Reviews

  • AirTags:
    • “Apple AirTags are a great way to add an extra layer of security to your bike. They’re affordable, easy to use, and can be hidden in a variety of places on your bike. However, it’s important to remember that AirTags aren’t a replacement for a good lock. If you’re leaving your bike unattended, be sure to lock it up securely, even if you have an AirTag on it.” – Cycling Weekly
  • GPS trackers:“GPS bike trackers are a more reliable way to track your bike than AirTags, but they’re also more expensive. If you’re serious about protecting your bike from theft, a GPS tracker is the best option.” – Wirecutter

Overall

If you’re looking for a relatively inexpensive and easy-to-use way to track your bike, an AirTag is a good option. However, keep in mind that AirTags rely on other Apple devices to be nearby in order to provide an accurate location, so they may not work as well in rural areas. If you need a more reliable tracking solution, or if you want additional features, such as geofence alerts and crash detection, a GPS tracker is a better option.

Ultimately, the best way to choose between an AirTag and a GPS tracker is to consider your individual needs and budget.
