The Lightmode Motorcycle Helmet might look cool, but most importantly, it's safe. The bright blue illumination that lines the perimeter of the helmets help to increase visibility in only the best way possible. Utterly stylish, it will have people thinking of "TRON: Legacy" and the lightcycles that many people tried to replicate after the movie hit theaters.
What makes the Lightmode Motorcycle Helmet particularly appealing is the fact that it comes in the form of a do it yourself kit. Currently seeking funds on Kickstarter, the kit permanently modifies existing helmets in an affordable way. Available in two versions, the Electron Kit and the Proton Kit, the Lightmode Motorcycle Helmet can blink or glow, depending on the desire of the wearer. Powered by batteries, it lasts up to 13 hours in one go.
