Smartphone holders for Vespas are a practical addition for modern scooter riders who want to make their ride more enjoyable and safe. These mounts offer many benefits and have become an essential accessory for many.
Navigation and operation made easy
With a smartphone mount, scooter riders can conveniently access navigation apps to quickly and easily find the right path. This is especially helpful when in a new city or on a long road trip. The mount allows you to place your smartphone at a comfortable angle on the handlebars, so you can see where you need to go at a glance without taking your eyes off the road.
A smartphone holder can also be used to access up-to-date weather and traffic reports. This is especially useful for being warned of unexpected weather changes or avoiding traffic jams. Many drivers use Bluetooth in-ear headphones on longer trips to make it even easier to listen to announcements and warnings.
Tracking and recording
Some Vespa fans also want to be more specific using apps, such as recording your rides or tracking speed and distance. This can be helpful to analyze rides or check the performance of the Vespa. For this purpose, there is an application in Apple’s AppStore called Quartermile.app, which was developed on the part of SIP. Especially racing enthusiasts will have a lot of fun with it. Times for user-defined routes can be tracked and certain values such as acceleration, distance and wind are kept track of.
Mounts for every Vespa and smartphone
There are different types of smartphone mounts for Vespas that can be adapted to different needs. Some are designed specifically for certain Vespa models and offer a custom fit, while others are universal. One can also choose between different mounting methods, including handlebar, mirror or frame versions.
Two models of mounts are presented below:
SP Connect
The SP Connect Mirror Mount makes it a breeze to attach your phone to your Vespa or scooter in seconds.
