@@ridebeeline Could you please elaborate on what you mean by "we dont want to make the original Moto device obsolete"?

Of course,@@hanspeter-fs4in ! Basically, we will be continuing to support the original Moto device for many years to come. Obviously we can't update the hardware on it (which is why we introduced Moto II) which means that it doesn't have the mini map view as the screen is just too small for that... but, apart from that, we'll be continuing to introduce new features into the app which will be available for use on both devices 😊 So, I'd say that it depends on what you are looking for! If you are after the mini map view on your device, that is one "limitation" of the original Moto to be aware of... although lots of people do love the arrow view.
Fantastic timing - I'm going on a 2 month moto trip at the end of this year and was starting to look into what navigation to use. I haven't been on kickstarter for a while, so I would have missed this announcement if it wasn't for RUclips's suggestion of the video! I use the app on my iphone for bicycling but never made the leap to the device, so I'm excited to get on board!
I love my Beeline Moto. I hope it keeps the compass mode. While I do use the navigation feature when I’m in a hurry, I find the compass mode is a great way to discover new roads. The new map features could make the nav feature even better.
@@ridebeeline- Thank YOU, guys! I recently moved to the UK, and I was a bit 'scared' of exploring new roads. Your amazing device allowed me to explore new places, knowing that I will always be able to get back home. Invaluable! Absolutely love it
I’ve been using Bee line Moto for years and love it. I was attracted to the fact that it didn’t clutter up my bike and matches the minimalistic Naked look of my bike. Now I’m often the ride leader on weekend group rides because Beeline makes me so confident of when to turn. I still love my Moto 1 but this new device looks even better.
This is sooo lovely to hear @Vegesaurus7! Thanks so much for sharing. We are so glad that your Moto device has given you the confidence to lead rides. Awesome 🤟
Oh, that Moto II Gunmetal Grey looks very tempting! I have retro style motorcycles, love the fact that you can attach the mount with the rubber bands (I don't like permanent mounts, or big nav units that look weird on a retro bike). It's small, unobtrusive, and the 'mini map' might just give it that extra confidence at busy junctions.
Great update! Just sent in my pre-order for July, from Switzerland. Yes, there are many cheaper alternatives on the market. But that’s not why I love the device and chose Beeline as my go to navi device. I ride a custom Triumph T120 and care about the look. Beeline fits in perfectly. I also love the minimalistic approach, as I don’t want an overload of info when I’m riding. The update will fix many shortcomings from the Moto 1, so I’m very much looking forward to test the new version.
I love the minimalist look of it. I am privileged to own a really pretty bike and I love the fact Moto 1 doesn’t take away from the lines of the bike. Even with matching Triumph symbol. The fact that you increased usability without compromising the design is really exciting. I like riding in the city and whilst I live using the arrow in the country and being “forced” to sign read and be aware of my surroundings, unfortunately in a modern city environment, a mini map is going to really assist. 👍
I agree. On balance, id rather use my beeline rather than have an expensive iphone swinging in the wind on a mount on the bars of my naked bike. The fact it's discreet, easy to remove and charge and 'just' gives you enough info, is why i'm still a user. Even though it's not perfect, (but what is) i'm happy enough with it. GL
@@Bob-ts2tu and @user-io7ne1zh7b, we are so glad to hear that you have enjoyed using your Moto devices! Thank you for the lovely comments 🥰. Yes, we hope that you will love the mini map view if you go for Moto II!
I had to get the Triumph moto here in South Africa as it was the only one available. Hoping to get the moto 2. I think the mini map could be beneficial with tricky intersections. Also the improved buttons are going to be much appreciated.
Thanks Neil! Yes, we have had great feedback on the mini map and how much easier it has made urban navigation for our beta testers. We are excited to ship out the Moto IIs so that everyone can try it 😁
I've had my Velo 2 for just under 2 years and I was waiting for the Moto to catch to its standard! Having the road layout displayed in simple form improves on the main issues with the original model, glad this is finally available in Moto form.
Love my Moto, always got me to where I needed to be with no fuss or hassle! Fantastic piece of kit! This latest version looks to improve it further, so I'm definitely interested!
What!? There's not 5 minutes since I suggested an updated Moto device on other one of your official posts!! This is brilliant, I'll be sure to look into buying a Moto II soon!
I’ve got the Velo 2 which is absolutely indispensable for riding my eBike around London but I’ve been holding off getting the Moto for my MV as I was hoping there might have been an mk2 in the works. Delighted to find out that’s the case! Can’t wait until I can get one.👍🏽
I crowd funded beeline moto 1 and use it since day one. Never had a bike trip without it since. The only good reason to get rid of it will be beeline moto 2. Can‘t wait!
This is so great to hear, thanks @DrZocao! We're so glad that you love your Moto device and thank you so much for believing in us from the very beginning 🥰
@@johnduquemin4344 I used the self adhesive pad on their mount and removed the middle section so fits direct to the base. I mounted this to the top of the steering column and worked well in my setting. I also got a 52mm gauge chrome surround and modified it to fit the outside - just looks like an old gauge now. People notice it, as not standard, but it does not look out of place. To hide the screw part of the mount I just used some heat shrink. If you have a flat dash it would be mounted direct to that too. You could not recess as need access to the button on the edges. You will not regret it. I've navigated about 5,000miles since April 22 with it.
