Hi,
I want to install a system to track the bike. I have found two systems: Datatool Trakking and RoadAngel Bike Trac
Datatool Trakking
RoadAngel Bike Trac
https://www.roadangelgroup.com/bike-trac/
The cost is very similar, both are a little expensive (380 GBP), but, have anyone experience with these systems? Any recommendation between both?
Many thanks
Im really interested in this topic, from people personal experience… what’s the impact on insurance savings ?
Main concern is the bike safety but weighing all pros
Please see the following re TrakKing

the only time you will beat me
Well when you need to start loosing parts of your bike on the A12 to loose weight and catch up …
NeverSkipLegDay,
the insurance savings depends a lot of your bike, but could be between 50GBP - 150GBP very approximated.
IanWilliamson,
many thanks for the links, but in these we didn’t talk about both systems or a comparison…
Well when you need to start loosing parts of your bike on the A12 to loose weight and catch up ........ IanWilliamsonI lost my fuse box lid
so Alfie will be loosing his fuse box lid
At £250 fully installed … would have thought it was a no brainer against one that you quote as £380.
In terms of TrakKing …
2) I’ve disconnected the battery for maintenance and within 30 seconds I have a call from a real human asking security questions …
3) When I’ve placed the bike on my trailer and set off to get a service … within 100m I’ve received a phone call, again asking questions …
Bluntly I can’t fault the system …
IanWilliamson,
many thanks for share your experience. Trakking seems a very good product, a little expensive, but very useful.
I gather you now need to wheelie everywhere since you lost your front wheel ...!?Well when you need to start loosing parts of your bike on the A12 to loose weight and catch up ........ IanWilliamsonI lost my fuse box lidso Alfie will be loosing his fuse box lid

And hows your rhs mirror … sure you didn’t clip someone ???
IanWilliamson,many thanks for share your experience. Trakking seems a very good product, a little expensive, but very useful.

I calculated that 1.5 years of insurance discount pays for the system.
The system, in the event of a theft, will hopefully get my bike back and lower any insurance increases.
The system just gives me piece of mind … even more so when combined with my other security measures.
If the garage is broken into (yeah … just try it!!) then any movement of the bike will wake me up via the phone alarm … again piece of mind. Then I’ll set my fearsome guard dog on them !!

just a question, what happen if I haven’t moved my motorbike during last two months, we can supose that battery of motorbike is died… In this situation, Is still working the Trakking system?
But also how effective are they …
Was it Rixxy who lost his bike and tracker edited never activated
(1) the TrakKing has a built in battery - can’t remember how long.
(2) I read theyve been successful at returning 75% of stolen vehicles.
I think with Rixxy, they lifted it into a metal van, the tracker never got a gps signal to see it’d moved.
basically if they want it they will get it
Frankly, if you don’t have a tracker on your bike, you’re a bit mad. The piece of mind alone in knowing where your bike is at all times and being alerted to movement (ie bumps) remotely is worth its weight in gold, let alone the benefits of quite likely being able to get your bike back if it goes missing!
The “Praise TrakKing and Xena” page indicates the benefit.
Okay the scroats did a runner before I got there, but what if they had tried for 45 seconds longer … I would have reached the bike while they were ‘working’ on it.
Then the fun would have begun …

Noted but a tracker should never be your only security means - its the bike’s version of the silent burgular alarm … mine gets a chain, and alarm disc lock on-top. Then there’s DataTag.
You could hide it under the seat for a mobile theft deterent.IanWilliamson,IanWilliamsonI’ll set my fearsome guard dog on them !!
