Unit 1 Sparky Helmet - love the helmet and the customer service!
I absolutely love this helmet, and so does my grandson. I had issues with the Australian website ordering a bundle, but they promptly fixed the issue, and responded really quickly to all my questions. Paulina was amazing. I received in Australia in just under 2 weeks. The helmet has exceeded my expectations. It's so much fun and interactive he actually wants to wear it. I also ordered the silicone inserts - lightning bolts, dino bumps and spikes. The scan feature is an added bonus in case he misplaces it, but we'll also be adding an air tag. It's more expensive than other helmets, but with the extra features, including a magnetic clasp, and clever fit design, it will last him much longer than other helmets that I researched. He'll be the coolest kid at the park. His precious little head is well worth the investment. Safe and fun. Thanks Paulina for all your help.

Sehr schnelle Lieferung und…
Sehr schnelle Lieferung und Sendungsverfolgung.
Habe bei Radelbande auf YouTube von dem Helm erfahren.
Kurz zuvor war ein Freund mit dem Rad gestürzt und der Helm hat ihn vor schlimmeren Verletzungen bewahrt.
Ich habe mir den Aura mit Visier gekauft.
Er sitzt perfekt und lässt sich gut handhabbar.
Das Visier ist super mit der Magnethalterung.
Aus meiner Sicht ein perfektes System.
Habe in der Zwischenzeit das Bedienteil für den Lenker dazu geholt. Das ist noch einmal ein Quantensprung in der Sichtbarkeit.
Die App dazu ist auch gut, dennoch kann es Probleme mit dem Einrichten kommen.
Dann unbedingt die Supportvideos schauen, danach ist es ein Kinderspiel.

Hi Klaus,
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're really glad we had the opportunity to help keep your friend safe, and now you, too. We're also happy to hear you added the handlebar remote! As you mentioned, the turn signals and brake light features make a big difference in visibility.
Regarding the app: a major update is coming soon that will significantly improve usability, so keep an eye out!
Thanks again Klaus for your kind feedback and support.
Happy riding! 😊
Best,
- The UNIT 1 Team

I've been using the UNIT 1 FARO helmet…
I've been using the UNIT 1 FARO helmet along with the remote for left and right signaling, and overall, I’m very impressed with the product.
While the FARO helmet feels slightly heavier at first compared to a regular helmet, this is completely understandable given its advanced features and integrated detection system. Once in regular use, the weight becomes barely noticeable, and it feels just as comfortable and well-balanced as any standard helmet.
The helmet is stylish, sturdy, and thoughtfully designed. The lighting system is powerful, highly visible, and includes multiple modes that are extremely useful in various riding conditions. The turn signal remote pairs easily and functions smoothly, adding a strong layer of safety for urban and nighttime riding. The magnetic rim is secure and doesn’t feel like it would detach unintentionally.
Customer support from UNIT 1 has been excellent—responsive, helpful, and genuinely customer-focused. It’s one of the best support experiences I’ve had.
A small suggestion for improvement: It would be helpful if the system allowed users to add local emergency contact numbers, such as Nepal’s emergency services, which are not currently integrated. Also, please consider including Nepal and other peripheral or semi-peripheral countries in the helmet's system and country list. FARO helmets are now being used globally—not just in core countries—so adding these options would make the product even more inclusive and user-friendly.
Overall, I feel much safer with the FARO helmet and would definitely purchase it again. Highly recommended for safety-conscious riders everywhere.

Hi Giri!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re really happy to hear that your FARO helmet feels comfortable, well-balanced, and stylish — that’s exactly what we aim for! 🙌
We’re also glad the lighting system is helping you feel more visible out there. Rider safety is always our top priority, and it’s great to know the features are delivering on that.
Your shoutout to our customer support team means a lot. At UNIT 1, we want every rider to feel supported and welcomed, so we're thrilled that came through in your experience.
And thank you for your thoughtful suggestion — your feedback about adding local emergency contacts and expanding our country list is incredibly valuable. As FARO helmets continue to be used all over the world, we’re committed to making our systems more inclusive and globally accessible. Your input really helps move that forward.
Thanks again for being part of the UNIT 1 community. Happy, safe riding! 😊
Best,

Their customer support is top notch and I had one of my best experiences ever with them. The AURA helmet is amazing and makes me feel a lot safer. It's light, strong, MIPS, looks good, feels good. The lights are powerful, the different modes are super helpful and connecting it to the other accessories is very easy. I'd definitely buy it again.

Not comfortable for my round head
Unfortunately it's not comfortable for my round head - presses on the sides even with the thinner pads. A shame because I like the safety rating, sun visor, eye visor and lights. Returned for refund.
