Beeline Moto II - Black

I got this for creating routes & exploring the more deserted roads, or simply using as a backup when you can't remember every road turn in your head & this saves getting the map out. You can create routes on the Beeline website and they will automatically import into the Beeline device. Generally works very well but if you're in a dodgy signal area it'll 'freeze' and display 'rerouting' while its waiting to reconnect to your phone.
Quite expensive for what it is, and some of the accessories for it are extortionate. £49.99 for a powered mount? An absolute joke. I just use a usb cable and plug it into the bike. On this topic, they claim 14hrs battery life, which is nonsense. The most I've ever had before having to plug it into the bike is 8-9hrs.
Nonetheless, for me it works well and we've been riding new roads that we probably would have missed out if not for having the Beeline as a backup.

this is a good bit of kit. I recommend that you put a rubber plug in the usb-c charge socket when riding in the rain.

For a small device, you get a lot of information. I'm lucky I can mount it high so can keep an eye on the road whilst looking at it. Very motorcycle glove friendly. Shame you have to pay sunscription to get full use like voice directions but worth it. Much less distracting then when I had a screen.

The companion app for this device lets the product down. The route planner is very poor and seems to think a national speed limit dual carriageway is not a 'highway'. I tend to review things with the premise of if the item broke would I re-buy it and I'm afraid the answer would be no for this device. Look elsewhere if you want a reliable sat nav system for your bike.

Recommended by a friend. I wish I got one sooner, absolutely love it. Saves having my phone out, which can be difficult to see when the sun is out. Came across a road closure and re routed instantly.

I heard this can not only guide you easily, but take you either the Fun way, the Relaxed way or quickest
For a biker I'd say it's almost a given to have

Excellent product, easy to use, 3 routes to pick from depending on time allowed. Up grade from the Royal Enfield tripper, same idea but easier to use.

Bought this as I didn't want to use my phone as a satnav. I'm a cyclist so I'm used to head units, this isn't one, it's a second screen for the app. I can't record a ride or follow a route with the beeline only.

The battery is claimed to last 14 hours, I manage 8 to 9 hours meaning I need to recharge it at least once a week, especially before the weekend.

I bought the beeline to ride to the City and it doesn't work very well there, it often loses signal (tall buildings and GPS on the phone in pocket under thick jacket).

I've become weary of the mapping tool. It sends me through Bishopsgate when it's buses only and it imagines a weird path at some intersections, I have attached screenshots where I can go straight but it tells me to make a hook... so I check Google Maps and I would use that on my phone if I hadn't bought this.

Simple to use, very accurate, clear. Rubber band mounting is especially useful. I have now purchased (separately) a sticky pad mount, so as to position the Beeline in a better location.

So I ride a Harley Chopper I havent got a speedo and didnt really want to run a regular speedo so wanted something clean and tidy the item is small but still easy to read no glare or bad reflections and easy to use. Id never really thought or wanted a sat nav on a bike before but again this feature just works and the fact it's so small lightweight and portable means it can come on any bike with me if I sold this one in the future.

Have not had a chance to use the item yet but looking forward to it

I have a Triumph Scrambler 1200X. Overall it’s a brilliant bike for our broken UK roads and the 820mm seat height means that I can stand over it, whereas the XE has a saddle height of 870mm, which would’ve meant that I would be certain to drop it eventually. (It’s a shame that Triumph didn’t offer this, more road oriented version with the level of components that the XE has.
However it has 1 major flaw - when the sun is overhead the TFT/LCD become mirrors and can’t be read at all! If I got a speeding conviction when I was unaware that I was speeding, I’d be really upset. Why is the law insistent that a speedo must be capable of being read at night but doesn’t seem to care that it may be non-functional on sunny days?
After realising that there was no fix at all, due to the curvature of the instrument, I had a lateral thought, “why not try a Beeline as a speedo”. I purchased a Beeline Moto 2 Classic from Sportsbike Shop, knowing that I would be protected by their industry leading returns policy. (I bought the classic edition because I wanted it to look good on my Harley FLDE to use as a direction finding device - the Harley analogue speedo remains easily readable in all conditions!) When it arrived, I took it into the garden and confirmed that there was very little glare in full strong 32C May sunshine before using it.
I can confirm that it’s readable on the bike, when the actual Speedo isn’t and that the supplied mount is actually very secure and has enabled me to fit it centrally on the bars, in my direct line of sight. The Beeline is easily detachable, easily charged via USB C and doesn’t use much of my iPhone Pro Max 13 battery. I have set it up so that I could use it as a “mini sat nav” IF ever required. I anticipate the compass function being useful. It is exceptionally easy to switch modes, thanks to the entire top of the device effectively being a 4 way rocker switch.

If Beeline realised how useful (ESSENTIAL ON SOME BIKES) it is as a speedo they would ensure that the indicated speed filled the whole screen in speedo mode. It’s such a clever bit of tech that I’m sure they could do this with a software update.
I haven’t used it as a route planner yet, I know that there are many, many reviews of it as such but I couldn’t be certain, from any of them, that it was readable in very bright sunlight, or how functional it really was, as a speedo, from any of the reviews - I’m telling you that it’s a great workaround for the cynical attitude of many (most?) manufacturers, to the real world deficiencies of the law regarding motor cycle safety, which allows them to penny pinch and not supply brighter, anti reflective instrumentation as standard.
I would’ve loved twin clocks on my Scrambler!

This sat nav is ideal for that classic bike, where you still want to have turn by turn navigation, but want a discreet unit. The phone app is very good at creating routes which are then played back on the display and in your helmet headset.

I am extremely satisfied, finally something that really works and is great to use and it is not big and heavy and very transparent to use. I am glad that my friend recommended it to me.
