What is the biggest fear of motorcyclists during rainy weather? Poor visibility! But now, Bikerguard from Slovenia has decided to solve this problem for motorcycle riders with their special "mini wiper" design for helmets. Imagine, when it rains heavily, this small device on your helmet works like a car's windshield wiper, wiping away rain from your helmet and providing clarity to your view.
This wiper device is called "Bikerguard," and although it may seem unusual, it is actually quite clever. Motorcycle helmets typically have visors that can often get wet, causing poor visibility. Bikerguard has focused on addressing this need. Its small motor is hidden in the carbon-fiber shell and installed between the visor and the vent of a full-face helmet, so it does not interfere with the opening and closing of the visor. It also offers selectable modes, including manual or automatic wiping cycles at intervals of 1.5, 4, and 10 seconds, depending on the weather conditions.
In operation, the Bikerguard remote control device can be securely mounted on the motorcycle's handlebar, making it easy for the rider to control. It features a wireless design, so there’s no need for messy wiring. It also comes with a rechargeable battery that lasts between 5 to 15 hours, depending on the wiping frequency, and includes a three-year warranty along with replacement wiper blades. The device has an IPX-6 waterproof rating, so you don’t have to worry about heavy rain or wind while riding.
Currently, the Bikerguard is priced at $430 USD, but it is now available with a 20% discount, bringing the price down to $343 USD. For riders who frequently experience bad weather, this mini wiper might not only help eliminate the concern of blurred vision but also provide a significant boost in safety while riding.
