Back in 2014 when the project was initialised, SKULLY helmets promised the future of motorcycling with state-of-the-art technology embedded in the lids themselves, specifically the AR-1 helmet with heads-up display (HUD). However, they were forced to close shop last year due to a number of different factors.

Although a lot of SKULLY investors, fans and enthusiasts who have been supporting the once doomed project emotionally and monetary, the new folks have no interested in reimbursing the failed project and hope that they have what it takes to do what’s right with revolutionary products.

“We are determined to make this right.”

Below is the said email sent by SKULLY Technologies.

“You are receiving this email because you are part of the SKULLY Nation and we are bringing back the SKULLY helmet.

We are happy to inform you that the assets of SKULLY, Inc., have been acquired by Ivan Contreras and Rafael Contreras, successful businessmen in a variety of global turnaround industrial and technology ventures, with the goal of fulfilling SKULLY’s destiny.

Ivan Contreras, President of the new company SKULLY Technologies, assembled a new leadership team and has located the headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia.

SKULLY Technologies is unrelated to the former SKULLY, Inc., which filed bankruptcy and is no longer in business. Although SKULLY Technologies has no formal obligation to the customers of the now defunct SKULLY, Inc., we recognize that hundreds of SKULLY helmet enthusiasts around the world have contributed to this product and were understandably disappointed that they never received one.

We are determined to make this right.

We will be sharing more updates soon on SKULLY and the revival of the SKULLY Nation.”
