Shred the gnar while listening to your favorite tunes with Domio Helmet Audio

Traditional helmet sound systems require cumbersome wires or inserts, leaving you less aware of your surroundings. Portable carry speakers can be loud and distracting to people around you — and you don’t really want to end up being “that guy” on the slopes. But listening to music while performing your favorite activity can be inspiring and enriching. This is why Elevety Sports introduced the Domio Helmet Audio Device, which effectively transforms your helmet into a sound system. This smart wearable was created for skiers, snowboarders, cyclists, and BMXers — for anyone who wears a helmet outdoors.

The device is easily mounted to any helmet, on the side or the top, and comes with an extra support strap for added security. Top mounting is suggested for a balanced, medium bass sound while side mounting is recommended if you want a more asymmetrical, higher bass sound.

The system is powered by vibro-audio technology, which utilizes micro-vibrations and transforms the inside of your helmet into your own personal sound system. As opposed to transmitting sound through air, as a traditional speaker does, vibro-audio technology takes micro vibration pulses and transmits them through a solid, i.e. your helmet. This results in audio that only you can hear while allowing you to remain alert to your exterior surroundings. The combination contributes to added immersion of sound in addition to safety.

The battery is designed to last an entire day, so you never have to worry about losing a charge even in extremely cold conditions. Domio is completely environment proof, designed to withstand ice, snow, and rain. It is also shockproof so you don’t have to worry about damage in the event of a wipeout or crash.

The Domio Helmet Audio Device is operated using three different buttons and includes a Micro USB port for charging and an LED battery light indicator. The three button interface allows you to control your music by playing, pausing or stopping, change the volume, and also answer or make calls. Tipping the scales at just 2 ounces, you’ll hardly notice it’s there.

The Domio Helmet Audio Device retails for $130 on the company’s website.

Aventon Abound SR combines thoughtful design, enhanced security, and smart connectivity

Electric bikes are nothing new at this point, and while there are many styles, few purportedly do-it-all, and even fewer actually offer smart or more advanced features. They tend to do one thing particularly well, like cruising, carrying cargo, or sightseeing -- like city riding -- but the biggest way they push the envelope is by offering that long-range electric power. The Aventon Abound SR, a new do-it-all bike, goes far and beyond anything that's come before it.

For starters, it's the first bike equipped with Aventon's electronic control unit (ACU) which empowers intelligent safety features. That gives you 4G and GPS tracking built-in, plus remote locking, an alarm system, and much more. But also, this top-of-its-class bike is incredibly versatile and is suitable for everything from commutes to tough exercise rides and daily routines. It features a top speed of 20 miles per hour, has a range of up to 60 miles per charge, and can carry a payload of up to 440 pounds. Impressive, indeed. Let's take a closer look and get a little more friendly with it, shall we?

Velotric: One of our favorite e-bike brands is having a huge sale right now

Take a minute to browse through the e-bike category, and you'll see lots of options but not many that I would classify as accessible. As far as technology goes, they can be pretty expensive, especially compared to your everyday traditional pedal bike. So, it makes sense that most people would wait until the holiday season, including Black Friday and Cyber Monday, to get a great deal on a new bike. Prices are at their lowest ever, and it's a great time to save some money. But guess what? You don't have to wait until later in November to save big because Velotric, a premium-quality e-bike maker, is hosting a huge sale right now. You can head over now to take a look, otherwise, we're going to explore some of those Velotric e-bike deals that are available.

What are these "Lower-Than-Black-Friday" Velotric e-bike deals?

Velotric is claiming these deals are "better" than Black Friday, so they better be good, right? Don't worry, they are. For example, you can grab the Velotric Go 1 Ebike for $400 off, while still getting it in a bundle that includes two free gears. That price is currently $1,299, normally $1,700. The Go 1 features a 500-watt motor, supports a maximum load of 440 pounds, and can travel up to 55 miles on a single charge. Pretty impressive. It's also designed to lug cargo, like a picnic basket, day bag, or even camping gear. That's mostly thanks to a lower center of gravity for the frame and hydraulic suspension system.
