Smart Anti-Theft Bicycle Locks

The SQUIDD Lock is a Smart, Bike Theft System

— December 5, 2019 — Tech
A bicycle is stolen every 30 seconds in the United States and often, once the bike is stolen it is never found -- thanks to the SQUIDD Lock, there is an easy way to keep bikes safe and, if it is stolen, find it quickly. The SQUIDD Lock is the world's first anti-theft bicycle smart lock that features a community-based app, sensors, a loud alarm, mobile alerts and GPS tracking.

The lock stops most thefts before they can even happen and features real-time alerts and a tracking system delivering a 'LoJack'-like resource for any two-wheeled vehicle. SQUIDD Lock defends against theft by sending real-time alerts to the SQUIDD Lock mobile app when the sensors are activated. The tracking system allows users to know the bike’s exact location as the system’s GPS tracking is accurate to within two meters.
