Bikefinder, We review it then test it by purposely stealing the bike that its fitted to.

[@stuartcareless9550]

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.

[@TheYorkshireBikeMechanic]

Hi, Thanks for watching and your comments, could be a bosch connectmodule

[@nicholassmith6533]

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.

[@TheYorkshireBikeMechanic]

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

[@Chaos666Theory]

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

[@andrewheale4738]

Just put a dummy plug on the other side of the handlebars.

[@matthewlaw8268]

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.

[@TheYorkshireBikeMechanic]

Hi Matthew, I was really pleased with how it works too. thanks for watching.

[@claremontinteriorsmw]

may i ask how you wired it in Did it mean drilling holes in the bars, to pick up power

[@Josiecat710]

brilliant!

[@Michael-Nic]

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

Thank you

[@spartaaca6041]

Can batter last about whole month in passiv mode, and if it is stolen and put soemwhere where there is no signal would gps still track it or it need to have some other device around or internet and how correct is location when it shows like if bike stop moving he will be there? And could u recomend some other gps without subrcribtion and which one is the best for u but honestly say which one not the one u work with

[@TheYorkshireBikeMechanic]

Hi, it will need a charge every 2 weeks, if the gps signal was blocked by putting it into a metal container you would not find it. The only tracker units that are detectable are ones that have rf frequency modes.

[@spartaaca6041]

@TheYorkshireBikeMechanic ahaa how better is it than apple air tag bcs i have air tags for my bicklyes and i wonna secure them more and if i put signal in sensiv mode will it lead me or show me exectly where bike is ?

[@alanhiggins6059]

Bike finder look very good product how would you compare bosh module tracking also alarm

[@TheYorkshireBikeMechanic]

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.

[@gregmcdermott8838]

Hi quick question i just picked one up myself just wondering could you help me when i was connecting the bluetooth to the tracker in the app it won't connect it is fully charged green light on when trying to connect blue light comes on

Looks like trackhead is a much better option, since it has no subscription fee. As for the insurance, if your bike is worth enough to justify a GPS tracker, it should probably be insured anyway, and it will be cheaper to insure it at a proper insurance company than paying a monthly fee for the tracker.

[@NarrativeOfLifeM]

Insurance companies do not insure the bike if the value is greater than 4500 euros in my country unless they have a gps tracker. At some point you start to feel your pockets are being drained to make you feel safe :D

[@LatvianPagan999]

What device you could suggest for low bars?

[@TheYorkshireBikeMechanic]

Hi, thanks for watching and your comments. this unit will fit in drop bars

[@neilhawkins7021]

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?

[@TheYorkshireBikeMechanic]

Hi, Thanks for watching and your comments, yes you do but it lasts a decent amount

[@anver97]

What about an apple Airtag or Samsung smart tag instead?

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...

This is a good gps unit and all but it's just best to insure your bike above its value. This way you will get what your bike is worth from insurance.

So I have to cut my expensive handlebars oddly, then have my grip not seated properly which puts all strain on the locked on part of the grip, then I have to take grip off weekly to charge it lol. All for £170 plus yearly subscription. Drop me out.

Hi, Thanks for watching and your comment.

[@stevesracingbits]

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

[@peternicholls6532]

In my opinion it would be better installed in the seat post rather than the handle bars... that's where I would put mine anyway :)

[@BEM880]

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.

[@peternicholls6532]

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

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

[@TheYorkshireBikeMechanic]

Hi, Thanks for watching and your comments

[@adeharris4457]

In my opinion this types of tracker is useless as we all know when a bike is stolen it will be taken into a building or shed, so when you arrive at the location with a 45ft radius due to the limitation of the GPS you wouldn't know what building the bike was in, the police won't be willing to knock on several doors to search several buildings for the bike. Unless the device also has RF technology on top of gps it's absolutely useless

[@edt5276]

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.
