OK, so this won't appeal to a lot of you as it doesn't have the necessary "0" or "00" added to the price to make it "bike" suitable ..

Despite that, it actually seems pretty good. €7 with free delivery to Europe and Asia. Mine came in about 6 days. If you want the more expensive version, €70, which is more bike suitable, PM me and I'll send you one. o_O:LOL:

They have been mentioned on here before and found on aliexpress, but they're also available on e-bay and the price is the same or cheaper ...

Can hold the phone in portrait or landscape. Attaches firmly to the bars and comes with spacers for different sizes. Comes with allen keys and foam pads to protect your handlebars. Also comes with an extra "long screw" which I think is so you can also mount it straight to the steerer (but don't quote me on that because I'm a muppet).

Just tried it on a short ride and it's solid ! Confident I could throw in all my normal falls and the phone would stay in place.

Aha - so the water bottle is just a disguise... for a solex agitator!
Did you use your Ericsson JB988 (mobile phone) on the above test run?

I've got a very similar (identical possibly) one that I use on my bike. Holds the phone really well (Ulefone Armor) and is incredibly secure.

I think I might have paid a couple of £ more, but ordered it through Amazon Prime to get free next day delivery.

The only issue I really have is when I don't fit the phone and don't tighten the screw to close it up, it then has a bit of a rattle - hardly the end of the world though.

Might be good, especially if it can be mounted on stem.
But if it can does it it stay in same direction even if you turn the wheel.:unsure:Or I am asking stupid question:cry:....

Mounts on the handlebars rather than the stem. On mine you choose either landscape or portrait mode by putting the screws in different positions, to move it from one to the other you have to unbolt the platform (you can leave the bit on the handlebars.

There are a lot of GUB mounts available. Do your homework to get the right solution, they're a good quality mount. They have different colors, different lengths of "teeth" to hold your phone, different stem lengths, different rotation options, different versions that are longer/shorter. There's about 8 different options to chose from.

When I suggested in the never ending "Zimmerman needs to know the perfect tyre" thread you ride your bike more to get used to the tyres you have I meant INSTEAD of posting here. Not bar mounting your phone and posting WHILE riding ;)

If it wasn't for the ubiquitous Zimmer I think the forum wouldn't have half the posts it does ? ! Top fella ?

I just went shuffling through boxes trying to find my antique sony cr-r111 to take a stupid photo .. can't find it so you'll have to use your imagination and appreciate the ridiculousness of the idea..

Does mount on the bars, but I think the additional screw is supplied so you can also stem mount, though as @SmackIt says, there are several versions, so some might not come with the screw.

I guess if you mounted it on the stem, it would turn with the bars ?

Why do they name hurricanes after ladies ... because when they come they're wet and wild .. and when they go they take your house and car ..

Looks decent enough - about the price I would pay. Freaking pissed at stupid prices some things sell for with a brand name on them.

Had 5 minutes waiting for the deluge to finish, so tried it on the steerer with the extra supplied bolt.

It can be mounted there rather than on the bars if you prefer.

Doesn't work so well on the Kenevo though because of the swat tools.

I think something like Zimmer Falls EMTB or Zimmer Fails EMTB would get more views and be considerably more honest ! :)

Now I’m confused as to which Zimmer Frame we would see you with after having a zimmer fall or zimmer fail on such YouTube channel.
Can’t wait to subscribe to the channel ?

Definitely an eZimmer with 1000W motor and a platform to stand on.
Probably only have a front bar to hold on to so he could bail easily when his ambition exceeds his ability ..... going to be quite often according to his posts :whistle:
