One of the best safety items you can get for your motorcycle riding
Iโm an avid motorcyclist but am keenly aware of the dangers, especially drivers who โdidnโt see youโ. I wouldnโt ride without a helmet and now wonโt ride without the Brake Free Light. Itโs bright, clear and the motion detection system works perfectly. Trust me, this will cut your chance of getting rear ended dramatically

Every rider should have this!
Completely recommend this to any rider. I've had people walk up to me, when I'm inside a store shopping, and stop me just to say that they saw me on the road and that the light made it easier to see me. It's so worth it for the peace of mind that I'm more visible. I have the Sedici Strada 3 helmet and my husband has a modular Sedici helmet (forgot the model name). We have a brake free light on both. I was a little worried about it making my helmet heavier, but I can't even tell it's there.

Pricey but it gets the job done.
I've been riding for over 30 years. I always used to only be really concerned about deer and drunks, and I could sort of control for both: stay off the back country roads at dawn and dusk, don't be around the bars when the drunks are getting out. There was always the possibility of someone accidentally running a red light and things like that, but those two were pretty much my top two worries, especially here in western Michigan where deer are plentiful. Nowadays those have fallen to the number 2 and 3 spots and both are far, far away from the new number 1, and that is these careless idiots who cannot bring themselves to drive without staring at their stupid phone. They are so reckless, so distracted and so oblivious to the safety of those around them. Consequently, I now do everything I can to make myself more visible to everyone on the road but particularly to the cell phone people. I have just about every sort of bright LED brake and brake strobe light that you can add to a Harley Road Glide and tour-pack. This item is yet another stab at making me more visible and it fills the gap left by the lack of attention grabbing lights when I am decelerating without using my brakes (by downshifting or just rolling off the throttle for example). Two days after I received it I installed it on my helmet and went for a three day 1,300 mile ride with about 50 of my rider friends. I didn't tell anyone about it, I just put it on and rolled with it. I rode around with different guys from our group on our trip and at the stops the most common question was "what is that thing doing? It's not synced to your brake light. It sometimes comes on with your brake light and sometimes it doesn't. So what's it for?" The most common comment I got was "boy that thing is bright!" Even though I had to explain what it was doing, I consider that a win, because it grabbed their attention and made them notice me even if they didn't exactly know what was going on. It made me more visible and alerted them when I decelerated. Mission accomplished. As for ease of installation, it's very easy but you need to be patient and take your time. The 3M double sided tape fixed to the mounting bracket is not very forgiving. If you mount the bracket cockeyed there is no easy way of undoing it. I mounted the bracket to the light before removing the double sided tape backing and played around with where it would sit on my helmet. I have a modular LS and I wanted to make sure that the light would not interfere with my chin bar when it was raised. Once you figure out where it's going to go, the included template comes in handy. I picked out the perfect spot and scotch taped the template to my helmet so it wouldn't move around during installation. My particular helmet had a sort of bump-out right in the middle of where I wanted the light to go so that's where the mounting bracket went. As a result, the light does not quite sit flush with my helmet but it's close enough and doesn't make any practical difference. The light is compact and weighs almost nothing, you can't even tell it's there. You also, of course, can't see when it's working. But based on the comments from my buddies, I know it's getting the job done - particularly around sweeping corners where I tend to use my gears to slow down rather than my brakes. More than one guy told me that it was useful when following me through the twists to know when I was slowing down. I left our breakfast on the first day and rode around with it for about ten hours and the battery was still going strong. Granted, I would turn it off during extended stops, but the battery level never got below 75% that I could see. It also charges really fast with a good USB C charger. The bottom line: It isn't the cheapest accessory in the world, but it's easy to install, easy to use, its super bright and it certainly makes you noticeable. The added peace of mind is well worth the price in my book.

Works great even in bright sun. Good piece of equipment that every rider should have.
Have had mine for a while now and love it. I had others riding behind me saying it was very bright even on sunny Florida summer days. Some of my buddies bought one after seeing it. I have not had any issues. It fit my Scorpion ADV helmet with the included mounts, but for my Shoei RF 1400, I had to get the one made for it directly from their website. It works well on both and the battery life seems good. Anything extra to keep someone from rear ending you is a good thing.

