How a well-hidden, sealed tracker with engine cut-off protects a bike, and what owners of several bikes should look for. If your car disappeared tonight, how fast could you find it? Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Bikes need a small, sealed tracker: rain, dust and pressure-washing are real. - Hiding the unit well matters even more than on a car. - Movement and power-cut alerts are essential, because a bike can be lifted without starting it. Quick answer Motorcycles are stolen quickly because they are light and easy to load or push away. A motorcycle tracker is a compact, weather-sealed unit hidden in the bike's body and wired to its battery. It reports location over the mobile network, alerts you if the bike moves or its power is cut, and can include an engine cut-off. Owners who lease bikes to riders, such as on hire purchase, use trackers to see where each bike is and how it's used.

Real products, live prices, in stock now ## Key takeaways - Bikes need a small, sealed tracker: rain, dust and pressure-washing are real. - Hiding the unit well matters even more than on a car. - Movement and power-cut alerts are essential, because a bike can be lifted without starting it. - Owners of several bikes can see them all on one platform. ## Why bikes need a different approach - They can be lifted into a vehicle without the engine being started - There is less space to hide a tracker - Units are exposed to rain, dust, heat and washing - Motorcycle batteries are small, so standby power draw matters ## What to look for **Sealed unit**: Protected against water and dust **Hidden mounting**: Inside the body panels, not visible or easy to reach **Movement alert**: Warns you if the bike moves with the ignition off **Power-cut alert**: Backup battery reports if wires are cut **Engine cut-off**: Stops the bike restarting **Low standby draw**: Doesn't flatten a small battery ## Several bikes: owners and SACCOs Owners with several bikes on the road, including bikes leased to riders, can see every bike on one map, with daily distance, working hours and areas covered. That helps with scheduling servicing, spotting unusual use and responding quickly if a bike goes missing. **Tip**: Agree with riders up front that the bike is tracked. It reduces disputes and is part of fair, transparent management. The same platform works for cars and vans. See the [fleet management guide](https://qyvea.co.ke/fleet-management-system-kenya). ## Frequently asked questions Can a tracker be hidden on a small motorcycle? Yes. Motorcycle trackers are compact and can usually be hidden under body panels or the seat. Will a tracker flatten my motorcycle battery? A tracker designed for motorcycles has low standby power draw. Bikes parked for long periods should be checked. Can I track bikes I lease out to riders? Yes. You can see each bike on one platform, with trips and daily distance. ## Why customers choose Qyvea **Genuine brands**: Manufacturer warranty on what we sell, so you are not gambling on the box. **One team, start to finish**: The people who advise you also install and support it. **Fast answers**: WhatsApp replies usually within 30 minutes, and delivery within 24 hours in Nairobi. **Easy to buy**: Pay by M-Pesa, bank transfer or card.
