The Stan is a fashionable city backpack that’s also an airbag

The STAN backpack by In&Motion doubles as an airbag for cyclists to protect their head and back in case of an accident.

French motorbike airbag specialist In&Motion announced the Stan, a new backpack for cyclists that doubles as a safety device in case of accidents. In&Motion is an OEM for industry-leading brands such as Furygan, RST, and some of its technologies are used by teams in the MotoGP. With the Stan, the company is filling a gap in the market for wearable airbags. While common for motorbike riders, they’re not quite common among cyclists.

The backpack has a sleek design, roll-top closure, and a carrying capacity of 18 liters. The shoulder straps are wide for comfort during long wear. In addition to its stylish appearance, the Stan includes a protective back panel and an autonomous airbag system with sensors that detect falls and inflate it almost instantly to protect the neck, head, torso, and chest. According to In&Motion, the level of protection is far superior to that of a regular bike helmet, thanks to the ability to protect a larger body area from impact.

While already announced, the Stan backpack is still going through the testing phase. In&Motion plans to start marketing it in the summer of 2023.
