Hello I’m Aaron and Charlie Brown is my chocolate brown cocker spaniel and together with my wife Deirdre we love camping in our 2006 HYMER 655 or our 1989 VW T3 motorhomes.
We want you to join us as we go around Ireland reviewing campsites and stop overs letting you know the good and bad places available to camp.

Let’s talk safety you now have your electric bike you now have your electric scooter this is brilliant so first off I’ve had this on it has built-in speakers it’s Bluetooth with your phone it has GPS navigation that if there’s an accident they will come and find you you
Do need to download an and I’ll show you that on the phone in a second Ed tell me about this helmet right well all I can say is with you having a look at it that pretty much sold itself to you it’s for you were saying1 179
€179 yeah correct F fantastic I couldn’t get over for example right let’s turn around and show the like I mean so this is the LOL BH 51 Neo top of the range top of the range it’s called a smart helmet and a smart rail helmet you can
See for your yourself what the features all are right it weighs nothing it’s hard to believe it is that that can save your life yeah compared to like my helmet for stock car racing bike helmet wow so first of all wow on the weight yes lightweight you don’t even feel it
On your head it’s like wearing a cap seriously you won’t even notice it so yeah so this is the top of the range LOL BH 51 right so the nice thing with this is it comes with a key fob like you were saying there you’ll download the writing
App it will ask you for all the details It’ll ask you for emergency contact if you have a heart rate monitor Etc you obviously put that all on and save it you obviously need to pair the helmet and pair the as you would with any Bluetooth you would with any device get
Yourself that’s it so it comes with the QR code it comes with all the instructions all in the package that’s the box for the fob easy attachment as well it’s just an O-ring that kind of slots over around the handlebars and you clip it in so you actually don’t have to
Leave it on the bike you that’s it you just uncp it put it in your pocket if you think someone’s going to NAB it so very easy so we’ve powered it on let’s have a look there now so that’s powered on right now you’ve already downloaded everything you’ve got everything set up
On your phone and we’re good paired to this unit which will be on the hand of the bike so now now we’re good to go right We Cycling along and we want to indicate we’re going to go to the left and we’re indicating left it’s also
Bleeping in your ear so for some reason if it stays on you’re saying it does max out but if it stays on you’ll hear it you know it’s on now the nice thing with that as well is you can actually set the ambient lighting so you can actually
Have it to flow or Flash it’s on Flow at the moment it’s on Flow at the moment like most expensive cars that’s it it’s like an Audi on wheels or a BMW on Wheels so yeah it’s I think it’s very cool and it’s it’s noticeable and being
High up on your head as well people are going to see it but not only that yeah so we’ll indicate left again and it’ll indicate in the front and there’s also a a front let’s call it a driving L like a driving light yeah so it picks up on motion so it’s
Got motion built into it it’s got GPS built into it it’s got an SOS emergency built into it it’s got Bluetooth speakers built into it that is my most popular sell for people especially buying Scooters or ebikes for their kids knowing they have control and they can f
Especially if they downloaded as an emergency contact like a to Nob brainer spending €179 man it’s brilliant so this little Gadget you you turn right you turn left yes um but it has a brake light it does to demonstrate the brake light I’m going to have to model so let me change
Cameras fit the helmet on this is amazing right so before you try this on we’ll just show your viewers there as well so that is the speakers bolt in over there you can clearly see them and it when my phone rings it’s Bluetooth like normally your car microphone bolt
Into it so obviously it will pick up your voice and obviously you can listen to podcast Spotify you can listen to your own podcast if you like now the nice thing it’s adjustable so once it’s on your head you can actually adjust it here to make it fit a bit snugger I need
Big head mode okay big head big brains yes there we go so yeah so try that on and then we’ll show everybody how that works so you can open it up how tight should it be now that you don’t want the blood stopping tight that’s it it’s not
Going to push on your head that you’re starting to get migraines yeah that’s too loose is this yes is this little bit I would give it another one or two clicks more oh okay it’s got to be snug but not squee you I’m not going to adjust this now you can
