Skully AR-1. Cost: $1,499 (€1,157)

You can add technology to anything these days. The Skully AR-1 claims to be the world’s smartest motorbike helmet, and if it lives up to its promise, it may well deserve that title.

With driverless cars the talk of the tech world, it’s only fair that those on two-wheels get a little tech action as well.

Not only does the Skully have a heads-up display built in for riders, but it also has a wide angle rearview camera so you have a good view of what’s going on around you.

It features an integrated GPS navigation, with both audio and visual cues, and has Bluetooth to connect to your phone so you get hands-free calling and streaming music.

What price can you put on safety? Almost $1,500.

That may seem expensive but when the project went looking for funding on Indiegogo, it raised almost $1.7 million.
