Bicycle security has become even more secure with the launch of the Noke Smart U-Lock.

Created by the FUZ Designs startup, the Noke Smart U-Lock is set to transmute the way bikers secure their bicycles. Equipped with a universal Bluetooth and app, this [smart lock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/myq-secure-view) gives bikers the ability to not only lock but also to [track and share their bike's location](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bosch-battery-lock). Should a biker forget or misplace their phone, the U-Lock also features a manual option when the user is without the app. This brilliant bike innovation also provides a [built in alarm system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-lock-technology) that will notify the user if anyone attempts to break into the lock.

Available in three colors, the Noke Smart U-Lock is ready for pre-order and will begin to ship out in September of this year.
