In an era where urban mobility is moving faster than a double-shot espresso on a Monday morning, Ventete has rolled out a helmet that’s set to revolutionise the way we think about safety on two wheels (or even one, if you’re into unicycles).
The Ventete aH-1 micro-collapsible helmet is the James Bond gadget of the biking world. It’s got the brains, the brawn, and it folds down to a size smaller than your laptop.
Hailing from the UK and handcrafted in Switzerland with the kind of precision that could make a Swiss watch blush, the aH-1 is as technologically advanced as you’d imagine.
Ventete’s latest innovation comes packed with a multi-patented pneumatic structural system that swaps out the usual foam for pressurised air. Yes, air – the stuff you’re breathing right now – turns out it’s also brilliant at saving lives.
This helmet isn’t just for show, though it’s got the aesthetics to earn you a few double-takes on the bike path.
The aH-1 has undergone ten years of relentless testing and comes with more certifications than your average graduate student. It’s CE/UKCA certified, with safety stats that would make a crash-test dummy proud.

In fact, independent tests at HeadLab have shown that this helmet is a frontrunner in mitigating the very impacts that give traditional helmets a run for their money.

The helmet can deflate in under 30 seconds, courtesy of a USB-C rechargeable mini-pump that comes included. Probably the only fiddly part of the setup, the small pump needs to be ready to go to ensure your helmet is ready for action when you jump on yourelectric bike.
Ventilation is another area where the aH-1 excels. Gone are the days of sweaty helmet hair. Its chambered design allows air to flow freely, making it feel like you’re riding helmet-free while still getting the protection you need.
With pop-up stores on the horizon and a price tag of £350, the aH-1 is set to be the hottest accessory since, well, the bike itself.