Adjust then again with the strap here you want to at least get a finger or two in so it’s not strangling you but it’s obious you that’s nice yeah that’s it probably a bit tighter Okay cool so so now let’s have a look there simulating
The bike we want right inside so this is on the crossbar of my bike yeah so I can hear that beep so I’m hearing that through those little speakers if show me yes and the nice thing with that is it’s not like you get people that are cycling along and they
Got big headphones on and they blocking the ears listen to a podcast and you’re ringing your bell you you can’t hear them this is ear are free it’s above the ear so you can still hear your man behind you honking his horn you in the
Middle of the road you know to get out the road so it’s not a danger this is I’m going to have to watch back on this video to see this bit so let me turn the camera I’m going to walk down there yes and I’m going to stop and you’re going
To tell me that the brake light is going to C I’ll done the lights as well I’m going to leave the remote control here so turn that camera around there and I’m going to walk down here and you’re going to tell me to just stop correct and you say that the brake light
Is going to come on yes okay you ready let’s go stop no you need to go a bit faster I’d say you got to simulate back up to me I might have just switched off one second there right let’s go put faster and break now it’s not doing it AR you need
To pick up the PA stop we broke it there we go yeah just bring it back to the Jimmy Qui clear just not great conditions to show the brake light but it does work I’ll do my best to zoom in on the piece of video but finally to
Wrap up it obviously needs power correct so initially first charge about 10 hours so overnight and overnight charge y that should get you about 10 hours of riding time as well okay so charging very G very simple right so it comes with this cable so it’s a normal USB so you can
Plug it into your phone charger normal phone charger okay okay it doesn’t come with this it doesn’t come with this okay so everybody has cell phones that’s it so plug it into cell phone charger that has a magnetic strip right so if you can see there there go again Sor no keep
Going take it from the magnetic strip all right so magnetic strip so if you see there okay that Clips in right so all you’re doing is you’re going to peel back that over there like that going to zoom in there yes so if you go that way
You see it’s not clipping okay so it’ll only go on one way one way so if you’re charging it and uh Charlie and me the dog runs he’s after kicking that okay you’re not breaking you’re not putting the helmet with you because it’s plugged
In with a tight USB so just like that so if anyone even of yourself if you have that on the camper floor you’re going to the back and you accidentally kick that and that’s it and you’re not going to damage the does it change color when it’s charged it does that will flash
Correct okay wow so I mean yeah very simple but yet very effective so she has Bluetooth y indicators brake lights trust me front lights front indicators bluetoo speakers so I can answer my phone which we had done Ed rang me earlier on and it was brilliant so you
Can listen to your Spotify or whatever you usually do to your booth and then it has a GPS God forbid in the case of emergency but you fill the details in on the phone correct and then so example for example der will get a call to say there’s a problem she will get
Notification to the GPS GPS she will do nothing about it she’ll let you know there will she she will not she’ll contact emergency and worth more dead the nice thing is is it’s got GPS tracking so with that is that will send to the records all she
Does copy paste into Google Maps and that’s where you are now there’s other options on the app which don’t bother me that there’s a community that we can join of people who have feed of people around the world and you can see them cycling not physically see them but you
Can see on the map where they are correct read the instructions that I would not be into I have to be honest but for €179 worth every cent worth every penny ordinary helmets what prices they start from this brand do ordinary helmets as well that’s it so we have a C20 I’ll
Just grab one there quickly just to show you this is fantastic seriously guys so so this is just a helmet that’s just the basic C20 helmet right what’s the story here you can also charge that same magnetic charger you can power that on probably that is a Dao might not be
They normally last quite long yeah it is so that as well so this will just be fleshing L it’s just a light okay still a safety thing no speakers no nothing else and charges the same way same way yeah magnetic price from €79 you’ll pay
That for a helmet easy all day long same adjustable everything but the speakers the GPS has the safety it’s the helmet without the smart I need a smart brilliant here we go available from Cruz and Douglas we’ve teamed up with the guys for season 7 we’re going
