COMMUTING
Mobility, especially in urban areas, is changing rapidly. Congestion of motor vehicle infrastructure in cities, growing environmental awareness and a mega trend towards a healthier lifestyle are facilitators of this change.
Poor bicycle infrastructure fuels fear of accidents and the resulting injuries which is what constitutes one of the main inhibitors of bicycle traffic. This is what sparked EVOC to make bike commuting safer and more comfortable with the products of the COMMUTING line from 2023.
From zero to safe in 0.2 seconds
The magnetic buckle on the chest strap is responsible for activating and deactivating the airbag. The sensory unit, which is USB-chargeable, is equipped with six sensors enabling it to analyze the position of the backpack, i.e. the rider up to 1,100 times per second.
Once the deployment criteria are met, the airbag inflates within just 0.2 seconds, hereby unfolding its full protective effects for the cervical spine, shoulders, collar bones and chest. The mechanical deployment is implemented via the activation of an e-igniter. After the airbag has been deployed and checked for damage, the system can simply be reused with a new cartridge.
DESIGN & INNOVATION AWARD 2022
"If you fall, the airbag inflates in a flash. In addition, the backpack has all the features needed for work and leisure: sensible organisation, a laptop sleeve and a compartment for a bottle. Even the topic of sustainability hasn’t been ignored. The bag is made from recycled polyester and the airbag is reusable, requiring only a new inflation cartridge – great!
Thanks to the hip belt and ergonomic carrying system, the backpack sits well on the back. All this makes it a stylish companion for cyclists in the urban jungle, offering an enormous boost to safety and encouraging more people to dare to ride their bikes in the city."
