In the UK, there are 400,000 bicycle thefts per year, with a recovery rate of 1%. Bicycle identification has been mandatory since 1 January 2021, but there is an even more effective solution: the Trackap tracker. This system works like a GPS tracker but uses the telephone network. It is the most reliable and accurate way to find your bicycle. This system connects directly to your bicycle's battery, inside the frame. This makes it discreet and impossible to detect, which is its strength. As soon as the bicycle is moved, you will know. The Trackap application provides a history of your journeys and also tells you when your machine needs servicing. You will appreciate this system's security feature. You can be notified if your bicycle is moved, allowing you to take immediate action. If it is stolen during the night, for example, you can activate the notification feature, which will send you a code that you can share with the police to help you find your bicycle. The battery life is approximately 3 hours. But don't worry, as soon as the bike moves again and the battery is recharged, you will receive a movement notification. So you can be sure that, sooner or later, you will find your bike.
Trackap carried out an anonymous theft test.
In less than 15 days, the bike was found with the help and support of the police.
