Sometimes I feel that time flies by so fast. It seems like yesterday that my niece was born, but in fact she is already in her teens and about to enter junior high school. The junior high school she will attend next year is still a few kilometers away from her home. It is too far to walk and it is inconvenient to take the bus. At that time, she is just old enough to ride a bicycle, so buying her a bicycle became the best choice.

Of course, she has actually been able to ride a bicycle for a long time. When she came to my house during the holidays, she would often push my dad's bicycle and ride it for dozens of minutes on the small road without cars, and she never tired of it. She was not allowed to go on the main road. After all, she was still young and she was afraid that she would not be able to cope with the traffic coming and going. Good guy! She will go to junior high school in the county town next year. There should not be too many cars on the street. Although she must be allowed to ride, she still needs to have the necessary protection, such as a helmet. Moreover, in our county, starting last year, the traffic police also started to catch people without helmets.

When I was looking for a helmet for her online, I found a smart helmet - Helmetphone BH51M Neo smart helmet (hereinafter referred to as BH51M Neo smart helmet). It not only provides protection, but also supports Harmony Connect.

Hmm...it was interesting, so I decided to buy it as a gift for her to enter college.

The top of the box of the BH51M Neo smart helmet is rich in information, including product functions and many awards won by the manufacturer LIVALL. It can be seen that this product is not only rich in functions, but also the team that built it is also very capable. Product functions include warning headlights, brake warning lights, automatic shutdown, two-way anti-lost, hands-free operation, smart lighting, fall alarm, one-button help, one-button answer, voice intercom and voice navigation, etc.

Of course, there is more information on the packaging box. For example, there are precautions written in 8 languages ??on the bottom. This product should have a relatively wide user base. In my impression, European and American countries are indeed ahead in terms of the depth of outdoor sports. It seems that more and more people are getting involved in outdoor sports only after everyone has more money in their pockets in the past few years, hahaha.

There are detailed product parameters of the BH51M Neo smart helmet on the side of the package. After looking around the package, you can basically have a relatively intuitive understanding of this product.

The magnetic charging interface of the BH51M Neo smart helmet is not universal, but the magnetic effect is quite good. You don’t have to worry about poor contact when using it. The charging time is officially recommended to be about 3 hours. The helmet has a relatively long battery life (the warning light lasts up to 10 hours, and the music plays for 3-6 hours), which is enough for a single city/suburban ride.

The instruction manual is well illustrated, making it stress-free to get started.

The BH51M Neo smart helmet has a narrow brim on the front, which can provide light protection from rain. The protective net on the upper side of the hat brim has a vent in the middle and warning lights on both sides. I think the design of this hidden warning light is pretty good. After all, it would feel weird if there was something like a light strip on the front of the helmet.

There are 4 ventilation slots on the top of the helmet to maintain good ventilation even in hot weather. The outer layer of the BH51M Neo smart helmet is made of ABS material, which has better impact resistance and penetration resistance. Moreover, ABS also has a better appearance than EPS, so it is good to be used as the surface layer. The BH51M Neo smart helmet is available in two colors: starry black and rock gray. I think both are quite hard-core. The one I have is in rock gray.

There are "Harmony O S Connect" words on the left side of the helmet. If it is a Harmony system mobile phone, you can use the smart connection function without even downloading the App.

The design style of the light strip on the back of the helmet is a bit like the front of a high-speed train. It has a sharp style. Girls will look cool when wearing it. Boys will naturally look like the most handsome guys on the street~

Helmetphone is LIVALL A sub-brand of Liwo, it is the first full-scenario smart experience helmet launched by Huawei’s Hongmeng ecological partner.

The rear light strip area of ??the BH51M Neo smart helmet is very wide, making it highly recognizable when driving on the road. The on/off key is also set at the tail of the helmet, and it is very convenient to control it by touch when it is worn on the head. At the same time, 5 vents are provided at the rear of the helmet to further improve the wearing comfort in hot weather.

Because the charging contacts are recessed, dust and dirt can easily accumulate if they are fully open. A silicone plug with the "LIVALL" logo is set on the contact surface of the BH51M Neo smart helmet, which is not only anti-fouling, but also waterproof (practical in rainy days). "REDEFINE YOUR SAFETY" - Redefine your safety, which is also the original intention of this helmet.

The inner shell of the helmet is made of EPS material, which is polystyrene foam. It has the advantages of low water absorption, good thermal insulation, light weight and high mechanical strength, so it can achieve effective protection when an impact occurs. Buffer, reduce damage. Of course, in order to ensure wearing comfort, the BH51M Neo smart helmet is surrounded by comfortable skin-friendly sponge pads.

The strength of EPS material is very high, so it has good impact resistance.

Whether it is the top of the head, chin, cheeks, back of the head or forehead, there are sponge pads, which are protected by ABS and EPS to provide comfortable wearing.

The headband of the BH51M Neo smart helmet has very good toughness. There are adjustment buckles on both sides. There is also a lock buckle on the chin that is easy to lock and remove. It is more convenient and comfortable to wear.

The Bluetooth speaker and call microphone are another special feature of the BH51M Neo smart helmet. It also has a call noise reduction function. When listening to music and answering calls, you can not only hear clearly but also free your hands. There is no danger of blocking the ear canal like wearing headphones.

