Problem
Bicycle theft is a widespread issue, causing financial loss and inconvenience for bike owners. Traditional security measures like locks can be easily bypassed, leaving bicycles vulnerable to theft. Recovering a stolen bike is often difficult, as bikes lack effective tracking systems.

The device uses GPS, GSM, and Bluetooth technology to accurately pinpoint the bike's location. If the bike is moved without authorization, the owner receives immediate push notifications via the BikeFinder mobile app. The app also allows users to report theft directly, enabling the BikeFinder support team to assist in the recovery process.
