VATA7 Introduces Advanced Smart LED Helmet to Improve Nighttime Safety for Motorcyclists
August 24 2024 - 11:25PM
In a significant advancement for motorcycle safety, VATA7, a leader
in smart wearable technology, introduces the X1 Smart LED Helmet,
designed to enhance the visibility of riders during nighttime. This
initiative aims to reduce the number of accidents involving
motorcycles by making riders more noticeable to other road users.

The X1 Smart LED Helmet features comprehensive
360-degree LED illumination, closely integrating with a
motorcycle's existing lighting system to replicate its tail light,
brake light, and turn signals. This technology is crucial,
especially in scenarios where riders are dismounted from their
bikes, significantly increasing their visibility to other
drivers.
The necessity of such technology is underscored
by recent tragedies, such as the unfortunate incident in Florida
where a young army veteran was fatally injured after being
overlooked by multiple drivers post-accident. VATA7's patented
solution aims to prevent such incidents, ensuring riders remain
visible and safe.
The helmet is available in two versions: the
X1-DOT for North American consumers and the lighter X1-ECE22.06 for
international markets. Both models incorporate advanced
aeronautical technology used in fighter jet helmets, and they come
equipped with premium Bluetooth communication systems for seamless
connectivity on the go.

Further enhancing rider safety, VATA7's GEN2
Smart LED Tech Pack includes integrated turn signals and a solar
charging system, alongside a hydration pack and ample storage for
personal items, proving ideal for longer journeys.
Brian Jon Garvey, CEO and Founder of VATA7,
inspired by witnessing a severe motorcycle accident, stated, "After
seeing the daily reports of accidents like the one that took Jack
Dyer, a 26-year-old Army soldier, it became clear that we needed a
proactive solution to ensure rider safety. Our technology aims to
keep families together by preventing such heartbreaking
events."

VATA7’s patented technology extends beyond
helmets. The company’s wireless technology is compatible with any
motorcycle equipped with a brake light. With the latest update to
the VATA7 mobile app, riders can activate the 'AUTO-BRAKE LIGHT'
mode, which automatically engages the brake light on the helmet and
other smart gear when the rider slows down or stops. This app is
available on both Apple and Google platforms and is compatible with
motorcycles, snowmobiles, scooters, e-bikes, and one-wheels.
VATA7 has over 12 global patents and trademarks
and has bases in the USA, Switzerland, and in Hong Kong.
After raising $1.59 million, VATA7 is expanding
their Smart LED helmet line to include a Modular, a Police and
Euro-jet style helmets, as well as break out their patented, proven
Smart LED technology, so that other companies/brands can license
and implement Smart LED Tech, into their own helmets, jackets,
backpacks, etc., outside the VATA7 brand.
Garvey and VATA7 were invited to meet with House
and Senate members, in Washington DC, this year, for the 2nd year
in a row. “Motorcycle safety is important and we’re incredibly
blessed to be associated with the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC)
and the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF).” Garvey says.
With over 12 global patents and expanding its
product line to include new helmet styles and licensing
opportunities, VATA7 is setting a new standard in motorcycle safety
gear. For more information, visit www.vata7.com or follow their
