Product Information

Full details

The Fidlock Vacuum Handlebar Base Flex is designed for cyclists, scooter riders, and parents using strollers who need a reliable, hands-free way to keep their smartphone visible and accessible. It delivers the ultimate convenience by utilizing a unique magnetic-suction system for one-handed operation, ensuring your device stays secure even on bumpy terrain. The primary caveat to consider is that the specific Fidlock VACUUM case is required for the system to function, which must be purchased separately from the mount itself.

FAQs

Can I use this with any phone case?

No, this mount is only compatible with the specialized Fidlock VACUUM case, which must be purchased separately.

Does it work on thick handlebars?

Yes, the mount is compatible with tube diameters up to 40mm.

Is it safe for use on mountain bike trails?

The magnetic-suction system is designed to be very secure, but it is always recommended to test the hold on your specific terrain before engaging in aggressive riding.

Can I switch the mount between my bike and stroller?

Yes, the tool-free installation makes it easy to move the base between different bars quickly.

Does the magnet interfere with phone GPS?

Fidlock components are designed to work safely with modern smartphones without interfering with standard GPS functionality.

Troubleshooting

Phone does not snap into place securely

Check that the magnetic element is not obstructed by debris and ensure your VACUUM case is properly aligned with the base.

Mount slips or rotates on the handlebar

Re-adjust the flex strap and ensure it is tightened to the maximum tension allowed by the mounting mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation

  1. Identify the desired position on your handlebar or tube (up to 40mm diameter).
  2. Open the flex strap mechanism.
  3. Secure the strap tightly around the bar, ensuring the mount is centered.
  4. Tighten the fastening mechanism until firm. No tools are required.

Compatibility

This base is specifically designed to work with the Fidlock VACUUM case ecosystem. You cannot attach a phone directly to this base without the compatible case.

Care Instructions

  • Keep the suction surface of the case clean; wipe with a damp cloth if necessary.
  • Periodically check the mounting strap to ensure it remains tight after heavy use.
  • Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the mount or the base plastic, as this may degrade the material over time.
