Sunra UK endorse BikeTrac Lite

Sunra UK has announced a new collaboration with leading motorcycle and scooter tracking specialists, BikeTrac, endorsing the all-new BikeTrac Lite product for use and fitment on the entire Sunra EV range of models.

Launched last December, BikeTrac Lite offers a fit-and-forget tracking solution for smaller capacity or lower valued machines and like the regular full-feature BikeTrac device, enjoys Thatcham S7 rated security, offering owners greater protection against bike theft.

Announcing the endorsement and collaboration, Sunra UK’s Logan Black, commented, “As the Sunra range of models becomes more popular, we are keen to make sure that our customers have a range of services and products to keep them mobile. While our products do come with an alarm and a physical immobiliser function as standard, locking the rear wheel when unauthorised movement is detected, we’re mindful that bike thieves go to extreme lengths. With BikeTrac we are confident that we have a proven product and partner to offer our customers greater protection.”

As well as offering additional peace of mind to Sunra owners, the BikeTrac collaboration also provides insurance advantages too, with Sunra’s official insurance scheme provider, Lexham, providing up to 10% discount to owners of any model equipped with a BikeTrac unit.

BikeTrac’s Bill Taylor added, “We are delighted to gain endorsement from the Sunra UK team. Our BikeTrac Lite product has been developed for small capacity and lower valued machines, and so to have our product endorsed for EV use with Sunra is ideal. The lower draw rate of our products and the internal battery make it ideal for use on electric bikes and thanks to the small unit size, it can be easily installed in discrete locations on any of the Sunra lineup. We look forward to protecting many Sunra owners in the future.”

BikeTrac announce all-new Lite product

Leading motorcycle tracking specialists, BikeTrac, have today announced their all-new slimmed down tracking unit, BikeTrac Lite; aimed at cost-conscious riders, looking for a device that simply offers the brand’s renowned security functionality.

The ideal tracking solution for riders of low capacity or older machines, BikeTrac Lite takes all of  the trusted tracking features from the brand’s premium device, such as GPS and Radio Frequency technology, but is instead stripped back to be a simple fit-and-forget, cost effective alternative.

BikeTrac’s Bill Taylor announced the new Lite device, commenting, “We are delighted to be able to bring this new simplified product to market. While our premium device is still very much a market-leader thanks to its feature-rich functionality and impeccable recovery results over the last decade, we’ve been keen to bring a slimmed down version to the market for lower value machines for quite some time. We’ve tried hard to make cost much less of an issue for riders looking for truly effective bike security.

“With BikeTrac Lite, we’ve been able to slim down the additional functionality of the unit without losing the key security features, so our customers will all be protected by the very same technology regardless of what unit they choose. As a result, we can pass this cost saving down to users, which in turn we hope will see more riders adopt tracking as their chosen line of defense.”

While BikeTrac’s premium product still provides customers with one of the most feature-rich devices available, all customisable from their own app and web portal, BikeTrac Lite simply works silently in the background, with movement notifications sent via text, email and Push notification, along with BikeTrac’s Secure Operating Centre available 24/7.

BikeTrac Lite has a recommended unit retail price of £199, with subscription costs at £5.99 per month or annual fee of £60. 0% finance is also available.

BikeTrac and Securitas announce partnership

BikeTrac has today confirmed its partnership with global security services provider, Securitas, in a bid to offer customers even greater chances of recovery when Police resources are stretched.

Despite BikeTrac offering one of the best recovery rates in the business – an impressive 94% in the last 10 years, Police resources are more stretched now than ever, with serious crime pushing forces up and down the country to the limit. Securitas, with its national network of mobile security officers, aims to galvanise BikeTrac’s proven success rate.

BikeTrac Sales and Marketing Director, Bill Taylor, explained, “We are extremely proud of our recovery rate, which is very much down to the great support we have had and still have from police forces across the UK. While the support is still generally very good, there are occasions where we cannot get an officer on scene as quickly as we’d like, which is where Securitas will step in.

“Thanks to their expertise and national network, should such a situation arise now, we will be able to despatch a CRB checked Securitas Protective Services Officer to the scene, to quickly confirm the stolen bike’s location and secure it pending arrival of police or the owner.”

On top of this additional service, which will be free to existing customers, BikeTrac’s partnership with SOS Motorcycle Recovery means a discounted rate is also available for collection from the scene too if required.

