From 1 July 2019 it is forbidden to hold or utilize your phone while biking. Yes, you read that right, you can also be fined if you just hold your mobile phone in your hand. If you do have your phone in your hand, you can be fined no less than EUR95 (+ EUR9 management expenses). So it is recommended to maintain your phone in your pocket or location it in a phone holder when you jump on your bike. But exactly how good and also risk-free are the smart device holders for your bike? Last week we thoroughly tested the Dresco Phone Owner for your bicycle on 3 points: User-friendliness, resonance and rate.
Usability
Our initial thought is that the silicone phone holder does not look very strong to put your costly phone in, yet nothing could be additionally from the truth! This global phone holder works really easily. Firstly, you can easily place the owner on your bike. The owner can be placed on different bars and also appropriates for every bicycle. When you have actually safeguarded the holder appropriately, area your phone in the holder by placing the elastic around the bend of your phone. The flexible holder permits you to put different phones in the owner, such as the most recent iPhone, Huawei phones as well as Samsung phones. The owner is really user-friendly, simple as well as can be installed by any individual. It is specifically made for motorola telefoonhouder phones that are placed in as well as secured regularly. The only downside is that the owner is not water-proof.
Resonance
Because the holder does not look strong, we had our questions whether the phone stayed securely in the owner. It is naturally valuable when you have your navigating on, that you can additionally follow it. Yet we are really stunned regarding the strength of the owner. We have evaluated the holder on an electric bike with a maximum speed of 25 km/h and also on various roadways. Because of the silicone material of the holder, it wets shocks and also resonances. Therefore, the phone shakes extremely little on different road surface areas, to ensure that you can continue to follow the navigation and also your phone is extremely securely in it.
Price
What is not unimportant is the rate. This phone owner is extremely friendly valued with an amount of EUR 9.99. A fine of EUR104 or a phone owner of EUR9.99? I believe I know the solution.
Verdict
We are pleasantly surprised by the Dresco phone owner. The phone holder is really easy to use. You install the owner on your handlebars within a few secs as well as it is ready for usage. Placing your phone in the owner is extremely easy. You can quickly wrap the edges with which you connect the phone around your phone, to make sure that it stays firmly in position. The corners are very easy to move to make sure that all tricks remain easily accessible. We have actually extensively tested the phone owner on various road surface areas as well as the phone rests very strongly in the holder. The phone vibrates just a little on a bad roadway surface, however the navigating is still easy to adhere to. Sadly, the phone owner is not waterproof, making it inappropriate for exterior activities such as mountain cycling.
