One-tap e-bike security with Comodule
Why e-bike security needs to go digital
As e-bikes grow in popularity, so do bike thefts. Riders are investing in smarter, more valuable electric bikes - and that means traditional chains and mechanical locks simply aren’t enough, both for riders and the insurance companies. Today’s bike owners expect a digital-first security solution that’s as seamless and intelligent as the bike itself.
At the same time, thieves are also evolving and becoming more organized. They no longer just cut locks - they’re actively searching for aftermarket trackers, which can often be easily located and removed. Basic track-and-trace devices alone don’t cut it anymore. What’s needed is built-in connectivity, deeply integrated into the bike’s electronics and drive system - something that can’t be simply detached or bypassed.
That’s where Comodule comes in. Our mission is simple: make connected e-bikes pointless to steal. With a combination of tracking, active alarms, drivetrain locks, smart locks and the digital locking feature that controls it all, bike locking is simpler for the user, and theft has become extremely difficult. And even if a thief succeeds, the residual value of a fully connected, locked-down e-bike is lower — it can’t be sold, reused, or ridden like a regular e-bike. And the thief has to consider the increased risks of stealing the bike: bike users are notified immediately when the thief is trying to steal it, and the bike users can immediately share their live location with the police or the recovery service.
Whether you're commuting through the city or parking at home, you want peace of mind. Comodule’s IoT platform and connectivity system offer exactly that - effortless, multi-layered protection designed specifically for the digital electric bike.
One tap. Full protection.
With the Comodule Companion App, your bike becomes more than just a ride - it becomes a digitally connected smart vehicle. And securing it is as simple as tapping a button on your phone - less hassle with locks and worry about the bike getting stolen. Comodule’s security features are integrated directly into your bike’s IoT device and app interface. With a single action, you check your bike’s live location and activate an entire system of protection when needed.
Here’s what happens when digitally lock your e-bike
GPS tracking
Your e-bike’s location can be constantly monitored - whether you’re nearby or halfway across the world, whether the bike is locked or unlocked. You can always check your bike’s location via the app and see the last time of movement.
Movement alerts
If anyone touches or moves the locked bike, you instantly get a push notification via the app. That way, you’re the first to know if something suspicious happens. If you have added other users to the same bike, everybody gets the message.
Sound alarm
A loud warning sound is triggered when movement is detected. If tampering continues, the alarm escalates to a full-volume siren to draw attention and scare off potential thieves.
Drive unit lock (new!)
Even if someone manages to steal the bike and remove the IoT module, your e-bike still won’t move. The drive unit is digitally immobilized, making the bike unridable until it is activated by IoT again. This makes the drivetrain worthless when stolen.
Smart bike locks
Comodule supports the integration with smart locks that are controlled by the same digital lock feature from the app:
2Lock Smart hub lock: prevents the wheel from spinning and prevents wheel removal from the fork. It prevents the thief from rolling away with the bike, plus reducing the residual value of the stolen bike, as the fork and the wheel must be destroyed.
Smart frame lock (iLockit): digital lock automatically closes and opens the frame lock, making locking much more convenient for the user.
Keyless go for e-bikes
Comodule offers Autolock, an intelligent lock automation feature built into the Companion App:
Proximity-based: Your bike locks itself automatically when you walk away.
Time-based: The app locks your bike if no movement is detected for a set period.
Autolock is perfect for busy riders or anyone who’s ever forgotten to lock up.
