The device ships later this month. It is designed for motorcycle helmets, and EasyRider "includes a wind-resistant microphone that provides clear communication at high-speed driving conditions," says Cardo.


"Unlike any competing product, the EasyRider  also offers an FM radio with multiple memory stations as well as a small remote control unit that attaches to the handlebar," the company announced.

With the EasyRider users don't have to remove their hands from the
handlebar to manage the most important cellphone and radio functions.
Unique voice control functions add further safety and comfort to this
high-end device, the release added.

    Now all we have to do is wait to see what EasyJet lawyers make of the name...
