Evaluation Report Livall Smart Cycling Flashing Helmet Report
The moment I got my hands on this white LIVALL smart cycling helmet, I was so excited that I couldn't put it down. My cycling helmet has been in use for over three years, and its safety performance can no longer be guaranteed due to exposure to the elements. It's like a timely rain, just when I needed it! Thanks to Codoon for giving me this opportunity to review it. After using it for a while, here are my summarized impressions:
1. An ultra-light helmet
The first time I picked up the helmet, it felt so light. The integrated red lining makes it more comfortable to wear, fitting snugly to the head. It feels like it was custom-made for me, and the safety buckle hardly needs any adjustment! I even weighed the helmet on my home scale, and it came in at 291g, whereas my previous helmet was 338g, making it 47g lighter. The helmet is both lightweight and sturdy.
2. Helmet safety indicator lights
Download the Codoon Cycling APP on your phone, pair it via Bluetooth to bind the helmet and the main control to the phone, enabling the main control to operate the helmet's indicator lights for turning. The upper row of red lights alternates flashing, making it very noticeable and enhancing night riding safety. The lower row of six turn indicator lights responds quickly to the main control's operation and has sound prompts, provided that the main control and helmet are properly connected to the phone. The turn indicator lights flash 16 times, which feels quite auspicious, and the long flashing time means a higher safety factor.
3. Wireless Bluetooth speakers and phone calls
Through the Bluetooth speakers, you can play music from your phone with excellent sound quality, bringing endless joy to your ride. However, for safety's sake, you should adjust the volume appropriately, as too loud a volume can affect your ability to hear road sounds. The helmet's standout feature is that you can safely answer phone calls using the main control's phone answer button, with clear sound and great effect.
4. Helmet training functions
The helmet, combined with the Codoon Cycling APP, reports mileage, time, and altitude during your ride based on pre-set parameters on your phone. If you purchase the corresponding cadence and heart rate equipment, it can make your cycling training more scientific and safer. I downloaded the latest version 1.3.6 of the APP, but for some reason, the software automatically exits. This issue requires further investigation, and it might be a problem with my phone.
5. Helmet waterproof performance
To be honest, I really didn't want to test it in the rain, but for a more comprehensive review, I wore it and went out for a spin in the rain. The helmet's buttons and USB port face downward and are sealed with rubber pads, providing good rain protection. The speakers are embedded and also face downward, so there's no major issue. However, riding in the rain itself is not very safe, and the road noise is loud, so it's recommended to turn off the helmet's power.
In summary, this is a cycling helmet worth having, a perfect combination of comfort and safety. Thanks again to Codoon for giving me the opportunity to review the LIVALL smart cycling helmet, and thanks to the appearance of the LIVALL smart cycling helmet, it is a blessing for cyclists!
