Firstly, there’s the security of knowing when you lock your bike up it will be there when you return. Bikes can be left outside flats, you can leave your bike outside your office, university or school without the worry that it will be stolen.

It’s estimate that 70% of bike thefts occur from homes, or places of work or learning and so it’s super easy to just remove your seat and place it by your door, on your desk at work or in your school or university locker.

Then there’s the potential cash savings the Vélo Unique Smart Seat™ offers. Bike locks can cost anything up to $200 each for the sturdiest of locks, but even these offer little in the way of a deterrent to a determined bike thief with a battery powered angle grinder or heavy duty bolt cutters. In most instances if the lock is too difficult to cut, a thief will merely cut through whatever the lock is connecting the bike to.

As the Vélo Unique Smart Seat™ reduces the risk of bike theft then it’s logical that bike insurance will become more affordable. We are currently in discussions with several major insurance firms with them looking to offer specialist products to owners of bikes fitted with a Vélo Unique Smart Seat™

The Vélo Unique Smart Seat™ is set to revolutionise bike usage. We firmly believe that with your help we can totally eradicate bike theft and make this a thing of the past.
