We decided that as a group with different skills: engineers, marketing professionals, product designers, we thought we could do something about this, so we conceived a Smart Lock. We wanted to stop our bikes from getting stolen and to also track them if they did.

We obviously realized that creating such a bike lock was going to be a huge task, but committed two years of our lives, to prototyping, designing, testing, scrapping, and trying again.

The end result of the late nights, hard work, and maybe a few tears, is a bike safety device we are very proud of, possibly the safest lock in the world.

Our lock is made with a hardened stainless steel casing to be tough, GPS tracking so you can track your bike worldwide, motion sensors to alert you of suspicious activity, and a 110db alarm to alert those nearby.

We would love to bring this goal nearer to the finishing line so have launched on Kickstarter and would appreciate anyone helping with this clever design or backing us. Help stop my bike from getting stolen for the third time!
