Helmet with rear-view mirror. Gimme now!
11/02/05 at 07:59:52

I saw this just posted at WebBikeWorld:

http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/motorcycle-helmet/reevu/

It's a preview of a full-face helmet with a built-in rear-view mirror.

Is this cool or what?

Expected price about $400.00.

I don't think I can wait until "early 2006" for one of these. I want one NOW!

How about you?

Cheers. Tammi

Reply #5 - 11/02/05 at 16:47:16 Yeah, I was thinking that too (does it compromise the structural integrity of the helmet?) Good concept though. I have a "third eye" mirror on my bicycle helmit and it's great.

Maybe.

It seems that the optics needed to bounce an image up and over the rider's head uses a series of reflections. Maybe one of the reflections flips the image left to right.

But ... who really knows?

I agree, though. I think the rider would want to turn the head left to see -- in the mirror -- what's behind and to the left. Then, to glance over the left shoulder to check the blind spot would just be a continuation of the same leftward head-turning motion.

I would like to try one of these helmets on to see how they operate.
