The integrated gyroscope ensures that you stay on track, while the anti-theft GPS tracking system keeps your bike safe and sound.
The integrated gyroscope ensures that you stay on track, while the anti-theft GPS tracking system keeps your bike safe and sound. Of course, you should take all the necessary security steps including using a suitable lock. An extra level of security is provided when you activate the locking function from your smartphone. This disables your motor and activates an alarm should your converted ebike be moved. Should it be necessary, your bike can be tracked when the battery is used using the inbuilt GPS tracking.
