Last week was Blue Rider present at the Motor Fair in Milan, where we got to admire some exciting new developments. One of the most notable innovations was the Chigee AIO6, the latest addition to the lineup from Chigee, known for their popular Apple and Android CarPlay integration. Set to hit the market in 2025, the AIO6 is a 6-inch version that promises to revolutionize motorcyclists worldwide.
What's new about the Chigee AIO6?
The Chigee AIO6 is not simply a successor to its predecessors. This device is considerably more comprehensive and offers numerous new features that make motorcycling even safer and easier. Some of the new features that stand out are:
-
Real-Time Monitoring: For the first time, the Chigee AIO6 can monitor your motorcycle in real-time. This means you can always see how your bike is performing on the road, which helps you notice problems quickly and keep your ride safe.
-
SOS Alert: In the event of an emergency, the AIO6 can automatically send an SOS signal so you can be helped quickly when needed.
-
Anti-theft function: The AIO6 now offers an advanced anti-theft function. With built-in security, the device can help prevent your motorcycle from being stolen.
-
SIM Card Capability: The ability to insert a SIM card into the AIO6 ensures that you are always connected, even when riding in areas without direct internet connection.
-
Optional Camera Integration: For added security and convenience, you can integrate a camera into the AIO6. This can help record your rides or provide additional visibility.
-
Own GPS system: Another exciting addition is that the Chigee AIO6 has probably will be equipped with a proprietary GPS system. This means you will no longer depend on your smartphone for navigation, making the experience even more practical for motorcyclists who always want to follow the correct route on the road without being distracted by other devices.
The Chigee AIO6 gets a complete makeover
What makes the Chigee AIO6 truly special is not only the technology, but also the way the device is mounted. Chigee has taken an updated approach to mounting, which is a big improvement over previous models.
The AIO6 is fully compatible with the BMW cradle and works as we are used to with the "wonderwheel," but the method of mounting is greatly modified. A velcro pad is placed between the cradle and the AIO6. This prevents the device from being locked in the cradle, increasing flexibility.
In addition, the AIO6 is positioned slightly further forward so that it passes the cradle, making for a smarter and more user-friendly installation. The new design makes the device a lot easier to install and use.
Enhancements for BMW
What is of particular interest to BMW drivers is the ability to expand the Chigee AIO6 with two cameras. These cameras can be connected to a special adapter placed between the cradle and the Chigee AIO6. This offers BMW riders even more options for safety and visibility, and makes the AIO6 an even more complete package for motorcyclists who want all the comforts of home.
Universal Mounting for Other Brands
Another great advantage of the Chigee AIO6 is its universal mounting option for other motorcycle brands. This makes the device attractive to a wider audience of motorcyclists, regardless of the brand of their bike. Whether you ride a Ducati, Harley Davidson, or any other brand, the Chigee AIO6 will easily integrate into virtually any motorcycle model.
What Does This Mean for Motorcyclists?
With the arrival of the Chigee AIO6, motorcyclists can look forward to a more comprehensive experience than ever before. The combination of technology, ease of use and safety makes this device an indispensable accessory for the modern motorcycle. Whether you are looking for more connectivity, safety or convenience during your ride, the AIO6 offers it all.
What Can We Expect in terms of Price?
Although the official price has not yet been announced, rumors are already circulating that the most comprehensive version of the Chigee AIO6 will be priced between the 800 and 1000 euros will be. This seems like a reasonable price for the extensive features and capabilities the device offers, especially considering additions such as camera integration, proprietary GPS and advanced security and monitoring tools.
All in all, the Chigee AIO6 is an impressive step forward, and Blue Rider is proud to present this innovation following our time at the Milan Motor Show. It looks like 2025 will be an exciting year for the motorcycle community!
