Bike-to-Bike Radio Recommendation?


Recommended Posts

Hi folks,

I'm looking for radios for me and my brother for when we go out riding, I've looked at most bluetooth headsets and find that they all have the same issues - require line of sight to work, which is a pain when you could be separated driving through a city and all it takes is a sprinter van to break up communication!

Is their any bike-to-bike radios that use UHF or suitable means other than bluetooth?

They are ok best with line of sight they won't just stop working with a van between you


The wife goes through the house to open the back gate and we can still talk through the headset

Bluetooth nominal range is about 10 metres and will pass through several brick walls easily so a sprinter van will not interfere with the signal, most bike intercom units easily exceed that. Scala units quote approx 1 mile.

If you get a Harley FLHTCU you could enjoy CB communication.

Since the range of Bluetooth is so small, they must only be using Bluetooth to connect the headset to phones/satnavs. To achieve usable range, they must be using another technology, probably just VHF with some digital encoding going on for the pairing.

A group of us round here use Scala PackTalk they work quite well the DMC bridge works well if there are several bikes. I do think there is a market for something allot better than whats available...
