Designing the future of urban security

Virgomove is not just an accessories brand. It is a technical response to the evolution of our cities.

It all starts with a void to fill.

In 2022, Jean-Baptiste Petricoul made an alarming observation: while electric bikes are transforming our transportation, our protective gear hasn't evolved. 80% of serious impacts affect the face. Why protect the top of the head while leaving the jaw exposed?

Virgo was born from this desire to merge the lightness of a road helmet and the safety of a full-face helmet.

+5,000

Cyclists who already trust us around the world.

Every curve of our helmets is designed for aerodynamics and ventilation. We collaborate with leading laboratories to ensure that every Virgomove exceeds current safety standards.

To offer cyclists complete protection

Bicycle helmets are designed to meet opposing needs: to protect while being as light as possible.

Adding a face shield provides better protection for the entire face, an innovation for amateur cyclists who prioritize safety over performance!

Complete protection in a minimal format.

By keeping the chin guard in front of the face in case of a facial impact, injuries caused by the helmet moving on the head, which tends to move backwards, leaving the face uncovered upon impact with the ground, thus preventing facial injuries.

Products designed to last, far from obsolescence.

Continuous innovation

We are reinvesting massively in R&D.

Proximity

A French team ready to listen to you at every stage of your cycling life.

The idea

From idea to drawing

Ten years ago, Jean-Baptiste Petricoul began working on sketches of a hybrid bicycle helmet. A cycling enthusiast, the idea of ​​ensuring optimal and comfortable protection for cyclists became his obsession.

R&D and Prototyping

Years of technical design, 3D modeling and materials testing.

Finding the perfect balance between ventilation, weight (600g) and shock resistance.

The structuring in Avignon

The company is officially establishing itself in the South of France. The project is integrating French Tech Grande Provence and IRCE to prepare for its industrial launch.

Global success on Kickstarter

Launch of the crowdfunding campaign.

More than 2,000 contributors support the project, raising nearly €300,000 in just a few weeks. Membership is immediate and international.
