Quad Lock - Wireless Motorcycle Charger - Unboxing & Installation

[@Ducatista749s]

I already bought it along with their USB smart port (so it cuts off automatically when the bike isn’t running) and the pro stem mount with vibration dampening. I ordered this separately and due to your video I see why it’s so expensive. Seems really nice. Thanks for sharing! This is going to be way better than writing directions out and taping them to my gas tank.

[@josepocasangre273]

you can turn off the charger just where you see the light under that is a little button to turn this on and off the way will not drain your battery

[@danielk1380]

5:15 - get a right angle cable. Can squeeze in much tighter spaces

[@SlickMotoMike]

That's what I was thinking as comes in the box

[@jeffl1484]

Good install. I have the vibration dampener on mine as iPhones are notorious for having cameras issues without it. Looking forward to doing mine soon. Thanks.

[@RadRacer1378]

Was wondering about that vibration dampener, have you had any issues with that installed with the charger?

[@jeffl1484]

@@RadRacer1378 Not once bit. I've had it on for a little over 6 months and have gone through all sorts of terrain - no issues. Phone works fine as do the mount, charger and dampener.

[@terrancemoody205]

That scrambler is nice! I feel myself trying to look at the bike more than the installation...lol

[@elvis_chen]

I wonder how thick it will be with the dampener.

[@madflyer1093]

Looks like a right angle usb-c would be a good design revision

[@tbraun513]

Im curious the need for the expense for the wireless charger. You still have to run a USB cord through the bike, it just wont dangle about at the bars when a phone isnt in place... but then again, I always bring my phone and as long as you always plug it into the phone, it never will dangle. Plus, USB charging is more reliable and faster.

[@sleepyheadfpv1507]

I was wondering the same thing. Then he mentions in the video that with the cord if you ride in mornings when moisture is heavy in the air your iPhone will detect water in the port and disable charging.

[@MrDucYellow]

FYI, I've had this charger since last fall, in my experience it has not been reliable. I was out for a 100 mile ride a few days ago and the charger light continuously flashed. According to Quadlock's manual this means the charger is over heating. The outside temp was in the low 60's F so how will it fair in 70,80,90 degree weather? The charger provided zero power to my phone and the phone's power was depleted halfway home. To answer someone else's comment I did mount the vibration damper to this wireless charger.

[@MapleBar777]

Was wondering about the charging effectiveness. In my experience, induction/wireless chargers charge so slow that they can't keep up with simultaneous app/screen on use. My worry is using this for long rides with GPS* (screen on) and Spotify music playing that the phone battery will still run out mid ride.

[@PROTEUS_SEER-OF-EONS]

Lol I ride in AZ in 115 degrees, wont be buying, thanks!

[@aikidokamks]

Nice review. I will soon be installing one with their fork stem mount. My current ram mount is fine but bulky in comparison and not wireless charging.

[@chickndogreviewsandhowtos3647]

Yeah. The Ram mounts never did it for me ascetically. I've also had some close friends say they didn't have great experiences with them. Hope your installation goes well! I'm loving mine!

[@MadmanGTP]

"15% ship with a manufacturer defect" - exactly the kind of product I want to trust my $1000 phone and buying a *checks notes* $155 motorcycle phone mount & case.

[@robdedgar]

Why didn’t you use the 90 degree cord so you wouldn’t have to move your quad lock mount?

[@hangsu6261]

Hey man if you want to have that turn feature, I suggest you can switch to its ball mount 😉

[@andrewstanford7877]

Do you have to choose between the charger and the vibration dampener?

[@nicksturgeon5974]

I don’t think so. I have the dampener and am ordering the charging head now. I’ve seen plenty of images of the two together and Quad Locom suggests you use the two together on their site.

[@DJayAce4]

I'm so confused... Where did you get that 12v to 5v (SAE to USB) adapter? Did it come with your quad lock? Whenever I look at the purchase details of this wireless charger, it says nothing about it coming with this adapter. I also look at other unboxings on KZbin and don't see this. Where do I get this? Man I'm beyond confused lol

[@DJayAce4]

OMG I've spent hours trying to figure out where you got that part. It doesn't exist. How the heck do you have this non-existent part that I need! I know I can just buy any 12v to 5v adapter but I really would like this quad lock one. My mind is blown

[@michaeljameslawrence2965]

Nice set up chum, quad lock keep telling me that dampener does not work with the out front arm but both the bicycle and motorcycle mount like yours has the extension arm does anyone know what they mean?

