Polyimide Heater for Motorcycle Handlebars

Jan 06,2026

Winter motorcycle riding can be tough, especially when your hands get cold. Cold hands can make it hard to control your bike safely. Polyimide (PI) film heaters offer a new way to keep your hands warm—they are thin, efficient, and very reliable.

 

Why Choose Polyimide?

 

Polyimide heaters are made from a thin, flexible film that can easily fit onto your handlebars. Here's what makes them special:

 

Thin and Light: The heater is only about 0.1–0.2mm thick, so it doesn't change the feel of your grips.

 

Works in Extreme Temperatures: It performs well in temperatures from -40°C to 200°C, so it's suitable for all weather conditions.

 

● Even Heating: Heat spreads smoothly across the grip, with no hot or cold spots.

 

Low Electrical Interference: It won't affect your motorcycle's electronic systems.

 

How It Works on Your Motorcycle

 

There are two easy ways to control the heat:

 

1. External Control: Use a handlebar-mounted switch to select your preferred temperature setting.

 

2. Built-in Control: The heater can include a temperature sensor that adjusts the heat automatically.

 

Both options are designed for simple installation and everyday use.

 

Performance Highlights

 

In tests, the polyimide heater showed impressive results:

 

● Fast Warm-Up: Reaches 30°C+ in just 30 seconds.

 

 Steady Heat: Maintains a consistent temperature during rides.

 

 Low Power Use: Only uses 15W per side (at 12V), so it won't drain your battery.

 

Built to Last and Keep You Safe

 

These heaters are made to handle the demands of riding:

 

 Durable Design: Built to resist vibrations and wear.

 

● Safety Features: Includes protections against overheating and electrical issues.

 

● Weather Resistant: Can handle rain, dust, and changing road conditions.

 

Polyimide heaters are a smart upgrade for winter riding. They keep your hands warm without adding bulk or complexity. Whether you ride daily or just on weekends, this technology makes cold-weather rides safer and more comfortable.
