Connected to the Vodafone global network by the built-in smart SIM, the Curve Bike Light & GPS tracker is designed to improve the experience of cycling and bike ownership.
The sleek streamlined form conceals a wide range of both digital and physical functionality that helps users feel safer on the roads and keeps them connected to their bike when away from it.
The product consists of 3 key elements; a bike light, smart GPS tracker, and mounting bracket, which come together to form a singular aerodynamic unit that looks appropriate on all types of bikes.
Whilst the bracket and tracker are locked onto the bike seatpost using a discrete security bolt (specialist tool supplied), the light is designed to be quickly and easily removed for convenient battery charging, using a familiar quarter turn action that both locks and unlocks it to the tracker.
Providing the bike rider with confidence the ultra-bright light is suitable for both day and night time riding, and features an intelligent brake light function that responds to the rider's speed to let drivers know when they’re braking.
For added safety, the tracker also senses impact and can send help alerts to notify loved ones if you have a fall.
Remaining with the bike at all times, the tracker gives confidence to leave the bike parked unguarded thanks to the security mode feature, which automatically turns on when the light is removed from the tracker.
Security mode includes movement alerts straight to users phone letting them track its live location in the app, and a loud 107 db siren that sounds to create a physical theft deterrent.