Easy installation, charge lasts long, and very bright.
I bought this after seeing my motorcycle instructor having one. Anything to help with being seen by other people driving is a great thing. I have witnessed people being stopped at a red light and being pinned between two cars because the person claimed they couldnโt see the motorcycle. Solid construction, easy to mount, extremely bright lights for day or night, two mounting bases for taking off from one helmet and placing onto another helmet. The mounting bases are installed on the helmet with a strong adhesive. This means that you will not compromise your helmetโs strength and durability by using screws or whatever. Use the template for installation of the base. Make sure you clean your helmet and let it dry before you install the base. It charges with a USB-C cord. Price was a little bit of a shock but compared to a hospital visit or even a little fender bender itโs absolutely worth it. I have had 14 people ask me where I bought it and they said they would be purchasing it as well. Itโs a durable solid plastic so it will take some abuse. I havenโt tested the water resistance yet. I have included some photos on my SHOEI RF-SR helmet for you to see what it looks like and how bright the LEDS are. I 100% recommend it for everyone who rides. Maybe they will change the shape somewhat for those who have the old school bucket helmets or the half helmets that some Harley Davidson or Indian riders wear.

Safety first
Bright, clear and effective. Installation on the helmet was super easy and can be removed to attach to another helmet.

Just Buy It
This should be a no brainer for all riders. I love mine. Super bright and seems to get attention from driver vs just the standard brake lights on the bike. Love the different modes. Agree that the button can be hard to tell if you pushed it on and off with gloves on. But I turn it on before putting my helmet on so not a huge deal. Worth every penny for the safety aspect. I think helmets should come standard with this light !

Increases visibility from behind, but in my opinion is only a 95% finished product.
Honest opinion: It's good in theory, but it still needs a tiny bit of work. For the most part, this works as advertised. My biggest concern when I bought this was whether or not it would give what I'll call "false positives"... which is when the brake light lights up when you're not actually stopping/slowing down. This can be a bad thing for more than one reason, with the two most obvious being that you'll annoy the other motorists behind you, and their trust in your brake lights will diminish rapidly! Think of the story "The Little Boy Who Cried Wolf": Every time he heard a noise, he yelled to the others that there was a wolf nearby, people would gather to ward off this wolf only to find that it was a false alarm. He did this so many times that one night when there actually was a wolf stalking them, he cried wolf... and everybody ignored him, figuring he was just jumping at the shadows again. Well, if the brake light flashes when you're not actually stopping, other drivers are going to completely ignore it after a short while, and the light does in fact flash a quite a bit... even though you're not stopping nor slowing down! If I'm just cruising through town at 35-45mph and need to change lanes, naturally I quickly look over my shoulder. The light flashes when I turn my head. I also ride a naked bike, which isn't very heavy, and when I shift from 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd, and 3rd to 4th... the light also flashes. Shifting from 4th to 5th and to 6th isn't an issue. I'm thinking perhaps if my bike were heavier and maintained it's forward momentum more when in between gears, the brake light might not flash as much. Sadly, I'm not about to go out and replace my motorcycle for a heavier one, just because. Nor am I about to strap some free weights on either! I will say one thing good about this though, it DOES increase your visibility at least! The light, when it brightens up as if you're stopping, is so much brighter than my bike's actual brake light, it's insane! If they could come up with a way to prevent it from activating when turning your head rapidly (which is more prominent when accelerating), like if they added a digital gyro sensor that could detect rotation as opposed to forward/backward movement, that would alleviate 50% of the problems right there! While I think my shifting is fine, I know I've always been rough, but still... the only time my shifting doesn't cause the light to flare up is when I'm "getting on the throttle". So, I don't know... The battery life is acceptable for most of my rides, which are usually longer rides on open roads. I figure most riders would consider me to be a fair-weather rider or a weekend warrior, because I only ride for recreation and don't commute on a bike. (TBF, I have a home officeโwhich I work out of on most days. My "commute" is from the bedroom to the bathroom, to the kitchen, to the desk... often starting my work days in PJs with coffee in hand!). Basically, I only have to recharge this twice per week, and I've been riding somewhere between 150 and 300 miles per week, if not more. (since I bought this). The time it takes to recharge isn't a concern for me, so I don't know how long it takes. I plug it in at my desk either in the morning or evening, and when it's done I just unplug it. To me, this is a non-issue and no bother. Last but not least: Mounting. I have a Shoei RF-SR, I use the thinnest of the two mounts that come with this and stuck it at a point on the back of the helmet so that when the light is attached, the bottom edge of the light is maybe 3mm above the rubber trim that goes around the bottom edge of the helmet. When I'm sitting more upright on my bike in traffic, it is aimed downward a little bit... but it still lights up everything behind me enough to be very visible to vehicles even 10 cars back, or so I've been told.

Breakfree Light Black
Excellent product, looking forward to using it. Ir comes with 2 mounts had it fixed to two of my helmets, it's good can be removed when not needed as it makes the helmet heavy. It already has a cardo fixed on. But overall very happy with the build quality.
