CRAZY Braking HELMET MOD TESTED!! | Brakefree unboxing / review

[@dansalas399]

I have been using this for a year now and wouldn’t ride without it! I have the mount installed on 3 of my helmets. Love it and it absolutely makes you more visible to drivers!

[@StevenYoungcaptual]

I just got the Brake Free. Mounted on a Shoei Neotec. Why not be seen better for safety. A police officer pulled up next to me and pointed to his head and gave me the thumbs up and OK sign. At night I think it about doubles my rear visibility to cars behind me......if it just might save me once....why not. Made well and works perfect. I like it!

[@oscaracosta6976]

I seen a guy yesterday on the freeway with one of these and when that light flashed I told my wife I need to get that as soon as we get home! What a brilliant idea! Bravo....

[@kaiul2967]

I just ordered one. I've had people pull up to me and say they couldn't even see me due to my tailight being in their blindspot or being covered by another vehicle. After hearing that I got super paranoid about being struck by cars that were looking to lane change, especially at night. And yes engine braking is a huge deal on a motorcycle. I usually tap my rear brake to give people a heads up but hey sometimes you forget. Also when I'm not riding and In a car and see other motorcyclists I usually focus on their helmet or body, which proves how well this will catch people's attention.

[@M_Bosh]

[@darknessawaits]

Free: lightly tap your rear brake (not actually braking) during engine braking. This communicates your deceleration to your fellow road users.

[@specialcircs]

Yep, maybe better than spending $169.99 on this!

[@chaseontwowheels]

Totally understandable and this is something I do when riding with a group of other bikes. That technique isn't going to help you if you are coming to an emergency stop and it's also not going to solve the problem of moving your brake light into the eye line of drivers behind you. Just more situations to think about this product working for.

[@soloking2141]

chaseontwowheels but chase...who emergency brakes using engine breaking? I don’t see that point at all lol use the breaks.

[@mightybeanstick9872]

One thing to consider about this - most bikes have a single rear light which, in most countries, is always on. When you brake (with the brakes :) ), what you are doing is changing the brightness of a light that was already on. Depending on circumstances, this change of brightness might be missed by another driver. This is one reason why cars and other vehicles now have auxiliary brake lights, usually in the rear window etc. which ONLY illuminate when braking AND they are higher up so can be seen further back. That said, this item does seem rather pricey for what it is, and seems rather bulkier than it needs to be...? I do like the mount system. If you often carry a pillion, they could have another bracket on their helmet, and just switch the light over...

I got one a few months ago and it was the best money I have spent on bike gear in a long time. So many riders ask about it and I love explaining it to them. I wanted to add, I have not been compensated anything for my comments/reviews/etc about this product. I am just an old techie who likes the product.

[@BoopSnoot]

how much?

[@BrakeFree]

Hey, thanks for that Jon! So happy to hear you're loving your Brake Free. How's it holding up a year later?

[@AriaNabipur]

I just started riding and am very safety minded. I just got a brake free. Thanks for the great review. I don't feel that it is obnoxious during the day, and during the night, I will likely put it on the low brightness mode. I use engine braking a lot on the freeways, and I don't mind the extra tech bulky look on my helmet. 😊

[@stylin60es]

Same here. A little bulky but worth it for me! Ride safe man !

[@blairarthur302]

Great idea,every time I engine brake my eyes are always watching my mirrors.Too many close calls

The most common, is still for a car to turn left, right into the bike traveling through an intersection.

[@douglasradowick508]

Hey chief, I have heard about the Brake free helmet module, and, found your demo of it on video form. You've done a great job demonstrating it's functions! I'm about to start riding a motorcycle-I am 57 now and just getting into riding-all the visibility I can make of myself to be able to ride safely-is worth getting the Brake Free helmet light-$170! Worth it no questiions asked, keep up the video presentation of relevant products for riders🤓👍🏍️ Doug

[@jozzy2020]

I look at it this way, anything that can improve you being visible to other vehicle operators is better within my first few months riding I was almost run off the road several times because people were not paying attention. One was in front of a police officer who did nothing. I went ahead and purchased one and thank you for bringing this item up!

