56 stolen e-bikes — all of them back at the dealer

Overnight, a specialist bicycle shop in St. Johann in Austria was broken into. 56 high-value e-bikes were gone in one go, an insured loss of more than €100,000.

One detail made the difference: every single bike had a PowUnity GPS tracker inside it, hidden away and barely bigger than a lighter.

While the van was already on the motorway, the system reported its location in real time. That allowed the vehicle to be located and stopped around 240 kilometres away. All 56 e-bikes went back to the owner in full — the case was solved within hours.

"When the van stopped 240 kilometres away, every single one of the 56 e-bikes was still on board — and went back to the dealer."

More and more insurers require bicycle dealers to fit their e-bikes with a GPS tracker. Cases like this one show why: a lock alone does not protect against a professional break-in — it is the positioning that decides whether the goods come back.

Not an isolated case, but a pattern.

Recovery Service

Europe-wide recovery at the touch of a button

Conventional trackers only supply the location — getting the vehicle back is left to the owner. With Europe's first Recovery Service for e-bikes, customers call in professional help straight from the app when it matters.

Media coverage · ZDF

"Terra Xpress" shows the case being solved on TV

After his protected e-bike was stolen, the owner picked up the trail together with his lawyer and the police — and uncovered three thefts at once. German television channel ZDF reported on the case.

Clear-up rate

20 e-bikes recovered

Where high-value e-bikes from €3,000 upwards are the norm, positioning decides whether you see the bike again. By the market launch alone, 20 stolen e-bikes had demonstrably been recovered.
