ST-2's GPS Thwarts a Thief

[J.R.]

"Only hours after Bill Kiriakis became the proud owner of a brand-new and very expensive e-bike, it was stolen. But while most bike theft stories end in tears, this one ends with a laugh—thanks in large part to the cutting-edge theft deterrent technology built into the bike."

The story first appeared on SFweekly and then other agencies picked it up.

Whether people think it is a cool story or an ad masquerading as a story, this bike is a great piece of machinery.

Yes, there are lots of things that can still be improved. As a urban assault vehicle, this thing rocks.
We are working on getting a Tesla Model S as a sag wagon for one of my day event in May. Will keep you updated as things go

I still have some doubts about the Geneva story.

It's hard to believe, the ST2 could receive signals from GPS satellites whilst he is located in a 40ft steel made overseas container.

Read the original story in Le Matin (french). BTW, the mentioned guy is owner of the Restaurant Entrecôte Saint-Jean.
