Folding Helmet with Light - Overade PLIXI + BLOOM

You can buy your Plixi folding bicycle helmet in our shop and try it out for 14 days. If, unfortunately, you are not satisfied, or the size is wrong, simply return the bike helmet to us at our expense so that we can reimburse you.

The packaging of your helmet contains an explanatory leaflet showing you the 3 very quick and simple steps to do this. Unfolding and folding are intuitive and take just a few seconds.

Before using it, don't forget to lock your helmet in the unfolded position. To be sure, you'll need to hear the "click" sound that completes the last stage.

Electric bicycles (EABs) and mechanical bicycles are often fitted with 'low' lighting, at saddle or wheel height. This position is not always the one that makes you the most conspicuous to motorists.

The Bloom red light complements the mandatory lighting already fitted to your bike. Bloom attaches magnetically to the back of any urban helmet on the market. 

Its high position increases the angle at which the light is diffused, so you can be seen by everyone, whether it's a car, lorry or bus...

The Bloom headlamp has 3 lighting modes so you can signal your presence at any time of day:

• Flash mode
• Steady mode
• Day mode

Of course, indicators can still be activated regardless of the lighting mode selected.

In France, the highway code stipulates that a cyclist must signal his intention to turn using signals so that other road users can anticipate and react accordingly. The signal must be clear and visible to other drivers, pedestrians and other cyclists.

Unfortunately, this harmless act is not always the case when traffic is dense, as is often the case in town.

Scooters, motorbikes and other cars can arrive at high speed and catch you off guard. You could well end up on the wrong side of the road!

Holding on to your handlebars with both hands and staying steady is the best way to stay safe, especially in bad weather or congested urban traffic. 

Bloom bike lights are an elegant answer to this safety problem, as these directional indicators can be controlled by remote control.

Placed on the handlebars of your bike, the remote control is within reach of your thumb. With a simple press, you can trigger the indicator that corresponds to the direction you want to go.

Thanks to Bloom, you can remain stable while communicating effectively with other road users.

Our folding bicycle helmet is also a helmet with integrated lighting, when fitted with its patented Overade Plixi + Bloom rear light.

The importance of adequate lighting when cycling in urban areas cannot be stressed enough. This is why the inclusion of a lighting system on a cycle helmet is of particular importance when purchasing a helmet for use in urban environments.

As a bicycle lighting solution, this helmet is a real opportunity for distracted cyclists who tend to forget their traditional lighting. It is an advantageous solution for increasing visibility in urban environments, while playing the role of a conventional helmet.

TThe Plixi meets the main expectations of the majority of urban cyclists, with the added bonus of a touch of magic and an overdose of practicality. Fold up your Plixi helmet and it's just a small volume that fits easily into any bag. 

The Plixi folding helmet has quickly found its audience. Our customers give it a satisfaction rating of 4.7/5. Here are a few customer comments that make us proud of our helmet: 

"This helmet has been perfectly designed. It deploys really quickly and is robust."

"I am delighted with this helmet. I think I will be ordering more accessories soon."

"Easy to fold and unfold, very convenient to store in your bag. I've been using it for several months now without any problems."

Our Plixi folding bicycle helmet offers the level of protection required by the American CPSC and European CE EN1078 standards. 

The primary purpose of a bicycle helmet is to protect its wearer. Unfortunately, our customers are sometimes the victims of road accidents: a bus that blocks you against a pavement, a motorist who refuses to give way and sends you to the ground... The Plixi has already saved a number of lives and injuries. A number of our customers have already told us how grateful they are for the effectiveness of our helmet. 

Warning: We would like to draw your attention to the fact that it is imperative to change your bicycle helmet (whatever the brand) after a fall or when the helmet has suffered a violent impact. It may have been weakened and no longer offer the initial level of protection for which it is approved. It's also a good idea to change your helmet after 5 years.

The Plixi is an urban cycle helmet that is ideal for cyclists who own electrically-assisted bicycles (EABs).

However, the speed of these bikes must not exceed 25km/h. EN1078 certification applies up to this limit.

Our helmet is therefore not approved for Speed Bike users, also known as VAE45, S-pedelec or Speed-pedelec. The speed limit for these fast electrically assisted bikes is 45 km/h. The standard for Speed Bike helmets is ECE2205.
