The lock uses Bluetooth technology. It pairs easily with Android phones. Unlocking happens automatically when the owner approaches the bike. The lock opens quickly. It also locks just as fast when the user walks away. This makes using the bike faster and simpler.
Security is important. The lock uses strong encryption. This keeps the connection safe. Thieves cannot easily hack it. If the phone battery dies, a backup key is included. Users can still get into their bike. The lock is weatherproof too. Rain or sun does not damage it.
Users manage the lock through an app. The app shows the lock status. Owners can see if the bike is locked or unlocked. The app also tracks the bike’s location. This helps find the bike if it gets moved. An alarm sounds if someone tries to tamper with the lock.
The lock runs on a battery. This battery lasts a long time. Users do not need to charge it often. Replacing the battery is simple. The design is sleek. It does not look bulky on the bike frame.
