Most people don't know this, how to properly AirTag a Bike 

i manage to put six tag inside my bike it help track my bike within 3 hours after it got stolen last week and call police to help recover my bike within 5 hours it got stolen , and catch the thief

@kennethcampingdiary1976 6? Where did you manage to hide 6 trackers?

@@scottgriz 1. inside my frame where seat post are 2.inside my seat post need make your air tag smaller first 3. Inside saddle need to remove the screw and put it inside the saddle , 4. Two inside the fork, 6. inside handle bar ( require to drill a big hole and use sand paper or cutter to reduce your airtag size) , one inside my cargo mount

@@scottgriz if u have facebook or instagram i can send u some pic of how i did it

@@kennethcampingdiary1976 Wow, that would drive a thief batty. Gives you plenty of time to hunt them down.

The irony is that their first idea was the most sneaky, although it didn't work. So then they went to the worst idea of the options they showed earlier lmao

How sophisticated do you think the thiefs are? Most likely a homeless guy or drug addict or both.

🤘🏼

''headset cap '' what is that? when I hear that expression, I'm thinking it 's something the riders wears over there heads or ears , (not something attatched to the Ebike?)

Go to 3:50. He calls it a "headset" Same thing as the cap..

Then he can track the seat thief

I thought that i am a genius for punting my Samsung smart tag inside my tubless tyre... funny me 😂

it's not very common to see people with a fat tire E Bike that weighs over say 50 lbs, with tubeless tyres, in fact there are not any tires that are tubeless with the exception of maybe 1 brand that offers a tubeless tire for heavier traditonal Ebikes that have 20X4 or 24X4 or 26X4 tires, (at least that's what I've discovered so far) So out of curiosity, what is the exact size of the tires that your referring to you put your airtag in? and what is the approximate weight of the Ebike, (maybe I'm missing out ?)

Cops are not entering a dwelling to retrieve a stolen bike; they need a warrant to even search a hobo tent.

@@1981menso They can on the other hand knock on the door and ask. Sure the thief could just say no but they likely have a lot of stolen items without AirTags too so they might just give up the item and claim that they "found" it rather than risk the cops putting their place on their watch list.

If your thief as a stupid amateur and drug addict - maybe your right.

A red reflector on that little holder might have helped disguise it.

That would be called the "government and military" version 😅

but then criminals can use it to stalk someone

You're calling that step surgery? It's quicker than... inflating a tire.

@@jackl7778 If so, then couldn't criminals just remove the speaker and then use the tag to stalk?

it would have made so much more sense to put a red reflector on the cover to make the whole air tag holder look like a rear light reflector.

They'll probably add a diagnostic function where the air tag will deactivate itself if it detects its speaker is no longer attached.

@@psps6623 there will be ways to mute it

@@JackCrossSama Explain

@@psps6623 once people open them up, we will be able to see which things are where and be able to plan accordingly to remove or damage the speaker, so it doesn't make sound.

It's March 2024

It's April 2024, did he get his coffee yet?

@@silentepsilon888 No, my father is gravely ill, but I will remember to. Thank you for reminding me.

Would this impede ride quality in any way, you think? I'm wondering if the airtag would produce any perceivable bump while riding.

@@bryanflo4500 You would need to counter balance it. But I highly doubt it would stay in place on a mountain bike.

@@scottgrizBikes do not need their tires balanced, the rotation speeds just aren't high enough. 11g will be unnoticeable at 25mph. And the innertube will hold it in place very firmly no matter the tire type.

shhhhh! That's a secret Theo! lol

Well. I will definitely *not* be doing this. That won't be where I put mine, for sure. 😶

I think the issue is that undesirables could attach them to someone and stalk them. It’s a privacy issue!

@@John64125they should make a feature where each time the owner is around they have to take a photo of where they placed it to confirm, for ex. If installed on a bike A photo with the AirTag on the bike is required to activate it and every 48-72 hours the owner should have to take a verification photo

what kind/brand/style of bell?

Where to buy one

don’t hack it. very expensive mistake when you break the plastic prongs, like i did, no matter how careful you are.

Don't hack it? I belive its not that expensive of a mistake 25 pounds. I have done this for my family and friends like 8 maybe didn't break a single plastic prong. Works amazingly

@@lisapilios6880lmao it’s like $30?

I broke one of the prongs does that make it not work anymore?

Hide it in the basement.........Every bicycle has a basement (@.@)

I would put it in The Handlebar post or down in the seat post where it would drop to the bottom.

@@lawrencegrace9302 too much interference, might not get a strong signal.

Don't they use something to block tracker signal when stealing more expensive things like cars and bicycles?

@@lawrencegrace9302 did you even watch the video?

Yeah but will be unable to locate it so easily without the speaker. Not a perfect solution but the best we got for cheap theft tracking.

I have located in the frame and works just fine!!👌

I use the AirTag and will kill the speaker! Your point of it following is well taken, but I don’t see this as a long term solution, you will have to recover the bike ASAP, and hopefully the criminal will be lax. These guys are opportunistic and they may not spend enough time to seek it.

