The only prerequisite is that you create the bike ID beforehand, either in analogue form or in an app. We will tell you what you should bear in mind and how you can ensure the best protection of your bike.
What is a bike ID and what are its advantages?
Similar to a passport, a bike ID contains specific information, which is useful for identification. However, in this case it is the characteristics of one bike or several bikes: for instance, brand and model, frame number, manufacturer, colour or coding. A photo should also be included.
What is all this information for?
With a bike ID, the police can identify a stolen bicycle and assign it to its owner. In addition, the ID is a valuable aid in communicating with a bike insurance company.
You can set up a bike ID in two ways:
- analogue on paper
- or with the help of a bike ID app
Create a bike ID in analogue form: This is how to do it!
If you record the data for your bike or e-bike in a bike passport, you have a much better chance of getting your bike back in the event of theft.