Ha I pitched the idea for that gadget with a very similar design 8 years ago at TUM University for a course on ergonomics. Seeing this product now is a weird feeling. Well done!
Fantastic ! I made so many rides with the first models. (2000kms in 4 days these summer and never lost my route). Having this « track » view seems to be so nicer. Great job ! Will you update a bit the original beeline UI that way ?
Hey @Viik! That is so awesome. So glad to hear that you've had great rides with the original Moto! Unfortunately we can't update the UI on the original Moto to include the mini map view because the screen area is just too small (the Moto II has double the screen size) but we will continue to introduce lots of exciting new features for both devices via the app 🤟
@@ridebeeline thanks for the reply, I was expecting that as the screen is smaller. But I also love the autonomy that provide this small ink screen :) Anyway, I'm really interested about the new one.
Thanks Jerry! Glad to hear that you have been using your Moto device for so long! We hope that you have been loving it. Greetings back to Malaysia from all of us in the UK 😊
Beeline 1 is fantastic, I personally love the fact that I had to learn the icons and I am still able to feel like i'm exploring without a map based system. You should definitely not phase out the moto1 as it's a great option to work along side this.
Hey @benjaminbate8079! So glad to hear this - thanks for the lovely comment! The original Moto is absolutely not being phased out - we have room for both devices in our hearts and will continue to support both with new features for years to come 😊
Cool. Always like the idea of the Beeline Moto. I felt the previous one didn't quite fit what I would want. This one looks much better, really considering it.
I have a full-size GPS on my motorbike so I didn't think I needed something like this. On a recent trip to Mexico I went e-bike riding and thought a smaller device like the Beeline would make more sense than a huge thing hanging off the bars so now I'm checking it out.
I actually like the fact that I plan my trips with Moto and look ahead at the route to have some sense of where I need to turn. This is opposed to the dumb turn on navigation and follow the arrow I usually do in my car. I am looking forward to Moto 2 for the improved city navigation I'm sure will be benefitted with the map being displayed. Looks great to me, I'm looking forward to it :)
Thanks so much @sinzies! We are so glad to hear this 🥰. Yes, we have heard great feedback from our beta testers on how the mini map has made urban route following much easier!
If only I had seen this earlier. I ordered my beeline just a few days ago. Had I known about this new version, I would have waited it out a couple weeks... Still, I really like the one I got!
Thanks Hekatoncheiros208! We have enough love in our hearts for both devices and will be continuing to update the original Moto device with new features for years to come. Plus it does have the street cred of being the OG!
Got my Beeline Moto 1 a couple of days before I found out you were launching Moto 2........Doh! However, really enjoy using the Moto 1 and it looks great on my bike
Thank you Jock! Glad to hear that you are enjoying it - and we have space in our hearts for both devices so will be continuing to support and update both 😊. OG Moto is a very solid choice 🤟
Have you all at Beeline gotten the issue with the "just off route" waypoints causing rider frustration? I heard you might be thinking of a user input/ press of a button to move navigation to the next waypoint. That is ok. Though, if I may make a suggestion.... Currently any waypoint is considered a "stop". Often I use waypoints to just have the route go differently than as suggested by the app. The suggestion for improvement I'd like to offer is to give us riders two different waypoint "types". 1. A "stop" waypoint. This one is where a rider definitely intends to stop at. This waypoint would also get the "continue" button press, should the rider decide not to want to stop anymore. 2. A "standard" waypoint. This one is just for navigational purposes, where the rider added it only to move the route to a different route than suggested by the app (or rather to get a newly suggested route along that waypoint). The rider has no intention of stopping at that waypoint, so once passed by it while riding, the Beeline knows the route should continue (automatically) to the next waypoint. I think with this kind of choice of waypoint, the routing can be done much "smarter". Hope I could help. Oh. Would have been cool to offer past Beeline owners a discount on the Moto II for being loyal customers. 🙂 Scott
This is the one I've been waiting for! I had the original and didn't quite get on with it. I did like it though. *This* one? I'm all in. Someone please take my money!
I have 31,427 miles on the first beeline. I have done many long rides, app says over 1000 hours of riding. I love the compass mode for ending up where I need to be, but I can pick crazy rides as I desire.
Looks great compared to my phone in a case on the handlebars (doesn’t suit a classic bike!). I’m waiting for the May 2024 release date in the UK for the Beeline 2. Was hoping to get it in time for the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride on the 19th but it’s cutting it fine now!
Beeline Moto II looks promising. Is it available in India and if it’s compatible with Indian Traffic needs, there’ll be huge demand for this wonderful device 😊. A must buy gadget for India Riders
I really hope the flat adhesive mount is available in the package, I don’t have handlebar space to fit one on my bike, so I need to fit one to the glass of my mirror, it’s the only option for me!!
Thanks @japfourme381! You can see the mounting options here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ridebeeline/beeline-moto-ii-beautifully-simple-nav-for-motorcyclists#:~:text=which%20will%20be%20sold%20separately). Sounds like the 4-hole AMPS would be good for you? If you already have a sticky pad mount, you could use some of those bits (like the arm) to adjust the angle etc.
If I say that I'm looking for this without knowing it exists, no one will believe me. I currently have a cb500x, and I was initially thinking of looking for a smartwatch that had the ability to download maps. I would fix it just below the motorcycle's dashboard, where there is an "ideal" space. However, I didn't find anything cool to take a chance on, and now this sensational video appears. Here, take all my money, I want one... lol (I used translate, forgive me for any errors in the translation).
