Works
Had this installed for approximately 18months
Been working perfectly for last 16months, it still works now but sometimes doesn’t work live maybe need to be adjusted where it installed on the bike to pick up a better signal, apart from that it’s definitely worth it

Reviewing after bike stolen
It's only when your bike is stolen that you realise that knowing where it is is not enough.
I wanted to storm off into a rough part of my city to demand my bike back from the gang who had taken it, but thought better off it.
Persuading the police to go instead was harder than I thought it would be and took a lot of persistence.
Then I was surprised to find there was no way to share the location from the app with the police. I had to text the lead officer updates with my own description of where the bike was. This is a must have feature and the app is pretty useless without it.
The police persued the bike when they could for three hours based on the text message updates I sent them. Every time the police almost got them, they cycled off and my text updates were too slow for the police to catch up.
The thief with my bike did get tired of being chased though and abandoned my bike in a wood.
Based on the location I sent them the police failed to find it.
6 hours later the GPS coordate updated and put the bike 20 metres away from where it had been.
I was able to use the new location to get my bike back. It was very well hidden, but the coordinates were now spot on. The old coordinate had just been wrong and not been updated quick enough.
So I'm very pleased that I got my bike back, but the app was too slow to update the location and it was also very hard to share my bike's location with the police.

Katastrophe. Eine gute Idee, aber die Ausführung…???
Stümperhaft programmiert, man kriegt die App nicht aus und tappt hilflos auf den Stopp-Button, während um einen herum die Leute genervt zuschauen…
Dann gibt es Aussetzer, wo die App bis zu einen halben Tag keinen Standort findet und dann mitten in der Nacht, aus Freude, das Fahrrad wieder gefunden zu haben, einen lauten Alarm losbricht. Dann stürzt man schlaftrunken los und sieht das Bike ruhig und ohne Probleme geparkt.
Die App ist eine Super-Idee, grade weil die Räder ja ständig auch geklaut werden, aber die Umsetzung ist echt grottig.
Suchen jetzt nach einer neuen Lösung.

Die App ist so schlecht
Am Anfang war noch alles OK, aber um so länger man das Teil in betrieb hat um so schlechter wird es. Seit Jahren wird versprochen das es ein Update geben wird, aber alles nur leere Versprechungen.
Zur Zeit wird bei mir immer nur die letzte Position meines Rades angezeigt und nicht die akutelle.

Ungenauigkeit
Ich habe das Gerät nun 3 Jahre aber von genauer Ortung sind wir weit weg. Bis zu 100 m falsch Anzeige des Standortes und das in der Stadt. Da brauch ich nicht auf die Suche zu gehen. Hier muss noch mächtig nachgebessert werden. Geht vielleicht mal besser wenn es die 4G Variante mal gibt.