[@rodrigobadillo9885]

Hey man would you be able to help on letting me know where you have the usb cable connect to at minute 3:35 you said scrambler where can I buy that so I can just connect a usb cable to it ?

[@graememccullough8922]

Does it have a built in dampener?

[@kalinpetrov4977]

I notice that you don't use damper on your quad lock setup, did you have any issues with iPhone camera image stabilisation so far?

[@kg0il]

Thanks for the review! I just picked up the QuadLock mount for my Harley Road King. I've not installed the charger but have it to install (U technically would not need to but...) I was going to mention, in addition to the lightning connector getting wet and the phone complaining about water, I have a lightning connector from the battery and, in an overnight rain storm, had the connector short out and blow the fuse in the line.

[@jameselkins8981]

Curious if it'd work with a portable battery pack put in a fork bag

[@vanderromano9257]

Good video! You should produce others! Congrats!

[@glogmanoj]

Like it! Informative. Thank you! do you know if this draws power even when the phone is not mounted?

[@chickndogreviewsandhowtos3647]

From what I read in the manual, if your bike has a built in USB port and you connect this charger to said port, it will not draw power. However, if you connect it via SAE or to the battery, there is a minimal amount of power draw that could drain your battery over the course of two moths or something like that. Honestly, the USB cable is easy to unplug and supper accessible, so you could probably just unplug it from the back if you're concerned about your battery.

[@svetonitofficial]

There has on/off button on charging head . So when u not driving u can just turned off this charger. Battery is not drawing even after two month . LED indicator is drawing battery. Make sure is not indicating/blinking

[@chickndogreviewsandhowtos3647]

@@svetonitofficial Thank you! Excellent point, I don't have to think about it so I forgot to mention!

[@jeremykydd2149]

Hi from Palmerston North, New Zealand 🇳🇿 I've got the Trident 660 & I'm looking at getting the quadlock system the same as yours. Just one thing I noticed you are not using the vibration damper! Are you using one nowadays & if you are not has it damaged your phones camera functions. As far as I'm aware it's mainly a apple issue & not so much an Android one. I'm currently using the Samsung galaxy s21+ Cheers Jeremy

[@ROBB_DEEP]

So this won’t drain your internal battery? 🤔 I have an ⚡️🛵 & ⚡️🏍 w/built in usb charging.

[@moonskyphotography2268]

Does a vivration dampner still fit

[@eliezerortizlevante1122]

Get an Angled L shape USB C cable that should help you on your OCD

[@miiichael0815]

Very detailed explanation. Do you mean that the usb-c connection is really waterproof? Isn't there a small gap where water could get in?

[@JamesGodboldProfile]

the usb cables which come with it have rubber grommets on it to stop water ingress

[@DieTabbi]

Nice video. So the usb-c connection to the charger is the weakspot? Thought it was all hard wired. Hm

[@kasperskyy7631]

Did He show the phone or case? Or just never shown?😮 video didnt even show the case being put on.....

[@michelegargiulo6979]

where is the "wireless" part if it needs a cable attached to the battery ?

[@IIIAlex100dreIII]

My usb ports are outside of the bike. That makes the water resistant point totally useless for me :'( I'm wondering if I can put some usb ports inside like you.

[@dajoker1295]

Thanks for the review I’m wondering if it ever rains, does it affect the product? And i have an existing quadlock Mount with the vibration damper. Can I put the vibration damper with the wireless charger?

[@SydneyHustle]

It is ip66 water resistant

[@mmedia5727]

Is this the new version? And do I need to purchased the battery to SAE and SAE to USB adaptor separately?

[@maverick205205]

Great review! Any concerns about the spring securing the phone? Any chance a bumpy road could make it release? I'm hoping to use one offroad...

[@chickndogreviewsandhowtos3647]

Not really no. It feels maybe a TINY bit less secure than the standard mount, but I cannot say I'm too concerned about it's stability. I've already hit some pretty massive NYC potholes and it's been fine. That being said, I don't offroad, so I'm not super familiar with the forces your phone would be under. However, if you use the standard Quad Lock, I have to imagine this one will do you well too.

[@chickndogreviewsandhowtos3647]

Just re-read your comment. Wanted to clarify that there isn't any spring as part of the mount. Only a bolt. Hope that helps!

[@josephgerald9961]

@@chickndogreviewsandhowtos3647 How is at actually charging the phone while riding using Navigation ? Lets say your on a 1hr long ride using your navigation does this charging just maintain battery or does it actually fully charge while screen is use most wireless charging I've experienced don't really charge as well using the screen so when you reach your destination phone does not have full charge ....Not a problem with direct wire to phone though.

