I was considering buying summat like this for my bike, but when my bike was stolen a few weeks ago....this kind of device wouldn't have helped as the 3 thieves wheeled my bike a few hundred yards away & set it alight(@ 2:50AM) Now just waiting for my insurer to settle the claim(& the insurer to stop adding to my policy,extra charges for not telling them I'd changed employer!) My bike was only being left outside the garage while waiting for the weather to improve, as a winter storm had flattened the garage & the day after it had been stolen,we've had pretty much constant bright sunny days since & my garage is now ready to be rebuilt(was a tin sheet affair, so this time I'll make a timber frame & fasten the sheets to this & any sheets too bent/twisted to use will have some sheets of ply in their place) This should make any future bike so dam noisy to try steal they bugger off & get arrested hassling someone else.
Yes, just watched the video. I love tracking technology now. I use Tile tracking for lots of things but this would have been a great thing to have in my friends Defender couple weeks ago because it got taken of the side of the road in broad daylight. Would love to of tracked it down.
I use an Apple AirTag hidden on my bike for $25.00 USD. It uses a readily available CR2032 button battery that lasts about 1-year. If that doesn’t work, then that’s why I pay for insurance. FJB 🖕🇨🇳
The main drawback with trackers is down to the disconcerting fact scumbag thieves watch RU-vid bike videos, too. Particularly security themed videos. Trackers have been out for years, now. Thieves know as much, and probably a lot more, about trackers than the average rider. They have to, it's part of their 'job'. There are few thieves that do not do one or more of the following golden rules for bike thievery.....a) damage a bike trying to find a tracker b) park it under a building or in a lockup to defeat GPS and/or c) simply park it up and monitor it for 3 days plus to see if it is recovered from even the top tracker companies that also offer radio beacon location and a subscription search and find. Do not waste your money on trackers. Instead, make it as difficult as possible for them to steal it in the first place via multiple locks. 90% of thieves, whilst not afraid of getting caught in the joke that is the criminal justice system in Sunak's broken Britain, they still don't want to spend 10 minutes plus trying to steal a bike with chains and multiple disc locks.
These are brilliant Chops. Had them for years. So much better than hard wired versions, can swap between assets and easy to hide. The App works great and I get a phone call within 30 secs normally. Impressive little trackers.
Interesting product for piece of mind but I am not entirely sure I'd like my motorcycle to be recovered if stolen. Granted insurance would not pay out as much as it is worth before being taken but at the same time I would hardly enjoy my ex pride mobile after someone had a good go at it and bashed it around. At that point it's not mine anymore.
When notifying the police tell them you have a legal firearm and you will go there (where the bike is) in an hour to recover the bike using it if necessary. You will see they will show up. 😅
Phew! Nothing stolen in reality. 😅 I'm still haunted by the motocross bike taken by a thieving cnut. Bike found with £500 of damage and the police wanted me to shake hands with him and let bygones be bygones! He was on benefits so no money. I hope there's a special place in Hell for them!
Does it automatically call six burly Polish scaffolders in a van to come and help ‘return to owner’ because otherwise you might wake up in a hospital under arrest 😂
Got one on each of my bikes, reassurance when I leave it parked up in a NHS hospital car park and a vague possibility of getting it back intact in the Black Country.
The after sales service is brilliant. Both myself and the Mrs' have one in our bikes and hers kept getting false alarms after about 18 months. With no prompt from ourselves they contacted us to make sure everything was ok. After trying a new battery which only worked for a couple of weeks they sent a new upgraded fob free of charge and sent follow up messages to check everything was working ok.
I have a couple of these for two years now, they are good and in my opinion worth the money and subscription. You sometimes get low battery alerts from the unit you hide in the bike, sometimes it's bollocks, all to do with signals. Which is actually a good thing. The alerting system is first class; if I even take the cover of my bike without the fob in my pocket it phones me it works well. Sometimes too well & it rings after riding away. A stronger signal between fob and unit would be an upgrade. Overall good cheap security + you might just want to...
UK motorcycle thieves must kinder and gentler than the ones in tne U.S. The police also appear more interested in helping recover than they were when my two motorcycles were stolen last August. It is nice to see it works. Does the tracking work when the bike is in an enclosed metal structure like a rental truck or metal building? Hopefully your police are more interested in finding stolen motorcycles than mine were.