I’ve just come back from a 1700 mile European trip guided solely by my BeeLine v1.0. The only fault I could level at it is that some junctions do need a little more information, particularly in towns. Originally, I liked the purity of v1.0 but I have now changed my mind - Clearly the new model addresses this issue so I suppose I’d better buy one. 😀
Thank you! Don't worry - we have enough love in our hearts for both devices and will continue to update the original Moto device for many years to come 😊Plus it will always be the OG 🤟
Some time ago, I wrote you an email about a great idea my son came up with! If riding more than one, and we all have Beelines. Could it be possible to tune in on one anothers? So if loosing eachother in traffic, the arrow points to the "one in charge".
Thanks @dmitrynikolaev355, we have tested it lots and have found that people find the screen size to be great for motorcycling too :). I'll check with the engineers on the MIP question but I suspect that it will have been balancing the cost (and cost to customers) of screen options with quality and user experience... and (again, after extensive testing) we settled on this one
I've heard back from the engineers and it was a multi-faceted decision, including the cost/quality/user-experience trade off and also other benefits to the display that we chose, including better visibility etc.
Product looks promising. I am from Chennai, India and interested to preorder. Beeline Fast and Fun is not available here. Does this mean that I would get only compass mode coverage and not the map-based glanceable turn by turn navigation mentioned in 1:10?
Thank you! We don't currently ship to India unfortunately 😞. We have encountered too many customs issues there in the past but we are trying to find an Indian distributor 😊. You'd get both turn-by-turn and also compass mode mapping in India. If you are in a place not covered by Fast and Fun you will get routing from our default routing provider. The best way to test that out is to download our free app and enter a few destinations to see what the app gives you as a route 🤟
There will not be a trade-in option for existing original Moto users. However, these devices will continue to be supported and updated for years to come and you’ll always have the street cred of owning the original device! To get riding with some upgraded hardware, we will have mount adapters for original Moto users to either a - use their current original Moto with new Moto II mounts, or to b - use a new Moto II on an existing mount set-up rather than installing new mounting. Thank you for your support on the original Moto. Our Moto gang is strong and we look forward to continuing to build on that experience!
Please ship to india!!! We need quality products such as this. Our key points, a device that can be dismounted or removed after a drive to protect from being stolen, easily installable and being affordable.
Awesome! The mini map will be really helpful. I own two beeline-moto (the regular one and the Triumph Version….for my triumph, of course!). But non of them work as i would like to, it tells you to turn when is already too late 😢 so i do not use them any more and i have been unable to sell them second hand. The triumph version is a beautiful paperweight and opens conversation in the office…. But that’s all it does. My KTM comes with turn-by-turn navigation from the factory, but it also lacks a mini-map. Hopefully i can sell the two units i have and buy this new version!
Hey @abelmelgar6925! Sorry to hear about these lag issues. Have you ever been in touch with support@beeline.co about it? It may be that your phone's GPS isn't very accurate (and there may be ways to improve this). The beta testers have all reported a big improvement thanks to the mini map 😊
What is the power consumption of the app like on a phone? During a long trip I imagine the constant Bluetooth and GPS will take a toll, but is it using only what it needs and not performing excessive checks?
Is it possible to add a calimoto gpx file in the beeline? The question why. I don’t want to use my phone because of vibration which can be damaged overtime.
Hi there from Malaysia, I love my Beeline so much. This Moto II looks freaking amazing! Can't wait to go for the upgrade although I wonder if it will work with older mounts or we have to change em as well....?
Thanks Richard! So glad to hear that you love your Moto :). Yes, we will have an adapter available that will allow you to use your existing Moto mounts with the Moto II device 🙌
I’m loving the beeline moto, and seriously thinking about upgrading to the moto II. Especially the map overlay makes small complex junctions more clear and safe. Can you say anything about the battery life, compared to the original moto? (With backlight off)
Great question - with Moto II you'll get 10-14 hours of ride time on a single charge depending on what the screen brightness is set you. You can also purchase the Powered Mount Insert accessory, which keeps the device topped up by connecting it up to your bike's battery, so you can ride without worrying about recharging.
@@ridebeeline that would be awesome. This is actually the only feature that is missing for me to make a purchase decision. Here in Germany are so many street constructions or traffic jams. It would be great to be able to avoid them
Yeah, I really REALLY like this. Love the original, but the Moto 2 looks even more usable. Huge thumps up from me! If you need any more testers, feel free to give me a shout! 😊
What a lovely comment, thanks Paul! You are making us grin from ear to ear 😁. Please do sign up to the beta and research group here and we'll keep you in the loop on testing opportunities 😊 email.beeline.co/p/preferences
@@ridebeelinedo the testers have to pay for the subscription for the extra options or do they only test the basic version of this. Let me test it and change my mind about it as so far I won't be moving away from my tomtom based on what you have shown so far
@@danh9959 I've had the original Beeline for a while now after I borrowed mates for a trip, honestly they are really good, the occasional time you might take a wrong turn isn't a biggy, as you're on an adventure anyway.
My beeline died due to water ingress after a trip to the highlands. I will be keeping an eye on the moto2 when its released and might invest in a new one. I like the ease of navigation and how to manage routes on the app and device.
Sorry to hear that! We have worked hard on waterproofing for Moto II and have also designed it for modular repairability (more on that later) should there ever be any issues with it 😊
This looks amazing, the map feature is exactly what I've been wanting. I'm worried about the open usb c port though, is it waterproof for raining riding?
