TomTom announces the Rider Premium Pack, a new accessory pack for both bikes and cars. The new additions to the existing package include an anti-theft lock, a travel carry case and a car mounting kit.
The anti-theft solution is a special locking device which secures the GPS in place aboard the bike and gives you peace of mind during short stops and eliminates the fuss of un-mounting the Rider and carrying it with you.
With the travel carry case, your Tom Tom Rider will be much safer and well protected against shocks until ready to be mounted on the bike. At the same time, if you plan to use the Rider for walks and similar non-motorcycle activities, the case is as natural as it gets.
Finally, the car mounting kit allows you to use this great GPS in more places than aboard your two-wheeled beasts. With an integrated speaker, you can now hear the spoken instructions of the Rider over music playing inside the car or conversations.
TomTom Rider features:
The Rider Premium package retails for £429.95 ($691 or €511), while the Rider kit without the extras is £349.99 ($562 or €416).