We all know that in the real world Womble would've stolen the V-Strom not the Aprilla🤗 Hopefully as yuve got your hands on one there's a full review of one coming soon.
Had the zx10r stolen a month ago and the zx6r last yr around same time 🤡 im hoping by watching this ill be convinced this is the best gps for the bikes
I have one of these on my bike I think it’s a great bit of kit not too expensive to buy and then it’s cheap as chips for the annual subscription £36 a year hard to beat an as you have shown simple and easy to use Does what it says on the box
I took my Invoxia on it's first test ride, where I stopped at a Burger King and ate lunch, and then stopped at a Walmart to buy groceries. When I checked the Invoxia route map when I got home, there was no way telling from the plotted lines and sporadic location points that I had been at either the Burger King or the Walmart. And I had the update frequency set to High. All I got to say is don't count on a GPS tracker as your first line of defense, but your last line of defense. Put plenty of money into good chains and padlocks because you really don't want to call a friend, have them pick you up, and go on some wild goose chase to sporadic random points along a roadwhere your bike might have been traveling... hours ago. I plan to hang rape alarms attached on my bike with fish line clipped on to lead sinkers or to the chain.
@@miniwarrior7Well I tried the query now button I think while sitting at home and got that to work, but I was in bluetooth range. I was under the impression you could change the query speed remotely over the cellular network to every 5 minutes, in case your bike got stolen, and query it for an immediate location fix when you pressed a button. At least that's what one of the representatives said they added it as a new feature, in the comments after a video critisized it. As simplified as the interface is, I find very frustratingly confusing there are two modes, when you're connected to bluetooth and where you're not, and if you're not... where you expected to find all the settings before under the gear icon, there is nothing. Just make the blasted thing work entirely off the cellular network and ethernet, and only use bluetooth for initial setup... that's how they should of made it. Bluetooth swcks and has no range whatsoever. I'll use it as my last line of defense, but otherwise I bought a grade 100 chain and some stainless steel abloy 340 locks. I just got mine, so I'll play around with it some more and try relocating it on the bike, maybe I can get a better signal in a better location. I lost interest pretty quick with it when it did such a poor job when before I left the house I set it in the fast 5 minute mode. I got maybe 6 location points across the cell network in a 2.5 hour travel time span.
I bought one when I got my Multistrada, first service gave the keys to the dealer and disappeared into town for a coffee. Twenty minutes later got the phone call, the bike was on the move, into the workshop, I’d kept the fob with me, duh🤣. Yes it works and it tells me it’s ok every night. I’d have another, biggest issue hiding it and remembering where you put it.
Is that an Adroid phone you need to enable double tap to wake your phone so you don't need to open the case. You can also double tap to turn it off again.
Mines been going 6 months and still says fully charged! I also have daily notification on. Plus mines been stolen hehe. Guess depends what batteries are in it?? 🤷♂️
Saw title (click bait) & quickly clicked on vid as was genuinely concerned you had a bike stolen. Realised it was product demo...Went to link in description....all prices in dollars. Can't see info on site or a link clarifying if subs needed. Prior saw Andy (TMF) mention Sizzapp...I may look at that sometime..Glad bike not stolen...Thanks anyway 😊😉
These are great for many other things like caravans, boat's on trailers and cars etc as well. I bet you could even track your dog if there was a way of attaching it somehow. Great review again Chops 👍😊
I thought about buying a Aprila but bad reviews pushed me away from the brand , dropping cell service could be a killer with this product especially if you’re on your feet
I was told that if you remove the speaker in the tag, the thieves don't know it's there. Not sure how true any of that info is as I'd just met the guy.
Sounds like a good and bad thing. Good that you know where your bike is, bad for the individual that took it. Hopefully people will not take justice into their own hands, and confront the individual without law enforcement. Maybe if the thief rode it like they stole it, they would get farther.
So where do you put this Moni moto on any bike that a thief won't find it in 15 seconds remove and ride of into the sunset with said bike. This product is not up to the job
Under the tank is the best place, not that easy to get to and impossible without tools. Plus they wouldn't know it had one anyway, normally they just check battery connections to see if a bike has a tracker
