Connected bicycle alarm, movement sensors, instant alerts, theft mapping and real time GPS tracking. Â
Bicycle theft is a real concern for all cyclists but the team behind the Leopard Lync think they have a solution. Over the last 2 years they have been working with cyclists and some of the leading bicycle manufacturers in Europe to develop their smart, anti-theft alarm with GPS tracking, and have now launched their crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo.
Designed to deter bicycle thieves in the first place, the Lync comes fitted with a loud 109 dB alarm that triggers if the integrated motion sensors (6 axis gyro and accelerometer) detects authorised movement. The Lync will also send an instant alert to your phone via the Lync app so you can check on your bike.
James Robertson, Head of Marketing said,
“There are plenty of bike trackers on the market but we wanted to create something different, something that would help to prevent your bike being stolen and give cyclists an extra layer of security”    Â
The Lync comes fitted with an 4G / 2G eSim to guarantee connection no matter where you are in the UK and Europe and also has Bluetooth auto lock meaning you can simply walk away from your bike and the Lync will automatically activate.
With the Lync app, cyclists can check their location for recent bike thefts and theft hot spots as well as set up a geofence around your bike…which can be very useful for retailers, anyone sharing their bike or parents. With real time GPS, cyclists can also see exactly where their bike is, anytime.
The Lync has been designed to fit all types of bikes, and simply attaches under your existing bottle cage and is weatherproof up to IP67. With normal use the battery will last up to 4 weeks on a single charge and longer when in standby mode.
James continued…
“We have learnt a lot over the last 2 years and the support from the bicycle manufacturers has been amazing….so we are vey excited to get this launched and in the hands of cyclists everywhere.”
The Leopard Lync is available to order now on IndieGoGo now and comes with the first year of data included for £89 – limited to the first 100 orders.
