800 mA Helmet Wiper Motor with 65mm Blade for Motorcycle Helmets and Goggles

Riding in rain, fog, or through spray can quickly obscure a helmet visor or goggle lens, posing a safety risk. This Helmet Wiper Motor, model TZ-HW065, offers an integrated solution. Its 800 mA motor drives a 65mm wiper blade directly across the visor surface, clearing water and light debris to maintain a clear field of vision without needing to manually wipe or stop. The black plastic housing is designed for discreet installation on various helmet and goggle types, providing a practical upgrade for riders seeking enhanced visibility in adverse weather conditions.

Features and Construction

The TZ-HW065 helmet wiper is built for a specific function: automated visor cleaning. Its design prioritises compact integration and reliable operation from a standard vehicle electrical system.

Motor and Power Specifications

The core of the unit is an electric motor rated for an 800 milliamp (mA) current draw. This specification indicates its power consumption and compatibility with typical 12V motorcycle or powersport electrical circuits. It is designed to provide sufficient torque to move the wiper arm effectively against the visor surface without overloading the vehicle's wiring.

Wiper Blade and Dimensions

Attached to the motor is a 65mm long wiper blade. This length is chosen to provide a useful sweep area on curved visors and flat goggle lenses. The blade material is designed to conform to the surface and wipe cleanly without scratching polycarbonate or acrylic visors when installed correctly.

Uses and Placement

This wiper motor is intended for aftermarket installation to improve functionality during rides where weather can change quickly.

Motorcycle Helmet Integration

The primary use is for full-face or modular motorcycle helmets. Riders can mount the motor assembly inside the helmet shell, near the top of the visor aperture, with the 65mm blade resting on the outside of the visor. When activated, it sweeps across the visor, clearing rain droplets or road spray to restore a clear view directly in the rider's line of sight.

Goggle and Other Powersport Applications

It is also suitable for use on goggles worn for motocross, snowmobiling, or ATV riding. The compact black housing can be mounted on the goggle frame, and the blade can sweep across the lens. This can be particularly useful in muddy or wet off-road conditions where lens clarity is frequently compromised.

Benefits and Buying Value

This product addresses a specific need for continuous visibility, offering a mechanical solution to a common problem.

Enhanced Safety Through Visibility

The main benefit is maintaining a clear visor without the rider having to lift a hand from the controls or break their riding posture. This can contribute to safer riding in poor weather, as the rider's attention remains on the road and both hands stay on the handlebars.

Practical Installation and Reuse

Supplied as a single, complete unit, it offers a dedicated component for a custom installation. Once fitted and wired to a switch on the handlebars, it provides a reusable cleaning function every time it rains, eliminating the need for constant manual wiping with a glove or cloth.