Yes, it should fit fine on your Harley - the larger diameter silicone bands should work great, or alternatively the Bar Clamp Mount would suit it perfectly.
Oh wow! I didn't expect that. Great news! I bought my Beeline Moto almost half a year ago and I'm very happy with it, but now it's almost annoying that a new version is being released so soon after my purchase. Are there any discounts for existing customers? :D
Hey @MrNyphen, glad to hear that you are very happy with your Moto device! We don't have any discounts for existing customers but we do have plenty of new features planned for the original Moto device and we will continue to support it for many years to come 😊. Plus you will always have the street cred of an OG device 🤟
Bro unfortunately i live in Brazil, that means every thing here is too way expensive lol, probaly in the future i will buy one ( when u live outside the country 😅) I love the idea and the minimalism, fantastic 💯💯
i just bought my beeline 1 and i see this now, talk about timing From what i've ridden in it since i got it last week it's good, got a little trouble when there are too many directions at the same intersection though
Hey @fusaro6614, thank you! Glad to hear that you are enjoying your original Moto 😊. Don't worry - we have room in our hearts for both devices and will continue to update the original Moto with lots of new features for years to come. Of course, it will always have the street cred of being the OG device too 🤟
If ya’ll looking at comments I would like to add something to the idea. An additional wrist strap to use it as a watch would be great to add more functionality to the product.
I bought the Beeline Moto in february '23. First ever navigation system for my bikes i use. In november i've put it in the glove box of my car. When i got it out of the glove box in february to recharge it, it still was on with 5% battery left. @ridebeeline can it be that you underestimate the batterylife a wee bit? 😅 Anyway i'm waiting for the Moto II to be shiped. And i have to get two more brakets soon. My new Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 '23model should be ready to be picked up next week. And my old Honda XL 250R will be restored this spring and be back on the road soon. My plan is to ride the Husqvarna to the Huskvarna Museum when i've got a few days time off and use the Beeline Moto II to get there.
What's the point with the charging base? Does the color display take so much energy that we need to charge the device while riding? What's battery life for the new device? Just a FYI, the current device doesn't even noticeably use any of its battery on my regular 4-6 hour rides. Like 5% or so.
Hey Ton! You're right that the coloured screen is more power-intensive but the battery life on the new Moto II will still be up to 14 hours (and we think more!) but we have introduced the Powered Mount Insert in response to feedback from users over the years who wanted an option to not have to think about battery life at all 😊
I really enjoyed my Moto 1 and it looks like this is a significant improvement (particularly in terms of the screen). I'd be tempted to buy one of these however I did have two mounts fail, will the new mounts be more robust that the previous ones?
Hey Carl! We have redesigned all of the mounts specifically to deal with the reported issues from the original ones. You will see a significant improvement on these too 🙌
i bought a gopro mount from china off ebay for mine for less than a fiver, and used the extra bits that came with it in the box for the stick on mount, rather than the rubbish elastic band thing which doesnt stay still when you come to press buttons or take it off, as well as being worried that it may drop off when the rubber perishes, as all rubber bands eventually do, and it's been perfect and solid. the £25 they were asking for an OEM mount is ridiculously expensive for what it is.
Oh wow, I think this is more convenient to use. I was looking for a phone holder on my bike, but I am too scared to use my expensive phone like that. What if it falls off? Its heavy and I want to go offroad, too. Guess I found an alternative and I will have a look at your product. :)
You did not get a 5 star review from me, but thats not because of the display you sell, but the app itself and bad navigation (one way streets and roundabouts are a thing). You want to make this a community thing with collecting data and everything (like e.g. strava), but what people want is just a small "display extension" for their smartphone to show navigation instructions. I guess there is too little growth opportunity in a simple product for todays world.
Enthusiast user of Moto I, I'm so excited to get Moto II ASAP. One quick question: would the actual base of Moto I be used to fix Moto II on my bike? Or should I install a new base ? Thanks for reply. And guys....well done ! Stéphane from Montreux (Switzerland)! ✌
Thanks so much Stéphane! We really appreciate your support 😊. No need to install a new mount - the mounts aren't quite compatible but you can buy an adapter (for £4.99) which you can put in any original Moto mount to make it compatible with your Moto II device. Thanks again!

What!? There's not 5 minutes since I suggested an updated Moto device on other one of your official posts!! This is brilliant, I'll be sure to look into buying a Moto II soon!
Thanks so much Felipe!!! We are very excited about it 😁
I’ve got the Velo 2 which is absolutely indispensable for riding my eBike around London but I’ve been holding off getting the Moto for my MV as I was hoping there might have been an mk2 in the works. Delighted to find out that’s the case! Can’t wait until I can get one.👍🏽
Oh so exciting!! Thanks so much @AyoHues ❤🤟
Please put a competitive price for indian markets
Wow , love my beeline and this looks like its even better
Thank you!!! So glad to hear this
Is it possible to use google maps for routing. Instead of OpenStreetMap@@ridebeeline
I crowd funded beeline moto 1 and use it since day one. Never had a bike trip without it since. The only good reason to get rid of it will be beeline moto 2. Can‘t wait!
