Tiny Tracker Texts You if Someone Steals Or Touches Your Motorcycle
For security, the Core has an internal 3-axis accelerometer that can be set to notice when someone besides you is bothering the bike. Should an overly touchy passerby start getting fresh with your ride, the app will send a push notification so you can shoo away the offender.
If someone manages to get the bike onto a trailer before you make it outside, you can trigger the apps Emergency Mode, which produces a pin code that gives police temporary access to the live location feed and can be tracked to between 10 and 20 feet. If a thief disconnects the bikes battery, the unit has an internal backup power source to keep sending information until they apprehend the perp and recover the motorcycle.
Naturally, all this tech doesnt come cheap, with the Ride Core unit starting at $219, not including any accessories, plus theres a $10.95 monthly fee for the data package. But if you value your ride, what price can you put on piece of mind?

If only it had an option to send an electrical shock through the bike... that would teach 'em.
Actually pretty cool. I just wonder how much data the company is harvesting and what they are doing with it.
