In order to help with potential recovery of bikes in the community, we are working to help provide users with options for adding trackers to their bikes. This offering is based on tracking devices using the Apple Find My network, so require the owner to have access to an iOS device in order to perform tracking.
For Android users, we recommend having a friend add the tags for you and assist when needed. The Apple Find My network is the only existing network with enough reach to be effective.
Our goal with this package is to ensure that a thief will fail to disable tracking even if they are aware the bike is being tracked. We’re offering this to the community because after several months of beta testing and iteration, we believe we’ve created a defense in depth approach that will achieve this goal.
We will work with you to install specially designed Apple Find My compatible trackers, adapted to be more difficult for thieves to find or remove. This will include an in-person installation visit, where we will set up and install the trackers with you, as well as helping you register your bike on BikeIndex. This bundle includes:
- Multiple Apple Find My compatible trackers, specialized to be more difficult for thieves to find and remove.
- Package of stickers to indicate that your bike has trackers installed
- BikeIndex QR code sticker, to further dissuade thieves, and help increase the chance of recovery.
- Additional security measure that will be disclosed in person
If your trackers fail for some reason, this package includes free replacement for the first 12 months.
Cost: $100
