Back in 2017, we released the Beeline Velo to cyclists everywhere. We came back in 2019 with the Beeline Moto a device that we have adapted specifically for motorcycle and scooter riders and have created two new versions of these - the Velo 2 and Moto II since. There are a few key differences between Beeline Moto and Beeline Velo products:
Hardware:
The Beeline Moto has physical buttons, as opposed to capacitive touch buttons on the Beeline Velo. These make the Beeline Moto better suited to using on a motorcycle when wearing gloves
The mounts available for Moto are better suited to motorcycles and offer more vibration damping that the cycling product strap. The quarter turn quick release mechanism is also more convenient for taking on and off the bike when you park up
The Moto is fully waterproof and dust proof (IP67 rated), whilst the cycling product is water resistant (IP66)
Beeline Moto offers navigation routes specifically for motorcycles, including indicators on the device for roundabouts, forks in the road and motorway lanes.
Beeline Moto has a faster processor, which provides smoother graphics performance and allows it to support current and future features developed specifically for using on motorcycles and scooters
Beeline Moto is available in either plastic or metal editions
Routing
When it comes to getting around, routing for each activity type is different. For cycling, Beeline Smart Routing zones are used (check them out here), giving you three route options tailored to cyclists' ride options. For motorcyclists in those Smart regions, Fast and Fun routes suitable for motorcycling are given to match the ride style!
If you are a cyclist, you will be able to use the Moto devices to give you cycling directions; this option can be selected within the app > Settings > Preferences > Activity type. If you are a motorcyclist the Beeline Moto / Moto II is the one for you!
So there you have it, from routes to buttons, Velo and Moto do their own thing.
