Motorcycle helmets are beneficial safety gear, but only in a “In case of emergency, break glass” sort of way, when things are already bad.

Brake Free is an ultra bright smart LED brake light that instantly improves a motorcycle’s visibility. It mounts on the back of the helmet you already own and its sensors works automatically to let others know whenever you slow down–braking, engine braking, or downshifting. No need for a wired installation or connected apps. Brake Free is simply a smarter way to be seen.

Brake Free utilizes accelerometer and gyroscope sensors to autonomously detect when you’re slowing down no matter how: braking, engine braking, or downshifting. When it does detect you braking, its LEDs glow brighter letting drivers around you know instantly. And there is no wired installation or connected apps with your phone for it to work.
