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.
CAPSULE COLLECTION
The concept will be available with our SPRING/SUMMER 2023 collection in summer 2022. A CAPSULE COLLECTION will combine EVOC DNA with breakthrough protection technology. Complemented by favorites from the TRAVEL COLLECTION and accessories for the way through the urban jungle.
