Reviews over the

Beeline Velo 2

I only recently stumbled across the Beeline Velo 2 and checked out the app while I was on holiday before I bought the device. I am super satisfied. Be it simply that I want to record a route or that I want to be navigated. It works great, is very clear and simply what I wanted. The special offer from the retailer was also great, as the matching case was included. It was delivered within 2 days.

Used once so far and was very enthusiastic

Gravel use. Works perfectly for both recording and route-following.

I had the opportunity to test the Beeline and compare it with a Garmin 1040. The Garmin can do a lot but is cumbersome, the Beeline is fast, light and simple. My wishes: navigation and easy GPX import from Komoot with upload to Strava. My sports watch records heart rate (heart rate belt) and GPS track. The Beeline is a cycling computer that basically lets the phone do all the work. GPS signal, route calculations; everything happens on your phone. The Beeline itself is basically just a screen with a speaker. The Beeline beeps briefly before (+/- 100 m) and at junctions. The beep is loud enough. The app is very user-friendly in terms of creating routes and importing routes. There are direct links to Strava and Komoot for 'routes to bike' and 'routes cycled'. For routes you create in the app, there is automatic recalculation if you drive the wrong way. With an external GPX, the direction to your route is displayed and there is no recalculation. Loading a route from Komoot is quickly done and synchronisation is very fast. You can save the route in Komoot and immediately it is available in the Beeline app. The Beeline is always on my bike. When I go to bike, I set everything up on my phone and press 'Go'. As soon as you then accelerate the Beeline, it works immediately and you see the navigation on the screen without having to sync anything else or the like. The screen is perfectly readable in the sun. My phone's battery uses roughly 7% per hour of biking for the GPS. The Beeline itself has a battery that lasts about 10h. The only drawback I've found is that if you don't have internet when loading a new route, it won't work. But when do you not have internet these days? Meanwhile, I have cycled 250 km with it and am very enthusiastic. Whereas the 'real' bike computers regularly do not synchronise well or do not want to load routes, the Beeline has served me perfectly every time. No more Garmin for me.

Pros & Cons

Handy, compact and clear bike navigation. Actually it is a Bluetooth display with the free beeline app on your phone, without the phone the device does nothing. The screen is clear, when navigating it shows the road to ride and all side roads up to about 200 metres ahead on the route, a navigation arrow for the next turn and distance to that turn. A clear audible signal warns 100 and 20 metres ahead of the turn. Controls work fine. Many additional screens including one with climb profile of your ride and the current climb with difficulty in 3 colours, metres yet to climb and climb distance. Planning your ride in the accompanying app work well, with 3 route options or compass mode to your destination. Importing and exporting gpx routes is also possible.

Pros & Cons

easier operation does what it should, the app works perfectly.

Pros & Cons

Handy device. No problems with a topographical map appearing on your screen. Downloading routes takes some getting used to but is doable. Recording routes is easy.

Pros & Cons

I was a bit unsure on the Beeline Velo 2, looks small, got up and running very quickly, took a few minutes, both installing and understanding it, I don't need to have my phone on the handlebars, so happy, happy. I am incredibly impressed with the Beeline Velo 2, will get absolutely nowhere without it.

I bought the device because of the many positive reviews on YouTube, unfortunately the right button on my first device could not be pressed correctly when it was mounted, it was pressed down instead. After complaining, I received a new one, but it had exactly the same problems, so I simply couldn't use it.

The Android app version 4.2.5985 cannot save routes. Also tried on another phone, there my routes created from imported gpx files are not saved either. Contacted support several times, they keep asking for device details before they want to go into the substance of the issue. Annoyingly, the details they want to know are only copied invisibly to the "clipboard". You don't get to see that info in the app. Also irritating is when you ask a question through the web form, that in the email only answer is given, but the question is no longer shown. That way, I lose the thread of the conversation. One clear answer did come: "We don't support any turn instructions in GPX files". Once the support was completely off the mark: I don't have an iPhone and no battery problem. Since I can't save routes in the app, and didn't get any useful support after 3 days, the Velo 2 is returned to sender, without even opening the packaging.

