Australian tech firm Orbit, a prominent producer of tracking technology, has recently unveiled its latest breakthrough: Orbit Velo – a state-of-the-art bike tracker that seamlessly integrates with Apple Find My. The advanced Orbit Velo tracker is specifically engineered to offer cyclists a secure and hassle-free method of monitoring their bikes, while also helping to tackle the escalating issue of bike theft worldwide.
According to a recent report by the National Bike Registry, over 1.5 million bicycles are stolen in the United States each year, with an estimated 50% of all bike thefts going unreported. Similar trends have been observed around the world, with many cities reporting a sharp increase in bike theft in recent years.
This device has been created to function seamlessly with Apple Find My, enabling users to locate their bike with their iPhone or other Apple devices, anytime and anywhere.
The Orbit Velo tracker boasts an impressive feature, which is its prolonged battery lifespan that can last for up to three years, and can be effortlessly replaced once depleted. It is also designed to be waterproof, ensuring that it is tough and dependable under any weather circumstances.
Furthermore, the Orbit Velo tracker includes a unique tool that is specifically crafted to screw the device onto the bike’s frame, making it incredibly difficult to detach using regular tools.
“We are excited to bring this innovative product to the cycling world,” said Stephan Kljajic, CEO of Orbit. “The Orbit Velo tracker is a game changer for cyclists, providing them with peace of mind and security knowing they can always locate their bike, and reducing the growing problem of bike theft.”
The Orbit Velo tracker is now available for purchase on the company’s website and will be available at select retailers in the coming weeks. The company is also offering a limited-time promotion for early adopters, with a discount of 10% for the first 100 orders.
