Use paasive mode and charge every 10 to 12 weeks. Read the instructions youll find battery get to 40% it semd notification. I charge mine every three weeks. Best buy and great value. Designed and manufactured in Norway

I have just been on holiday, The hotel offered Ebike use. I took one out she said don't worry if you get a problem we will come and get you they are tracked. When I got back from the ride she showed me the whole route I had ridden. Not sure what tracker it was but it was brilliant.

I like the look of this. I would never want to chop the bars though. They need to design a retention system that fits flush or recessed.

Hi, I don't think cutting 10mm of the end that its fitted to causes a problem, small price to pay for the benefit

I'd just make a hole in the grip. Nobody's going to think anything of it.

I have this and its great, I also chopped my bar down 10mm to even them out and wired it into my ebike so it doesnt need charging.

Try gripper paste under lock on grips to stop corrosion on alloy bars. Not grease for obvious reasons.

Hi, Thanks for watching and your comments. The bikefinder is much more difficult to find if you are a thief but needs a charge every couple of week. The connect module is limited to smart systems only but works well, Bosch have developed the smart lock too. not every manufacture makes a motor cover to fit though.

Looks like a great product. Wish they were available in the USA. Hopefully soon.

Hi. Quick question. Can you help everyone by using punctuation?

Yes but...... How do you charge it? You install it by putting the grip back on...... Do you have to take the grip off every time you need to charge?

If your frame is metal that may not work because the seat tube will act like a Faraday cage and block the signal. On the handlebar you have the receiver sticking out the end so it's not an issue. Might work on a carbon fiber frame though.

Hi, yes, battery should last about 12 days before a charge if left in standard mode, but it does depend on if the bike is stood or being ridden as the unit will sleep if not moved

To be honest, I'd just let the opposite handle bar grip hangover rather than cut the bar down.

Just cut your bar down slightly and it will be even each side not a big deal really

Would be great if owner could buy product, set up account, and then only pay to track device AFTER that is needed. Recurring fees in perpetuity make me want to 🤮. I purchase things so that I own THEM, not so they can own me. P.S. We give insurance companies MORE money than they give us back. That's how insurance works. That's how they are able to stay in business. Insurance is nothing more than a way to buy something once, and then proceed to slowly pay for it twice, in hopes that they MIGHT give you a portion of your 2nd purchase price back. Insurance is nothing more than gambling. If you want to gamble, go to Las Vegas and get free drinks out of it.

Great video and a top tracker, it one word of assistance on your video making. Learn to look at the CAMERA, not your pretty face on the screen. As an audience member watching the video it’s sooooo obvious you’re looking at yourself. Takes some practice, but if you learn this you’ll be looking at your audience and they’ll feel more connected to you.
