What if you had a convenient, comfortable helmet that didn’t make you feel like a dork while wearing it?
The Newton-Rider N1 folds to fit conveniently in your bag and is designed to protect your head against multiple impacts, not just one. That reduces waste and saves you money.
The helmet’s protection comes from a series of panels, connected to each other with stretchy, durable fabric. Each panel consists of three layers of protection: a hard polycarbonate shell, a shock-absorbing elastic polyurethane foam, and an interior core made up of what Newton-Rider terms “supermolecules,” created from a proprietary non-Newtonian thermoplastic elastomer.
According to Newton-Rider, its supermolecule demonstrates a shear-thinning effect: When there’s an impact, the bonds between the supermolecules break, dissipating the force of that impact into heat energy. Just the way that ketchup congeals again if you let it sit, the non-Newtonian molecules then reassemble back into their original configuration after the impact.
The most important aspect of a helmet is, does it work? Surprisingly, I was unwilling to get hit by a car to test its protective capabilities. But Newton-Rider notes that it's undergoing the safety certification process in both Europe and the US, and it expects the N1 to be available in the US later in 2022.I wear a helmet every time I ride my bike, and it was easy enough to wear the N1 tester. But I definitely do not wear helmets as often as I should when I'm on other kinds of wheels.
The N1 is also not as breathable as a conventional bike helmet with holes. “It’s not a race helmet,” says Frederik Jensen, Newton-Rider's head of strategy. “When you arrive on an ebike, you don’t get all sweaty.”