[@nestortorres5458]

Thanks for the effort to put this video together. After observing the steps your put the device through during a very bright day, I am convinced that its worth purchasing one of these. It's design beats having to modify a motorcycle to have a similar system installed. I also like the idea of migrating the device to different helmets if needed and design permitting. Glad you included in the video the challenge with the first helmet's air spoiler which much be considered when buying another helmet. Awesome!!!

[@DrGuzzi]

Watching your review, first watching the brakefree installation video. I noticed you didn't install as recommended, but the rest of your video was spot on. Thanks. I'm buying one...it seems to add a degree of safety that is unmatched with current technology.

Very cool video dude. I ordered mine, it arrived yesterday. I think it's a fantastic product. Now I don't have to figure IF it works. You just proved that it DOES works wonderfully.

[@jlock9085]

So cool story about this. A few years ago I bought my first bike from a guy in upstate NY. When I came to pick up the bike he showed me this prototype he developed that was essentially an early model of this braking device. I wonder if this product is made from that same guy. It would be very cool if it was.

[@alexarkhangelskiy6302]

This was probably the guy building InView. His setup uses a module you have to install on every bike you want to use it with. We started the product out in California. (I'm one of the cofounders of Brake Free)

[@atypicalscholar109]

This looked really cool, but I'd be afraid it wouldn't fit on my helmet... Also, I feel like a product that's in the $150-$200 price range, it should have USB-c for fast charging so it isn't a worry about running out of charge. Hopefully they come out with a V2 that is less bulky.

Two things I’ve learned from aviation is that you can’t put a price on safety and redundancy is key. 169.99 isn’t even that much considering how much you should spend on gear and if the strobe light is legal in your state then there’s really no reason to not get it. Honestly if you don’t have enough money for nice gear then you don’t have enough money for a bike in general.

[@maximilliancunningham6091]

Riding and flying have a lot in common, situational awareness and such,,

[@amerigo88]

@@maximilliancunningham6091 As a new rider and military history fan, modern motorcycles remind me most closely of WW1 aircraft. The horsepower, top/cruising speeds, minimal controls, minimal gauges, the need to remain above a stall speed, and seating for one or two people are all similar. The back-to-basics stick-and-throttle style of flying should be similar, but I'm not an aviator.

[@SoDakTwisties]

You know, I don't consciously tap the brake lever as much as I should when engine braking. For under $200, and the fact that I only need a small plastic mount to move it to another helmet...That's actually pretty tempting. Good video. I think you've at least sold me on the functionality, and it seemed consistent as well. I am actually gonna have to give this product some consideration, now.

[@sgt.v7237]

Thanks!

[@GIZZMOTORSPORTS]

in regular traffic I always tap the front brake 3 times before applying, If I were engine braking I'd do the same. Whenever I ride with new people they ask if I have a brake light controller,. No, it's just something I've done since I started riding 30 years ago. Damn I'm old.

[@daveco1270]

I have an old 64 Triumph with a 6v electrical system. The brake light doesn’t get super bright when brakes are applied, which makes me nervous. This unit would solve the problem. I’m gonna pick one up. I like that it comes off the helmet easily and it’s a small piece left behind.

Have you tried the COSMO MOTO intelligent rechargeable brake light. Attaches to your helmet using a magnet, smart phone app allows you to change the 3 modes and obtain battery strength. Recharges within 3 hours and the charge last approximately 8hrs. Comes in gloss white, gloss black and matt black as do the magnets to blend into your chosen helmet. Increase your street presence when engine breaking or using the brakes on your bike.

[@BrakeFree]

We have! Brake Free offers much more visibility with its larger visual footprint and brighter LEDs. We are more accurate at brake detection due to the fact we use a combination of sensors instead of just the accelerometer and our proprietary algorithm helps limit false activations.

