Notes to Editors 

Morpher is the world's first flat folding helmet. Morpher folds & unfolds quickly and simply, so it's perfect for cyclists who want to carry a helmet more easily.

Why Jeff Invented the helmet

Wearinga helmet can significantly reduce traumatic brain injury or worse. Concerns for cyclists' safety are rising as casualty and fatality statistics increase as more people take upcycling.

Morpher aims to give the world an unprecedented ease of access to cycle safety.

Morpher already has interest and orders from sales agents and distributors from the US, Japan, Germany, UK, Israel, China, India, Brazil, Mexico, Denmark, Singapore, Korea, Belgium, and many other countries. With over 1000 bike share schemes around the world, many in countries where wearing a helmet is mandatory, the potential for sales in this sector alone, is enormous.

Morpher Helmet has won prestigious awards for innovation and inventions:

iF D+I Award ‘16
