The Bobo BM 5 is a motorcycle phone mounting system that combines a 5-point claw-grip design with an integrated USB 3.0 fast charging port.

Technical Specifications

Key Features

5-Point Claw Grip System: Five adjustable arms distribute holding pressure evenly across your phone’s edges, providing superior stability compared to traditional 4-point mounts, especially on rough terrain and high-vibration rides.

Integrated USB 3.0 Fast Charging: Built-in fast charging port delivers power directly to your phone while mounted, countering battery drain from GPS navigation and ensuring your device stays charged throughout long-distance rides.

Aluminium Alloy Construction: Lightweight yet durable aluminium frame resists corrosion from rain and road spray while adding minimal weight to your handlebars, combining strength with weatherproof longevity.

Universal Adjustable Design: Expandable claw arms accommodate phones of various sizes, from compact devices to large-screen smartphones, with or without slim cases, making it compatible across different phone models and upgrades.

Use Case Scenarios

• Navigation mounting for long-distance touring and unfamiliar routes where GPS battery drain is a concern
• Daily commuting with quick phone access for music control, calls, and traffic updates without fumbling in pockets
• Adventure and off-road riding where secure phone mounting prevents device loss on rough trails and unpaved roads

Why Choose the BM 5?

• Dual functionality combines mount and charger in one unit, eliminating messy cable routing and multiple accessories
• 5-point claw grip offers one additional contact point over standard 4-arm mounts for enhanced security on pothole-filled Indian roads
• Aluminium construction provides the durability of metal mounts without the weight penalty of steel alternatives
• USB 3.0 fast charging keeps pace with power-hungry navigation apps that drain batteries faster than standard charging

Pros & Considerations

Pros:

• Integrated charging eliminates need for separate USB cable routing and keeps handlebar setup clean
• Claw-grip design distributes pressure across five points, reducing stress on any single edge of your phone
• Aluminium construction resists rust and corrosion from monsoon exposure while remaining lightweight

Considerations:

• Requires hardwired connection to your motorcycle’s electrical system for USB charging functionality, not plug-and-play
• Claw arm positioning may cover phone side buttons depending on device model – test button access before final installation

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What phone sizes does the Bobo BM 5 support?

A: The adjustable claw arms accommodate most smartphones from compact 4.7-inch screens to large 6.7-inch devices. The mount works with phones both with and without slim cases, though bulky rugged cases may require arm readjustment for secure fit.

Q: How is the USB charger powered on the BM 5?

A: The USB 3.0 port requires hardwired connection to your motorcycle’s 12V electrical system. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper voltage regulation and weatherproof connections. The mount does not include a battery – it draws power from your bike.

Q: Is this mount waterproof for riding in rain?

A: The aluminium body resists water corrosion, but the USB charging port is not fully waterproof. Cover the USB port when not in use during rain, and ensure your phone itself has adequate water resistance (IP67 or higher recommended) for monsoon riding.

Q: Can I remove my phone quickly during fuel stops or parking?

A: Yes, the claw-grip design allows one-handed phone removal by pressing the side release tabs and lifting the device out. You’ll need to unplug the USB cable first if charging, but the phone itself detaches in 2-3 seconds without tools.

Q: Will this work with my phone case, or do I need to remove it?

A: Slim and medium-thickness cases (up to 3mm) work fine – simply adjust the claw arms outward to accommodate the added width. Very thick rugged cases or cases with kickstands may prevent secure grip and should be removed before mounting.