When I engine brake I usually apply the front brake just enough to trigger the brake light

[@motomarmot6544]

Exactly

[@mydude4719]

It would be nice if, when the unit experiences a sudden "abrupt" stop, it should continue to flash until the battery dies. A friend of mine had a wreck, went off the road into thick brush and wasn't found for hours. Witnesses said they stopped to look and didnt see anyone so they left the scene.

[@acmusic5628]

so great in theory, but a issue i see there being is when you crash you dont go from X speed to 0 instantly. would be kinda difficult to figure out how abrupt would constitute a accident/crash and not just hard stop. Great idea tho.

I'm all about safety, and I can't get enough lights, bright clothes, and helmets. Reason: I see people who see me, and they hit that brake a second time to wait until I've gone past them.

Hiya buddy - enjoyed the video and your presentation method. Just a quick note on the battery situation. According to a guy from Brake Free (on Jimmy Chang's video) the battery used in the helmet module is an 18650 battery. So they are readily available and can be charged on a standard desktop battery charger. So you could fit one and carry a spare or 2 (in a protective case of course to avoid a nasty accident in your pocket etc. lol). I'd love to have one for my son but, at this moment in time the price of the unit + shipping charge to the UK means we'll have to wait :) Enjoy your new toy and stay safe - keep the shiny side up!!

OC - Oh hell yeah! I was actually waiting for a smaller version from a different brand - but this will work. Slowing down, engine braking, and typically brake lights are ‘aerodynamically” streamlined … that is, sᴍᴀʟʟ. Definitely interested.

Oh that’s awesome but there is another one called Inview wireless hand brake it uses batteries is it’s on downfall but it does turn signals, hazard lights and braking all wirless and it attaches with just 3M good Velcro .

[@masterdoody1]

Have you seen the motogadget m unit blue? It has a set up in it that turns your brakes on when you decelerate regardless of wether you use the brakes or not. It also has an emergency braking function on it where by if you decelerate faster than 8m/s it turns on your brake light and hazards automatically!!!! would be awesome to see a video of how to install that on bike as I really want one!!!!

[@crupert23225]

I ordered one of these last week and am excited to start using it once it arrives. FYI, there are some discount codes out there that can lower the price a little if you look around. I ended up getting mine for $159. Wish I had seen this video before I used the one I found! When you were riding, your unit seemed to blink constantly no matter what mode was on. I don't care for that aspect. and ONLY want mine to turn on when I'm slowing down. Otherwise I think it becomes a distraction for those behind me. It does seem to work very well when you are slowing down, whether engine braking or actually braking. I intend to use Sugru adhesive rather than the supplied adhesive, as I just don't trust those tape adhesives. As to the weight, I use a GoPro on my chin bar which weighs my helmet down in front, so I'm hoping this will offset that and ease some leverage on my neck muscles. Appreciate the review!🏍🏍🏍😎

[@BrakeFree]

Hope you're loving your Brake Free. To answer the question about flickering, it's just how Brake Free sometimes shows up when using an action cam to record. The LEDs are turning on and off many times per second to save power. A lot of lights do this. It's turning on and off at such a high rate that a human eye does not register it at all and it looks like the lights are constantly on. The only time you will see it is when you record on an action camera during the day at a frame rate that's lower than 60FPS. Hope that answered it. Sugru is a good option to use. All for it. Although, we do use some good quality 3M adhesive similar to what GoPro mounts use.

[@msherman6932]

