is it loud enough to hear on a motorcycle?

I listened to this speaker at Best Buy today, and would say definitely not. The UE mini Boom was shockingly loud however, so you might want to give that one a try. I am not a speaker expert... I just listened to the speakers available at the store, and based on that, this is the best advice I can give.

Durability may be the bigger question. I haven't had a clone speaker that's lasted more than a week!

The speakers are loud enough for indoor listening but not for outdoor use (such as in a big party setting or outdoor grill parties). You'll need something louder than this.

To answer your question we strapped the speaker to our Vino 50cc scooter and rode around with Spotify on full blast. Could barely hear the music during idle, nothing at speed. But it sounded just fine while the scooter was off and we were changing the oil...

Don't ride a motorcycle but would guess it is not loud enough to hear. My best guess.

I would look for another option like something designed for a helmet. Some of these comments made me laugh--funny:)

Yep. It works great with a helmet. More than just loud, it sounds better so you don't need to crank it up so much.

No, I don't think it works good. We put it on our Harley and we can't even hear it. It's really low.

Probably not. While its loud enough to hear clearly from the other end of my apartment I would think you would need something significantly louder to hear from a greater distance outdoors.

You can definitely hear it. It's not terribly loud. I put it on an anti slip pad and it cuts the vibrations.

Depends on how loud you need it to be. I fly I c130 aircraft and I can't hear it in the plane, but i can hear it when i fly in the sim.

I don't think it would be heard over loud music. But this can be hooked up to an external speeder.

I used them in my van and I barely heard them with the windows down.I doubt you'll be able to listen on a motorcycle

This speaker would not be sufficient for motorcycle use. I use it on a road bicycle when riding by myself and it works OK, but even then the wind noise sometimes is to much for it. Add an engine and it would be next to useless. In general, the speaker does sound very good.

Yes sir. That's what it is made for. Take out the silencer and it gives it a nice tone! Not as loud as I hoped but for any louder than this will get u, u will have to use a header and retune ur bike

Not sure but they are loud, I use them in a motorcycle, awesome for its size

I never tested to see how loud it could get, but the louder i made it go, the worse it sounded. you should be able to hear it withinn 10-20 ft. w/o any issues; you just might not like what you hear. I purchased it for music; sports or news may be OK.

I use it in my helmet on my Harley, and it has plenty of output. I do use ear buds rather than the included headphones, better with wind and helmet issues.

Yes it will be loud enough. I would recommend the logitec UE mini boom over the solemate mini though.

Hi Shawn, this speaker would definitely NOT be loud enough on a motorcycle. It's loud enough to mount to a golf cart windshield, but not for a motorcycle. Hope this helps. Dan

Not sure I am using it on my motorcycle. ..I ran a switch with a fuse and it works great great sound though.
