Installing Your Moto II Powered Mount Insert

Keep your Moto II charged while you ride. The Powered Mount Insert (PMI) upgrades compatible mounts* to supply continuous power to your Moto II. 

Not compatible with the Universal Mount or original Moto mounts. 

 

What You’ll Need 

  • Powered Mount Insert
  • Extended mount insert bolts
  • M4 × 18 mm countersunk
  • M4 × 22 mm countersunk
  • 2 m 12V battery terminal cable
  • 2 × zip ties 

 

Tools Required 

  • 2.5 mm hex key (not included, to reduce waste). 
     If you don’t already have one, you can get one from beeline.co/hex-keys. 

 

Important Safety Note 

Before installation, switch off your motorcycle engine. 

 

Step-by-Step Installation 

1. Prepare the Mount 

  • Remove the existing mount insert.
  • For ease, install your mount on the bike first, then install the Powered Mount Insert inside it.
  • For mount-specific installation guides, see the relevant support articles.

2. Fit the Powered Mount Insert 

  • Place the PMI into the mount cavity.
  • Use the correct screw length supplied:
    • 22 mm for Mirror or Crossbar Mounts
    • 1 8 mm for all others
  • Ensure the cable runs cleanly from the top or bottom of the mount before tightening.

3. Access the Battery 

  • Locate your motorcycle battery (check your user manual if unsure).
  • If your bike already has an SAE wiring harness, skip to step 8.
  • In this case, you can use the PMI directly with the harness but must include the 1A fuse from the provided battery cable. 

 

4. Disconnect Battery Terminals 
  • Remove the bolts holding your existing battery terminals.

5. Connect the Wires 

  • Attach the red ring terminal to the positive (+) contact.
  • Attach the black ring terminal to the negative (–) contact.

6. Reattach Terminal Bolts 

  • Tighten the bolts securely to hold the terminals in place. 

 

7. Route the Cable 

  • Plan a neat cable run that avoids tension, sharp bends, or interference with steering/controls.
  • Depending on your bike, you may tuck the cable under the tank, along side panels, or behind fairings.
  • Use the included zip ties to secure the cable.
  • Leave ties loose until you’ve tested full left and right handlebar movement.
  • Tighten once correct slack is confirmed.

 

8. Connect the Power 

  • Plug the battery cable and PMI connectors together until fully seated. 

 

9. Test Charging 

  • Attach your Moto II to the mount.
  • Confirm the device shows it is charging. 

 

10. Finalise Installation 

  • Refit your seat (if removed) and you’re ready to ride! 🚀 

 

Technical Notes 

  • Moto II draws 5.4V, 0.5A max
  •   PMI converts 12V battery power → 5.4V.

Note: Never connect the Moto II directly to 12V, as this will damage the device. 

 

Auto Power Switching 

  • Charging starts automatically when the Moto II is attached.
  • The device will trickle charge even with the ignition off.
  • To switch charging off, remove the device.
  •   If storing the bike for long periods, disconnect the SAE connector.
