Full bikefinder review, tested to the max, seriously, the best bike finding system we have ever tried.
Bike insurance offered at an extra cost to the tracking subscription.
Unique security screws & tool provided to fit the tracker.
A great product that’s works as it should.

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

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.

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

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

I never have a problem finding my Cube ebike.. It has been back and forth to the bike shop since January... Now off to the original seller to see if they can sort the problem.. Bike with the latest Bosch motor etc.... Shuts down after a few minutes or won't start at all.. LBS has the Bosch software etc but has not been successful.. Worst €5500 spent in my life...

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.

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.
