Phone mounts for on the bike aren't all the same. That's why you should keep the following things in mind when choosing a phone mount:

  • Do you want a universal phone mount?
  • Where and how do you want to attach the mount?
  • How do you want to secure your phone?
  • Do you want to bike in the rain?

Do you want a universal phone mount?

RAM Mounts bike mounts

Most mounts for on your bike are suitable for different smartphone models. This means you can use a universal bike phone mount for your own smartphone, but also for the smartphone of your friend or partner. Make sure to check the indicated width. This tells you how wide your smartphone can be to fit the mount. Make sure to include your phone mount. Most universal mounts fit both large and small smartphones.

Where and how do you want to attach the mount?

Bike mount on stem

You attach all phone mounts for on the bike on your handlebar or stem. If you want to attach the mount to the stem, it's important that it's not in the way while cycling. This means that your device has to be attached vertically, not horizontally. You can attach a phone mount to your handlebar with a strap, clamp, or zip ties. You can easily attach a strap or clamp to your handlebar. This makes it easy to use the phone mount for different bikes, like your city bike and your road bike.

How do you want to secure your phone?

Bike mount with elastics

You can secure your phone in the mount with an adapter, elastic, or clamp. You can attach an adapter to the back of your smartphone, after which you click it onto the phone mount. With a phone clamp, you can quickly go out on the road. You just have to place your smartphone between the clamps. The screen of your smartphone remains free. A mount with elastic works almost the same, because you just place your smartphone between the elastics. The elastic does cover a small part of your screen.

Do want to cycle in the rain?

Of course, it's not convenient that your smartphone gets wet when you're cycling and it starts to rain. Or if you go mountain biking, you don't want your smartphone to get soaking wet when you ride through a deep puddle. Protect your smartphone from water with a special water-resistant case. This will protect your smartphone from rain. A phone mount with IP64 certification protects your smartphone against water damage for a longer time period.
