Reasons for Choosing a Motorcycle Tracker 

There are many reasons to consider investing in a GPS tracking device if you are a motorcyclist. First and foremost is added safety and security for all your adventures. With a tracking device, you can add emergency response features to your safety plan. This means if an accident occurs, you can get help with the press of a button right at your location or someone else could get you help ASAP. 

Furthermore, having a device will make it easier for loved ones to locate you in case of emergency or just have some extra peace of mind when you are on the road. Whether you like short motorcycle excursions, use your bike as a commuter vehicle, or cross the country on longer adventures, a GPS motorcycle tracker can keep you safe. Furthermore, you might be interested in a GPS device to help you streamline your routes or find new adventures by reviewing past rides. It’s a great way to find your next adventure and make smarter choices overall.

MT-100 Motorcycle Trackers

First up is our MT-100 motorcycle tracking device. We have different options in our MT-100 line, but all of them come standard with a few critical features. You get quad band GSM/GPRS software backing each of these devices. Furthermore, our devices are designed for the open road, all types of weather conditions, and with compatibility in mind. This device is specifically designed for motorcyclists; however, it has the added bonus of being compatible with other moving vehicles as well. The MT-100 line also has I/O monitoring and control, is water-resistant, and is CE and FCC certified. 

AVL-75 Motorcycle Trackers

Next up we have our AVL-75 device. This device boasts 4G emTC bands connectivity with the same features as our AVL–75 4G and 3G devices. It might be a better option for some motorcyclists because it is slightly more compact. Finally, it comes with quad band GSM/GPRS compatibility. 

AVL-75 3G & 4G Devices

Finally, our AVL-75 line also offers 3G and 4G options. The 3G option is a great investment, but the 4G has a wider range of connection if that is a critical aspect for you. All of the AVL-75 options come with standard safety capabilities, so choosing between the 3G and 4G is really about the range of connection. The 4G model also provides GARMIN FMI multiple sensor support and a CE and FCC certification.

  • In this modern age, traditional locks and security measures are simply not enough to protect
    your motorcycle. And that is why it is good to have a GPS tracker. Because when all else fails,
    you still want to be able to get your motorcycle back. To understand why traditional security is
    not enough, we need to understand why it fails, how criminals attack your motorcycle’s security,
    and what to look for in a GPS tracker. Once we understand those elements, you will know why
    every motorcycle owner should use a GPS tracker.
    Lift Off
    In times of desperation, or when you find yourself unprepared, your motorcycle has to go
    without a lock. This may be a result of the lock not being in the gear bag, an unforeseen issue
    with the lock, nothing sturdy to chain the bike too, etc. Needless to say, there will be times
    where your motorcycle is receiving less than perfect protection. Without a solid anchor point,
    motorcycle criminals won’t have touch any part of your security. Even with disk brake locks,
    criminals can still get away with your ride.
    This is because, the motorcycle can be lifted into the bed of a truck, or the back of a van. This
    attack is usually done with a team, where the bike is lifted so that it rolls on the wheel without a
    lock on the disk brake onto a ramp. However, in some cases, the team will lift the motorcycle
    unto a dolly of some kind, or even just lift it straight into their vehicle. Only a GPS tracker is
    effective in these cases. The tracker will always be there. Once it is installed, it is protecting your
    motorcycle no matter the situation. With no way to forget this means of protection, your bike
    always has a way of being found.
    Locks Aren’t Enough
    A lock is not enough to protect your bike. As we learned above, a lock on your disk brake is not
    going to do much in the way of protecting your motorcycle, but every lock has weaknesses. Of
    course, all motorcycles should use high-quality locks and even chains, but this alone is not
    enough. Even the best locks and the strongest chains can be cut with an angle grinder. Most
    can be cut in under a minute. Though this type of attack may be noisy and attract attention, an
    experienced thief knows how fast they can get away.
    Once the locks, chains, etc. come off, your motorcycle has no security. That is unless you use a
    GPS tracker. No matter how much someone wants your motorcycle, once they steal it, you will
    have a way of getting it back. Where most security focuses on keeping you from losing what you
    have, a GPS does the work of getting it back. The security offers peace of mind, and the
    resources to ensure that a criminal never truly steals your ride.
    Simple Ignition Cylinders
  • On most vintage motorcycles, and even many of the contemporary models, there is an issue
    with the simplicity of the vehicle’s ignition cylinder. Without a transponder chip in the key, and a
    transceiver in the cylinder, a motorcycle is very easy to start. There are products like tryout keys
    which will turn in many ignitions as if they were the actual key. These “skeleton keys” are very
    easy to purchase, and allow a criminal to ride away on your motorcycle.
    Even if you were to get an auto locksmith to replace your ignition cylinder, there are still ways to
    circumvent the cylinder and hot wire the bike. The steering lock is simple enough to break on
    most motorcycles, and then the thief is free to take off. It would be a better to install a GPS
    tracker on the bike, so that no matter where the criminal ends up, the police can find the
    motorcycle.
    What You Need in a Motorcycle GPS Tracker
    Firstly, you need a product that is built with motorcycle GPS tracking in mind. This means the
    product should be waterproof so that weathering during use and unforeseen storage issues do
    not leave you with a malfunctioning or broken tracker. You are also looking for a GPS tracker
    with superior receiver sensitivity, as fast Time To First Fix (TTFF) is crucial for security.
    The TTFF is the measurement of how long it takes before the GPS receiver can locate a signal
    and navigation data from a satellite. The faster the TTFF, the quicker you will know the
    calculated “position solution” (aka Fix). Once your motorcycle GPS tracker finds the “Fix” it will
    need a way of being monitored. Monitoring is left up to the individual’s needs, based on their
    perceived security risks, but it is good to have the option between real-time and periodic
    monitoring.
    Conclusion
    Using GPS technology to protect your motorcycle is really the only way to get proper peace of
    mind. With third party devices, a criminal will not think to check for this security. That means all
    of their preparation still won’t allow them to get away. As it is so hard to properly safeguard a
    motorcycle reliably and in every situation, take the necessary precautions to assure that you can
    always know where your vehicle is
