Sorry, Shiga is countryside 😝 and people in the countryside sometimes live a little behind the moon. 🤣 especially me! All I found was that it is an Android App. I only have an iPhone.

Popular Post Carl Svanfelt Posted April 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2020 Today I have bought a new helmet and mounted a huge bike mirror on it. The whole design works perfectly and I have a good view of what's going on behind me. The assembly weighs 1100 grams in total.

First thing I thought was.."I hope it breaks away easily". Protrusions mounted to helmets have a tendency to endanger the eyes, neck and throat. At the least, it undermines ANY safety rating from the company. If it breaks away easily, less risk to neck but more risk to the face. Cool gadget and seeing behind you has its benefits. I'd think the wind resistance and noise at 30mph would dampen my enthusiasm to wear it. Of course, Im not a "safety guy", so our compromises differ. Everything is a tradeoff it seems.

You've probably never mounted a mirror on your helmet. I can tell you from personal experience that they break very easily.. You'd have to have an especially unlucky day to have it impale your face. And of course if you have a faceshield the risk goes to zero. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course if you have a faceshield the risk goes to zero. Nothing that large for sure.. I once had one on a bike helmet, but it lasted about a day. Unlucky day is falling off at all, aint it? I'd imagine that the risk to your neck from the mirror, is minimal in compare to that of a visor anyhow. I contemplated a mirror for my wrist, but then decided I'd rather just turn my head. Comfort rides a bit higher on my list, than safety in most cases. Its great that we still have the option to embrace these different priorities on a personal basis. I've been eyeballing a new helmet for the euc, but if i ride motorcycles without them whenever i can get away with it, I fear it would collect dust until USA laws about euc's change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Svanfelt Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 The mirror mounting creates no problems for me. The mirror is the weakest link on my helmet and it does not stay in the way of the view in the direction of traveling. It is mounted so that it does not damage the face in the event of an accident. It does not give any air resistance at the speeds you can reach with a Kingsong EUC. If you want to get it tested with the faster GotWay, then you have to send one to me. I crashed last summer with a similar mounting and that time the mirror was bent behind the helmet and caused no damage to my head at all. Safety first! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the mirror don't cause unnecessary rotation of the head in a fall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follow this tour of the pictures. https://euc.world/tour/585424298801243 Note this is the most stupid off road I have done so far. At some point I had to pull out google maps to find a heading back to civilisation. Yes I had to at some point trolley a bit. So now I have 3 days of recovery before my feet and knees can ride again. I need to get my action camera back up running. Edited April 10, 2020 by Unventor 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be the way to Austria and Italy, both have their borders closed. Glorious weather.
