Tracking Your MTB With BikeBac [Employee Review]

For many of us, our bikes are our pride and joy. Leaving them unattended/unlocked/vulnerable is out of the question. But sometimes, even when we take precautionary measures against theft, the worst still happens. It’s best to be prepared for the worst case scenario, and devices like the BikeBac can help give you some peace of mind and can help you locate your bike in the event of a theft. Read on for more!

Overview

Equipping an AirTag like device to your prized mountain bike has been a popular way of tracking your bike ever since the tags became more accessible, and as a result, mounting accessories made specifically for bikes have made their way onto the scene in the last few years. We always throw an AirTag in our bike bags when we travel, and now with BikeBac we can discreetly track our bikes all over the world, and have peace of mind in the process. Simply add the tag to your FindMy app on your iPhone or Android, and view the location of your bike on the map.

The BikeBac mounts discreetly underneath your water bottle cage or your seat, and comes with Torx security bolts and the accompanying tool in order to prevent them from being removed by your average thief. Powered by a common CR2032 coin cell battery, the BikeBac battery lasts for over a year.

Following the provided instructions, I was able to easily add the tracker to the FindMy app on my iPhone in minutes, and now I’m always able to keep tabs on my bike. You can also add your bike’s serial number to a national law enforcement registry in case your bike does get stolen, and that way it can be easily traced back to you. BikeBac also offers a discounted bundle in case you wish to track multiple bikes. They even offer a money back guarantee for the tracker in case your bike does get stolen and you’re unable to recover it.

Final Thoughts

For a little more than the price of an AirTag, you get a svelte bike specific mounting system instead of trying to Jerry Rig some sort of mount or buy an overpriced bike specific mount. If you’re interested in tracking your bike and like the way this device accomplishes that, I think it’s a great investment in your peace of mind.