Chase on Two Wheels thanks for a nice KZbin video of the Brake Free product that I beta tested for the company back in December/January 2019/2020. I wrote up a review earlier on my blog, and I continue to stand by everything I said there. REVIEW: BRAKE FREE MOTORCYCLE TAIL AND BRAKE LIGHT The product has worked flawlessly for about 10,000 miles on my helmets (I have two of the products one on each of my helmets). I paid for the units through the Indegogo campaign, and I did not receive compensation as a beta tester. I did provide the company with daily ride reviews, including weather, temperature, riding conditions, length of ride, and other information. I chose to be a beta tester because I ride a lot of miles in all conditions other than subfreezing weather with snow and ice here in Portland, Oregon, the land of violent riots! Modes: 1. Stealth - the lights are minimized, but the brake light lights on deceleration or braking. 2. Flashing - the lights flash in low power mode until you brake or decelerate, then it lights in the very bright braking mode. 3. Normal - the lights are constantly on until you brake or decelerate, and then the brake lights light in very bright braking mode. Again, after about 10,000 miles, the units continue to work flawlessly. Brightness The braking mode is very bright even in daylight, but at night they are impossible to miss. Auto Drivers Responses I get comments on the unit most times I ride, and I ride daily for about 2+ hours, perhaps an hour and a half in the winter for a total of about 20,000 miles per year. I have noticed that auto drivers' behavior is different now that I use the Brake Free on every ride. Drivers stay a bit further back and tend to notice I am slowing even when I am not braking. If you've read the blog you know I've been hit by autos in the past, the last time about two months (October) before I got the Brake Free beta test unit on the freeway in Ukiah, CA. I consider the Brake Free the best single free-standing safety mod available since it is completely portable and can be shifted from helmet to helmet, and it can be used on any ride whether you are riding your bike, test riding a bike, or riding a friends bike. The unit goes with you, and if you have additional helmet mounts, you can apply them to nearly any helmet you might need to wear. None of this can be said for units that install on the bike to make the brake lights flash. Another nice feature is the Brake Free places the brake light at the helmet level and makes it far more visible than it is at the tail of the bike. All without wires or attachments to the bike itself. Accelerometer The Brake Free units work via an onboard accelerometer that senses when you are accelerating or slowing, the brake lights are triggered when the unit senses you are slowing whether you are applying the brakes or not. This makes the unit drop-dead simple, and it always lights the brakes when you slow. Even if your brake light is burned out, the unit will continue to function as it should. Length of Charge I've ridden up to 9+ hours at a time, and the units continued to work in flashing mode. Flashing mode is the only mode I use. The estimate of 10-12 hours of battery-run time is accurate in my experience. I set up my helmet stand with two USB charging ports/cables, and I keep both helmets charged. I've never had a problem with charging or battery-run times. Since I ride about 20,000 miles per year, I used to feel like I was wearing a target. The problem is too many drivers do not pay sufficient attention to their surroundings while driving. As I said earlier, driver response to my use of the Brake Free units has been very positive with drivers giving me more rear cushion and noticing that I am slowing or braking. Since using the Brake Free units, I have not been rear-ended or had to dodge a near-miss rear-end collision, that used to be a much more consistent problem. I also get many comments from drivers that the unit makes it much easier to see me from the rear. The feedback has been uniformly positive. Personal Recommendation Buy one. The unit is well built, durable, weatherproof enough for a rider in Portland, Oregon, who rides 20,000 miles per year, and it significantly and positively changed the behavior of car drivers following me. The units are available for sale from Brake Free here: Smart Brake Light, Brake Free I advise buying the unit and the spare mounts, that way if you need to swap helmets or want your pillion to wear the Brake Free unit (the front rider should not wear the unit!) you can mount the Brake free quickly and easily.

@@jerryb4705 what’s the point of keeping it. You know it’s DOT RATED

@@304derrick ...Some police officers will ask to see it...I never had any issues but my friend got pulled over by a state trooper who gave him a hard time about not having a Dot sticker..

[@304derrick]

@@jerryb4705 holy shit, didn’t even know that was a thing. Where was this ? Cause I’m like, you really waisted time to figure out if a dudes protective gear was adequate? Seems like some petty shit to me. Idk I’m new to bikes so im not really sure what kinda things go on within the biker community. Is it a fucking thing ?

[@rizzay1]

How does this compare to the cheaper one that has led turn signals?…. This only breaks cost 170 compared to 49 which hooks up to your signals and brakes as well

[@kylekyle8131]

Wouldve Love to get one but they only ship to US and Canada.

[@monkeyman41333]

If you know how to ship to Canada let me know. Because I live in Canada, and tried to order and was told they don't ship to Canada. Losing a lot of sales not shipping to other countries.

