Woolf Helmets has launched an equity raise on Republic Europe (formerly Seedrs) to take its folding smart helmet into full-scale production.
Woolf Helmets is the world’s first foldable smart helmet. The helmet features intuitive hands-free turn technology and patented Energy Reduction Technology® (ERT). It is seeking investors to back its expansion into full-scale production and capture the fast-growing micromobility market.

The company has already secured £375,000 toward its £1m+ target, showing strong investor confidence and momentum for the campaign.
Woolf Helmets previously ran a successful Kickstarter campaign that reached its target in under three hours and closed at 720% funded. The Republic Europe raise is the next step in scaling the company commercially and making safe, portable helmets more widely available, with a full global launch is planned for Q1 2026.
The market potential is significant. Valued at $4.8 billion today, the global helmet market is projected to reach $7.47 billion by 2030*, driven partially by the rapid growth of micromobility and the expansion of compulsory helmet laws. At present, 28 countries enforce some form of mandatory helmet legislation, with more expected to follow.
Lightweight and quick to open and close, the helmet slips easily into a bag, addressing one of the main barriers to helmet use: portability. It will meet both CPSC (US) and CE EN1078 (most of the world outside the US) safety standards and is supported by a robust IP portfolio.
Availability and Pricing
The Woolf Helmet will retail for £219 and is available for pre-order at www.woolfhelmets.com Full commercial launch is planned for Q1 2026, with early-bird pricing available to crowdfunding investors.
About the Woolf Helmets
London-based Woolf Helmets was founded by Jeff Woolf OBE, a British inventor recognised internationally for his inventions and awarded an OBE for services to innovation and business.
After creating the award-winning Morpher folding helmet, Woolf has developed a new generation of helmet that combines portability with smart safety features. He says:
“Helmets haven’t changed in decades, but the way we travel has. The Woolf Helmet has been designed for today’s riders: foldable, smart, and created with safety, simplicity and portability in mind. The only helmet worth having is the one you carry with you, and that’s what we’ve built.”