This is so great to hear, thanks @DrZocao! We're so glad that you love your Moto device and thank you so much for believing in us from the very beginning 🥰
Love my Beeline and I'm happy the new one can be charged while riding! 👍
Thanks so much @Fadorak! So glad to hear this 😊
It's an amazing device, I hope that it creates a new way of looking for navigation for motorcycles.
Thanks so much @RoleMaisLongo! ❤
I use mine in a classic car and it is brilliant, have converted a lot of owners too. Excited to see this new iteration. Great work Beeline team.
So happy to hear that, thank you!!
Thinking of doing the same in my classic car How did you mount it ??
@@johnduquemin4344 I used the self adhesive pad on their mount and removed the middle section so fits direct to the base. I mounted this to the top of the steering column and worked well in my setting. I also got a 52mm gauge chrome surround and modified it to fit the outside - just looks like an old gauge now. People notice it, as not standard, but it does not look out of place. To hide the screw part of the mount I just used some heat shrink. If you have a flat dash it would be mounted direct to that too. You could not recess as need access to the button on the edges. You will not regret it. I've navigated about 5,000miles since April 22 with it.
Ha I pitched the idea for that gadget with a very similar design 8 years ago at TUM University for a course on ergonomics. Seeing this product now is a weird feeling. Well done!
Have a look at Royal Enfield's Tripper accessory which has been available for quite some time.
Fantastic ! I made so many rides with the first models. (2000kms in 4 days these summer and never lost my route).
Having this « track » view seems to be so nicer.
Great job !
Will you update a bit the original beeline UI that way ?
Hey @Viik! That is so awesome. So glad to hear that you've had great rides with the original Moto! Unfortunately we can't update the UI on the original Moto to include the mini map view because the screen area is just too small (the Moto II has double the screen size) but we will continue to introduce lots of exciting new features for both devices via the app 🤟
@@ridebeeline thanks for the reply, I was expecting that as the screen is smaller.
But I also love the autonomy that provide this small ink screen :)
Anyway, I'm really interested about the new one.
Greetings from Malaysia, I have had the Beeline Moto for the past year and a half. Glad to hear that Moto 2 is coming with a Map on the screen!
Thanks Jerry! Glad to hear that you have been using your Moto device for so long! We hope that you have been loving it. Greetings back to Malaysia from all of us in the UK 😊
Beeline 1 is fantastic, I personally love the fact that I had to learn the icons and I am still able to feel like i'm exploring without a map based system. You should definitely not phase out the moto1 as it's a great option to work along side this.
Hey @benjaminbate8079! So glad to hear this - thanks for the lovely comment! The original Moto is absolutely not being phased out - we have room for both devices in our hearts and will continue to support both with new features for years to come 😊
Beeline is amazing. I am so happy to see beeline moto 2 and will definitely be getting it
Thanks so much!! Love to hear this ❤
Beeline Moto is just GREAT! I use it on all my bikes and even use it in my 30 yr old car
Wooo thanks so much Marcel! So glad to hear this 🤩
Cool. Always like the idea of the Beeline Moto.
I felt the previous one didn't quite fit what I would want.
This one looks much better, really considering it.
Thanks Elliot!!! Please give us a shout if you have any questions
I have a full-size GPS on my motorbike so I didn't think I needed something like this. On a recent trip to Mexico I went e-bike riding and thought a smaller device like the Beeline would make more sense than a huge thing hanging off the bars so now I'm checking it out.
Thanks @matt_kelly! Please give us a shout if you have any questions 😊
I actually like the fact that I plan my trips with Moto and look ahead at the route to have some sense of where I need to turn. This is opposed to the dumb turn on navigation and follow the arrow I usually do in my car. I am looking forward to Moto 2 for the improved city navigation I'm sure will be benefitted with the map being displayed. Looks great to me, I'm looking forward to it :)
Thanks so much @sinzies! We are so glad to hear this 🥰. Yes, we have heard great feedback from our beta testers on how the mini map has made urban route following much easier!
If only I had seen this earlier. I ordered my beeline just a few days ago. Had I known about this new version, I would have waited it out a couple weeks... Still, I really like the one I got!
Oh man, what timing! My Beeline Moto arrived just yesterday. Less than 24 hrs later, there’s a new, improved Beeline.
😂🫵🏽🤡
Thanks Hekatoncheiros208! We have enough love in our hearts for both devices and will be continuing to update the original Moto device with new features for years to come. Plus it does have the street cred of being the OG!
Nice! Looks like a GTA minimap, which is more than enough.
🤣😅 Thank you!
Got my Beeline Moto 1 a couple of days before I found out you were launching Moto 2........Doh!
However, really enjoy using the Moto 1 and it looks great on my bike
Thank you Jock! Glad to hear that you are enjoying it - and we have space in our hearts for both devices so will be continuing to support and update both 😊. OG Moto is a very solid choice 🤟
Have you all at Beeline gotten the issue with the "just off route" waypoints causing rider frustration? I heard you might be thinking of a user input/ press of a button to move navigation to the next waypoint. That is ok.
Though, if I may make a suggestion....
Currently any waypoint is considered a "stop". Often I use waypoints to just have the route go differently than as suggested by the app. The suggestion for improvement I'd like to offer is to give us riders two different waypoint "types".
1. A "stop" waypoint. This one is where a rider definitely intends to stop at. This waypoint would also get the "continue" button press, should the rider decide not to want to stop anymore.
