Helmet Review - Sena R1 Communications Helmet - Deep Dive Interview

Helmet Review - Sena R1 Communications Helmet - Deep Dive Interview
Recently Michael purchased two of these Sena R1 Helmets to help improve the communication between the two of us when we're filming these Electric Scooter and Ebike Reviews. This is a conversation between the two of us, unscripted (obviously) but sharing our honest opinions about the Sena R1 Helmet and how it's improved our filmmaking experience.

[@nilespartridge5704]

I currently have an R1 helmet and thinking of buying another so I can communicate with someone riding along with me. I was wondering if both riders can listen to the playlist of one rider's phone while riding and can also communicate while the 2 are riding and listening to the same songs from one of their phone's playlist? I currently ride solo and listen to my playlist via bluetooth, but have no experience with 2 helmets in communication with each other. Have you guys ever ridden while listening to music, or do you have to go only with intercom? Thanks.

[@TimsElectric]

Awesome @nilespartridge5704, we haven't tried that ...it might work....I'll see if I can try it out on our next trip :)

[@DellSnooze]

If they ever make a full face version I’ll buy it in a heartbeat

[@TimsElectric]

@Dell Snooze what do you use at present?

[@DellSnooze]

@@TimsElectric Currently some sort of fox racing mtb helmet. A friend lent me it and hasn’t asked for it back so until he does I’m always kind of on the lookout for my own. It’s served me well for the past 8 months or so.

[@TimsElectric]

@@DellSnooze lol, I need a friend like yours :) :) totally makes sense if you're a speed demon :)

[@DellSnooze]

@@TimsElectric lol yeah, my friend has been a mountain biker for several years and we both fairly recently bought a zero 10x to rip around on as an upgrade from my gotrax. Luckily he had a helmet for me to borrow for those speeds 😆

[@DellSnooze]

@@TimsElectric oh he told me he uses the tsg pass pro at the moment

[@vigscooters]

Super cool! I need to get one so I can join your mesh!

[@TimsElectric]

Join the MESH! :)

[@TonesAdventuresHD]

Sounds like a winner. I don't know about that mini usb though !

[@TimsElectric]

I'm with you on that Tone :)

[@AKCobra1120]

Looks cool, but my wife and I use the budget method (cell phone with earbud) :)

[@TimsElectric]

so you make a phone call and just stay on the line the whole trip? I bet that works great :) :)

[@AKCobra1120]

@@TimsElectric Exactly. Works great other than the ear bud tends to come out after a while and with a full face helmet I have to stop and take it off to adjust. Other than that works great.

[@TimsElectric]

awesome to hear that you're wearing full face helmets :) :)

[@AKCobra1120]

@@TimsElectric Weil I do, I have the full face helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, and gloves. I'm still trying to get my wife on board with the safety gear. She has a standard bicycle helmet and that's it.

[@TimsElectric]

show her Melissa's face and wrist following her accident riding the scooter at a slow speed...she's lucky she didn't knock out a tooth too :) trust me she's getting the works once the wrist has healed up :)

[@AnnMehrman]

Which model is this? The Sena R1 Evo has the rear lights. The Sena R1 doesn't have the rear lights.

[@TimsElectric]

Hi Ann, I don't recall but it doesn't have rear lights on the one I have :)

[@senatechnologies]

Correct. The R1 EVO has rear lights and the R1 does not.

[@greenrush4313]

Ours aarent that old and it now does not charge?

[@TimsElectric]

what did Sena say?

[@greenrush4313]

@@TimsElectric havent reached out yet

[@TimsElectric]

I would...sounds like the BMS is faulty or the battery got run down too low and can't charge up. I suspect they'll have good return/repair policy but can you let me know ?

[@emop9821]

Without usb-c, absolutely no go. Stopped buying old usb charging tech.

[@TimsElectric]

Good point @emop9821 :)
