New Features – exclusive to the BH51M Neo:

Front and Brake Warning Lights
The front warning lights work together with the 270° taillights, to protect the user’s security in all directions. When the built-in gravity acceleration sensor detects a significant deceleration, the front and taillights will be highlighted for eight seconds to draw front and rear vehicles’ and pedestrians’ attention.

Auto-Off and Anti-Loss Alarm
Auto-off ensures maximum battery longevity, turning off automatically when the helmet is disconnected from the phone and inactive for 15 minutes.  Anti-loss alarm is activated when the helmet is connected to your phone and the distance between helmet and phone exceeds 15m, both the helmet and phone will alarm.

Key Features of the BH51M Neo include:

  • Smart Lighting (Automatic Sensor Lighting / Wireless Turn Signals) – Smart lighting integrates adaptive technology to ensure your visibility in dark conditions. Operate wireless LED turn signals via handlebar remote control to alert traffic of turning direction for enhanced visibility and rider safety.

Panasonic-Equipped Vehicles At CES 2020 Include Harleys

Panasonic-Equipped Vehicles At CES 2020 Include Harleys And Even A Battery Powered Fire Truck

Panasonic Automotive branches out at the upcoming CES 2020, adding motorcycles from Harley-Davidson and compact, “right-sized” electric trucks for commercial use from Tropos Technologies Inc., to the Panasonic stand at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show.

“We’re doing a lot of collaboration,” Andrew Poliak, Panasonic Automotive CTO, said in a phone interview. CES 2020 runs Jan. 7 through Jan. 10 in Las Vegas. Media previews begin Jan. 5.

Panasonic is a world leader in automotive batteries, automotive infotainment, and vehicle connectivity solutions. At CES 2019 a year ago, Panasonic and Harley jointly unveiled the Harley-Davidson LiveWire electric motorcycle, the first battery powered Harley built by the manufacturer.

Besides the electric powertrain, the LiveWire was introduced along with a suite of connected features Harley calls H-D Connect. Some functions, used in conjunction with the H-D smartphone app, are aimed specifically at the electric motorcycle, like searching for recharging stations and the ability to check remotely how much the battery is charged.

This year, starting with the 2020 model year that began in August 2019, Harley is rolling out connected features for many of its bikes with internal combustion engines, too. For instance, owners can check fuel level remotely instead of battery charge. Other features work for either electric or traditional powertrains, such as service reminders and tamper alerts. There’s also a stolen vehicle tracking service.

Meanwhile in May 2019, Panasonic and Tropos announced a partnership to produce battery powered commercial vehicles. According to Poliak, those include a small “fire response vehicle,” and small delivery trucks aimed at fulfilling the “last mile” requirement for fast delivery.

John R. Bautista III, Tropos CEO and founder, said in a video on the Tropos web site that his company’s fire response vehicle typically would cost around $50,000, vs. around $500,000 for a traditional, fullsize pumper truck. “The cost is so low, a private fleet can position a small fire response vehicle on site, full time, without having to spend a lot of money,” he said.

NEW HARLEY-DAVIDSON HEADSETS HELP RIDERS STAY CONNECTED

Whether on a cross-country haul or a trip across town, riders can keep connectivity and their eyes looking ahead. Boom!TM Audio Bluetooth® accessories make it possible to keep full communication with passengers, other riders or even a whole group with outstanding sound and functionality. No need to worry about a missed call or fuss with a pocket music player when you have an H-D Boom! Audio Bluetooth Headset.

Take the Harley-Davidson riding experience to the next level with the Wireless Headset Interface Module (WHIM – P/N 76000768 $299.95*). The WHIM allows riders to communicate with their bike without being wired to it. Communicate via CB radio, hear turn-by-turn GPS directions and listen to the radio with the WHIM Bluetooth® adapter and a Bluetooth®-enabled headset. Dual headset connectivity allows for two Bluetooth®-enabled headsets to be connected to one WHIM. The WHIM fits ’14-later Touring and Trike models with a Boom!™ Box 6.5GT or Boom!™ Box GTS audio system. ’14-’17 models require a separate purchase of the Wireless Headset Interface Module Harness (P/N 69201726. $49.95*). 

Next, pair the WHIM to a helmet headset like the new Boom!™ Audio 30K Bluetooth® Helmet Single Headset (P/N 76000838, $329.95*). This headset comes with a Bluetooth® module and a Mesh Intercom Network module to offer riders an integrated riding experience. Pair the headset with the WHIM to enjoy full stereo sound, use the bike’s infotainment screen to configure the headset and leverage the existing hand controls to keep hands on the handlebar while searching through music, phone, GPS and push-to-talk intercom conversations. Apple CarPlay is available when equipped with the new Boom!™ Box GTS Radio. This headset allows a talk time of up to 13 hours and takes 1.5 hours to fully charge. 

Another option is the new Boom!™ Audio 10S Bluetooth® Helmet Single Headset (P/N 76000837, $239.95*). It is a single-use headset that connects riders on group rides or allows them to connect to the WHIM.
