Individual project, master in design, AHO
A bike helmet and helmet-lock designed to fit the OBOS city bike design, increase use of helmets on city bikes and be bold and recognisable. The helmet was designed during covid-19, with focus on hygiene and based on interviews with city-bike users that I conducted by standing by a rack of city-bikes and asking users for a short interview.
Placed on the front of the bike, the helmet is visible and easily available. ClickLock secures the helmet to the bike using the clasp from the helmet. Once the lock is opened through the Bysykkel-app, the clasp pops open.
The helmet on the bike is a physical prototype in polystyrene, 3D printed nylon, and miscellaneous hardware. The rest of the pictures are renders made in KeyShot 9.
The app gives you a financial incentive to use the helmet.
