Bicycle recovery vs tracking

Tracking answers where the bike is right now. Recovery is what you do next – who gets the live link, how urgent the message is, and how long you stay on the map until the bike is safe.

One alert, three choices

When the device moves, WhatsApp offers Track, Ignore, or Sleep. That is your first decision – not an automatic broadcast to everyone you know.

Track privately, escalate on purpose

  • Track starts live tracking and gives you the map link. Contacts are not notified yet.
  • Share ride tells family or friends you are on a ride, with a calm message plus the live link.
  • Emergency uses urgent wording with the same live link when you need help finding the bike or assisting a rider.
  • Stop Tracking ends the live session when you are done.

Add contacts in the portal at 3BO.MOBI before Share ride or Emergency can reach them.

Why that sells

You get a clear live picture over cellular – including higher-frequency updates during a live session, useful on rural and quiet roads – then you choose the escalation. That is the difference between a ping and a recovery workflow.
