Bicycle Tracker

Secure your bike with our patent pending bicycle tracker, hidden in your bikes handlebar.

With our patent pending locking mechanism, you will be able to secure the bike tracker inside the bicycles handlebar.

Its very difficult for unauthorized people to find the hidden GPS for bike inside the handlebar. In addition, it is attached to the inside of the tube so that no one can tamper with the locking mechanism from the outside. The bike tracker can only be removed if you have a special tool that we have designed ourselves completely.

A bicycle tracker with global range!

Our GPS for bike gets location from satellites and can not be compared with regular bluetooth trackers

This means that you can follow the location of your bicycle from New York to Los Angels and further down to Cape Town in South Africa. There is no limitation in distance between you and the tracker.

Million of bikes are stolen each year!

Bikes are easy to steal. The National Bike Registry reports that 1,5 million bikes are stolen each year.  Thousands of bicycles disappear everyday in the United States and the insurance never covers the full cost of the bike. In fact, most bicycle insurances are reduced to 50% of the value after the first 3 years. If you have an expensive or special made bike, its critical if it get stolen.

It’s time to put an end to it, and our bicycle tracker may help to do just that.

Tail it Bike GPS Tracker

Our GPS Trackers uses large ceramic antennas to get locations from satellites. We use a state-of-the-art GPS chipset that use both GPS and GLONASS (Russian) satellites to triangulate location.

Our Tail it bicycle tracker also includes a WIFI chipset and WIFI antenna to triangulate locations from WIFI routers indoor and in dense areas where the roof or tall buildings are blocking the sky.

These two methods of location update will cross-check with LBS location to give you accurate location both outdoor and indoor.

The hardware

2-step molding of the inside housing part makes it completely dust and waterproof. Our bike tracker have an IP rating of IP67 which means its 100% waterproof. This is more expensive than the normal way of producing products, but will leave you with a high quality product.

One size fits all

Since the base of the tracker is only 15mm wide with expansion out to 24mm and flexible, the tracker fits almost all bikes. The charging port is on the end so you don’t have to remove the tracker from the handlebar to charge it. And the power button is hidden inside the tube, so you’re not able to turn it off without removing the tracker with the special tool.

Stuck and steady!

The locking mechanism that is removed from the image above is made by elastic materials. This removes vibration for the electric part of the tracker and makes it impossible to remove. So even if someone discovers the tracker, they will never be able to remove it.

Motion detector!

As soon as someone touches your bike, the bicycle tracker will send you a push notification in the Tail it app. The accelerometer will also be used to update location if someone steals your bike.

Long battery time

Our GPS for bike has more than 5 weeks battery life on a single charge when in passive mode.  When someone touches your bicycle, the tracker will wake up and start sending locations. The tracker will notify you when it leaves and arrives at the places you insert in the application.

Live tracking

Another important feature in our bicycle tracker is the live tracking. This works in the same way as all of our other trackers. It updates location every 5 seconds, so if someone steals your bike, you can follow their movements in realtime.

Competitors

There are already several types of bicycle trackers on the market. The first tracker came on the market in the early 2000s. Hidden in the backlight or as an additional device that you attached to the frame. Tail it Bike is a bicycle tracker that is specially designed for bikes, hidden in the handlebar. It’s small and extremely light so you won’t notice that it is there.

Bicycle locks can’t be trusted

If you have an expensive bike, you’re probably already tried a few different bicycle locks. It is a small hurdle for bicycle thieves, and could probably save your bike from being randomly taken by a pedestrian walking past it. Unfortunately, people going after bikes to steal them, are usually not hindered by these locks. Last week I came across this channel on YouTube. He’s called “LockPickingLawyer”, and what he does is that he reviews various locks and tests their security.

He bought a Bicycle lock for 55$, and it’s no ordinary lock. It’s made out of kevlar and steel. Should be unbreakable, right? The answer is no. He went to home depot, and got the cheapest pliers he could find. It took him two seconds to break the lock that is valued at 55$ to keep your bike safe. A bicycle tracker might be the best chance you’ve got to keep your bike safe. It won’t stop your bike from getting stolen, but if that bicycle lock gets cut and a thief runs away with it, you have the bicycle tracker available to keep track of it.

Conclusion for the Bicycle tracker

For owners of expensive bikes, this will not guarantee you that your bike won’t get stolen. If your child is using the device in his / her bike, it won’t guarantee that they remember where they parked it when they went out to play. But having the bicycle tracker there in the bike, will help you follow along and it might save your bike from being lost in these situations.

If you ever find yourself in a position where someone has stolen your bike, go to the police. Don’t follow it directly to the thief, because that might be dangerous.
