BOBO BM 12 Bike Phone Holder (with Fast 15W Wireless Charger & USB-C Input/Output Port) Motorcycle Mobile Mount

The BOBO BM 12 is a motorcycle phone mount with integrated 15W fast wireless charging and USB-C input/output functionality. Unlike conventional mounts that require separate charging cables, the BM 12 combines secure phone mounting with Qi wireless charging, eliminating cable clutter while keeping your device powered during navigation and long rides.

Technical Specifications

Key Features

15W Fast Wireless Charging: Qi-certified 15W wireless charging keeps your phone powered during navigation without cable connections, supporting fast-charge compatible Android devices and iPhones.

USB-C Input/Output Port: Dual-function USB-C port allows you to power the mount from your bike’s USB supply while simultaneously providing a USB output for charging accessories or backup devices.

Cable-Free Operation: Eliminates the need for charging cables between mount and phone, reducing cable wear from vibration and providing cleaner handlebar setup with instant phone placement.

Motorcycle-Optimized Design: Built specifically for motorcycle handlebars with vibration-resistant construction that maintains charging alignment and secure phone grip on rough roads and highway speeds.

Use Case Scenarios

• Long-distance touring with GPS navigation requiring continuous phone charging without battery drain during 8+ hour riding days
• Delivery and commercial riders who need constant phone access for order tracking, customer calls, and navigation with all-day battery support
• Daily commuters using navigation apps like Google Maps or smartphone-based turn-by-turn directions while maintaining full battery for work calls

Why Choose the BM 12?

• Only phone mount combining 15W fast wireless charging with USB-C versatility, eliminating the cable management issues that plague traditional wired charging mounts
• Qi wireless standard compatibility ensures broad device support across Android flagships and recent iPhones without proprietary connectors
• USB-C input means you can power the mount from modern bike USB-C ports or powerbanks, while the output port charges secondary devices like action cameras
• Integrated charging solution costs less than buying separate premium mount plus wireless charger, with better weather resistance than cable connections

Pros & Considerations

Pros:

• Wireless charging eliminates cable wear and connection fumbling at stops, with instant phone placement triggering automatic charging
• 15W fast charging output matches or exceeds the power draw of navigation apps, preventing battery drain even with screen-on GPS use
• USB-C dual port design future-proofs the mount and provides flexibility for different bike power setups and accessory charging needs

Considerations:

• Requires phone with wireless charging capability – older devices or budget phones without Qi support will only benefit from the mounting function, not charging
• Wireless charging generates more heat than wired charging, which combined with direct sunlight on black-screen phones may trigger thermal throttling on very hot days

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How fast does the 15W wireless charging actually work compared to wired charging?

A: The 15W output matches standard wired car chargers and will fully charge most phones in 2-3 hours, or maintain 100% battery while running navigation apps. Fast-charge compatible Android phones utilize the full 15W, while iPhones charge at their maximum wireless rate of 7.5W. During navigation use, 15W input exceeds the typical 5-8W draw of GPS apps with screen on, resulting in net positive charging.

Q: What is the USB-C port used for and do I need both input and output?

A: The USB-C port serves as INPUT to power the wireless charging pad from your motorcycle’s USB port or powerbank. The same port can function as OUTPUT to charge other devices when the wireless pad is not actively charging a phone. You need to connect the USB-C input to a power source for the wireless charging function to work.

Q: Does my phone need to support wireless charging or will the mount charge any phone?

A: Your phone must have built-in Qi wireless charging capability. This includes iPhone 8 and newer, Samsung Galaxy S6 and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and most flagship Android phones from 2018 onwards. Phones without wireless charging (budget models, older devices) can still be mounted securely but will not charge wirelessly. Thick cases (over 5mm) or metal cases may block wireless charging.

Q: Can I use navigation and charge wirelessly at the same time without overheating?

A: Yes, simultaneous navigation and wireless charging works, though the phone will be warmer than wired charging. The 15W output is specifically chosen to provide net positive charging even with navigation apps running. In extreme heat (40°C+ ambient temperature plus direct sunlight), some phones may temporarily pause charging to cool down, then resume automatically. Using a light-colored phone case and angling the mount for airflow helps manage heat.

Q: Is the wireless charging safe in rain and what happens if water gets on the charging surface?

A: The charging pad itself is weather-resistant for motorcycle use, and wireless charging functions safely in wet conditions as there are no exposed electrical contacts. However, water between the phone and charging pad may reduce charging efficiency or cause intermittent charging until it evaporates. The mount will not short-circuit or damage your phone in rain, but for heavy monsoon riding, a waterproof phone case is recommended for overall phone protection beyond just the charging function.
