      Bikeinn is definitely legit, bought heaps of stuff from them in the past

        Ditto, definitely legit, have bought from them before.

      Legit but can take up to a month to arrive especially during xmas shopping period like this

        Yeah, I've only heard bad things.

    • G-rig on 08/12/2024 - 02:25

      Bike inn has been around for years and years.

      Ps. These look like micro USB still?

    Very good price - would jump on it if I didn’t already have one!

    • Hugh G Rection on 07/12/2024 - 19:48

      just put it side by side

      That's not how you're supposed to use it.

      RRP $369 from Garmin site, 99Bikes etc $289.

      You can always put it left side

  • HotPie on 07/12/2024 - 19:55

    Just bought the Magene version and not overly happy with it.

      Thanks for the feedback as I was considering the Magene too…

    • willyroo on 08/12/2024 - 06:11

      Interesting. I'm finding it's pretty good. Loud tone for cars, quieter for bikes coming up behind. Very few false positives. Synced to Forerunner 255.

      Got mine for $60 from marketplace to trial, it's definitely a keeper for me.

      The Magene is normally around $180-$190 (+delivery) on Ali, so $189 for the Garmin is a no brainer.

      • HotPie on 08/12/2024 - 09:53

        Interesting. Maybe ill try it a bit longer. Only been on 2 rides with it

        • prhino on 08/12/2024 - 11:33

          I've got one and am happy with it. Have ridden with a person with the Garmin and the results are identical.

          • HotPie on 08/12/2024 - 11:35

            @prhino: Good to hear. Ill persist with it

      Radar maybe? It's in the title.

      One emits light and the other reflects light.

    • Robzargain on 08/12/2024 - 08:34

      That is not a radar and is not software compatible with a bike computer.

      One is bright and really helpful, and the other is you.

      You'd have to be daft to buy an amber reflector, which you can't mount and have to have to special order, instead of a red light.

      It's proven a red flashing light is the best and recommended to run it during the day as well for the best safety

    You might have slow shipping times from Bikeinn this time of year.. I ordered some Look Keo pedals from Bikeinn on 29 Nov 2023 that were delivered on 15 Jan 2024.

      Thus was my experience also. Ordered an item last year on 28 Nov 2023 and didn’t receive it until mid February.

  • ripprind on 07/12/2024 - 20:51

    How exactly does it help me on the road?
    It seems it will just let me know aim going to die a couple of seconds before it happens?

    • Davie-1 on 07/12/2024 - 21:11
      +16

      I haven’t tried it yet, just ordered, but my expected use cases are:
      1. Can take centre of the lane when there’s no cars, pull off to side when a car approaches
      2. I like to ride side by side with other riders when the road is clear but go single file when there’s cars. The radar will give extra time to move to single file when a car is approaching.
      3. Awareness - know whether there are cars without constantly looking over shoulder.

      • WorkingLowJam on 08/12/2024 - 00:53
        +2

        Basically this, the light is also very visible from quite far away and the light flashes will react differently once a car is approaching (and vary again if the car is approaching quickly)

      • Robzargain on 08/12/2024 - 08:39

        Davie10's reply is A+. They do exactly this and are invaluable for most riders that use them.

        One consideration is they can be less useful in city centres where traffic is constant. However in outer suburbs, rural roads or early in the morning they dramatically increase situational awareness.

        • enthusiast on 08/12/2024 - 13:32

          Best investment for a road bike rider, especially for country roads!

          Ensures you ARE seen by those approaching from behind, and you get audio/visual alerts to ensure you're aware of vehicles approaching from behind, long before they get to you.

          When you ride a bike without one, you definitely miss it.

      Genuinely thanks for the answers, I'm just a Sunday rider at best, but these sound like solid arguments to buy 👍

          I haven't had any issues with mine

          • Fish and Grits on 08/12/2024 - 19:53

            @prhino: I’ve got the original fly 6 and it’s been rock solid and still working well, but all I hear from others is complaints about faults and their customer service

    • happykamper on 08/12/2024 - 12:19

      I'd just get a 360 camera, and mount it to cover front and back

      • Gar on 08/12/2024 - 16:45
        +1

        Thanks, that seems to be the best option as Ive checked out front and back options

        • happykamper on 08/12/2024 - 23:30

          No worries. I actually have a relatively new Insta360 X4, and can recommend it for this purpose.

      • Huzi on 08/12/2024 - 16:45

        and they have function that acts like a dash cam where it's always recording and you just hit save when you need to.

  • HangryCakeStore on 08/12/2024 - 11:47

    Can it stick on e-scooters ?

    • prhino on 08/12/2024 - 11:56

      No, there's no suitable place to mount it

        • prhino on 08/12/2024 - 12:48

    • enthusiast on 08/12/2024 - 13:30

      Do e-scooters ever get overtaken? :-Þ

    I got grilled by 99 bikes for asking to price match this. I input the price + postage but a strong NO

    • Arty.R on 08/12/2024 - 18:13

      You're basically asking them to match Amazon. Bikeinn is a totally different business model with pricing based on overseas supply chains so the prices are lower. 99 bikes is retail in Australia and not a grey import so naturally more expensive

    • G-rig on 08/12/2024 - 18:33

      Yeah they wouldn't match an overseas store or even Amazon to be honest. Pushys is a good balance of best prices and local stock and 99 is usually happy to match them. Just get it from bike inn or Amazon and wait, usually expected for the cheapest price.

      • retnup on 08/12/2024 - 21:07

        Yeah with pushys they're good.
        With BikeInn though, doesn't that possibly put you in a risky situation with Garmin and warranty. I've found people saying they're very difficult to deal with country of origin is not where the claim is made from.
        When you say get from BikeInn/Amazon and wait, can you explain? Wait for?

        • G-rig on 08/12/2024 - 21:11

          Dunno just get it for the price you are prepared to pay from where you think it's best.

          Obviously for warranty get from Australia. Most stuff doesn't matter but up to you.

          Garmin is difficult to deal with, regardless of where you purchased.

          • G-rig on 11/12/2024 - 22:13

            @prhino: 2y ACL easy, if it stuffs up it will probably be straight away or later.