2. A "standard" waypoint. This one is just for navigational purposes, where the rider added it only to move the route to a different route than suggested by the app (or rather to get a newly suggested route along that waypoint). The rider has no intention of stopping at that waypoint, so once passed by it while riding, the Beeline knows the route should continue (automatically) to the next waypoint.
I think with this kind of choice of waypoint, the routing can be done much "smarter". Hope I could help.
Oh. Would have been cool to offer past Beeline owners a discount on the Moto II for being loyal customers. 🙂
Scott
This is the one I've been waiting for! I had the original and didn't quite get on with it. I did like it though. *This* one? I'm all in. Someone please take my money!
Thanks Nigel!! 😊❤
Also, looks like your Kickstarter is going rather well, less than 24 hours in. Congratulations team!
Thanks so much! Yes we can't quite believe it. Feeling very lucky to have such amazing support 🥰@@nigelmtb
Bee line advocate here, sign me up!!
Thank you!!! We appreciate that 🤟
great! looking forward to the version where you can move it from the bike to the hand as a smartwatch :) to navigate through the shops :D
Oh yeah, that would be great! We'll have to look into a wrist strap... 👀
I've been looking for something like this! I hope this will become available in the Philippines.
Thanks so much! We are hoping to expand more and more in various territories so, hopefully, we can we can sell into the Philippines soon
Wow. This looks fantastic. Great work Beeline ❤
Thank you @ollie-allen!
I have 31,427 miles on the first beeline. I have done many long rides, app says over 1000 hours of riding.
I love the compass mode for ending up where I need to be, but I can pick crazy rides as I desire.
Love this, Jason! So glad that you have had so many great miles with your Moto device 🤟. Thanks so much for being a Beeliner ❤
Looks great compared to my phone in a case on the handlebars (doesn’t suit a classic bike!). I’m waiting for the May 2024 release date in the UK for the Beeline 2. Was hoping to get it in time for the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride on the 19th but it’s cutting it fine now!
Very interested to see how they deal with intricate junctions. That was my main gripe with the first one.
Does the Beeline's have the ability to report on traffic, speed traps, hazards, etc. like other well known GPSs?
Great! Can existing customers get a decent discount?
Beeline Moto II looks promising. Is it available in India and if it’s compatible with Indian Traffic needs, there’ll be huge demand for this wonderful device 😊. A must buy gadget for India Riders
This feels like same thing as Royal Enfield Tripper accessory.
@@SurajSinghTomarArya yeah but features r different n advanced
Hello from Russia! Your product is looking very interesting, really nice!
I really hope the flat adhesive mount is available in the package, I don’t have handlebar space to fit one on my bike, so I need to fit one to the glass of my mirror, it’s the only option for me!!
Thanks @japfourme381! You can see the mounting options here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ridebeeline/beeline-moto-ii-beautifully-simple-nav-for-motorcyclists#:~:text=which%20will%20be%20sold%20separately). Sounds like the 4-hole AMPS would be good for you? If you already have a sticky pad mount, you could use some of those bits (like the arm) to adjust the angle etc.
Greetings from India :) Moto 2 looks great :D Just one question, do we need to keep our smartphone screen on all the while using the moto 2?
woowwwww amazing!!! a big step from the first Beelinemoto
Wooo, thank you so much!!! We are so happy to hear this - we think so too 😁❤
If I say that I'm looking for this without knowing it exists, no one will believe me.
I currently have a cb500x, and I was initially thinking of looking for a smartwatch that had the ability to download maps. I would fix it just below the motorcycle's dashboard, where there is an "ideal" space.
However, I didn't find anything cool to take a chance on, and now this sensational video appears.
Here, take all my money, I want one... lol
(I used translate, forgive me for any errors in the translation).
I’ve just come back from a 1700 mile European trip guided solely by my BeeLine v1.0. The only fault I could level at it is that some junctions do need a little more information, particularly in towns. Originally, I liked the purity of v1.0 but I have now changed my mind - Clearly the new model addresses this issue so I suppose I’d better buy one. 😀
Fantastic! If you loved your original Moto we're sure you'll love Moto II, especially for longer road trips.
Looking forward to getting the Beeline II.
Thanks Mark! Looking forward to sending it to you 😊
Lovely! But wondering, does it have live traffic so I can avoid traffic jams?
Beeline two is really cool, you need to bring it to BRAZIL. You will gain many customers here.
Thanks so much @nandimnsmg! We ship to Brazil 🇧🇷🤟❤
Awww man I just bought my beeline 3 months ago 😭. Wish I waited for this instead
😂😂 🫵🏽🤡
Thank you! Don't worry - we have enough love in our hearts for both devices and will continue to update the original Moto device for many years to come 😊Plus it will always be the OG 🤟
@@ridebeeline I was backer #5 for the first 200. I’ll just sell the original one. Excited to get this one in!
@@ThatCleanMT🤡
Oh wow!! Number 5 🙌@@chi.marvine Thank you!
Some time ago, I wrote you an email about a great idea my son came up with! If riding more than one, and we all have Beelines. Could it be possible to tune in on one anothers? So if loosing eachother in traffic, the arrow points to the "one in charge".
Oooh yes, love that!! Passing on to the UX team again 😊
Do they use their patented navigation or is it Google Maps dependent ?
Great nav device. I love my beeline
Thanks so much!! Great to hear ❤
Nice!
But , as my opinion, looks small, Like Garmin Fenix pro or similar. For cycling.
Also display. Why not MIP?