Pros & Cons

Very nice navigation for the money that is very accurate. Gives 1 beep when almost turning and 2x beeps when you have to turn. Already made nice rounds that you can make dead easy via the Beeline app. You can also choose from various types of laps, more or less paved. Also communicates well with Strava.

Pros & Cons

Simple, clear, accurate

For me, this navigation device makes it easy to read all the information I need. Moreover, this device is a lot cheaper than other cycling navigation devices on the market and I personally like the design. Routes are easy to import/create yourself and when your ride is over, you post it on Strava with the push of a button.

Pros & Cons

I use it on my Ellipse bike for leisure trips in Paris and the suburbs. the brand offered a system that could be integrated into the handlebars without a screen and at a price that was too high. so I found the little Beepee box, which is similar to the system fitted on my previous Angell bike...

very easy , some learning to use though, easy to put away at bike stop

Pros & Cons

It's a perfect thing And it saves a lot of battery consumption now that your screen no longer has to be on your phone stays nice and snug in your pocket

Pros & Cons

Super handy bike navigation with well-functioning app. Links with strava, so rides can be seen in strava and rides in strava can be uploaded to the velo 2. The route guidance also works well and you don't see more than necessary. The sound signals at turns to be taken is super handy. You don't have to constantly look at the screen. You get 1 beep just before your turn and 2 beeps when you reach your turn. The cycling junction routes you create online can also be uploaded to your velo 2 as gpx. All in all, a nice complete and compact bike navigation.

Pros & Cons

I was looking for a simple navigation device that doesn't take up much space on/on the handlebars, bars. Previously I used the phone for this but was always afraid it would get damaged. For me, this is the perfect solution. Navigation works better than expected, also while using it during a gravel tour set out via gox. Today's trip of over 100km on unknown terrain, navigation was flawless. Battery of both the Beeline and my phone still over 75% after finishing.

Pros & Cons

Perfect replacement for your mobile phone and saves battery power. Great companion for people who prefer to follow the flow instead of exact turn-by-turn instructions.

It would be interesting to be able to import routes from Maps or other sources into the app...

I've been trying it out for several days now. It is easy to use. I even deliberately deviated from the route to see what would happen. I was shown that I was coming back to my planned route or an alternative route. I am very enthusiastic

Minimalist bike navigation device that is reduced to the core functions of navigation and provides you with optimum support in unfamiliar areas. It does not distract you and emits navigation signals in sound and on the display at the right time.

Unfortunately, it doesn't fulfil my expectations. You can only activate the device via your mobile phone. Also, the routes are often not good.

The velo 2 works quickly and perfectly. Lovely cycling without searching. If you deviate from the route, it immediately looks for new options.

I was sceptical! After just 20 kilometres I was proved wrong: the route guidance was precise with acoustic instructions, and I got on very well at home and abroad. There were hardly any to no reflections etc. on the display. My unreserved recommendation to buy (which has already found several happy users in the private sector!).

Does what it needs to do. For a small screen, it is really super clear what to do. Planned routes come in 3 options (quiet, fast, etc.) Quiet sometimes works out a bit differently than I would like, but I'm sure that's also to do with the learning curve.

Pros & Cons

Great little bike sat nav that shows me quickly, easily and effectively where to turn and when.

Previously had a Bosch Kiox. The display options are not as varied as with the Kiox, but the navigation is 1000 times better. Everything is very clear and precise. The surroundings and the route are very easy to read. However, I would like to be able to read the speed when navigating. But I would always prefer the Velo to the Kiox

Convenient Beeline application, pairs instantly with the computer. The beeps just before changes of direction are very useful.

Die Bedienung ist über die App relativ einfach. Das Importieren von Routen habe ich leider noch nicht ausprobiert.

Pros & Cons

Nice gadget small and handy
