Magnetic Bicycle Phone Mounts

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Vela's Pully Securely Mounts Any Smartphone to Bicycle Handlebars

— October 20, 2016 — Tech
The Pully is a new piece of cycling hardware from Vela that gives riders a simple and reliable way to safely use their smartphones' features while cycling. The mount uses magnets to firmly attach smartphones to bicycle handlebars, allowing cyclists to access things like mapping apps while they ride.

Pully uses magnets, but Vela assures users that the system will cause no damage to modern smartphones. Though magnets were once anathema to electronics, any smartphones designed since 2012 have been built to handle magnetic fields.

Perhaps the biggest benefit of Pully over other handlebar phone mounts is its sleek size. While other phone mounts are large and require complex straps and locks to attach, Pully is smaller that most bicycle bells, and riders can use its flexible elastic strap to attach it and detach it as often as they please.
Trend Themes
1. Magnetic Phone Mounts for Bicycles - The rise of magnetic phone mounts for bicycles, as a simple and reliable solution for accessing smartphones' features while cycling.
2. Sleek Cycling Accessories - The trend towards smaller, more aesthetically pleasing cycling accessories, such as Vela's Pully magnetic phone mount.
3. Smartphone-integrated Cycling - The emergence of smartphone-integrated cycling, whereby riders can effortlessly access mapping apps and other features while cycling.
Industry Implications
1. Cycling Industry - The cycling industry can take advantage of the trend towards more efficient and aesthetic bike accessories, such as the magnetic phone mount.
2. Smartphone Industry - The smartphone industry can innovate towards more features that are easily accessible and integrated for cyclists, while still protecting user safety.
3. Accessories Industry - The accessories industry can develop new solutions to improve the convenience and safety of using personal devices while engaging in outdoor activities.