Thanks @dmitrynikolaev355, we have tested it lots and have found that people find the screen size to be great for motorcycling too :). I'll check with the engineers on the MIP question but I suspect that it will have been balancing the cost (and cost to customers) of screen options with quality and user experience... and (again, after extensive testing) we settled on this one
I've heard back from the engineers and it was a multi-faceted decision, including the cost/quality/user-experience trade off and also other benefits to the display that we chose, including better visibility etc.
Product looks promising. I am from Chennai, India and interested to preorder. Beeline Fast and Fun is not available here. Does this mean that I would get only compass mode coverage and not the map-based glanceable turn by turn navigation mentioned in 1:10?
Thank you! We don't currently ship to India unfortunately 😞. We have encountered too many customs issues there in the past but we are trying to find an Indian distributor 😊. You'd get both turn-by-turn and also compass mode mapping in India. If you are in a place not covered by Fast and Fun you will get routing from our default routing provider. The best way to test that out is to download our free app and enter a few destinations to see what the app gives you as a route 🤟
Looks great - will it be possible to trade in the original against a purchase of this new one?
There will not be a trade-in option for existing original Moto users. However, these devices will continue to be supported and updated for years to come and you’ll always have the street cred of owning the original device!
To get riding with some upgraded hardware, we will have mount adapters for original Moto users to either a - use their current original Moto with new Moto II mounts, or to b - use a new Moto II on an existing mount set-up rather than installing new mounting.
Thank you for your support on the original Moto. Our Moto gang is strong and we look forward to continuing to build on that experience!
Please ship to india!!! We need quality products such as this. Our key points, a device that can be dismounted or removed after a drive to protect from being stolen, easily installable and being affordable.
Would the Moto II navigation work seamlessly as Gmaps in South India?
Awesome! The mini map will be really helpful. I own two beeline-moto (the regular one and the Triumph Version….for my triumph, of course!). But non of them work as i would like to, it tells you to turn when is already too late 😢 so i do not use them any more and i have been unable to sell them second hand. The triumph version is a beautiful paperweight and opens conversation in the office…. But that’s all it does.
My KTM comes with turn-by-turn navigation from the factory, but it also lacks a mini-map.
Hopefully i can sell the two units i have and buy this new version!
Hey @abelmelgar6925! Sorry to hear about these lag issues. Have you ever been in touch with support@beeline.co about it? It may be that your phone's GPS isn't very accurate (and there may be ways to improve this). The beta testers have all reported a big improvement thanks to the mini map 😊
What is the power consumption of the app like on a phone? During a long trip I imagine the constant Bluetooth and GPS will take a toll, but is it using only what it needs and not performing excessive checks?
nice, it looks even cooler than the original! well done
Thank you!!!
Is it possible to add a calimoto gpx file in the beeline? The question why. I don’t want to use my phone because of vibration which can be damaged overtime.
Hi there from Malaysia, I love my Beeline so much. This Moto II looks freaking amazing! Can't wait to go for the upgrade although I wonder if it will work with older mounts or we have to change em as well....?
Thanks Richard! So glad to hear that you love your Moto :). Yes, we will have an adapter available that will allow you to use your existing Moto mounts with the Moto II device 🙌
Love my Beeline! Will most definitely be getting this version! A no brainer! You could say...that I'm a "Beekeeper"..cough.cough.
Hahaha love it, thanks @Ekwah51!
@@ridebeeline your welcome😁
Backed
Thank you!!!!! @@Ekwah51
I’m loving the beeline moto, and seriously thinking about upgrading to the moto II. Especially the map overlay makes small complex junctions more clear and safe. Can you say anything about the battery life, compared to the original moto? (With backlight off)
Great question - with Moto II you'll get 10-14 hours of ride time on a single charge depending on what the screen brightness is set you. You can also purchase the Powered Mount Insert accessory, which keeps the device topped up by connecting it up to your bike's battery, so you can ride without worrying about recharging.
Great! I ordered my beeline moto II a couple of days ago 😊
from when it gonna be available any dates ?? and price plz ??
whats the price tho?
See our website for full pricing info - in the UK it's £179.99 for the black version and £199.99 for the Metal Edition.
Does this new version take Google traffic and street construction info into account for navigation?
Integrating live traffic info is something that we are looking into 😊
@@ridebeeline that would be awesome. This is actually the only feature that is missing for me to make a purchase decision. Here in Germany are so many street constructions or traffic jams. It would be great to be able to avoid them
Will it be released in India ?
Yeah, I really REALLY like this. Love the original, but the Moto 2 looks even more usable. Huge thumps up from me! If you need any more testers, feel free to give me a shout! 😊

@@danh9959 I've had the original Beeline for a while now after I borrowed mates for a trip, honestly they are really good, the occasional time you might take a wrong turn isn't a biggy, as you're on an adventure anyway.
@@ridebeeline thanks guys. Just signed up.
Amazing, thank you!!@@paulh8849
Finally ! After years of using moto 1, it's time for an upgrade !
tell that to a guy who bought his a cpl months ago lol.
My beeline died due to water ingress after a trip to the highlands. I will be keeping an eye on the moto2 when its released and might invest in a new one. I like the ease of navigation and how to manage routes on the app and device.
Sorry to hear that! We have worked hard on waterproofing for Moto II and have also designed it for modular repairability (more on that later) should there ever be any issues with it 😊
So does it require the phone to always be connected to the Internet???
