Usage & Everyday Operation

Usage & Everyday Operation

Is the airbag delivered ready to use?

Yes. Each Helite airbag comes complete with a fitted cartridge and instructions for use. For mechanical versions, install and adjust the tether correctly before riding.

How do I attach the lanyard or saddle strap?

Secure the lanyard to a solid, fixed point on the saddle or bike frame. Adjust the length so that it triggers only in the event of a genuine fall.

What happens if I forget to unclip when dismounting?

The system requires around 20–30 kg of force to trigger. If you forget to detach, you will feel a strong pull before the system activates, allowing time to unclip.

Can I wear a backpack or clothing over the airbag?

Yes, as long as it does not restrict inflation. Avoid tightly fitted layers over the airbag zones.
