Ride Lumos

I just bought the Lumos Ultra MIPS+ last week, and it is “AWESOME”. But the downside is not being able to turn it ON and OFF via the mobile app, so difficult to reach out and turn it ON and OFF behind the helmet. The button is so difficult to operate even when you don’t have it on your head. I will give it four stars for now until an update comes, with the ability to turn it OFF and ON via the mobile app.

Excellent connectivity and features

I use the helmet & front/rear turn signal lights everyday on my commute. Honestly, i never really open the app - once it was set up, there is no need. It gets the job done, but is very basic. I wish there was more options for the light patterns to extend battery life - i only get about 1 day of commuting (approx 1 1/2 hours) of battery life from the rear set (brake & turn signals) on a dim steady light setting.

Love this helmet, I’m always getting compliments on it when riding. However I wish that there were more options for designs or at least updated designs for the app. There’s still designs in reference to squid games and that show is about 3 years old.. please make new designs

This is my second Lumos. The first Lumos is over a year old and is flawless. I get nonstop compliments from cyclists, pedestrians, and even motorists and have never felt safer on the road. It is worth every penny, I assure you.

That’s all

The app used to record rides and there was an app for the Apple Watch that allowed you to use the watch with arm movement to trigger the the turn signals. That was the whole reason I purchased the helmet. Now there is no watch app and the phone app essentially does nothing. Why?

I had no problem with the older version of the app. It connected to my helmet just fine. Now, I cannot connect my helmet or the new fireflies.

I have the kickstart helmet. It’s great. Very visible. A few gripes though: the app used to offer a push notification of battery percentage whenever it’s turned off. That feature never seemed to work and now it’s not even offered in the app. Also, it looks like the app allows you to adjust the brightness of some helmets, but it doesn’t seem to work with the kickstart - it would be great to have this option. Finally, it would be wonderful to be able to adjust the beep volume - especially at night, it feels like everyone on the road can hear my turning beep, not just me. Other than these few points, it’s a great helmet and app.

I really would like to see more choices for graphics on my matrix and some new features to add my own graphics. Updating the app to sell more products is great but I would like to see more functionality added also. What happened to the Apple Watch feature, that’s a big reason I bought the helmet (as advertised but lumos)