The head circumference of the helmet can be adjusted with the knob to accommodate different sized heads.

The BH51M Neo smart helmet is also equipped with a BR80 flash control. When installed on the bicycle handlebar, you can easily call up a variety of functions, including listening to music, taking photos, and turning on the turn signal.

Moreover, there is no need to tighten screws when installing the BR80 flash control, it can be directly embedded on the handlebar.

The light strip of the BH51M Neo smart helmet can be controlled through the BR80 flash control or the App. The control process is relatively sensitive and there is no obvious delay.

Even in the daytime, the brightness of the turn signal is relatively high, so it is easy to be noticed by the vehicle behind in time, thus ensuring safety.

The helmet has a built-in gravity acceleration sensor. When it detects significant deceleration, the front and rear LED lights will illuminate for 8 seconds to warn pedestrians of vehicles in front and behind.

Rotate the rear head frame adjuster to adjust the head circumference of 57-61cm.

If the head circumference is too tight, the wearing comfort will be poor; if the head circumference is too loose, the helmet will be loose and unable to provide good protection. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the head circumference to suit your own size.

Fix the mobile phone on the front of the handlebar, or fix the action camera on the helmet, and you can control the camera function through the BR80 flash control. The activation process of the function is also sensitive and without delay.

Voice assistant is another great tool to "free your hands". It can also control functions such as music playback through one-click flash control.

The BH51M Neo smart helmet supports two apps, "Laiah Cycling" and "Smart Life". Let's take a look at the functions of these two apps.

The Lai Cycling APP is a brand-native APP. LIVALL itself is a senior helmet manufacturer, so the functions of Lai Cycling are also relatively mature. Interface functions include cycling data, social networking, selected content, equipment binding and settings, etc.

Of course, the most important thing is the equipment page, because it involves the binding and use of the BH51M Neo smart helmet and BR80 flash control. Of course, if you have other equipment such as cadence and heart rate, you can also bind it and use it. The equipment page of Laiah Cycling gives me the feeling that the cycling function is relatively complete.

When riding, you can set the lighting effect of the helmet. The running water light is a marquee. Which kind of light you choose depends entirely on your personal preference. After the automatic shutdown is turned on, of course it is to save energy. The anti-lost function is more practical: when the helmet is successfully connected to the App and the distance exceeds 15 meters, the helmet will make a beeping sound to remind the user. Small details like this are really useful. Sometimes I ride a bicycle with an umbrella. The umbrella is placed in the basket on the front of the car and I often forget to take it after parking. If only my umbrella had a similar function, I wouldn't have lost it. The left and right turn signals have a large touch area, which is convenient when the mobile phone is fixed on the handlebar and can replace the flash control to control the helmet's turn signals.

The BR80 flash control can also be bound to Lai'a Cycling for App-side control.

Setting up an emergency contact is a very important step, involving SOS first aid when wearing a helmet is in danger.

When the helmet is hit (meaning a crash), the BH51M Neo smart helmet automatically turns on the SOS emergency mode and sends a location-based distress message/email to the preset emergency contact after 90 seconds. After checking the information/email, the emergency contact can provide immediate rescue to the crashed person based on the location information provided. I am not afraid on the main road, but I am afraid in remote and sparsely populated places. If I fall seriously, SOS emergency mode can save my life.

Laiah Cycling can also pull local songs from your mobile phone, create a playlist, and play it directly on the App. During the song playback process, you can use the BR80 flash control or directly click on it with your mobile phone, whichever is more convenient. .

I think it is more practical to set the offline map and voice broadcast settings of the content. Road addicts like me always rely on navigation when going out. Offline maps are not affected by signal strength. The helmet’s real-time voice navigation is much safer than checking the location on your phone while riding.

Although I have no doubt that it feels smooth when using LaiA to ride, the app itself still provides a wealth of answers to questions, so there is no need to worry about using it.

Smart Life is an exclusive App for Huawei home appliances. Nowadays, the product categories connected to it are also very complete, with high integration and good compatibility. The process of connecting and binding the BH51M Neo smart helmet will also be smooth and fast.

The Smart Life App is equivalent to integrating the functions of the helmet and flash control in Lai Ah Cycling into the same interface, which can achieve complete function control and also has an additional power display. There isn't much to set up, and it's generally used sparingly, so it doesn't matter.

The original intention of choosing this helmet was to give it as a gift to my niece who is about to enter junior high school, so it is naturally suitable for use.

After playing with it for a while, I found that it is quite useful for my mother, an elderly person.

She usually rides an electric bike, but one time she was startled by a car coming from behind and rolled over, crushing her foot. Another time, she made a sharp turn on a remote mountain road and rolled over, crushing her foot. I can't always be with her, and I can't restrict her from riding a bicycle (after all, it sometimes brings convenience to her parents). What I'm more worried about is that she is in a dangerous situation in a remote area and cannot call for help or can't tell where she is. At this time, the SOS emergency mode of the Helmetphone BH51M Neo smart helmet is very useful, making it convenient for me or someone to help her.

Of course, no one wants something bad to happen to their family members. Instead of fearing that the crow’s mouth will turn out to be a prophecy, it is better to prepare in advance and take precautions before it happens. As a matter of fact, this helmet is currently crowdfunding on Huawei Mall, so the price will be more advantageous:

After passing this village, I am afraid the price will increase...