Securitas spokesperson, Richard Field, Sales Director, Mobile added “In Securitas we make a promise to our clients to keep their people, property and assets safe. Our promise, when combined with our core values of integrity, vigilance and helpfulness, help us create a safer society for everyone.

“Bike Trac share the same values as Securitas, and we’re proud to be working in partnership to help protect their client’s most valuable assets.”

BikeTrac customers benefit immediately from this new service by Securitas – another reason to choose the longest established dedicated motorcycle tracking device on the market.

BikeTrac celebrate a decade

BikeTrac, the leading and longest established dedicated UK motorcycle tracking company is celebrating 10 years in the market this December, acknowledging the milestone by bringing a new 0% finance option for dealers to utilise and a subscription commission programme too.

Having launched the 0% offer at the recent Motorcycle Live event at the NEC in Birmingham, the BikeTrac team now aim to make tracking more accessible to customers, while potentially making the sales process easier for its dealers without losing out on margin.

BikeTrac’s Bill Taylor, explained, “When we began in 2009, tracking technology was seen as a luxury and often a difficult sale for dealers. While public perception has changed dramatically thanks to the many high profile success stories, the cost of the technology can still seem prohibitive to some. With this new finance offer, we’re confident that by spreading the unit cost, fitment and subscription with no interest, dealers will be able to close the sale much easier.”

On top of the new finance product, BikeTrac is also delighted to announce a new subscription commission initiative for dealers and installers, launching in the spring of 2020.

Taylor continued, “The process for this new programme is very simple, effectively rewarding dealers for customer subscriptions taken out on new units that have been supplied and fitted by them, as well as subsequent subscription renewals too. We’ve developed a very simple automated system for us to record valid subscriptions against dealer accounts, effectively rewarding dealers for years to come after the initial sale.”

With plans to launch the dealer login area next spring, participating dealers will be able to check the credits in their account, withdraw or offset against new stock, offering another revenue stream from BikeTrac.

As BikeTrac enters its second decade, the team based at Silverstone in Northamptonshire is proud to have played their part in the fight against bike theft, now responsible for more than 1000 + recoveries, totalling over £9m worth of machines recovered. On top of this, the team has launched the innovative HARD Security range, as well a unique rider Medical Kit too.

BikeTrac have open points across the UK for dealers and installers and welcome the opportunity to speak with any interested parties.

For further information, interested dealers should contact Bill Taylor on 01327 317980 or email bill@biketrac.co.uk.

BikeTrac-Celebrates-1000-Recoveries

We are delighted  to announce reaching a significant milestone off the back of a busy summer of recoveries, having now recovered more than 1000 customer’s machines since launch.

Entering the motorcycle market in 2009, we have strived to become one of the most highly regarded automotive tracking products, thanks to our dedicated approach to motorcycle security with the development of proven multi-tier technology.

Benefitting from GPS, GPRS, GSM and RF, BikeTrac the first unit to offer such technology in a dedicated motorcycle device, allowing our team to not only track down stolen motorcycles and  scooters, but be able to assist in proactive recoveries, where only Radio Frequency (RF) could offer detailed location information.

Sales Director,  Bill Taylor explained, “When we began developing our system, we knew that we had to make sure our tech worked specifically for motorcycles. At the time, others offered GPS, GPRS and GSM, but RF was something that other devices didn’t. This was crucial in our minds because it allowed us to work closer with the authorities to prove we know where the stolen bike is; it’s a big reason why we’ve hit the magic 1000.”

With BikeTrac’s RF function deployed, the location of any stolen bike is much more precise, enabling those on scene to obtain a search warrant much easier, be it a block of garages, lock-up or even sometimes inside a dwelling.

While our milestone is recorded over the last nine years, motorcycle theft still shows no signs of slowing, with our team recording their busiest ever August, with over 29 bikes reunited with their owners; sadly not a statistic that can be said for machines that aren’t equipped.

On top of security, we also offer other useful functions, from downloadable and shareable routes, to service reminders, live battery voltage information and even a ‘bike down’ feature, should a motorcycle have a topple over. On top of this, current subscribers also benefit from ‘BikeTrac Advantage’, giving customers discounts from chosen partners, ranging from track days to earplugs, to cleaning products.

All of BikeTrac’s functions and benefits can be accessed online, with a dedicated App also available too.

BikeTrac has a recommended retail price of £299 with subscription starting from £9.99 per month, plus fitment, with 1, 2 & 3 year options too – Click Here
