If you’ve always wanted a security tracker for your pride and joy but been put off by the price, BikeTrac could have the answer. They’ve got a new slimmed-down version of their tracking unit called BikeTrac Lite which gives riders the same GPS and radio frequency tracking features as their top-spec unit but at a reduced outlay.
“We are delighted to be able to bring this new simplified product to market,” BikeTrac’s Bill Taylor told MCN.
“While our premium device is still very much a market-leader thanks to its feature-rich functionality and impeccable recovery results over the last decade, for some time we’ve been keen to bring a slimmed down version to the market for lower-value machines. We’ve tried hard to make cost much less of an issue for riders looking for truly effective motorcycle security.”
What you don’t get with the Lite is access to the premium version’s handy app and web portal that provides real-time monitoring, journey history and notifications such as a low battery warning. But you can still relax in the knowledge that your bike is being monitored by the BikeTrac team and if it gets moved without your knowledge, you’ll get a text notification to alert you to what is going on.
“With BikeTrac Lite, we’ve been able to slim down the additional functionality of the unit without losing the key security features, so our customers will all be protected by the very same technology regardless of what unit they choose,” Taylor added.
“As a result, we can pass this cost saving down to users, which in turn we hope will see more riders adopt tracking as their chosen line of defence.”
11 stolen bikes recovered
Greater Manchester Police’s Salford Northeast Neighborhood Team have been clamping down on stolen bikes and antisocial riding as part of Operation Sycamore and Operation Kinetic.
The team has recovered 11 suspected stolen machines in just two weeks, including six from the garden of a single property.
“We said we were clamping down on the storage and use of motorbikes on the estate used to commit crime and that we are,” said a representative from the force. “Our enforcement work will continue.”
