Bargain Zumo motorbike satnav



Was/is £280 elsewhere

£129 at Aldi, Bargain, a better solution than faffing about with different mobile cases on the bike.

Battery life of 1 hour! That can't be right surely?

Does it do live traffic?

I'll be going to Aldi tomorrow! But looking at the website it's sold out online and in the shops from Mar 20th 2016, so not hopeful of it being in stock.

At the till now, just drove over.
It's still showing as 199 on the shelf but 129 at the till.
Thanks for the heads up, only one in stock.

I have no idea, download the pdf from the sportsbikeshop link and have a look for yourself, traffic doesn't matter on a bike anyway...

I reckon they may say that to generate demand as I clicked on the link and it said one remaining, purchased one, clicked on link again and it was out of stock but then refreshed it and it said one left again!

[CoolHands]

I just rode to two shops round here and none in stock. Purchased online (it said one left online! I was panicking, but maybe it is just a ruse)

[cat with a hat]

I purchased one about an hour ago and there were only 2 left online

[CoolHands]

I've always thought they're stupidly expensive hence I've never bought one. And I've dropped various car ones off my bike on occasion over the years; I even manager to get one run over once, crushed to smithereens before I could rescue it from the middle of the road

So at £129 I think it's time I got one, hope it turns up!

[Rutter]

I was bought a 340LM a few years back, its great and well worth £130.

I'm not 100% sure but I think you need a different lead than the one supplied to receive live traffic,

With a fixed lead and all the bracketry you'll need

An update, mine arrived today, sort of, opened the box, removed the leads/instruction manuals and fitting kits, lifted the divider out of the box and there was no bloody satnav in the box!

One phone call to Aldi customer services later they located me the last one in stock within 30 miles and off I went to Lancaster to collect it, bit of a pain but the tenner in fuel it cost me was well worth it, as it still worked out an absolute bargain, I expected a bit of grief as I could have just taken the nav out of the box and said it wasn't in the box but they happily gave me another complete boxed unit.

Its a solid bit of kit, those with sports bikes may want to invest in a telferiser ram mount ball thingy that fits in the headstock nut, makes fitting a doddle. http://www.telferizer.com/index.php

And as an aside the new Bay Gateway (from the M6 to Mcdonalds in Morecambe) takes 3 minutes, rather than a minimum 15 minute (usually 30) slog into Lancaster then across the river, its brilliant

Mine arrived today too. I haven't opened it yet! Was going to be a Christmas present but now I will have to check...

Just ordered one for 215 Minor's Christmas.

This currently on the Lightning Deal at £18.39, only 2.5 hours remaining. If only I hadn't spent waaay too much other bike stuff this month
