The RiderScan

Post by Teamtd11 »

Just spotted this when flicking through Motorcycle Monthly and thought I would share it.

Looks pretty neat and it does not cost to much too.


And the website is here.

I think I will be getting one next time the budget can afford it. Though I have no idea how well it will work on the PCX should be nothing stopping it working?

I imagine on a sunny day it will be very annoying with more chance of catching a reflection of the sun and distracting you

Other than the reflection of sun and car headlights no I cant remember. If it was so great a product it would have been very popular by now.

It may not have been this exact same one but it was same principle of a central mounted mirror to give a wider field of view

It's too much of a distraction and the view it gives is very distorted.
Doesn't do anything that a quick glance over your shoulder can't do.

If you're rich you could try one of the Reevu helmets with a bolt in rear view mirror. Though it might suffer from the same problems as the RiderScan.
