AlterLock evolved
AlterLock has evolved even further.
We’ve retained the concept of movement detection alarms and tracking features, while enhancing transmission area, device tracking performance, durability, and uptime. With riders and cyclists in mind, we’ve modernized the functionality everyway conceivable.
The advanced AlterLock Gen3 system bolsters sense of security and amplifies the joy of riding to a new level.
Motion detection alarm for peace of mind
When motion is detected a loud alarm sound of up to 95dB is triggered to deter theft by a loud alarm sound of up to 95dB. The motion detection sensitivity and alarm sounding time can be adjusted to accommodate a variety of situations and provide peace of mind, even on a bike rack.
Although taking extra precaution is highly recommended, we have received many reports of cases where the alarm went off causing the perpetrator to fleeing the scene.
In most cases, it is important to prevent theft before it happens.
Evolved transmission performance
When the device detects movement, the device will send out a signal (by Bluetooth for close range and LTE-M / NB-IoT transmission over long distances) to notify the user of the anomaly via a unique notification tone from the app.
Compared to previous model, AlterLock Gen3 boasts significantly improved transmission performance and reception capability in a wide range of areas globally.
Improved tracking performance
In the unlikely event that your bike is stolen, AlterLock can track it using GNSS (GPS & Galileo), Wi-Fi and 4G base station signals to attempt to locate the final location both indoors and outdoors.
AlterLock Gen3 has improved the algorithm for acquiring location information to shorten positioning time and improve accuracy. This new system is the first of its kind in the world.
Unlike loss prevention devices like Bluetooth tracker, AlterLock independently tracks its location location.
Eliminate Ride Anxiety
Do you want to enjoy cycling but worried about theft?
Are you comfortable with just a wire lock, but don’t want to carry heavy bolt locks?
Even during café rides or quick breaks, most people feel insecure about taking their eyes off the bike.
Even storing bikes on the home premise causes significant level of anxiety.
With AlterLock, you can always check the presence of your bike from the app.
Significant sense of security.
Three locking methods
Three lock/unlock operations are provided with the rider and cyclist in mind.
You can take a break between rides and get going right away without having to remove your gloves or take out your phone each time.
App operation | One-tap operation from the AlterLock app |
Button operation | When the phone is in close proximity, push the buttons on the main unit. |
Auto-Lock | Automatically locks when the phone is away from device. Automatically unlocks when the phone is within range. |
Countermeasures against false positives
Worried about accidentally setting off an alarm?
The first warning alarm is designed to set off to serve as a short warning.
In case of actual theft, a loud alarm can be used to deter further action.
The alarm duration can be set anywhere from 5 to 60 seconds, and there is also an option to mute the alarm sound if situation may fit. With all settings easily adjustable via the app, there is no need to worry about the alarm ringing continuously and disturbing neighbors.
Compatible with bike racks
By setting the detection sensitivity to “Low,” which is optimized for cycle rack usage, the system can be used with peace of mind even if there is some lateral swaying due to wind or other rack users nudging your bike.

User Testimonials
Unlike ordinary locks, just having a key on the bike makes it feel much safer. I recommend it because it expands the range of your ride.
The basic principle is solo riding. No matter how many earth locks you have, you still feel uneasy, but it is quite reassuring to be monitored even when you take your eyes off the road.
Thanks to you, I have not been able to use it yet, but I like it very much and gave it to my friend as a gift. I was very surprised at the pinpoint accuracy of the map display, even though I live in a rural area.
I used to ride alone a lot, and even had to rush back to my bike to use the restroom at the convenience store, but after installing the Alter-Lock, I feel so much safer. The basic anti-theft protection plus an extra measure has made me feel more relaxed and I can enjoy the side trips on my rides more than ever.
It is easy to use and can be locked with one button! It is also loud and secure! I recommend it because it is small in size and doesn’t affect your driving! All 5 members around me use it!
When you ride solo or in a group, or when you leave your road bike for a break, you can lock the bike with just one app, and your phone will be notified if there is anything unusual. When you move it when you lock it yourself to see if it responds, sure enough, an alarm goes off and your phone is notified. There is absolutely no loss in buying this product to protect your precious road bike.
alarm went off and I went to where I left my bike and found it gone. The map had been updated to show a nearby parking lot, so I went there and found the bike abandoned there. I don’t know if it was a prank or theft, but the bike was not lost.
I always park my bike in the parking lot near my office, but when I was leaving after work, it had been dropped from the pole it always stands on and was connected only by a chain lock. On the same day, my co-workers actually had their bicycles and helmets stolen, but I’m sure the alarm for the alter lock went off and mine was not stolen.
I think the performance is perfect. I think the cost is also very reasonable. I think the cost of the product is very reasonable, and I can feel that the seller has a customer-oriented approach to bicycle security.
It is a great peace of mind to be notified on my phone if something happens to my bike. I’m glad I bought it!
