Looking for guinea pigs in the Vancouver, BC, area! That could be _you_! I need user testimonials--the good, the bad and the ugly! So, I am looking for 2-3 people who ride+park regularly. You get a minder to test for a month, having paid a $99 CAD deposit. After a month, return the undamaged...

There is now limited stock available, for sale in the Vancouver, BC (Canada) area. I am not yet set up for sales to the US, but should be so as soon as the paperwork is completed.

Posted to the dealers'/vendors' page. I hope you'll check it out.

-- An intelligent alarm from bikeMinder.ca. Large siren, heard from 100 meters (or yards), controlled by an intelligent computer running massively complex firmware. The first of its kind. It's ready for sale, but stock is expected to be available in Spring 2023. Direct from the...

There are brand-specific forums as well. So I got confused.

Thought so. Much thanks! I've been composing the post.

Hmm. You mentioned a Garmin, so I assumed GPS. Yeah, cops rarely show up to recover your tracked bike for you. Have fun!

Yeah, I understand. You need an integrated solution ie a single brand's. Something like one from Bosch I saw a video for, recently. ... This one, perhaps: (I hope I'm allowed to post URLs.)

:-) It appears to randomly go off, because it has no intelligence. The manufacturer configures the electronics to be at a certain level of sensitivity. Sometimes, they provide a mechanism for you to do the same. But, live analysis (ie intelligence) is required. Furthermore, with intelligence (ie...

Then mine won't fit. There is no app or tracking. Its focus is on trying to _prevent_ the theft. Yes, the cheap ones ... well, depending upon how cheap it is, might use the same remote for multiple samples! Yes, there is a trade-off between convenience and security. Habits/Routines have a lot...

Oh, I see: The post-pub scenario! :-) On the one hand, mine'll scare the crap out of everyone--if the context has been spooking it. On the other hand, because the device is very visibly _on_ the lock, even a liquor-after-wine returnee won't miss it! :-0

Much thanks! Perhaps the Skunk Lock for your situation? ... I was half-joking when I wrote that; but, upon reflection, being away from other people might make that an advantage for that lock. Or brake-lever locks? Don't know; _you_ know your (parking) context better than me. As a rule: It's...

I've read mentions of the "vendor page", but I've not browsed such yet. I'll post to the Dealers forum, though I'm in the middle of something else, so that got postponed to later. I'll check out the categories/forums in a minute. Thanks!

I'm the one on the right.

Thanks, though I don't understand the first phrase. Are you implying that I should've posted pix? If so, I was just trying to tread delicately, since I'm a vendor. The link is in my profile. I'd be very grateful to anyone that'd click the video: I am desperate for view-counts (to feed the...

I always quote with the wind chill included. It'd be not as meaningful otherwise! :) Glad to hear that the ebike fared well at that temperature, even for an hour. This is very good news. ISP: Yes, studded. I no longer need them, since I moved out of ON/QC. I used to have multiple winter bikes...

For AAA batteries, I just use rechargeables. It feels a bit better! :-) For your usage (ie locked bike kept within eyesight, hopefully not in a theft-riddled neighbourhood), those alarms might suffice. (I'm assuming that the bar scenario you're describing has to do with someone _innocently_...

I suppose depending upon the duration of your ride, the battery might be fine. I _am_ surprised, though. Do you ride below -10 C? -20 C? . As for ISPs: I had to look them up! Integrated seat post? Since you mention hard pack, my first thought was studded tires. . I went to the bike show a few...

Thanks for the welcome! Funny you should mention other applications: I was reading about an ATV theft around Red Deer. And the Prairies and elsewhere. . I'm assuming your Lithium doesn't handle your winters. I've wondered what e-riders do, out East, or in the Prairies/North. I've done a lot of...

There are lots of such (motion-sensing) alarms. They typically go for $10-$50 CAD. It's not a new concept. But they're dumb--just a bunch of electronics triggering on movement. You can manually adjust the sensitivity, but then they either become hyper or they miss subtle attacks (eg unmounting...
