Best Phone Mounts for Bicycles (Secure Mounts That Actually Stay Put)
When riders search for the best phone mounts for bicycles, they’re usually trying to solve one problem: How do I keep my phone secure, visible, and vibration-free while riding?
This matters even more for eBike riders, where higher speeds, longer rides, and increased handlebar vibration can quickly expose weak or poorly designed mounts.
In this guide, we’ll break down what makes a phone mount truly secure and why the Biktrix Cell Phone Mount is the best solution for most riders.
Why Phone Mount Quality Matters (Especially on eBikes)
A phone mount failure can mean:
- Your phone launching into traffic
- Cracked screens or damaged camera stabilization
- Losing GPS navigation mid-ride
- Dangerous distractions while riding
On eBikes, these risks increase because:
- Speeds are higher
- Vibrations are sustained longer
- Commutes and rides are longer
A secure phone mount isn’t a convenience — it’s a safety accessory.
What Makes a Phone Mount Truly Secure?
Not all mounts are created equal. A secure mount must handle three forces at the same time:
- Vertical shock (bumps & potholes)
- Lateral movement (turning, braking, acceleration)
- High-frequency vibration (especially harmful to phone cameras)
The safest mounts combine:
- A rigid clamp for structure
- Rubberized contact points for grip
- A locking mechanism that doesn’t loosen over time
Recommended Solution: Biktrix Cell Phone Mount
After testing and feedback from thousands of riders, the Biktrix Cell Phone Mount checks all the boxes that matter for real-world riding.

Why This Mount Works So Well
- Strong mechanical clamp
- Rubberized grips to prevent slipping
- Stable at higher eBike speeds
- Compatible with most smartphone sizes
- Easy to install and remove
- Designed to handle vibration and road shock
Unlike cheap plastic mounts or silicone-only straps, this mount is built to stay locked in place, even on rough roads.
Why Secure Mounts Matter Even More on Electric Bikes
Electric bikes place higher demands on accessories:
- Faster acceleration
- Sustained cruising speeds
- More torque transfer through the frame
- Longer ride times
A mount that works “fine” on a pedal bike may fail on an eBike. That’s why we recommend a rigid, rubber-gripped clamp system like the Biktrix Cell Phone Mount — it’s designed for the realities of eBike riding.
“I Don’t Have Enough Handlebar Space” — No Problem
One of the most common objections riders have when shopping for phone mounts is:
“My handlebars are already full.”
Between displays, throttles, shifters, brake levers, bells, and lights — space can disappear quickly. Fortunately, there are two excellent solutions.
Option 1: Handlebar Extension Mount
A handlebar extender creates instant extra mounting space without changing your riding position.
Why Riders Love Handlebar Extenders
- Adds usable space for phone mounts, lights, and cameras
- Keeps cockpit clean and organized
- Easy to install
- Works with most handlebars
This is the simplest fix if your bars are crowded.
Option 2: Biktrix A Bars (Ultimate Cockpit Solution)
If you want the cleanest, most flexible setup possible, Biktrix A Bars are the premium solution.
Why A Bars Are a Game-Changer
- Creates multiple mounting positions
- Keeps phone centered and easy to view
- Ideal for phones, lights, GPS units, and cameras
- Excellent for long-distance and touring riders
- More comfortable cruiser style handlebar
A Bars are especially popular with:
- Commuters
- Touring riders

Best Setup Combinations (Pro Tips)

Where to Mount Your Phone for Best Visibility
For safety and comfort:
- Mount near the center of handlebars
- Slight upward angle (about 30–45°)
- Avoid blocking display or brake levers
- Keep cable routing clean
This reduces:
- Neck strain
- Eye movement
- Distraction time

If you want a secure, stable setup for navigation and ride tracking, start with the Biktrix Cell Phone Mount . If your cockpit is cramped, add either an Accessory Extension Mount or upgrade to Biktrix A Bars for the cleanest, most flexible handlebar setup.
