How to Protect Your Motorcycle: GPS Tracking, Locks and Covers
Protecting your motorcycle isn’t just about using one lock. Different products solve different problems – from tracking a stolen bike and physically securing it to protecting it from rain, dust and scratches.
Here are four simple ways to give your motorcycle some extra protection.
1. GPS Tracking – Know When Your Bike Moves
A GPS tracker adds a completely different layer of protection because it doesn’t physically lock the motorcycle – it helps you know when something is happening to it.
MONIMOTO is a wireless GPS tracker for motorcycles, developed in Europe. It can be hidden on the bike and works together with a separate key fob.
If the motorcycle starts moving while the key fob isn’t nearby, MONIMOTO alerts you on your phone and starts providing the bike’s location through the app.
Because the tracker is hidden, it works well alongside more visible security products such as chains and disc locks.
2. Motorcycle Security Chains
A heavy-duty security chain allows you to secure your motorcycle to a solid, immovable object such as a ground anchor or post.
Whenever possible, run the chain through the frame or another strong part of the motorcycle rather than only through the wheel.
Chains come in different lengths, thicknesses and weights. Heavier options are particularly useful for home or garage security, while more compact chains are easier to carry on the bike.
3. Brake Disc Locks – Compact Everyday Security
A brake disc lock is one of the easiest motorcycle security products to carry with you. It attaches directly to the brake disc and takes only a few seconds to fit.
Some models also include a built-in alarm. If the motorcycle is moved or disturbed, the lock triggers a loud warning sound.
The compact size makes a disc lock particularly useful for everyday riding, short stops in town, parking at work or whenever you don’t want to carry a large chain.
4. Protect Your Motorcycle From Rain, Dust and Scratches
Not every type of motorcycle protection is about theft.
A good motorcycle cover helps protect the bike from rain, dust, sunlight and minor scratches while it is parked.
It can be useful both outdoors and in the garage. A covered motorcycle also attracts less attention and keeps the bike itself, its accessories and other details out of sight.
When choosing a cover, make sure you select the correct size for your motorcycle and check whether the model is designed for indoor use, outdoor use or both.
One Product Doesn’t Have to Do Everything
There is no single product that protects a motorcycle from everything.
A GPS tracker helps you monitor the bike. A chain provides physical security. A disc lock is compact enough for everyday use. A cover protects the motorcycle from weather, dust and unwanted attention.
That’s why these products make the most sense when you choose them according to where and how you normally park your motorcycle.
