Mobile phones are great and it seems we can hardly live without our gadgets these days. But with all the things we do on our mobiles – from making calls and checking emails to shopping and finding our way around – it’s no surprise that the battery doesn’t always last very long. And there’s nothing more annoying than needing to get in touch with someone or check a hotel booking and finding that your phone is dead.
Worst of all, when you’re out on a road trip on the bike, you don’t even have the chance to give your phone a top-up charge. Disaster!
Fortunately, there is a solution. As well as carrying your usual plug-in charger for when you get to your destination, you can now keep your phone charged while on the roads. Great news for those with long rides ahead, especially if you use your phone for navigating or listening to music along the way.
The Twisty Ride iPhone charger is perfect for any motorbike or scooter rider with an iPhone model to 4s. Used with the dedicated iPhone motorcycle mount, it means you will never be caught short with a flat battery in the event of an emergency, or if you get lost and need to check your GPS!
The fully waterproof cable gives peace of mind – no need to worry about riding in the rain – and it has an on/off switch so you can easily turn it off when not in use without having to lift the tank and physically remove the cable.
Once you’ve purchased the motorcycle iPhone charger it’s really easy to set up on almost any bike or scooter. The black and red connectors are mounted directly on to the battery and screwed in place. The cable is more than 3 metres long, so it can run through to your phone mount. The standard Apple dock connector means it can be used with all iPhones, and the waterproof quick release connector allows you to unplug your phone with ease.
And there’s no need to worry about frying your phone thanks to the built-in overload, short circuit and reverse voltage protection. Furthermore, it’s CE approved and comes with a one year warranty for peace of mind.
Never again will you have to limit use of your phone as a GPS or music player while out on your bike – now you can make the most of your mobile safe in the knowledge that if you need it in an emergency there will still be plenty of charge left in it.
It goes without saying that you should never operate your phone while riding your bike, but if you need to have your phone in sight to check you’re heading in the right direction or want it to hand in case of an accident, a motorbike phone charger, along with a phone mount system, is a must-have.
Motorcycle mounts have come a long way since the first handlebar iphone mount that can be seen here on motorcyclenews that introduced in 2010 – actually it’s more of a bracket than a proper mount.
Stay in touch with the world while you’re on the move and make the most of all those apps and features of your iPhone without having to conserve battery life or choose between navigation and music while on the move.
