COMMUTE A.I.R. PRO 18

The COMMUTE A.I.R. PRO 18 is the world's first cycling backpack with an integrated airbag and back protector - developed to significantly minimize the risk of injury for modern city bikers. In the event of a fall, the MINERVA AIRBAG SYSTEM's sensor-controlled airbag inflates in less than 0.2 seconds and protects the cyclist's neck, shoulders, collarbones and chest, while the LITESHIELD PLUS back protector offers protection for the spine. These two technologies combined in the backpack can reduce up to 80 % of the impact forces that occur during a fall. In addition, the backpack made of recycled Polyester has all the features that bike commuters want on their way through the city: 18 litres of packing volume, a padded laptop compartment with lateral quick access, D-lock-, phone-, sunglasses- and organizer-compartments, maximum carrying comfort and a perfect fit. A set of glow-in-the-dark CARGO STRAPS are included to complement the COMMUTE A.I.R. PRO 18's reflective prints for enhanced visibility in traffic.

• Airbag system developed together with Minerva-AS GmbH
• Chest strap with magnetic FIDLOCK buckle activates the MINERVA AIRBAG SYSTEM
• 32 h battery life, rechargeable via USB-C connection
• Filling of the airbag via MINERVA INFLATOR (CO2 cartridge with ignition module)

Manufacturer information

RESTRICTIONS ON USE / EXCLUSION: The COMMUTE A.I.R. PRO is designed and certified exclusively for the context of use described in the paragraph “Purpose | Field of application” in the product manual. The backpack is not suitable for other purposes, in particular mountain biking, downhill cycling, BMX, motor sports or for use on motorised vehicles such as scooters, quads, Segways or other comparable sports. Protection against all injuries cannot be guaranteed. This includes twisting, over stretching or compression, as well as spinal compression fractures. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The COMMUTE A.I.R. PRO is only capable of reducing the risk of serious injury caused by an impact if it is worn correctly. Please observe the section“Correct fit | Adjust backpack” in the product manual. No modifications may be made to the backpack, the airbag system or the back protector to ensure that the protective function is guaranteed in all circumstances. Modifications will invalidate all warranty claims. The flexibility of the back protector is ensured by its surface material properties; however, the protector should not be bent. WARNINGS: The COMMUTE A.I.R. PRO may only be used for cycling; the airbag system must be deactivated for all other activities. Please follow the section “Activating and deactivating the system” in the product manual for instructions. The system evaluates a multitude of parameters, which makes the MINERVA AIRBAG SYSTEM highly reliable. It is capable of recognising and reacting to a variety of fall accident patterns or fall-like situations. Nevertheless, erroneous system activations cannot be ruled out. In order to avoid such erroneous activations, please observe the recommendations below after the System has been activated:

• Do not hop your bicycle off kerbs or off or over similar obstacles
• Do not ride down stairways or steps
• Do not use the personal protective equipment (PPE) for mountain biking
• Do not use the PPE in a bike park or on trails
• Do not wear clothing that could impair the function of the COMMUTE A.I.R. PRO. This includes thick scarves, thick hoods or similar bulky clothing
• Do not use lifts, stairs or similar fast accelerating vehicles when the system is activated
• Ensure that all straps, buckles and clip fasteners are tightly closed and not damaged
• Observe the green LED on the chest strap triggering buckle, which indicates that the MINERVA AIRBAG SYSTEM is functioning properly and ready for use
• Be particularly vigilant to open the chest strap triggering buckle immediately after each ride, thereby deactivating the system
