Compare the Peak Design Motorcycle Bar Mount and Mirror Mount to find the right riding phone mount for your bike. Trade-offs explained.
Quick answer
Choose the Motorcycle Bar Mount for handlebar mounting with optional Qi2 wireless charging, or the Motorcycle Mirror Mount for scooter mirror stems and accessory rails. Your bike's available mounting points decide it.
Mounting location matters most
The biggest difference is where each mount attaches. The Motorcycle Bar Mount clamps onto standard handlebars, giving you a central, easy-to-see position. The Motorcycle Mirror Mount is designed for scooter mirror stems or accessory rails, which is ideal when your handlebars are crowded or not round.
Charging capability trade-off
Only the Bar Mount offers optional Qi2 wireless charging, which is a key advantage if you want to keep your phone topped up on longer rides. The Mirror Mount does not include wireless charging, so you will need to rely on your phone's battery or a separate power source. If charging is a priority, the Bar Mount is the better choice.

- Bar Mount pros: Handlebar mounting, optional Qi2 wireless charging, adjustable and easy to use.
- Bar Mount cons: Requires standard handlebars; not suitable for mirror stems or accessory rails. Check your handlebar diameter and shape before buying.
- Mirror Mount pros: Mounts on scooter mirror stems or accessory rails, rigidly secure, no need for handlebar space.
