A device designed to securely mount a smartphone to an electric bicycle. It provides riders with hands-free access to navigation, fitness tracking applications, music, and other phone functionalities while cycling. For example, a cyclist might use this type of mount to follow a GPS route displayed on their phone screen.
The use of such a mounting accessory offers significant advantages in terms of safety, convenience, and enhanced user experience. Prior to the availability of these devices, riders often had to stop and dismount to check their phones, leading to potential delays and safety hazards. These mounts allow for constant visibility of essential information without compromising control of the bicycle, contributing to safer riding practices and a more connected cycling experience. They arose as smartphones became integral tools for navigation and data tracking.