[@specialcircs]

That first question - yes, absolutely, all the time!!!! :-)

[@DCH_30]

Where can I get your backpack? Dont see it in the gear link in the description. Thanks.

[@aleanarobins2651]

Thank you for this video. I have been looking for a product like this. Would love to know what you think of it 2 years on.

[@betjoh]

I like the stealth mode or you called it minimal mode.

[@ouncesmusic]

A few of those shots from the 360 cam look so crazy, like a real life GTA 3rd person view

[@santiagotruillo8673]

This is pretty sweet. I tend to at least tap my rear break when engine breaking. Since I have a modular flashing break light I hope it at least helps some

[@dugthefreshest]

What is this third person camera setup, and can it be used for live streaming?

[@harcormor]

yeah i'm not spending money on something like this...great idea, but the issue of no lights for engine breaking is fixed if you apply enough pressure to one of your brakes to turn them on.

[@BrakeFree]

The brake function is one of many advantages of riding with one. This is a piece of active high visibility that keeps you visible day and night. It also brings the light to eye level and helps with depth perception for drivers behind you.

[@harcormor]

Brake Free well I’m still not paying money on something like this. Again I have my own personal braking function for free. And I got news for you...if the cagers aren’t paying attention then it’s not gonna matter...if they looking at their phone or putting on makeup...you can put anything you want in front of them and they aren’t going to notice it...Riding is a risk and that’s something we as riders have to accept and just use defensive driving to keep ourselves safe...that’s the bottom line.

[@weeleedood]

IT’S SO CRAZY TO KNOW I TOOK A PICTURE WITH YOU THE DAY YOU RECORDED THIS (at least some of it) VIDEO THAT’S AWESOME💯💯💯💯💯 GREAT VIDEO COOL PRODUCT THANKS MAN KEEP DOING YOU🙏🏻🤙🏻💯

[@jperez5426]

Hi Chase whe charging the brake light when it is fully charge is it 3 quick blinks. Or just 3 normal blinks im charging mine right now.

[@jperez5426]

Meant to say while charging.

[@Kiwi-ot3wz]

Packaging should have included a template ?

[@one-of-us9939]

My Tesla has a very strong engine braking ability. The brake lights on my car come on when I take pressure off the accelerator pedal... While on the public streets I think that might have benefits on my motorcycle.

[@coreyyancey8305]

Great review. Thanks! 360 cam worked great. I will definitely be getting one soon! People will notice this for sure. The more lights the safer we will be for sure.

[@ts03227648]

We need a low-light review lol

[@purplemarker8146]

Great review! Just picked one up! I’m new to riding so in anyway way I can, I want to be seen and heard! So excited to try mine out! Thanks for sharing!

[@JanitorJay83]

Great concept. I’d like to see motorcycle manufacturers incorporate this technology into the actual brake lights. Or maybe have a wireless module that you could wire into the bike itself that turns on the helmet light when at zero throttle. I think that would be more reliable than an internal accelerometer.

[@OrdoGriseo]

Though using a TPS to trigger the light would cause it to light up in many superfluous instances, like every gear change when you come of the throttle to change gear

[@JanitorJay83]

Mokrite could program a delay. If throttle is at zero for x seconds, then activate. If a company really wanted to make a system like that, I’m sure with the technology we have now, it would be very doable.

[@michaelshelnutt1779]

Great Review - I saw this when it was in indigo and dang i liked it then and love it now - might just have to see if I can get this on my helmet

[@Phenn5589]

Good review. Just ordered one. Just seems like a no-brainer.

[@flyerbry]

In concept this thing is great but in execution it looks like it could use some refinement. I always ride my road bicycle with a flashing LED taillight so drivers see me much earlier and it works great but the size of the units made for bicycling are tiny in comparison to this. This could be a simple horizontal bar of lights and be just as effective. The second thing that comes to mind is why aren't motorcycle manufactures building this into the regular taillights. Electric cars are already doing this with one-pedal driving enabled where the driver doesn't touch the brake and uses regerative breaking to slow down. Any motorcycle with a 6-axis IMU already has the computing power built-in to make this happen.
