New technology from Road Angel, the automotive technology company, can help owners of stolen quad bikes and motorbikes to track their vehicles down. Along with helping to recover stolen vehicles, it also doubles as a monitor for productivity and safety.
Road Angel originally developed the technology for motorbikes but it could be invaluable for owners of quad bikes too. The theft of ATVs, especially farm quads and custom quads, is on the rise. Farmers rely on their ATVs for getting around the farm but are a target for thieves due to the rural areas they live in. The technology would allow owners of stolen bikes to track them down online through a web portal.
Additionally, when the quad or bike is moved unlawfully, the unit attached to the machine would send a text message or email to the owner telling them that their vehicle had been moved. The clever software inside the unit also leaves a trail that can be followed online, allowing the police to track the stolen vehicle’s location.
The technology can be used to monitor the use of satellite mapping and gives owners the chance to keep tabs on a variety of statistics such as the level of the battery and miles being driven. To keep a close eye on your quad you would have to pay for the equipment and then take out a subscription for the monitoring. While the outlay may seem like an extra expense that you could do without, it could pay for itself if you become a victim of quad bike theft.
