FAQs
Is the Zefal iPhone Bike Kit compatible with Android phones?
The Zefal iPhone Bike Kit is specifically designed for iPhones. Compatibility with Android phones would depend on whether an equivalent Zefal Z Console case is available for your specific Android model.
How waterproof is the case?
The case is designed to protect against rain and mud, making it suitable for riding in wet conditions. It is not intended for submersion in water.
Can I use the mount without the Zefal case?
No, the mounting system is designed to work exclusively with Zefal's Z Console cases for secure attachment.
How do I attach the mount to my bike?
The mount uses a simple O-ring system that attaches around your stem or handlebars without the need for tools.
Can I charge my phone while it's in the case and mounted?
This depends on the specific Zefal Z Console case model. Some cases may allow for cable access, while others might not. Please refer to the specifications of the individual case.
What other Zefal accessories can I use with this kit?
The Zefal Bike Kit is compatible with other Zefal Console mounting accessories, such as the Z Armband, Z Car, and Z Handlebar mounts.
How secure is the locking system?
The system features an effective locking mechanism designed to keep your phone securely attached in any riding situation, including rough terrain.
Troubleshooting
Phone mount feels loose
Ensure the O-ring is correctly and tightly fitted around the stem or handlebars. Check for any obstructions preventing a secure fit.
Case is difficult to attach or detach
Align the case precisely with the mount. Ensure there is no debris in the locking mechanism. Apply firm, even pressure for attachment and press the release mechanism for detachment.
Water ingress into the case
Check that the case is fully closed and sealed. Inspect the case for any cracks or damage that could compromise its waterproof integrity. Ensure the phone is properly seated inside the case before closing.
Mounting bracket doesn't fit desired location
Verify that the diameter of your handlebars or stem is within the compatible range for the O-ring attachment. Consider alternative mounting locations if available.
