliminator kit which I love but made me worried i was sacrificing a bit too much in visibility/safety. Comes with premium packaging, quick delivery and easy / simple to install. Just read directions and plan ahead (Recommended 24 hour glue mount cure time). Highly recommend
Thomas B.
Great safety light! I was recommended to getting this sure too the Ryker lights being so low that sometimes you wonder if they see you. Lights up very bright when you stop and when you down throttle. I highly recommended and super easy to put on the mount to the helmet and is very secure.
