HERE ARE SOME QUICK TIPS ABOUT PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENT!

Invest In A Lock:

• Cable Locks are the most common locks on the market, however, U-Locks tend to provide much better security. If possible, invest in two locks!
• Always lock your Bike even when it is at home, more bicycle thefts occur at home than any other place
• Never lock your bike to aluminum posts, chain link fences, small trees or wooden posts, they are easy to break!

Electric Bike? Keys?

• some of the most common mistakes E-bike owners experience with Batteries that require the keys to be on the battery during operation is that they leave the keys on the battery at all times, even when they leave the bicycle unattended.  This is a bad thing for 2 reasons, 1. if you lose those keys, along with your spare, you will have to have a new set of keys made. and that's if you're able to find a locksmith that makes them, we do not keep a copy. 2. if a thief walks by and sees this, he can easily steal the bicycle or the battery, and batteries can range up to 350$ or more.

GPS or Tracking Device:

• Adding a GPS tracking device does not sound like such a bad idea, and depending on what you decide to go with, there are affordable options and some that are a bit more expensive.
• TheTileApp - Tile is a small Golf ball size tile that has a Bluetooth signal of up to 100ft. The Tile app syncs the Tile to your phone and lets you know where your tile is, it even makes a sound so you know when you're close. The app even allows you to set up a search party, which sends a signal to any tile app users in the area, the users can then send you a message or update about the location. It is tiny enough to place almost anywhere. 1 Tile costs about 25$ and the Tile App can communicate with about 8 different tiles.
• Kryptonite Lock - Kryptonite is a device that works very similar to "Lojack",
