I’ll admit it—I’ve been a phone mount guy for years. Like many riders, I’ve relied on my smartphone for navigation, music, and the occasional roadside weather check. But after just one week with the MotorTablet Pro, I don’t think I’ll ever go back.
The MotorTablet Pro is the motorcycle screen we’ve all been waiting for—a true CarPlay & Android Auto solution designed for riders, by riders. I took it through rain, dirt roads, and high-speed highways, and I walked away genuinely impressed. Here’s why.
First Impressions: A Proper Motorcycle Screen
Unboxing the MotorTablet Pro, my first thought was: This thing actually feels built for a motorcycle. The casing is rugged, waterproof, and solidly constructed—it’s nothing like the delicate, overheating phone I’ve been strapping to my bars for years.
MotorTablet offers two sizes—a 5-inch model for those who want something compact and a 7-inch version for riders who prefer a larger, more immersive display. I tested the 7-inch, and I’m glad I did. It’s just the right size to be readable at a glance but not too big to feel bulky on my bike.
Mounting it was a breeze. The adjustable mount clamped securely onto my handlebars, and wiring it to my bike’s battery was simple. No fancy electrical work needed—it just connected and worked. And the best part?
It automatically powers on when you start the bike and shuts off when you turn it off—meaning it never drains your battery when parked.
That’s a huge win.
On the Road: A Game-Changer
The first ride with the MotorTablet Pro was an eye-opener.
I took off on my usual Sunday morning ride—a mix of city traffic, winding back roads, and open highway. Within minutes, I realized: This is how motorcycle navigation should be.
- No more struggling with my phone’s tiny screen in direct sunlight. The MotorTablet’s display is bright, crisp, and built for outdoor visibility.
- No more pulling over to check directions. Apple CarPlay & Android Auto mean Google Maps, Waze, and Spotify are always up, easy to read, and accessible at a glance.
- No more fumbling with gloves—the touchscreen works flawlessly, even with thick motorcycle gloves on.
And here’s where things really got interesting.
Vibration Test: No More Dead Phone Cameras
If you’ve ridden with a phone mount, you probably already know: motorcycle vibrations can kill your phone. I’ve lost a phone camera this way, and I know plenty of others who have too.
With MotorTablet Pro, that’s no longer a concern. No delicate phone cameras to ruin, no overheating issues, no risky balancing acts on a flimsy mount. Just a dedicated screen designed to handle whatever the road throws at it.
I took it down some rough back roads, hitting potholes, gravel, and uneven pavement at speed. The MotorTablet Pro didn’t budge.
Even when riding over some nasty stretches, it stayed rock-solid on the mount, and the display remained smooth and readable.
Bluetooth Integration: It Just Works
Another massive win? Seamless connection with my Cardo Packtalk Bold.
I paired my Bluetooth helmet in seconds, and suddenly, I had turn-by-turn navigation, music, and calls—all without touching my phone. The connection was instant, stable, and crystal clear.
I tested it with:
Google Maps voice directions – No lag, no interruptions.
Spotify streaming – I could skip tracks, adjust volume, and see my playlist right on the screen.
Phone calls – Hands-free, no fumbling with buttons.
If you use a Cardo, Sena, or any Bluetooth helmet system, this integration alone makes the MotorTablet Pro worth it.
Weather Test: Rain? No Problem.
Halfway through my ride, the clouds rolled in and the rain started. Normally, this is the part where I’d panic, scrambling to tuck my phone into my jacket before the screen gets soaked.
Not this time.
The MotorTablet Pro is fully waterproof, and I put it to the test. Heavy rain, splashes from passing cars, and a good 20 minutes of downpour later—it didn’t miss a beat.
No fogging, no screen glitches, no issues. It just worked.
Final Thoughts: Should You Buy It?
After a full week of testing, I can confidently say that the MotorTablet Pro is the best motorcycle navigation screen I’ve ever used. From the moment I mounted it on my bike to the last mile of my ride, it felt like a true game-changer.
Unlike the phone mount I’d been relying on for years, this device is actually built for motorcyclists—not just an adapted car accessory. The seamless CarPlay and Android Auto integration made navigation effortless, and I never had to fumble with my phone at a red light or worry about it overheating in the sun. It stayed exactly where it needed to be, always on, always visible, and always functional.
More than anything, it felt safe. I didn’t have to worry about vibrations killing my phone’s camera, or a sudden downpour rendering my screen useless. The waterproof build, glove-friendly touchscreen, and rock-solid mount proved that this is a device designed for the real-world conditions that riders face every day.
If you're still using a phone mount, it's time to upgrade. The MotorTablet Pro eliminates every issue that makes using a smartphone on a motorcycle frustrating—battery drain, shaky mounts, vibration damage, water exposure, and touchscreen incompatibility with gloves. Instead, it delivers a smooth, hassle-free experience that makes every ride feel more connected and effortless.
With both 5-inch and 7-inch versions available, there's an option for every type of rider. And after putting it through its paces, I can say without hesitation:
