I've watched all of the Chigee review videos on KZfaq, and yours stands out as the most transparent and honest. I appreciate your straightforward video style-no fancy editing or flashy music, just plain, simple, and informative content. Well done! You've gained yourself another subscriber. Looking forward to more videos from you!

Thanks for the sub mate, I try my best to be honest with all my videos whether reviewing a bike or kit that is sent to me, too many channels out there just wanting to sound like a late night shopping channel seller :). Ive got some more CarPlay style products being sent to me in the coming weeks so I'll be comparing them to the Chigee once it's installed.

It is almost like it was designed primarily for a motor vehicle rather than a motorcycle. Fixed and hard wired head unit is the killer for this, along with the price, no way will people pay over £600 for this. Except for the blind spot thing, what do you really get extra, if you already have comms, smart phone and action camera. More clutter and possibly more to distract you whilst riding. My other concern would be, over a period of time, how will the vibration affect this unit? Respect once again sir, for your honesty, genuine opinions and views on the product......Refreshing!

@DSR1YT 6 ай бұрын

It’s one of them, there is some decent features provided but it’s not a perfect product, they need to do a version 2 which could make it really good if done properly. Glad you liked my honest approach with this one. Thought I’d say what the other channels clearly aren’t mentioning 😁🤙🤙

I agree to a degree but for me i have a single bike (Tracer 7) and i am missing the carplay features and would love the camera and tpm system and gps, and should i go out and buy those different unit it would quickly cost the same (at least at the currently reduced price) and they wouldnt tie into the same system. This unit ticks all the boxes for me, as i havent found any gloves that reliably work with my iphone and this comes as the full package. When i trade the bike in 3-8 years, then i can take this system with me if its still worth it. And in the group i know with bikes, most have a single bike that they use for years.

It´s a shame that Garmin couldn´t come up with a integral solution for people to have maps, rearview and front view cameras, recording option, audio, etc., I mean they already have the platform, the users and clients. I bought a cheap screen with a camera some time ago in Amazon, it lasted only a couple of months, then went bad. But this sounds like a good solution. The price tough it´s a bit high for what they offer.

Really good review that Honest and transparent, thanks. Chigee must have contacted hundreds of Vloggers so as to make it a little bit annoying now when your favourite channel appears with this. However this video explains much more than most i.e. how its a start up company (Red Flag) and the cost of the added extras. I think some will regret plugging this as I fear it will not go into mass production. It's as expensive as a BMW Nav VI which is over priced too but proven, can be dethatched and has back up customer service. The fact that this can't be dethatched is actually ridiculous, it wouldn't last after the first trip to Aldi to pick up bread where I live or in most towns and Cities in the UK for that matter. Nobody doesn't leave their bike unattended at some point as for leaving it overnight, you may as well leave £600 in cash on the seat.

Thanks Barry. The people on here who have said someone wouldn’t bother stealing it because they wouldn’t take the time to take all the wires clearly doesn’t understand people cut off the bmw TFT screens and don’t worry about the wires with that 😁. Any of these Chinese companies that offer me commission for sales, I refuse to put my name down for commission. I’ll take the product for review and offer the advice to people on what I think of it. It’s up to them if they want to buy it there after. Also I’m going to start doing giveaways with all the products I get sent and don’t end up using myself full time 😁. Time for me to start giving back you you guys 🤙

Excellent assessment of Chigee. This is a crowd funded startup, the product is way over priced for what it is today, they have R&D to pay for and some headcount so they need lots of money from early adopters hence all the add-ons that are also over priced. There is no integration with the bike OBDII port as of yet, only an indication of one down the road but at what cost? This thing could get very very expensive and price itself out of the market. I like the idea behind it but I'll wait to see if they survive and if there is OBD integration in the future, the unit does need to be removable and the GPS should be integrated into the head unit. "LITE" implies there is going to be another version at some point. I would wait and see before jumping in and potentially ending up with a very expensive orphan.

So just this week I’ve actually been able to get around to installing it, and soon I’ll be getting it out for its first test run. Assessment so far is the unit was easy to install, touchscreen is better than some of the other units I’ve been sent by other companies, yet to try out the BSD. As a whole so far i like the idea of everything it offers, it wouldn’t just be nice if the price was a little lower, maybe it will come down as time goes on. The unit needs to be remove-able, agreed on the GPS front, just put it in the unit and it saves another wire and another item being installed somewhere on the bike. Time will tell how this company progress and expand.

Cheers for the honest review, I’m not so worried about theft or permanent on the bike. I did wonder about them being a start-up and the number of software updates that come out for your phone meaning there’s got to be some maintenance and what comes in say iOS 18 in 7months time.

The 2 things that make this potentially really good for me is that they sell a mount which would enable me to fit it instead of the Garmin satnav into the dash of my K1600GTL, and they do a canbus interface which is supposed to allow you to control it via the "wonder-wheel" dial on the handlebar. Once in the dash, it would be secure from theft (you have to raise the electric windscreen before you can pop up the satnav enclosure). I have to say, I'm tempted, as my Garmin unit has become unreliable anyway, and I was already looking at fitting dashcams front and rear.

And i was looking at the Vantrue F1. I have their other cams in my cars and pic quality is good day and night. I was just wondering what the day and night recordings are like on the chigee. No one has posted any test videos in their reviews. Thanks
