About Us

A few years ago, I was cycling through San Francisco and noticed something striking: everyone was wearing a helmet. It wasn’t weird or inconvenient, it was just normal.

Back home in the Netherlands, I saw a very different picture. Most of my friends ride electric bikes, but hardly anyone wears a helmet. That changed for me when a close friend had a serious crash and suffered a traumatic brain injury. It made me wonder: why don’t we wear helmets here?

When I dug deeper, I discovered it’s not about the helmets themselves, it’s about the hassle. Helmets are bulky, hard to carry around, and just don’t fit into your lifestyle. I recognized that feeling. I knew this was going to change, just like smoking less, eating less meat, or drinking more consciously, safety is becoming a lifestyle choice.

That’s when I realized I can help people solve this problem: what if there was a smart, stylish, and compact way to store your helmet. Something that makes it easy to bring one, use one, and forget about the hassle?

So I started designing a solution that’s super lightweight, water-resistant, secure, and fits every kind of helmet. Expensive or cheap, sport or urban. Everyone should have the freedom to choose their own helmet, and Lokko gives you the freedom to do so and to store it, effortlessly. That’s how Lokko was born. In the last year with many different people I have developed Lokko into what it is today. 

Join me on my mission: to make helmet use easy and effortless, all over the world.
