In an effort to reduce [e-bike theft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voom-ebike-insurance) the Dutch Road Transport Authority (RDW) has developed the BikeBlockchain to better process thefts and aid in recovery. Choosing to focus on [e-bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-ebike1), this new blockchain-based initiative has already been warmly received by the insurance sector and serves as a prime example of a government body leveraging modern technological innovation.

The efficiency of the BikeBlockchain ensures that users are easily able to track stolen bikes thanks to an [integrated smart lock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aventon-abound-sr). This lock logs all the instances when the bike is locked and unlocked and quickly shares the last location on a companion app. The BikeBlockchain app also allows users to instantly report the theft to the police who will produce and automatically generated warrant.
