World’s First Folding Smart Helmet Smashes Kickstarter Goals in Record Time

LONDON, England, April 9, 2025 (Newswire.com)
–
Woolf Helmets launched this week on Kickstarter and quickly captured the attention of backers, reaching its funding goal in under 3 hours and more than tripling its target within the first 3 days. This revolutionary helmet integrates cutting-edge safety features with unparalleled convenience, addressing the evolving needs of urban commuters and cycling enthusiasts.

Founder Jeff Woolf expressed his excitement, saying, “This is probably the best helmet in the world. Seeing this campaign take off so quickly is incredibly rewarding. I’m thrilled to watch its momentum grow over the next month as we bring this product to life for riders everywhere.”

Unmatched Portability Meets Advanced Safety:

The Woolf Helmet introduces a sleek design that can fold instantly to just over 3 inches, making it the most compact truly foldable helmet on the market. This innovation ensures users can easily carry the helmet in bags or backpacks, eliminating the inconvenience of traditional bulky helmets.

Beyond its portability, the helmet boasts Energy Reduction Technology (ERT), co-developed with Strategic Sports Ltd., a leader in helmet safety technology. ERT utilizes soft, advanced polymer pads that respond instantly to impacts, effectively managing both rotational and linear forces. This technology mitigates high and low-speed impacts, offering enhanced protection against brain injuries.

Smart Features for Enhanced Visibility and Safety:

Woolf Helmets integrates intuitive technology to keep riders safe and focused:

• Hands-Free Turn Signals: Activated by simple head tilts, allowing riders to signal intentions without removing hands from handlebars.

• Automatic Brake Lights: Stop-motion detection triggers brake lights, alerting others on the road to braking or stopping.

• Crash Detection Alerts: In the event of an accident, the helmet can notify emergency services and emergency contacts with the rider’s location, ensuring timely assistance.
