Does any one know or recommend a tracker system for a motorbike.if so how much and how do these work ie do u have to pay subscription and does it need charging every so often thinkin of putting one on my sp if it goes missing
someone recommended this the other day. I watched it on Ebay, but not bought one myself so far.. NO CONTRACT CAR VEHICLE MOTORBIKE GPS TRACKER MOTORCYCLE TRACKING DEVICE -303B | eBay
The one gilesy has put a link for runs off a 2g sim card and costs 9p a text to check where your bike is and can be hard wired to the bike
I had one fitted when I got the bike from the dealer. Cost me £299 for Honda to fit it and £399 subscription that was a one off payment which was an offer for lifetime of the bike. You can however pay for each year thats with tracker.co.uk, went with these guys as my mate had all his bikes nicked from his lockup he only had his road bike fitted but he got all four bikes back the same day. Added bonus was the return of other bikes to their owners that the scumbags had nicked. Not had any false alarms on it other then when it goes in for services they even phoned me when i moved it from out of the shed to the drive without turning it on about 10 feet. There are cheaper ones out there but I would always pick a better known brand and as it has European coverage. I would have to say that anyone who has had a bike nicked knows the feeling, no matter what locks or other protection you use once its gone you stand little or no chance of seeing it again.
I bought this cheap GPS/GSM tracker from China TK08 gt02 Anti theft GSM/ GPS Tracker Motorcycle Vehicle Quad Band Google map link Worldwide Monitor Tracking Free Shipping-in GPS Trackers from Automobiles & Motorcycles on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group Will test it when it has arrived. For £ 14.61 you can not go wrong. Perhaps the GPS tracker is ok.
Sinewave I have looked into a lot of trackers and to me this is the one to have hopefully will never have to use it and insurance will knock offs premium so will pay for itself in time going to get it fitted at local dealer next week easy to fit only 3 wires but if they fit it will be ok on warranty £350 all in.not saying anything wrong with ram says but I am a firm believer you only get what u pay for
Hi ,any chance you could let me know what it,s like once it,s fitted ? I,m tempted at that price but not sure it,ll work with a uk SIM card ? Ta mucho
Another from me also, lol! Read my statement again Graeme, twas a bito of "After the Horse has Bolted" humor!
The added extra of biketrac is that they can still track without the phone signal using radio frequency
Cheap trackers locate by cellular triangulation! That's it, in other words it's fully dependant on the mobile phone network for comms and for location, both can be hit or miss. BikeTrac uses its own internal GPS for location data and the network if need be, plus the system logs it's location all the time leaving a bread crumb trail of data that's fed back into the network, it also has a VHF transmitter built in to help pin point it's location, all of that data can be viewed by the owner on the portal, it also works in Europe etc and your ebay bargain may not or rather will depend on the sim you have installed, your subscription pays for a team of operators that monitor the system 24 hrs a day, plus in the event of the unit being set to stolen they help the police track the bike, they also have "other" methods they can use to get location data that they will not disclose. I install a good few BikeTrac transponders and rate them very highly, they should be installed in a location that's hard to get to so be sure your dealer is doing just that and not just chucking it under the seat, the internal battery lasts for yonks should the bikes power fail, normally if I move the bike three feet or have a geo fence setup (an invisible fence that if the bike leves the system goes into alarm) they are on the phone within the min.
Arthur where do you locate on the blade I spoke to m and s dealer and he says prob in the nose cone what's your take on this