This looks amazing, the map feature is exactly what I've been wanting. I'm worried about the open usb c port though, is it waterproof for raining riding?
Great question - the device is IP67 rated, and the USB port has a seal to prevent any water or dust ingress.
Question about the Universal Mount; does it fit on a Harley Sportster 48 ?
Yes, it should fit fine on your Harley - the larger diameter silicone bands should work great, or alternatively the Bar Clamp Mount would suit it perfectly.
Oh wow! I didn't expect that. Great news! I bought my Beeline Moto almost half a year ago and I'm very happy with it, but now it's almost annoying that a new version is being released so soon after my purchase. Are there any discounts for existing customers? :D
Hey @MrNyphen, glad to hear that you are very happy with your Moto device! We don't have any discounts for existing customers but we do have plenty of new features planned for the original Moto device and we will continue to support it for many years to come 😊. Plus you will always have the street cred of an OG device 🤟
Bro unfortunately i live in Brazil, that means every thing here is too way expensive lol, probaly in the future i will buy one ( when u live outside the country 😅) I love the idea and the minimalism, fantastic 💯💯
Thanks so much @pinguso6352! Glad that you like it 😊
i just bought my beeline 1 and i see this now, talk about timing
From what i've ridden in it since i got it last week it's good, got a little trouble when there are too many directions at the same intersection though
Hey @fusaro6614, thank you! Glad to hear that you are enjoying your original Moto 😊. Don't worry - we have room in our hearts for both devices and will continue to update the original Moto with lots of new features for years to come. Of course, it will always have the street cred of being the OG device too 🤟
Very nice. When is it available in stores like e.g. Louis in Germany?
Thanks! Should be available from May 🙌
If ya’ll looking at comments I would like to add something to the idea. An additional wrist strap to use it as a watch would be great to add more functionality to the product.
I bought the Beeline Moto in february '23. First ever navigation system for my bikes i use. In november i've put it in the glove box of my car. When i got it out of the glove box in february to recharge it, it still was on with 5% battery left. @ridebeeline can it be that you underestimate the batterylife a wee bit? 😅 Anyway i'm waiting for the Moto II to be shiped. And i have to get two more brakets soon. My new Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 '23model should be ready to be picked up next week. And my old Honda XL 250R will be restored this spring and be back on the road soon.
My plan is to ride the Husqvarna to the Huskvarna Museum when i've got a few days time off and use the Beeline Moto II to get there.
Awesome - we're sure you'll love Moto II!
A mount that can lock the device onto the machine would be good, so it does not get taken in petrol stations etc.
Oooh nice suggestion! Passing on to the team - thank you!
@@ridebeeline That's a really good idea
What's the point with the charging base? Does the color display take so much energy that we need to charge the device while riding? What's battery life for the new device? Just a FYI, the current device doesn't even noticeably use any of its battery on my regular 4-6 hour rides. Like 5% or so.
Hey Ton! You're right that the coloured screen is more power-intensive but the battery life on the new Moto II will still be up to 14 hours (and we think more!) but we have introduced the Powered Mount Insert in response to feedback from users over the years who wanted an option to not have to think about battery life at all 😊
@@ridebeeline So device + power mount + handlebar base, how much in euros? #takemymoney
I really enjoyed my Moto 1 and it looks like this is a significant improvement (particularly in terms of the screen). I'd be tempted to buy one of these however I did have two mounts fail, will the new mounts be more robust that the previous ones?
Hey Carl! We have redesigned all of the mounts specifically to deal with the reported issues from the original ones. You will see a significant improvement on these too 🙌
i bought a gopro mount from china off ebay for mine for less than a fiver, and used the extra bits that came with it in the box for the stick on mount, rather than the rubbish elastic band thing which doesnt stay still when you come to press buttons or take it off, as well as being worried that it may drop off when the rubber perishes, as all rubber bands eventually do, and it's been perfect and solid. the £25 they were asking for an OEM mount is ridiculously expensive for what it is.
Oh wow, I think this is more convenient to use. I was looking for a phone holder on my bike, but I am too scared to use my expensive phone like that. What if it falls off? Its heavy and I want to go offroad, too.
Guess I found an alternative and I will have a look at your product. :)
We're sure you'll love Moto II!
Can you turn off the mini maps on the beeline II ? My wife wants the maps but I prefer the minimalist arrow of the original
Yes, you can still use the arrow navigation on Moto II if you prefer.
You did not get a 5 star review from me, but thats not because of the display you sell, but the app itself and bad navigation (one way streets and roundabouts are a thing). You want to make this a community thing with collecting data and everything (like e.g. strava), but what people want is just a small "display extension" for their smartphone to show navigation instructions. I guess there is too little growth opportunity in a simple product for todays world.
Enthusiast user of Moto I, I'm so excited to get Moto II ASAP. One quick question: would the actual base of Moto I be used to fix Moto II on my bike? Or should I install a new base ? Thanks for reply. And guys....well done ! Stéphane from Montreux (Switzerland)! ✌
Thanks so much Stéphane! We really appreciate your support 😊. No need to install a new mount - the mounts aren't quite compatible but you can buy an adapter (for £4.99) which you can put in any original Moto mount to make it compatible with your Moto II device. Thanks again!
Always doubt on getting a Beeline. This version looks like I might do so. Interesting to see how it uses other maps and routes to import.
Ooh thanks @RedBatteryHead! Feel free to give us a shout at support@beeline.co if you have any questions about it 😊
