HOW IT WORKS
Our goal is to give riders an affordable, easy to use tool that allows them to use their motorcycle for what it was made for, but still stay out of trouble by avoiding tickets and chases.
We use some of the best existing radar detector models made for cars, and modify them to work perfectly for your motorcycle.
- Small discreet mounts that wont interfere with your gauges, steering, or ruin the look of you bike
- Modified to be water resistant
- Bright LED visual alerts that are easily visible - No beeps or sound to listen for over your bike's engine, exhaust, or wind noise
Radar for Speed Enforcement
Radar is the primary tool law enforcement uses for speed enforcement because it is versatile and practical. It can monitor multiple lanes at once and is less affected by weather. Radar guns can be used from both moving and stationary vehicles. Radar equipment is also more cost-effective, which is why it is the default choice for most police departments.
Radar can accurately measure vehicle speeds up to ~1,500 feet away (the "kill zone") however the radar signals continue to travel much further than this.
Our radar detectors alert riders to police radar signals before they reach the officer's "kill zone". When a signal is detected, a visual alert gives the rider warning ahead of time to slow down before entering the "kill zone".
What about false alerts?
How much warning will my radar detector provide?
The range of a radar detector depends on conditions. On open, flat roads with a direct signal, you might receive alerts from over 5 miles away. In more challenging conditions—like hills, curves, or areas with heavy tree cover, the warning distance may be shorter.
Factors that affect detection range:
• Sensitivity of the detector
• Direction the officer's radar antenna is aimed
• Terrain features that can block radar signals, such as hills, trees, and curves versus open areas
LASER/LIDAR
Whereas Radar can be thought of as a floodlight covering a large area, Laser is just as the name implies, a smaller laser beam. Laser/Lidar is not used as often as radar because it has more limitations. It must be used while the officer is sitting still and aiming carefully, which makes it harder to use. . It also does not work well in rain, fog, or dusty conditions because the beam can scatter or get blocked. Lidar equipment also costs more, so fewer police departments use it. If a rider does encounter lidar, motorcycles usually take longer to get a speed reading because they are smaller and reflect less of the beam back to the gun. Our detectors will warn you as soon as they are hit with the LIDAR beam, giving the rider time to react before a speed reading is taken.
