Do I need to take my phone with me every time for the products to work?

No, you don’t need your phone with you every time you ride.

Once you've:

1. Manually paired the helmet/lights and remote
2. Customized settings through the app (lights, emergency contact, etc.)

…the helmet/lights works independently.

You’ll only need your phone again if you want to change your settings or update the firmware. So, after the initial setup, you can ride phone-free!