[@chickndogreviewsandhowtos3647]

@@josephgerald9961 Interesting. I've not considered the difference between power output of a wired vs wireless charger. I haven't done any extremely long rides with it yet, but I'll go out for a longer one soon with the screen/navigation on and report back!

[@chickndogreviewsandhowtos3647]

​@@josephgerald9961 Today I tested the ability of the wireless charger to keep up with the power consumption of my iPhone 11 Pro while the screen was on and it was actively navigating (via Google Maps). I'm pleased to report that the wireless charger does, in fact, have enough output to keep your battery charge going up while the phone's in use. Not sure this makes much of a difference in terms of power consumption, but I even had the directions set to my home but constantly kept ignoring the directions so it had to keep rerouting. The super unscientific data I have for you is I began my ride at about 77% battery, had the screen on and GPS actively navigating for about 45 minutes to and hour, and finished my ride at 90%. Hope that helps!

[@Gzbkg]

so first you've said if you hook it up with the battery / SAE it draws power still even whilst the bikes off, but youve also said it has a on/off switch so then it wont? im confused, does it or does it not stop the unnecessary battery usage? thanks.

[@JamesGodboldProfile]

the wireless mount does have a on/off switch.

[@user-uk1zg5pq1m]

I installed one of these and it doesn't work as good as the original lock mechanism. A minor knock on the phone and it dislodges and comes free.

[@tbdao]

Where did you buy it from ? I cant seem to find it on ebay nor amazon. Their Us webshop doesnt seem to have it either !

[@chickndogreviewsandhowtos3647]

I ordered mine basically the first day you could. So I think I was just lucky enough to get my order in early.

[@79401Jeeper]

It be nice if somebody would show how the phone mounts to it!

[@Futureawaits178]

Doesnt wirless charging destroy your battery on your phone

[@brandonwolf2803]

So just installed this to the battery with the junction box it came with, did you notice issues with the bike idling?

[@chickndogreviewsandhowtos3647]

I cannot say I've had any issues. No. Mine is connected through the manufacturer installed USB though, so it probably insulates me from a ton of potential issues.

[@ManBikeSwag]

In my opinion, Quadlock really messed up by not having the cable hard wire into the unit. The plug option is just another annoying place that can rattle loose. I would get one if this wasn't the case!

[@calebweir4259]

I can’t believe I watched that whole video and never saw the phone installed on it.

[@StereotypedFilms]

I dunno.. the USB-C port on the bottom kinda seems like a weak point.

[@nightnday6675]

Would removing it be easy or is it permeant?

[@chickndogreviewsandhowtos3647]

The mount that attaches the whole system to your handle bars just has two bolts you'd need to take out to remove the entirety of the system. If you wanted to remove JUST the wireless charing head, you'd just have to remove one bolt that goes through the center of the charging head.

[@ncastro3619]

Water resistant is not waterproof be careful because manufacturers try to mislead the consumers. All depends if you ride on rainy conditions or not.

Feels like an overpriced way of getting moisture on thst usb c cabe instead of the Lightning cable 😂

Hahah!! Got the giggles!~

[@SEm-jk5wp]

You make 7 damn minutes And you didn't put the phone on that shit 😧

[@mybikeistooloud]

Since it has to be plugged into the usb port, it’s technically not a wireless charger. It’s just subcontracting the charging and making the mount thicker. I have this and didn’t install it.

[@Dan-wq2pw]

Hell are you on about ? How would it get power if it wasn’t plugged in 🤣 the phone uses the wireless charging not the mount

[@100toeface]

I had an awful time with this wireless charger. The head part got stuck inside my quad pixel 5 case. Now both the wireless charger and pixel 5 case are useless. In addition, is it very bulky and heavy and it is difficult to lock to the phone. On top of that, the usb c port can require a 90 degree adapter in some mounting scenarios. I give this product an F-

[@WherenextPK]

Why do they call it wireless?! It’s not wireless 😂 I thought they meant it was the equivalent to a powerbank, which would make it wireless. This is WIRED! 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@DJayAce4]

What are you talking about? It is a wireless phone charger. Of course the device needs to be wired to the bike, but once that is done, you can sit your phone on top of this device and charge your phone wirelessly without needing to plug your phone in? It's just like any other wireless charger, they all need to be plugged in to somewhere in order to receive power to wirelessly charge your device. There isn't a wireless charger on the face of our planet that doesn't require this setup. You can't just pull electricity out of thin air to power up these wireless chargers lol.

[@stefantrujillo4664]

Quadlock say it doesn’t draw power from the battery when not in operation 🫤
