AlterLock is an alarm/GPS tracking security device for bikes. It lets you keep a remote eye on your bike and notifies you on your phone when the device detects movement while the bike is locked away.

Main Features

Alarm

If the AlterLock device detects motion from your bike while in Lock mode, it will blare out an alarm that is as loud as 95dB, which is louder than a lawnmower, almost just as loud as a helicopter.

Alarms are highly effective in deterring theft, but you don’t have to worry about the embarrassment of a loud alarm being set off accidentally. AlterLock can be set to emit a relatively quiet warning sound the first time it detects your bike is being moved. If further movement occurs, indicating theft, the device sounds a loud alarm to scare off the thief.

Monitor

When motion is detected, the AlterLock app will notify you on your phone with its own notification sound, so you can distinguish it from other notification sounds like email and realize you need to get to your bike straight away.

The app also gives you complete control over the device. You can turn Lock mode on and off, configure the alarm, and set the motion detection sensitivity. The app also lets you control up to three devices.
The app also automatically connects to the device in the background. As long as your smartphone is in close proximity, you can turn Lock mode on and off by pressing the button on the AlterLock device itself without opening the app. This means you can take a break from riding and be back in the saddle as soon as you’re ready to go again without the hassle of taking your gloves off or getting your phone out.

Track

In the unlikely event that your bike is stolen, AlterLock can track it once a minute all the way to its final destination. If the bike is moved indoors where there is no GPS signal, the device uses Wi-Fi signals to determine its approximate location. This can also provide clues if the bike is abandoned or when the police search for it.

What sets AlterLock apart from many other tracking devices is its ability to track its location independently of your smartphone. By employing a highly accurate GPS module and Sigfox communication to connect to the Internet, the device transmits location information even if it’s hundreds of kilometres away, unlike Bluetooth, which has a maximum range of about 100 metres.

Reviews

“A great bike alarm!! I also use my gravel bike for commuting and this is a good way to add some security.”

I think it is a great addition to bike protection. Especially in Amsterdam bicycle theft is a big problem. And a bike alarm ensures that a thief leaves your bicycle.

“Perfect for when I make a quick stop at a café.“

Whenever I make a quick stop at a cafe or a convenience store, AlterLock makes me feel more secure. It gives me more time for shopping. I use it with a lightweight lock.

“Nice Additional Layer of Security- especially for café stops.”

I found it very reassuring at a café stop, when I don’t use a very robust lock, anything could happen to my bike. Knowing that I’d be able to check where my bike is whenever I want has given me some peace of mind.

FAQs

AlterLock fits neatly on bottle cage bosses of most sports bikes and can be mounted underneath a bottle cage.

When in lock mode, removing motion will be detected on the device and will trigger the alarm to notify on your phone. This will make removing the device very challenging. We also sell anti-theft bolts separately to make extra sure that the device will not be removed.

Bluetooth-based trackers are primarily intended to prevent the loss of portable items. They transmit location information when a smartphone is in the vicinity, but are not suitable for tracking moving bicycles.
AlterLock has a stand-alone communication function and supports GPS / Wi-Fi positioning, allowing you to track wherever you go.

Typical Bluetooth-based trackers can only communicate within the range of a Bluetooth connection, making it difficult to track them once they leave out of your hand. However, AlterLock uses GPS and Wi-Fi positioning, so it can be tracked anywhere.

The frequency and duration of the alarm and the motion detection sensitivity can be adjusted using the AlterLock App.
