This innovative new safety device can be fitted to almost any helmet.
Riding a motorcycle is already risky enough without adding obscured vision to the equation. That's where the Bikerguard is designed to come in. It's a visor wiper that can be attached to just about any motorcycle helmet to swipe away the rain.
Riding motorcycles requires helmets, helmets have visors, and visors get plenty wet in the rain, obstructing the rider’s view. Wipers work on a car windshield, so why not a helmet visor?
The Bikerguard features a tiny electric motor concealed beneath what looks to be a fake carbon-fiber housing that is positioned directly in the center of the brow vent of a regular full-face helmet, meaning the visor can still be lifted while the Bikerguard is attached.
The device is wireless, waterproof (well, obviously) and the company claims that it's capable of lasting up to 15 hours between charges.
Users have the ability to operate the wiper manually (a single button press of the handlebar-mounted controller will result in a single swipe of the wiper), or on a frequency-based cycle (just like in cars). Additionally, the unit is easy to remove and comes in a sturdy carry case that is just a little bigger than a sunglass pouch, making it's small enough to fit in your backpack until it starts to rain.
Bikerguard retails for $430 (€399) but is currently 20% off at $343 (€319).
