Founded in Brooklyn in 2023, Ozmo designs helmets specifically for young riders whose families are navigating city streets by bike, scooter and e-cargo bike. Its Sidekick is built for children as young as one and is certified for e-bike speeds, combining Mips protection with a fit and everyday-damage defense system developed by founders Kenny Perkins and mechanical engineer Casey Charron. Ozmo’s kid-focused details, including a pinch-free magnetic buckle and a helmet personalization slot, are meant to make serious protection easier for children to wear.
