Everything you need to know about magnets
We get asked many questions every day about the reliability of our magnets. Indeed, with a completely unprecedented concept, it's natural to find a few skeptics...
But don't worry! We're here to reassure you and, above all, help you understand the reliability of Shapeheart magnets! We'll explain everything!
Does it hold...
The answer is YES!
This patented magnetic system holds up to 50 times the weight of your smartphone. The mount provides excellent stability, regardless of road conditions (cobblestones, potholes...).
Completely harmless to your phone, the magnets are positioned between two iron plates that cut the magnetic field at the phone level.
A truly all-terrain magnet!
Even on a bike, mountain bike, and BMX?
It's the first question we're usually asked. You can imagine that, given the price of smartphones, we made sure our magnets are powerful and resistant!
Tested on a racing circuit (at 226 km/h), in a wind tunnel (learn more about wind resistance here), on mountain bikes, BMX, cobblestones, highways and rough roads... No risk at all. Our magnetic system holds up to 8 kg, nearly 50 times the weight of a phone.
Rather than a long speech, just watch the video to be convinced:
What about motorcycles and scooters?
For motorcycles and scooters, it's speed that matters. And obviously, that's not a problem.
To date, the speed record with a Shapeheart magnetic mount is 270 km/h on a German motorway. Theoretically, with our largest sleeve, it would take a speed of 285 km/h to tear the phone away from the 8 kg (80N) of force holding it to the handlebar. If you're in the mood for physics calculations, all the details are here.
What about running?
Whether on our website, by email, or at trade shows, the question always comes up:
"Won't it fall off?", "But does it really hold?" etc...
So to prove it to you, we asked a professional Parkour athlete to put our magnetic system to the ultimate test.
