Problem
Bike commuters face frequent theft because most locks lack alarms, cannot secure both the frame and wheel to a rack, are heavy, or are easily cut, discouraging people from choosing cycling as a transportation option.
Solution
LOCKnGo offers a smart bike lock system that secures both the frame and a wheel directly to a bike rack, providing immediate theft deterrence. The lock includes a tamper‑triggered alarm that notifies the rider and security personnel via a mobile app, creating a proactive response to attempted theft. Its lightweight, easy‑to‑install design allows rapid deployment across campuses and other high‑traffic areas. Integrated usage tracking collects data on rack occupancy and peak times, enabling administrators to optimize bike‑parking infrastructure and improve sustainability metrics. By reducing theft risk and providing actionable usage insights, the system encourages more commuters to choose cycling.
Target Audience
Primary customers are campus facilities managers, university sustainability offices, and property managers of large multi‑tenant complexes seeking to improve bike‑parking security and utilization.
