The BOBO BM18 is a motorcycle phone mount that combines anti-vibration technology with integrated 15W fast wireless charging. Unlike basic mounts that only hold your device, the BM18 actively charges your phone while protecting it from road vibrations through its damping system. The USB-C charging module ensures compatibility with modern smartphones and provides reliable power delivery during rides.

Key Features
15W Wireless Fast Charging: Integrated Qi-compatible wireless charging pad delivers up to 15W power output, keeping your phone charged during long rides without cable clutter. The USB-C input module connects directly to your motorcycle’s power supply for continuous charging capability.
Anti-Vibration Damping System: Purpose-built shock absorption technology reduces road vibrations transmitted to your phone, protecting camera modules and preventing screen blur during navigation. Critical for Indian road conditions where potholes and rough surfaces are common.
Secure Grip Mechanism: Clamp-style holder with adjustable arms ensures your device stays locked in position through corners, emergency braking, and off-road terrain. The mounting system maintains phone contact with the wireless charging pad regardless of road conditions.
Universal Handlebar Compatibility: Mounting bracket adapts to standard motorcycle handlebars and mirror stems, with tool-free installation for quick setup. The adjustable viewing angle lets you position your phone for optimal navigation visibility without removing hands from controls.
Use Case Scenarios
- Long-Distance Touring: Navigate multi-day routes with continuous wireless charging that keeps Google Maps or navigation apps running without draining battery, eliminating the need for power banks or wired connections
- Daily Urban Commuting: Mount your phone for delivery riders, taxi services, or regular commuters who rely on navigation and need their device charged and accessible throughout the workday
- Adventure Riding: Anti-vibration protection prevents camera damage on rough trails while maintaining charging functionality on remote routes where power conservation is critical
Why Choose the BM18?
- Combines two essential functions – secure mounting and wireless charging – in one integrated unit, reducing handlebar clutter and cable management issues
- 15W fast charging output matches the maximum wireless charging speed of most modern Android and iOS devices, ensuring rapid battery replenishment during rides
- Anti-vibration system specifically addresses the camera module degradation problem that affects phones mounted on motorcycles without damping protection
- USB-C input future-proofs the charging module for modern motorcycle electrical systems and standardized power delivery protocols
Pros & Considerations
Pros:
- Eliminates charging cables while riding – cleaner setup and no wind-blown wires interfering with controls
- Anti-vibration technology extends phone lifespan by protecting sensitive internal components from constant road shock
- One-handed phone insertion and removal with the clamp mechanism allows quick access at traffic stops without tools
Considerations:
- Wireless charging requires compatible Qi-enabled phones – older devices or those with thick cases may need adapter accessories
- Requires connection to motorcycle’s electrical system via USB-C power supply – not a standalone battery-powered unit, so installation planning is necessary
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the BM18 work with phone cases, or do I need to remove my case for wireless charging?
A: The BM18 supports wireless charging through cases up to 5mm thick. Slim rubber, silicone, and plastic cases work without removal. However, thick rugged cases, metal cases, or cases with card holders/magnets will block charging and must be removed. Phone alignment with the charging pad is critical – the mount’s adjustable arms help center devices for optimal charging contact.
Q: What phones are compatible with 15W fast wireless charging on this mount?
A: The 15W output is compatible with phones that support Qi wireless charging standards. Samsung Galaxy S-series and Note devices utilize the full 15W. iPhones charge at their maximum wireless speed of 7.5W (iPhone hardware limitation, not mount limitation). Most Android flagships from OnePlus, Xiaomi, and Realme that support wireless charging will draw 10-15W depending on their internal charging controllers.
Q: How does the anti-vibration system work, and will it prevent my phone camera from getting damaged?
A: The BM18 uses a ball-joint damping mechanism between the mount bracket and phone holder that absorbs high-frequency vibrations before they reach your device. This significantly reduces the resonance that damages optical image stabilization (OIS) systems in phone cameras. While no mount eliminates 100% of vibration, the damping system reduces transmission by approximately 70-80% compared to rigid mounts, providing substantial protection during normal riding.
Q: Can I install this on my motorcycle myself, or does it require professional installation?
A: Installation is straightforward and tool-free for the mounting bracket – it clamps onto handlebars or mirror stems with a tightening knob. The electrical connection requires routing a USB-C cable from your motorcycle’s USB power port (or 12V-to-USB adapter) to the mount location. If your bike lacks USB power, you’ll need to install a USB charging adapter to your battery or auxiliary power port first. Most riders complete installation in 15-20 minutes.
Q: What happens if it rains – is the wireless charging pad waterproof?
A: The BM18 charging module has basic splash resistance for light rain, but it is not designed for heavy downpours or submersion. During heavy rain, the charging function may automatically pause to prevent short circuits, though the mechanical grip continues holding your phone. For monsoon riding, use a waterproof phone pouch over the mount, though this will disable wireless charging until removed. The mount itself is weather-resistant for year-round outdoor use.
