BikeTrax for Brose - E Bike theft protection via GPS Tracker

PowUnity BikeTrax GPS Tracker for Brose e-bikes

Innovative theft protection for your e-bike

Finally, the popular BikeTrax GPS tracker is also available for e-bikes with Brose drive. After installing the GPS tracker, you can see at any time via a smartphone app whether your e-bike is being moved without authorisation and exactly where it is. In the event of theft, you will immediately receive an alarm on your smartphone. Thanks to this system, a stolen e-bike can be located and recovered at any time.

How it works

The operating principle of PowUnity BikeTrax is basically simple, but highly effective:

The BikeTrax GPS tracker, including the integrated SIM card, must be installed invisibly in the motor housing from the outside and connected to the Brose drive. You can also do this yourself at home (all necessary connection cables are included). Once this is done, the GPS tracker is connected to the European data network using the SIM card.

Then all you have to do is download the free Powunity app. Register and pair your smartphone with your e-bike using the app. Now the app shows you exactly where your Brose e-bike is and whether it is being moved - to within 5 metres and in real time. If your e-bike is moved without authorisation, the app immediately sounds the alarm.

You can now always locate your smartphone precisely, even if it is moved. This system has another advantage: the times when you parked your beloved bike somewhere in the city and then couldn't find it again are definitely over!

Energy supply

The BikeTrax GPS tracker is powered by the e-bike battery. If a thief removes the battery, the tracker will continue to be supplied with energy via an integrated additional battery - in stand-by mode (= bike is not moved) for up to 3 weeks. If the bike is moved (= active tracking), the runtime of the additional battery is 14 hours. As soon as the battery is reconnected, the additional battery is automatically recharged.

Where does BikeTrax work and what are the costs for data transmission?

The GPS Tracker transmits within the entire EU, but also in Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and Liechtenstein.

In the first year of use, the costs for data transmission are covered by PowUnity. After that, fees of 3.95 euros per month apply. However, there is no commitment and you can easily book the service on a monthly basis via the PowUnity app - e.g. if you only want to use BikeTrax in summer, etc.

The GPS coordinates are transmitted via GPRS and GSM.

Route diary & PowUnity web platform

A practical additional function of the BikeTrax system is the route diary, in which the routes covered are saved on a daily basis, including average and maximum speed (export as gpx file). You can use the PowUnity web platform to view the location of your bike or routes ridden on your PC or laptop.

Since the user profile (i.e. username and password) can be used on as many smartphones as you like, you can give relatives and friends the opportunity to see where you are currently riding. They can then also receive a theft alarm and react to it immediately.

Of course, the system cannot directly prevent theft - but you will know immediately if someone moves your valuable e-bike without authorisation and where it is at the moment. This way, a stolen bike can be precisely located and recovered. We can only warmly recommend this system to every owner of high-quality, expensive e-bikes.

Brand new: e-bike profile & theft report

As part of a major update in spring 2020, the PowUnity app was enriched with some very practical features. You now have the option of creating your own e-bike profile within the app. Here you can enter all relevant data about your personal bike (including purchase details and bike-related data such as type and frame number) - one of the advantages of this is that you don't have to painstakingly collect this police-relevant information in the event of theft. In the event of a theft, the data can be immediately forwarded to the police by printout or as a pdf file. In addition to the above-mentioned data, the location where the bike was stolen and its current position are also indicated. If the police are able to recover the e-bike with the help of the transmitted data, you can also clearly prove that the recovered bike is actually your own vehicle thanks to the logbook.

Another new feature is the option to delete entire routes or specific route sections in the app. The PowUnity Biketrax system's range of functions is now more comprehensive than ever before.
