What's New in UNIT 1

3.9.0

October 15, 2026

Hey riders! Version 3.9.0 is here, and it's a big one. Here's what's new: - Your data, your call. You now choose whether to share anonymous usage data through the Improvement Program, and we collect less than before. You can change your mind anytime in Settings. - Smoother Home and Customize. The helmet on your Home screen is now the same one you see in Customize, so everything feels more connected. - Turn signals and brake lights, live. Customizing them now shows your helmet, your Nav Remote and your SmartLight bar in action before you save. - Charge reminders. Get a heads-up when your devices hit 20% and again when they're fully charged. - Notification controls. You can now switch off push notifications from Settings. Crash Alert stays on, because safety comes first. - Easier updates. Settings now shows your app version and lets you know when there's a newer one waiting. - Cleaner account deletion. If you decide to leave, we now wipe your data from your phone and from our servers. Plus a bunch of fixes, and improvements to stability and performance across the app. Thanks for riding with us. Questions or ideas? We're always listening.

Smart lights

Just got these and wanted to install them today. Universal mounting kit does not come with a saddle mount.
Smart lights have been on the charger all day in their case and are still not charged. Software update is impossible. For the money I spent on this junk, I regret it. I’m sending the smart lights back for a refund. Absolutely ridiculous and frustrating!!!

Our Support team will be ready to assist, troubleshoot these issues with you, and make sure everything is working as expected.

Totally useless

Paid $259USD for a smart helmet to get crash alert system. App is awful. Will not allow me to set up crash alert. Enter information but it will not let me save it. Have turned helmet and app off. Turned off phone. Deleted app and downloaded again. Hour later and still cannot set crash alert up. Do not waste your time and money on this helmet.

Words cannot describe how terrible this app is

I could literally one shot an AI prompt, and Claude code and make a better app than this. The controls don’t work. The organization is just backwards and you can’t just set the light settings. There’s all these modes and they and the settings don’t save after you save them. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get my rear light to blink red

Great Hardware; V3 Finally Works!

I got my Faro with the original kickstarter and now have a new one after the first suffered a crash—and the emergency contact feature worked as intended. The latest v3 of the app was broken for me on all my iOS devices, but the 9 June ‘26 update has fixed all the off-screen UI elements that kept me and others from saving changes to helmet settings. Yay!!