Use 2 AirTags per bike. If they find one they probably won’t think there is a second

@@bikepackingadventure7913they’ll find one, toss it, and think they’re in the clear until a minute later when their iPhone notifies them that an AirTag is moving with them. You could put 1000 AirTags. Their iPhone will keep notifying them an AirTag is moving with them until they find them all.

A bike pedal with an airtag holder inside would be a genius idea!

The bttom of the suspension seat post I thought was a really great idea as well, but while some people say on there Ebike it works without signal interference, the RU-vidr uploader said that would not work, so at this very moment, I happen to be noticing a carbon fiber frame Ebike, I'll provide the link, (just thinking out loud for some who think this type of lighter frame might not block the bluetooth signal due to it's thinner material? ) no idea if that makes any sense, because while the frames are lighter, maybe that offers no advantage when it comes to signal blocking, anyway, very unqiue bike in the under 1,000 range because of the 20AMP battery, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r8JCXfpje-s.html

@@flolou8496 I got a carbon frame, I will try to stick it in there and report back when I get my AirTag in the mail

cool, here is another dumb idea, I just thought about, (under one of the front or backtire fenders?) if the back of the airtag can't have crazy glue or superglue applied directly to it, maybe it could go inside of some type of other tiny plastic or metal container that could have glue applied to its surface, (you know like those cheap magnetic key containers, people slide under the car (especiall if you upgrade to metal fenders) whathever the best approach would be the important thing to worry about is how well it's hidden probably at the middle of the fender in something black so it's maybe camouglaged by the all black fender, But if metal fenders interfere with any tracking signal than switch it to a plastic fender. For maximum adhesiion I would apply several layers of glue on a table, or if your really handy, try and solder or hotglue it to the plastic fender. Obviously you'de want to test the adhesion and be prepared to lose the airtag in the street or offroad, as your going through the ''testing stage'' of this idea. I've heard of people even installing two or three of them on the same bike.

Also don't foget even if Iphone's were 75% of the smartphone market (which the are not!) you still have a 25% chance of zero recovery unless you employ Android tracking devices as well, I'm wondering if the seat post blocking is greater or lesser with Non Apple Airtag trackers as well ??

Not sure about that: if the carbon fibres touch one another they will form a Faraday cage. Not as conductive as metal but could be enough to swallow most of your signal

That would be perfect, they sell foe bells for AirTags on amazon, link in description

Thought of that too. I think soo

Better to have the thief search for it.

I don't think that it would show that anyone is using your signal because it wouldn't be connected to their Wi-Fi.

@@lawrencegrace9302it does. It’s another anti-stocking feature. The person gets a notification on their phone and they can click it and make it ring. The thief will still get the message, the speaker has just been removed. That’s entirely how AirTags work to begin with, they connect to other device’s Bluetooth and the other persons phone automatically uses its own data and location information to update Apple servers on where it saw the AirTag.

Yes, doing this just slows the process down for them. You’d still need to react quickly. Or if they can’t find it quickly they might decide just to ditch the bike and move on to avoid getting caught.

The proof would be you showing the location appearing on your phone and then pointing out exactly where the tracker is located on the bike.

@@psps6623 this did not work for one of our clients who was attempting to retrieve their stolen motorcycle, the police would not accept the location of knowing where the bike was as proof.

Take a picture of your serial number before it is stolen.

Yes. Just remove the thin copper wire that causes the sound. There are RU-vid videos for that. I just did it to mine. No sound and location still works.

The glasses are important for the metal blade used to pry on the case, this could cause the blade to shatter

@@james_gatlin sure, I'm just coming from a country with a higher risk tolerance

Bluetooth range is maybe 30 feet. But you can locate your airtag from anywhere in world, as long as there are people with iphones near.

If there is an iPhone within range it’ll update and send the info to your phone

Link in the description for options

The problem is that such a device could be used for stalking which is why you get notice of the AirTag moving with you currently.

Yeah: for once Some is trying to do the right thing: to balance the needs of the owner of the object the Airtag is attached to with the owner of the Airtag. It's fine when it's the same owner; it's creepy as soon as you attach it to something belonging to someone else.

Nope. Non-metallic carbon fibre.

Carbon fiber will not block the signal since it is not conducting. Go for it.

Bonjour Pouvez vous me donner le lien du modèle Qui ce range dans le tube du cadre du vélo en .slt? Merci d’avance…

1 year

Yes

Well, a thief turning off their phone doesn't stop your air tag tracker. Don't know why the thief is going to turn their phone off.

@@chrismadison305 Airtags don't connect to the global Find My network on their own. They relay their signal through internet connected devices. So if the only device close to it is the thief's phone, then absolutely turning it off will stop your air tag from sharing its location.

They have those, actually! That's probably just as good as a bell

They clearly say in the video that alu tube acts as a cage preventing the signal to penetrate outside of …

@@ragleytrigadventures7422 What if the bike is made of carbon fiber?

@@gertadams8752 well the diameter of the handlebars tube is simply too small to allow the tag to fit inside 😙

The whole point is that people have been using AirTags to stalk others, so no.
