This is a well made metal cup holder for a bike (or, in my case, my Super Turbo 1000-Lithium Electric Scooter "BLUE"). It''s a pretty straight forward item. It attaches right to the handle bars and holds a cup firmly. There is an inner rubber liner that grips the cup to keep it from moving around or flying out. So, it definitely works great for cups. I specifically use it periodically to hold Jamba Juice cups and it works very well for this. Note that Jamba Juice cups are especially fragile.
Ok, so all that said there is one downside. It doesn''t hold canned drinks or any type of cylindrical container. The container must be cone shaped and big enough to sit in the holder. So, don''t buy this if you are expecting it to hold a can.
One other small thing, I would have liked for it to fold down out of the way when not in use. It doesn''t fold down. For the price, I wouldn''t have expected that feature. It''s also well made, installs easily and works great for the cups that fit. Also, my handle bars have a number of straight spots. So, this cup holder may not work on the curved racing style handle bars.
This cup holder is a good deal for the price. It is half of what I''ve paid for similar coffee holsters. The rubber shims included are hard to install and were still flimsy and easily moved unless clamped to bars 25.4 or wider. lots of bars taper to closer to 22mm after the stem clamp. I think I will venture to the hardware store and find a suitable replacement for these shims for a few dollars. The cup holder design itself is pretty light and seems solid. It would be nice if it pivoted but you must have a horizontal flat bar to clamp to.

Installing this was difficult, because it did not really fit on my handlebars I had to use an extra rubber piece from another item I had ordered, but once I had it screwed on tightly, it works well even fits the extra large Dunkin Donuts coffee cups, which is what I got it for.
