Frequently Asked Questions About VELO: Intercom for Bicycle Riders
Does it interfere with the rider's hearing?
The VELO bicycle intercom is designed to not interfere with your hearing. The speakers hover outside your ears, allowing for full environmental awareness.
Can it be easily attached to a bike helmet?
Yes, like our ski helmet intercom, the VELO cycling communication system is designed for easy and straightforward mounting on almost any regular vented helmet. It comes with a specially designed mounting system that ensures a secure fit without the need for any complicated tools or modifications.
Very prompt delivery (a few days from SG to CH), DHL handled customs. Works as intended, no problem at 30 km/h. Just need to find the correct voice pitch/strength - quiet speaking is not transmitted (which is fine).
Can warmly recommend, this is useful and improves safety.
My wife and I recently bought the Vertix Velo "road biker" intercom system. Although it's quite expensive (particularly when you have to pay tax and customs duty when it arrives in the UK) in our opinion it's a fantastic system --- nothing short of transformational.
We bought the intercom system to improve communication between us when we're out on our bikes --- "Which way at this junction?" "Watch out for that van." Etc. --- and it certainly does that. What I hadn't expected is that as well as facilitating communication it also enables conversation. Before we had the intercom system, if I wanted to say something to my wife I had to wait until we were fairly close and then shout. Now I can just chat to her in a relaxed way, speaking at a normal conversational volume. It's absolutely brilliant. Rather than just getting our heads down and pedalling, with occasional shouted comments, we can chat away about all sorts of things --- interesting things in the fields we're cycling past, what we're having for tea that evening, where we might like to go on holidays, etc., etc.
In summary, although the Vertix Velo intercom system is expensive we regard it as being well worth the money.
By the way, buying and importing the system was very straightforward. Although I'd have been happy to sort out the pairing arrangements myself, the Vertix people did the set-up for us before sending it off (from Singapore, I gather) and the courier sent me an email about the tax and customs duty payment, which I was able to make via their web site. Simples! (as a well-known meerkat used to say).
Wanting to communicate safely while cycling and after trying various solutions we selected the Vertix Velo Road Rider system. The speakers attach to the helmet and the radio to the back of your helmet. Sadly the radio interfered with my wife's DBS unit fitted for her Parkinsons. Vertix were amazing and made her a special headset with a longer cable so we could fit the radio to a belt. It arrived in time for our (team of 5) charity bike ride (virtual Lands End to John'Groats) . We have tested it over 7 days now with no problems! Thank you Vertix
My wife and I ride a tandem bike. Even though we are just a few feet apart my hearing isn't what it was and she doesn't like to shout. With the vertix systems we can carry on a continuous conversation at normal levels the entire ride. I think we talk more on the bike now than off! Thanks Vertix! You guys rock!
Great product, audio clarity excellent, light weight, great range. Not the easiest of instruction for installation on helmet - some larger coloured pictures would be appreciated along with additional fixing pieces in case of wrong placement.
However once installed product fantastic
